So what does math have to do with real life? Eileen Ivers, a master fiddler in the Irish tradition and a native of Bronx, graduated magna cum laude in Mathematics from Iona College. Math, she says, formed the basis for much of her music, which is, after all, all about rhythmic patterns.

Here's a provactive blog by a New Zealand student, a musician -- The Bass Player's Blog -- who wonders why there isn't a School 2.0.

And here's a video about a school that teaches math by involving students in real-life architectural design.
