National Math PanelFrank Forman here:Questions for the National Mathematics Advisory Panel2006 December 3Dear National Math Panel and Tyrrell Flawn,I am both including the questions in the message body of this e-mailand as a MS-Word attachment which is formatted.I am not sure who is reading the NationalMathPanel@ed.gov mailbox.Please reply to this at once, just to say that you have received thisset of questions. Tyrrell, when we met in the Secretary's meeting roomto celebrate Sarah Dillard's moving on to greener pastures, you showedan interest about questions I would like the Panel to address and saidyou would be in touch with me, though the rush of business evidentlyprevented that. So here they are.In no way should they be taken as constituting official policy of theDepartment. As you know, I work in the Planning and Program EvaluationService, but to make certain that my questions are not confused withany policy of the Department, I am sending them as a private citizen.I hereby place them in the public domain. For the moment I shall notdiffuse them further beyond Sarah Jensen and Kenneth Thomson, who workwith me and with whom I have discussed asking questions of the Paneland advised me about how to do so.Being in the public domain, feel free yourself to steal, modify,misrepresent, or distort the questions and ideas. If you want further ideas or clarifications, I shall provide them.You should also know that, before taking up economics in graduateschool, I was an undergraduate math major (both at the University of Virginia) and have read on my own a good deal about logic, set theory,metamathematics, and foundations. I can hardly be accused of notliking the subject, even if I feel the Panel should address the issueof usefulness.I have aimed to be comprehensive in getting all the issues out.Accordingly, it is quite long, but I hope not overly redundant or verbose.QUESTIONS FOR THE NATIONAL MATHEMATICS ADVISORY PANELDifficult questions may elicit deep answers, so the panel will better
