This one goes out to everyone studying related rates problems this weekend for Dr. Kujawa’s and Dr. Martin’s Calc I classes:
Good Luck with Finals!

Part Time Job Opportunity in Norman!
Dr. Lifschitz passed along this job opportunity here in Norman. If you’re interested, give Mr. Damiani a call to learn more.
My name is Joseph Damiani and I work for TeachPro Tutoring and I was given your number by Carly Shaw who is one of our tutors. We are hoping you know of someone that is a Math major that could tutor in upper level Math. Our particular focus would be in Algebra I and II and possibly Geometry. If you have anyone that is looking for a part time job in tutoring in Norman please send them my way at 330.6299 ext. 113 or my cell at 657.0008. Thanks.

500th Blog Post!
Not to be meta, but this is our 500th blog post.
Toothpaste. It’s what’s for dinner.
Now back to your regularly scheduled program.
Winner of the March PoTM
Better late than never, we wanted to tell you that the winner of the March Problem of the Month was Laurence White. Congratulate him when you see him!
Don’t tell Laurence or Dr. White, but people named White are always trouble 
:
Maybe things would have gone better if Joe was a mathematician and/or listened to Mr. White:
Joe: He was the only one I wasn’t 100% on. I should have my f****** head examined, going on a plan like this when I wasn’t 100%.
Mr. White: [shouting] That’s your proof?
Joe: You don’t need proof when you have instinct.
Algebra at NMF!
This weekend is the Norman Music Fest! It’ll have 100+ bands over three days in downtown Norman and it’s 100% free!
Having nothing to do with math except the name, the Tulsa based rapper Algebra will be doing two shows. We highly recommend him. Check it out!:
2013 PRiME: Purdue Research in Mathematics Experience
Dr. Martin let us know of a late breaking summer research experience. Purdue University will be hosting an REU this summer called PRiME (Purdue* Research in Mathematics Experience). It will be a group of 6-8 students lead by Dr. Edray Goins. The group will work on problems in number theory. For all the details, you can go to the PRiME website. The main thing to know is that the application deadline is
this Friday, April 26th!
Another Prime research group working to solve hard problems!
* It’s a good thing it’s not at Clemson, Georgia, Kansas!

Problem of the Month: Examples Needed
The Grand Poobah of the Problem of the Month has unleashed a new Problem. You can read the problem (and the rules) at the Problem of the Month webpage. It’s all about finding a certain bounded function.
If you can’t get enough of math pun comics, you’ve got to check out this webpage!
Don’t tell him, but we think the Grand Poobah of the PotM has bounded rationality.
Euler’s Birthday!
Unless you’re that one person who uses Bing, you probably noticed that today’s Google doodle is in honor of Leonhard Euler’s 306th birthday:
Happy Birthday Euler!
If you look closely, you’ll see shoutout’s to Blog favorites like the Euler Characteristic, Euler’s Formula, and the Königsberg Bridges Problem (which was when Euler simultaneously invented topology and graph theory!).
