"Convergence: Where Mathematics, History and Teaching Interact" -- An Online Magazine on the History of Mathematics and Its Use in Teaching

美国数学协会（MAA）建议创建一个在线杂志的数学史及其在教学中的使用，题为“收敛：在数学，历史和教学互动。“融合”将为教师和教师教育工作者（9-14年级）提供数学史上源源不断的新材料，他们可以很容易地在课堂上使用，以丰富他们的课程，激发学生的兴趣，使数学更容易获得。 杂志上的材料类型将包括：㈠有相应讨论小组的解释性文章; ㈡西方和非西方原始资料的译文; ㈢资源评论（书籍、文章、网站等）;关于数学史的㈣课程计划;（五）三个吸引人的特别部分，每天更新：“一个历史问题的一天，““一个数学报价的一天，”和“今天发生了什么历史？“（vi）介绍世界各地数学史及其在教学中的应用的最新指南;以及（vii）历史简介该杂志将成为MAA数学科学数字图书馆（MathDL）的一部分。 “融合”的大部分技术工作将在“数学论坛”完成，现在设在德雷克塞尔大学。 “数学论坛”提供与MathDL类似的服务，将主持杂志的网页，维护网站并为讨论组开发软件。

The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) proposes to create an online magazine on the history of mathematics and its use in teaching, entitled "Convergence: Where Mathematics, History and Teaching Interact." "Convergence" will make available to teachers and teacher educators (Grades 9-14) a continuous flow of new material in the history of mathematics, which they can easily use in the classroom to enrich their courses, spark student interest and make mathematics more accessible. The types of materials appearing in the magazine will include:(i) Expository articles with corresponding discussion groups; (ii) Translations of original sources, both Western and non-Western; (iii) Reviews of resources (books, articles, websites, etc.) on the history of mathematics; (iv) Lesson plans;(v) Three attractive special sections, updated daily: "A Historical Problem of the Day," "A Mathematical Quotation of the Day," and "What Happened Today in History?"(vi) An up-to-date guide to what is happening around the world in the history of mathematics and its use in teaching; and(vii) Historical illustrationsThe magazine will be a part of the MAA Mathematical Sciences Digital Library (MathDL). Most of the technical work on "Convergence" will be done at "Math Forum," now housed at Drexel University. "Math Forum," which provides similar services to MathDL, will host the magazine's web pages, maintain the site and develop the software for the discussion groups.
