Wild About Math! Making Math fun and accessible

Carnival of Mathematics and Multimedia #1

Guillermo Bautista has launched the latest Math Carnival. The Carnival of Mathematics and Multimedia is hosted at Guillermo's Blog of the same name.

Carnival #1 has 23 entries, a very respectable number for a new (and even for a not so new) carnival.

Guillermo will be nurturing the new baby carnival at his site for a couple of months but is then open having it become a traveling carnival. Guillermo - I'll be happy to host one.

The carnival emphasizes the following kinds of articles:

1. connections between and among different topics in mathematics as well connection of mathematics to other fields
2. use of mathematics in solving real life problems
3. clear, non-bookish conceptual explanations of mathematical concepts, particularly those which are hard to teach and difficult to learn
4. integration of technology in teaching mathematics
5. introduction of new software and Web 2.0 technologies
6. software reviews and tutorials
