For the last few months, it's been amazing how many topics in
Scienctific American have been really similar to topics from our
discrete math course, a lot of which has been directly based on material
and topics from DREI... we should count our blessings.

Dear Friends,
             The April Scientific American has a variety of items of
  interest. The topologist/geometer Jeff Weeks (and co-authors) discuss
   the interplay of geometry and the idea that the universe may be finite
   rather than infinite.  There is also an article about Alan Turing the
   pioneer of computing that has lots of interesting information. Finally,
  Ian Stewart's columun deals with why phone cords get twisted. The
    mathematics is also useful in understanding DNA  coiling; the
       article reports on the remarkable connection between linking number,
      "helical turns" and writhing.


                                   Regards,
                                           Joe
