Peer reviewedWaits, Bert K.; Silver, Jerry L. – Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1973
Two approaches are discussed for calculating the work necessary to pump water from a conical or parabolic container. The direct method derived from the definition of work is easy to misuse, as illustrated by a student's incorrect solution. (JP)

Peer reviewedDavis, Philip J. – Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1980
Aspects of the source of power of mathematics and the ways in which mathematics works are discussed. The author discusses various philosophies about mathematics, presents several unusual "real world" problems, and reviews the social consequences of the "imposition of mathematics" on humanity. (MP)
