[Callers] The rest of the story

I teach at The Putney School, an academically intense/progressive/nerdy-hippy prep school with a working farm and a bunch of contradance-loving students who are also math geeks. Next week they're starting a ten-day intensive on the interrelation of traditional dance and math. Maypoles + Mathematical theory of braids and cyclic symmetries. Contradancing + Geometric transformations/Rotational motion/angular momentum. They're going to go to the Dawn Dance in Brattleboro, sit around and mess with LOTS of theory, write a dance, and present the whole thing to the school at the end. Cool project, huh? They need YOUR answers so that they can analyze the math/physics behind the moves. The next and final email will be the official reply form. PLEASE consider taking a few moments to fill it out and send it in - you will be much appreciated by a very cool group of kids -- one that probably contains at least one future caller! cheers again, Amy
