The Purpose of Calculus
Created nearly simultaneously by two mathematical geniuses, calculus to many is little more than a pointless numerical exercise. It's uses, though, are vast in number.

The Researcher's Most Important Tool - Critical Thinking
Critical Thinking is a tool for analysis of the veracity of statements. Anyone that must evaluate statements or documents that make claims - is best served by using a pro forma approach to the analysis. This will often guarantee that no critical element is over looked. This approach is one application of Critical Thinking.

Music Education Resources Part 2
There is something about having time off that is a little disorienting to me. First of all, my focus or the ability to "stay on task" is virtually null and void. For all of you self-starters, you probably have so many projects to complete, you can hardly find time to settle down long enough to tour these music education sites offered in this article. I hope you will make the time because I enjoyed myself immensely. Be prepared; some of these sites are, well, shall we say, unusual or more of a virtual playground. Hopefully these sites will aid in churning some creative brain cells, or at least cleaning some of the cob webs that can develop over the years.
