Regarding researchers' boycotting Elsevier journals, a mathematician comments on the publisher's high priced mathematics titles as well as apparent lack of peer review.

in "A Letter to the Mathematics Community" Elsevier confirms its withdrawal of support for the Research Works Act, the number of open mathematics journals it publishes, clarifies policies on self-archiving of mathematics papers, and announces establishment of a "scientific council for mathematics."

"The participants of this study were undergraduate students at a university in Western Canada. They were enrolled in a Secondary Mathematics methods course as part of their program. A total of 21 students (10 males and 11 females) in the class participated voluntarily, ranging from ages 20 to 45 years old. " Surveyed before and after they design math games for the classroom.

"Some people love math, some hate it, and some are scared of it. Math for the Frightened provides a trauma-free entry into the world of numeracy, written by someone who is on your side. It even gives away the big secret: math really is useful"

"Abstract What does it mean to have random numbers? Without understanding where a group of numbers came from, it is impossible to know if they were randomly generated. However, common sense claims that if the process to generate these numbers is truly understood, then the numbers could not be random. Methods that are able to let their internal workings be known without sacrificing random results are what this paper sets out to describe. Beginning with a study of what it really means for something to be random, this paper dives into the topic of random number generators and summarizes the key areas. It covers the two main groups of generators, true-random and pseudo-random, and gives practical examples of both. To make the information more applicable, real life examples of currently used and currently available generators are provided as well. Knowing the how and why of a number sequence without knowing the values that will come is possible, and this thesis explains how it is accomplished."

"A University of Missouri researcher has found that children's weight is associated with their math performance. When compared with children who were never obese, boys and girls whose obesity persisted from the start of kindergarten through fifth grade performed worse on the math tests, starting in first grade."

Computer visualization, "For each natural number n, we draw a periodic curve starting from the origin, intersecting the x-axis at n and its multiples. The prime numbers are those that have been intersected by only two curves: the prime number itself and one."
