UBIQUITY ALERT: KAK ON QUANTUM COMPUTERS, ANDERSEN ON MATHEMATICS IN
HIGH SCHOOL

KAK: ON THE REALIZABILITY OF QUANTUM COMPUTERS
     When we go from single and entangled pairs of particles to groups of
particles as in various methods of quantum computing, the question of the
physical realizability of the mathematical model become a serious issue. The
issue of realizability is the focus of this paper by Subhash Kak of
Louisiana State
University.http://www.acm.org/ubiquity/views/v7i11_quantumcomputers.html

ANDERSEN: WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE MATH IN HIGH SCHOOL
     An article by Espen Andersen of the Norwegian School of Management
encourages students to choose math as a major subject in high school -- not
just in preparation for higher education but because having math up to
maximum high school level is important in all walks of life. The article has
already appeared in Aftenposten, a large Norwegian newspaper, and has been
widely praised in Europe. See
