I know a little

Hi,

I'm pleased to find this forum, I teach math at a local university, and am currently involved in a program for reform in math education.  The motto of this program is "teach less, learn more".

     Some of my responses may be slightly non-traditional, but accurate nonetheless.  I believe that math is a set of concepts that is a playground for everyone to explore.  Rather than a salt mine with an infinitely large set of algorithms to memorize.

Hi Eeyore, "non-traditional, but accurate" sounds like good fun ... we are going to have to keep our eyes on you

(BTW, Ganesh may not respond to your puzzle answers as he is currently "away", but will be back in a month or two.)
