MnSCN member Dr. Albert A. Bartlett, Professor Emeritus of the Department of Physics at the University of Colorado, Boulder has come out with a DVD and book on exponential arithmetic, energy, population and sustainability.

The 74-minute DVD is of Bartlett's popular lecture "Arithmetic, Population and Energy: Sustainability 101." The 302-page paperback reprints Bartlett's papers over the past 30 years, and includes articles on crude oil depletion by L. David Roper and "Exponential Growth As A Transient Phenomenon In Human History" (1976) by M. King Hubbert. Chapters 6 and 7 give many activities that can be used in middle-school math classrooms to help students gain a fundamental understanding of the arithmetic of steady growth.

See the table of contents at the website and purchase a copy of the book/DVD: http://scimath.unl.edu/exp/exp.html.

Watch or listen to Dr. Albert Bartlett's presentation, "Arithmetic, Population and Energy," on Global Public Media.
