Vol. 4 No 1 - Pi Mu Epsilon

EDITORIALThe Pi Mu Epsilon Journal consists, mainly, of advanced undergraduates.It is the Editor's feeling that the contributions, also, should come,mainly, from undergraduates.In the past, the Journal has not succeeded in soliciting very manypapers from non-faculty members of Pi Mu Epsilon. This fact is notunrelated to the unfortunate truth that mathematics education in theUnited States has failed to stimulate and train mathematically-mindedstudents to carry through and to write u~ investigations more extensivethan those suggested in problems of their textbooks. Hopefully, thisstate of affairs is now changing--especially with the encouragement fromthe National Science Foundation in the form of financial support forUndergraduate Research Programs.Thus, dear Undergraduate Reader, consider this a loud call for apaper from you!
