We are number 1 - oops, we are number 127!

http://mathfest.blogspot.com/2009/01/we-are-number-1-oops-we-are-num

According to a list of the top 200 jobs, Mathematicians have the best job. Teachers, unfortunately, hit the list at 127 - right between Vending Machine Repairer and Buyer.

See the related story, sent on to me by Dr. Doug Franks - maybe he was trying to cheer Dr. Dan Jarvis up on his birthday!

http://dougpete.wordpress.com/2009/01/05/stolen/

My idea for a blog entry this morning was stolen by TheCleverSheep.
That fuzzy blogger took my idea and ran with it.
What it ended up doing was generating a pretty insightful, inspiring post.  I think it’s a great concept.  In addition to the historical concept, I’m also thinking that this would be a great way to [...]
