PRIMUS Editors’ Picks 2024, Most Downloaded Paper: We select a paper that is already highly active in part because this activity is evidence that people are finding this paper useful and compelling. This suggests to me that the subset of people who already had access to this paper, and people who went out of their way to get this paper, believe that this paper needs to be read by a wider cross-section of our community. It might seem like this one is not a choice, but not all papers are uniformly accessible in time or method, so there is some editorial discretion needed … This paper compares implementation of standards-based grading across institutions to explore tradeoffs and subtleties in decision-making. I’m excited about the national conversation happening in our discipline about the impacts of grading, but it worries me how many people are left to reinvent a new paradigm on their own. This is one of the papers that can support new thinkers and help our whole community move forward more effectively.”

The Encyclopedia of Mathematics and Society

Greenwald, S.J. and Thomley, J.E. (Eds). (2011). The Encyclopedia of Mathematics and Society, Vols. 1-3. Pasadena, CA: Salem Press. ISBN: 978-1-58765-844-0, e-ISBN: 978-1-58765-848-8 (see also the Salem Press webpage)

The goal of The Encyclopedia of Mathematics and Society is to weave multilayered connections between society, history, people, applications, and mathematics … In general, the articles do not teach or present detailed mathematical theory, derivations, and equations … Instead, we intended them to serve as a foundation and jumping-off point for additional explorations. As mathematics professor and educator Art Johnson has noted in other settings, we hope that this type of contextualization helps people to “see mathematics as a discipline that transcends culture, time, and gender, and as a discipline for everyone, everywhere.” (Introduction, p. x)

Library Journal Best Reference, 2011: “This enlightening, well-written set, which has no current competitors, is highly recommended for all public and academic libraries. The material offers an entirely new way of looking at things.”
