...Pamela" would like you to know that she loves art. That she would have got honors at her graduation from Marlborough High School in Marlborough, Mass., last month, except for a slip on her Algebra II final. That she would go to the Massachusetts College of Art this fall, but her restaurant-worker parents can't pay the nearly $18,000 tuition.

...Lane was most famous for the ground-breaking paper he co-wrote with Samuel Eilenberg of Columbia in 1945 which introduced category theory, a framework to show how mathematical structures relate to each other. This branch of algebra has since influenced most mathematical fields and also has functions in philosophy and linguistics, but was first dismissed by many practical mathematicians as too abstract to be useful...
According to Mathematics Department Chair and Higgins Professor of Mathematics Joseph D. Harris, Chen is teaching Gross’ class, Mathematics 123, “Abstract Algebra II: Theory of Rings and Fields,” in the interim...
...Johnson is not using the term in its moral or social sense. He's not arguing whether reality TV humiliates people, video games promote violence or movies glorify sex. Instead he wants to know whether it gives the brain a good "cognitive workout." For Johnson, pop culture is like algebra class. Whether you remember the quadratic equation as an adult is less important than whether you learned the analytic thought processes that solving equations teaches. Likewise, for Johnson, what matters about pop culture is not its message but whether it forces you to engage in complex thought, analysis and reasoning...
