Lockhart's Lament
This month's column is devoted to an article called A Mathematician's Lament
, written by Paul Lockhart in 2002. Paul is a mathematics teacher at Saint
Ann's School in Brooklyn, New York. His article has been circulating through
parts of the mathematics and math ed communities ever since, but he never
published it. I came across it by accident a few months ago, and decided at
once I wanted to give it wider exposure. I contacted Paul, and he agreed to

Barack Obama, who lamented Friday that “we have not managed our federal
budget with any kind of discipline,” is nonetheless promising to spend $50
billion on a United Nations anti-poverty program that critics say will drive
up American debt.
“The short-term weakness in the capital market is a reflection of long-term
problems that we have in our economy,” Obama told reporters in Florida. “
We have been loading up enormous amounts of debt.” |

诸比丘! 尔时，毗婆尸菩萨如是思惟：“此正觉之观道，由我所证悟：名色灭则识灭，识灭则名色

诸比丘! 于 “灭尽!灭尽” 之思惟，毗婆尸菩萨，于诸前未曾闻之法，眼生、智生、明生、光明生。
此经英译本的译者Maurice Walshe 的用词是：insight （vipassana） way ，所以译成观道或
