- Open Humanities Press
As more and more journals elect to move to an open-source model, it is delightful to learn about the existence of the Open Humanities Press (OHP). Their mission is "to make leading works of contemporary critical thought freely available worldwide." First-time visitors will want to look over the "About OHP" section before delving into the rest of the site. Afterwards, they should feel free to look through one of their seven journals, which include "Cosmos and History", "Culture Machine", "Film-Philosophy", and "Fibreculture". While all of the journals are worth a look, the "Film-Philosophy" journal is particularly compelling, and visitors can browse through issues back to 1997. Finally, visitors can also learn about submitting their work for consideration and also take in a few essays about the guiding principles and history of the OHP.

- Mathematics Education at West Point: The First Hundred Years
In 1834, the Committee on Military Affairs at the United States Military
Academy at West Point was unequivocal in their support for mathematics,
noting that "Mathematics is the study which forms the foundation of the
course of study at the United States Military Academy". This fine piece of
research by V. Frederick Rickey and Amy Shell-Gellasch looks at the first
hundred years of mathematics education at West Point, offered as part of
the Convergence magazine published by the Mathematical Association of
America (MAA). Following a brief introduction, the piece takes a close
look at the role of mathematics education during the early years of West
Point, and then moves on to examine the use of various mathematics
textbooks and principles during the next century. It's an engaging read,
and one can imagine that this article could be used in any number of
educational history or mathematics education courses.
