    Mult icult uralisrn in Mat hernat ics: Historical Truth or Political Correctness? Allyn Jackson PROVIDENCE,RHODE ISLAND Introduction Multiculturalism, cultural relativism, Eurocentrism, political correctness-these are fighting words in academia today. As conservatives clash with liberals over who controls the collegiate curriculum, the fight over multiculturalism is shaping much of educational debate today. With books like Dinesh d’Souza’s IZZiberuZ Education running up against a growing Afrocentrism movement in academia, the debate has been scorching. As one writer put it in an opinion column in the Chronicle of Higher Education, “Multiculturalism has emerged suddenly as a scholarly buzz word, and, with equal speed, has been converted into an epithet.” The term multiculturalism is used in many different ways to encompass many different aspects of teaching and scholarship. Generally, it refers to attempts to acknowledge and investigate the role of all cultures having an influence on a particular field. As it pertains to the collegiate curriculum, multiculturalism has perhaps become most closely identified with attempts to revise the literary canon of humanities courses to include authors from varied ethnic backgrounds. Charging “political correctness,” conservative scholars have decried this trend, saying it stifles debate and dilutes the impact of education by including every conceivable viewpoint. Liberals shoot back, saying that traditional curricula have stifled debate for years by giving credence to only Western viewpoints and values.

SMITH Analyst in Science and Technology Science Policy Research Division D February ry 18, 1976 CONGRESSIONAL RESEARCH SERVICE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS D L- - sko 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION...... ......................... ,.................,.. 1 PART I: EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE ..................... 3 PART II: UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS ........................ 19 INTRODUCTION The following selected bibliography on UFOs and extraterrestrial in- telligence is prepared as a companion to The UFO Enigma (Library of Congress, 1976) and Possibility of Intelligent Life Elsewhere in the Uni- verse (U. S. Congress. House.. Committee on Science and Technology. Washington, U. S. Govt. Print. Off., 1975), both by this author. All UFO bibliographers are indebted to Lynn Catoe of the Library of Con- gress Science and Technology Division for her 1968 comprehensive bib- liography on the subject, and this publication uses many of her citations for pre-1969 works. Sources published after 1969, however, are fo- cused on and are meant to represent all entries in The Library's card catalog, even though some of the books were not available for annotation. The section on extraterrestrial intelligence is separated from UFOs since they are different, although interrelated, fields of research. Many who speculate on the existence of other intelligent civilizations in the universe do not believe Earth has been visited by such beings yet, and do not rely on UFO reports.as a basis for their conclusions. As a sep- arate field of interest, books dealing primarily with the possibility of other intelligent life are distinguished from UFO citations, although some could belong in both categories, Time and space have limited the number of selections that could be incorporated, and the inclusions are meant to be both representative of the literature and easily available through local libraries.

In planning any history of mathematics course, there is no more important question than who your audience will be. If you misjudge the answer to this question, your course will be a disaster. Your students will be very unhappy. You will be distraught. You should be able to determine your audience in advance. If the course is already on the books, then the syllabus will list some prerequisite. Perhaps the course is even required of some group of students. Knowing your audience settles the hardest question. If you are teaching a course that has never been taught at your school, at least not in recent years, then you will have to drum up an audience. You will know some of these students and can safely assume that the friends they persuade to sign up too are somewhat like them.
