 Please join us for our next meeting on Tuesday, January 10th from 7:00
 to 9:00 at Trinity Lutheran Church

     The Hyperreal Dictionary of Mathematics, Part II

     The goal of the Hyperreal Dictionary of Mathematics project
     is to do to math what the GNU project did to UNIX by creating
     a free and comprehensive database of mathematics along with a
     suite of tools.
     
     Joe Corneli, the "other half" of the HDM project, will
     demonstrate HDM's new hypertext and AI authoring tool
     Arxana, also known as "the scholium system".
     
     Arxana is no ordinary hypertext tool, it draws heavily on
     the ideas from Ted Nelson's Project Xanadu combining them
     with an AI semantic network strategy and is implemented as a
     a GNU emacs package.

 Joe Corneli received his undergraduate degree from New College of
 Florida in 2002, after which he enrolled in the mathematics Ph. D.
 program at the University of Texas (Austin) where he became increasingly
 involved in the alternative mathematics community that has grown up
 around the PlanetMath.org website.

 His publication credits include the co-authorship of two papers in
 differential geometry and an editing credit for the Free Encyclopedia of
 Mathematics.  

 For the last three years Joe has been working full-time on the HDM
 project.
