The American Mathematical Society organized the Special Session on Current Events at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Atlanta in 2005. Posted here are the talks presented at the session. The papers include, The Green-Tao Theorem on Primes in Arithmetic Progression: A Dynamical Point of View, by Bryna Kra; Achieving the Shannon Limit: A Progress Report, by Robert McEliece; Floer Theory and Low...

The Digital Proceedings of the Organic Mathematics Workshop, held at Simon Fraser University December 12-14 1995, are available on the Web. Papers are presented on such topics as Pfaff's Method, arithmetic properties of binomial coefficients, the Hirsch Conjecture, and differential equations, among others. However, what makes the site unique are the "mathactivations" that accompany the papers....
