PUMAS (poo'
· mas) -- is a collection of
one-page examples of how math and science topics taught in K-12
classes can be used in interesting settings, including everyday life. The
examples are written primarily by scientists and engineers, and are
available to teachers, students, and other interested parties via the
PUMAS Web Site. Our goal is to capture, for the benefit of pre-college
education, the flavor of the vast experience that working
scientists have with interesting and practical uses of math and
science...
