A reclusive Russian may have solved one of the world's toughest mathematics problems and stands to win &#36;1 million -- but he doesn't appear to care.

A small group of thinking men and women convened at Rutgers University last month to consider how order theory - a branch of abstract mathematics that deals with hierarchical relationships - could be applied to the war on terror.

Lecturing on mathematics isn't Charles Lutwidge Dodgson's cup of tea. Imagining a world populated by skittish rabbits, hookah-smoking caterpillars and a Red Queen: That's his cup of tea. And maybe that's where he goes after dying on this day.

Recently two books,          by Peter Woit         and         by Lee Smolin,          have been published questioning whether the enormous theoretical        effort applied to the problems of string theory has been        fruitful.  Both books have been reviewed in           several        popular        publications,          and generated substantial discussion both inside and outside of        the physics community.                        One response was published several days ago           by Briane Greene          on the Op-Ed page of the New York Times (also        here).  A          famously grouchy observer          called the editorial a long, wistful plea for patience.  But        what struck me most as I read it was its similarity to the           crackpot index          maintained by John Baez.  So, for fun, I scored it.

Mike DeGraba is not your typical math teacher. To teach probability, he dresses up as a magician. For a lesson on multiplying polynomials, he becomes Groucho Marx. To divide monomials, he pretends to be a vampire.
