AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for "New Math" materials used in the 1960s, particularly for elementary students. The original poster expresses interest in these resources due to their inclusion of Discrete Math concepts. A responder acknowledges the request but questions the motivation behind it, indicating a willingness to help find materials if necessary. The focus remains on locating teaching materials that effectively convey Discrete Math to young children.

Thanks

Thank you for the reply. I understand that the New Math included lots of Discrete Math. I'm looking for Discrete Math teaching materials for young children.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
