...contrast, Alan M. Taylor, this year's recipient of the Joseph Hodges Memorial Choate Fellowship, is studying economics, even though he majored in math at Cambridge University's King's College. Presented in honor of a former president of the Harvard Club of New York who was ambassador to Great Britain, the Choate fellowship is awarded annually to one Cambridge student. The Harvard Club of New York has funded the award, which includes tuition and a monthly stipend, since its establishment...
...Gephardt was back. "I do think it would be possible," he said, "now that Mike has modified his trade stance, and if the convention desires . . ." His voice trailed off. The director ordered a close-up of Dukakis, silently doing the math once more; Gephardt, even if he could sway all his delegates, could not assure the nomination.

As I've said before, I'll be talking with Dick and many others, but I don't think this is the place...
...Greek mathematical text. Then he added, "I have discovered a truly remarkable proof ((of the theorem)), which this margin is too small to contain." Did he really have the answer? The attempts of generations of scientists to find out have made Fermat's Last Theorem the El Dorado of math problems. Now, at long last, an assistant professor at Tokyo Metropolitan University seems to have broken the code. Last month at Bonn's Max Planck Institute, Yoichi Miyaoka, 38, sketched out his answer on a blackboard for fellow mathematicians...
...addition, Patterson says she plays a special role for female students. "I prefer to work with girls because I think they need special encouragement," she says. "It is important for them to see a role model who has had success in these `impossible' math and science courses and can show them that they...
...some tutors say they do not expect to become very close to their students. "I'm not looking for a big sibling relationship. In part, it's the nature of [math and science] subject matter. It's hard to discuss life when you're discussing numbers," Patterson says. "I have discussed boyfriends and colleges but not had any deep friendships...
