Math in the Media The American Mathematical Society has created a new online periodical called Math in the Media. Not only doews it contain news about mathematics, as well as sections on books, plays, movies or television shows related to mathematics. If you scroll to the bottom you'll see a reference to a article in La Repubblica, one of Italy's leading newspapers, about a Lebanese engineer who has recently announced a proof of Euclid's Fifth Postulate. That proof can be filed in the same draw as perpetual motion machines.
