[Edu-sig] [Math 2.0] Math Thinking community, meet Math 2.0 network! February 24th webinar

[Edward Cherlin]

I've been wishing for this. Thanks. I signed up for the mailing list.

It turns out that the Java Web Start software is not available for
Debian or Ubuntu Linux, so I can't join in tonight.
