The Human Cannonball, Ferris Wheels,  and Trigonometry

Dear Colleagues,

Below you will find links to the transparencies  presentation used for my presentation. If you look around this site you will also see links to some classes I taught recently, and other talks I have given.  You are welcome to use any of the material you find here.

If you have any questions or comments for me, please email me at

 pat@mckeague.com.

I hope you will try some of the transparencies in your classes, and that you give yourself permission to use five minutes of any class period for whatever you find interesting in, and around, mathematics. 

Thanks again for attending my talk

Pat McKeague

Postage Stamps of Mathematicians This page contains postage stamps involving mathematics.  You will find many things here that you can use in class.

Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary  This is the Merriam-Webster online dictionary.  If you have on-line access in your classroom, this is a good place to go to look up definitions during class.  For example, look up the definition for scientific notation.  I think you will like it.
