The WWW in Your Future

"The easiest way to predict the future is to invent it." -- Alan Kay, Apple Computer

The WWW is coming

WWW is coming to your schools and homes; whether it will be supplied by telephone companies, cable TV companies, or internet service providers (or all three) remains to be seen. but there is rapid growth and widespread agreement to make it inexpensive or free to schools. It is available now from Internet Service Providers and for browsing at least from the commercial service networks (America OnLine, etc.)

WWW will remake our ideas about publishing

Any of us can be an author; all of us can share in writing for our common interest.

WWW can link mathematics educators to computing as never before

As the sample pages illustrate, we have access to knowledge, software and computing, and mathematics content resources far beyond our own schools and capabilities. But they need to be made available and understandable to broader audiences.

Discrete Math is Not Strong on the WWW

Most of the WWW resources are in geometry, calculus, and research mathematics.

We will develop the Shared Interest community

The other important resource - educators knowledgeable and experienced in creating curriculum and classroom material about discrete math - is right in this room. We are that interest group.

So the only question is what do we want to Publish?

And you can start to answer that.
