Math Anxiety I did not realize before that I had any feelings of anxiety related to the subject of mathematics. Math is not the most difficult subject although certainly it can be challenging. Yet, my writing indicates that I do feel math-related anxiety which therefore need to be better understood. From early on, I knew that math was not my favorite subject.

Mathematics in Digital Photography The advances in both digital photography and computing have allowed more detailed and complex images to be shown on more realistic media than was ever previously possible. Through the use of more specialized equipment and digital imaging techniques the resulting photos of even the most novice user today can rival those of professionals from years before. This level of photographic precision could never have been achieved were

if, as Halmos suggests, math is a creative art then math must also be the handmaid of science. Describing mathematics as a creative art helps students of math better understand the true roles of the mathematician. Numbers, while in many ways central to the art of math, do not comprise the whole lexicon of mathology. Mathematics does stem from "sheer pure intellectual curiosity," enabling students to perceive the world through

S.O.S. Mathematics (http://www.sosmath.com/) For "high school, college students, and adult learners," SOS serves as both refresher course and introduction to new material. Although the information and exercises on the site are limited and the site does include annoying advertisements, S.O.S. is a worthy Web site. Hacking Mathematics (http://www.math.fsu.edu/~wooland/hm/hm.html) An online textbook for a liberal arts mathematics course, this site offers students the opportunity to gather information and complete corresponding exercises. Project-Based Instruction in Mathematics

Balacheff (1987) described four levels of justification, which are those as follows: (1) Native empiricism; 2) Crucial experiment; 3) Generic example; and 4) Thought experiment. (Taflin, nd) Naive empiricism is stated to be "an assertion based on a small number of cases." (Taflin, nd) Crucial experiment is stated to be "an assertion based on a particular case, but the case was used as an example of a class of objects." (Taflin, nd) the
