R. L. MOORE: SCHOLARS INVITED  FOR ARTICLES

A biography by John Parker, R.L. Moore: Mathematician & Teacher, has been published by the Mathematical Association of America.

Financial support is available for scholars to produce articles concerning the Moore Method and/or R. L. Moore (1882-1974) who taught mathematics at The University of Texas, Austin, between 1920 and 1969.

R.L. Moore developed the Moore Method of teaching, which replaced "lecture and response" learning with what is today called inquiry- based learning or discovery learning. Some very prolific thinkers took Ph.D.s from Dr. Moore. He was eccentric, provocative, and fascinating - an appropriate subject for a richly flavored biography with dramatic impact and lasting value. Moore's influence on the field makes him one of the most interesting figures of twentieth-century American mathematics.

Extensive archival information is available. Please spread the word to qualified writers who might be interested in this project.
