TODAY'S TOURBUS TOPIC: WorldTime / Millenium Math
Greetings once again, Tourbus riders! Today I've got an eclectic
sampler of sites I think you'll like. An interactive globe, a seven
million-dollar math contest, and a cool presentation on fetal
development. But first, a few words from our sponsors...

IS IT MORNING IN MADAGASCAR?
------------------------------
WORLDTIME is a cool site where you can view an image of the globe with
shadows indicating day and night. You can also rotate the globe, set
the direction from which you would like to view it, and zoom in on
specific locations.
You can optionally add a longitude and latitude grid, draw the
national borders, or change the size of the globe. Clicking on a
country will change the page so that it includes time information for
selected cities and towns, along with a list of public holidays for
that country. If you're geographically-challenged, click on "View
list of countries" and you can zoom right to the correct spot on the
globe by selecting the country name. Pretty nifty.

WHO WANTS TO BE A MATHEMILLIONAIRE?
-------------------------------------
In order to celebrate mathematics in the new millennium, The Clay
Mathematics Institute has published seven classic mathematical
questions that have resisted solution over the years, offering a prize
of $1 million each for the solutions.
http://www.claymath.org
The seven Millennium Prize Problems include P Versus NP, the Poincare
Conjecture, the Yang-Mills/Mass Gap Problem, and the perpetually
puzzling Riemann Hypothesis. Order now! Pay only $19.95 and you'll
get a set of FREE steak knives. (Oops, my subconscious just sort of
blurted that out. Too many Ronco commercials as a child, I guess.)
The CMI mathematicians believe that solutions to these classic
problems may result in breakthroughs in other areas, such as aerospace
particle physics, and the debate over whether or not dogs have lips.
Each problem has what I call a "Plain English" description, and a
"Really Geeky" description, formulated by a leading specialist in the
subject area. I got a chuckle from reading the description of the P
Versus NP problem, which basically challenges one to prove that some
problems really ARE hard to solve. Hint: Start with this one. If you
can debunk P Versus NP, the solutions to the other Millennium Problems
may prove trivial. :-)
I just hope that the CMI folks don't say "Is that your final answer?"
when people submit their papers.

FIRST 9 MONTHS
----------------
My sister Sue recently sent me a link to a site that's so nicely done,
I just had to share it with you. The "First 9 Months" site, presented
by iVillage and ParentsPlace.com, shows you the stages in the fetal
development of a little girl named Emma and the experience of her
mother Deanna through her husband's eyes.
I don't think I've ever seen such an excellent online presentation,
combining visuals, music, and convenient navigation. You'll learn a
lot about pregnancy and development of the unborn child. And yes, the
material is suitable for kids.

That's all for now, see you next time! --Bob Rankin
