New Jersey Meetings Dear Colleague, I enjoyed my visit to New Jersey very much. Thank you for the warm welcome and for being so receptive to the material I presented. Below you will find links to the transparencies I used during the talks at County College of Morris and the MATYCNJ Conference. I have also included links to some of the sites I showed or mentioned during the presentations. 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. Note: In some cases I have included a second file with notes on how we used the transparencies during the talks. These files are under the heading Instructor Notes Here.

Links to Other Sites Postage Stamps of Mathematicians This page contains postage stamps involving mathematics. You will find many things here that you can use in class. Sierpinski Zoom Movie This page has the zoom movie of the Sierpinski triangle. Fractal Zoom Movies Toward the bottom of this page is the free movie player that you can download to play the other fractal zoom movies the were shown in the presentation. 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. Stages of the Sierpinski Triangle This site will let you see each stage of the Sierpinski triangle with a few clicks of your mouse. Mona Lisa Applet This is the website that allows you to frame the face of the Mona Lisa with a golden rectangle. Golden Rectangle Applet This is the website that shows how the golden rectangles spiral down smaller and smaller. Kepler's First and Second Laws
