A Cooperative Endeavor to Publish and Disseminate a Magazine for High School Students who are Gifted in Science and Mathematics

美国国家科学教师协会正与美国国家数学教师委员会和美国物理教师协会合作，为在科学和数学方面有天赋的高中生制作一本杂志。该杂志的目的是提供丰富的创造性思维和解决问题的机会，以吸引这些学生从事科学和数学相关的职业。这本名为《量子》（Quantum）的杂志将以成功的苏联学生杂志《Kvant》为蓝本，后者包含物理和数学文章以及大量解决问题的活动。根据与莫斯科量子局的谅解函，Kvant编辑将提供文章的翻译和附带艺术品的原件。由数学和物理两名总编辑和由杰出的科学和数学教师和教授组成的顾问委员会决定《量子》的内容，审查所有的出版文章，并征求美国科学家和数学家的文章，以补充Kvant的文章。这个三年项目的第一年将专门出版该杂志的两期首期，第一期于1989年11月出版，第二期于1990年4月出版。第一期的接受者将返回一张评价出版物的回应卡，以便收到第二期。第二期发行后将进行市场调查。订阅和广告空间的销售，以及企业捐赠，将有助于支持《量子》的制作成本。

The National Science Teachers Association is working with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the American Association of Physics Teachers to produce a magazine for high school students who are gifted in science and mathematics. The purpose of the magazine is to provide enrichment opportunities in creative thinking and problem solving to attract these students to science and math related careers. The magazine, to be called Quantum, will be patterned after the successful Soviet student magazine, Kvant, which contains physics and mathematics articles and numerous problem-solving activities. According to the Letter of Understanding with the Quantum Bureau in Moscow, the Kvant editors will provide translations of articles and original copies of accompanying artwork. Two editors-in-chief, one for math and one for physics, and an advisory board made up of outstanding science and math teachers and professors will determine the content of Quantum, review all articles for the publication, and solicit articles from U.S. scientists and mathematicians to supplement those from Kvant. The first year of this three-year project will be devoted to the publication of two premiere issues of the magazine, the first in November of 1989 and the second in April of l990. Recipients of the first issue will return a response card evaluating the publication in order to receive the second issue. A marketing survey will be conducted following distribution of the second issue. Sales of subscriptions and advertising space, as well as corporate donations, will help support the cost of producing Quantum.
