Subject: mathematics discussion group

A few months ago I received a letter from a friend in Central America who is a
math teacher and who wanted to know if I had any materials of mathematical
interest that I could send him. I used to be involved in physics but over the
past several years have slowly gotten rid of this material due to
considerations of space. I would like to know if anyone on the Humanist
network knows of a discussion group that is concerned with mathematics and its
teaching. Any suggestions for my friend may be of value to him. If you wish,
you can send your replies directly to me.

Subject: Network Building


I'm actively involved in pushing my college into the computer age. Part of
that push involves building a campus lan, which everyone now agrees is
necessary. One possible direction leads to AT&T Starlan/SmartHub hardware.
Does anyone have any experience with this equipment, and if so, would you
share it with me? Feel free to respond directly to me rather than the list;
I'll be happy to post a summary of responses if there appears to be interest.

Thanks.

Subject: Need Contact in Zambia


Fellow Humanists,

Does anyone have a contact at the University of Zambia? I'm trying
to establish a link with a friend doing fieldwork there. *Any*
info on facilitating communication in and out of Zambia would be
most appreciated.

Subject: maya dates

I posted this question on LN, but I am afraid that there aren't many Maya
scholars on LN. Are there any on HUMANIST? Please answer directly to R.
Gauthier (GAUTHIER@FRCICT81.BITNET), because I don't think he is on HUMANIST
(although he should if he gets positive answers!).

Thanks,
Jean Veronis, LN co-editor

Would somebody know where I could get hold of the algorythm for the conversion
of maya dates? Would somebody know the whereabouts of Professor Monroe Edmonson
the maya specialist? Thanks for any clue.

Subject: recommeded bookshops in Muenchen, Germany

I'll be visiting Muenchen (Germany) next week and I would like
to know the name of a couple - I didn't want to say "the best" - of
bookstores specialized for German literature.
I would also like to visit a bookstore selling Mac related books.
Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Please reply directly to me.
