Hamilton alumnus Robert Moses '56, founder of the Algebra Project, a national program that teaches math literacy to rural and inner-city students, has written a book titled Radical Equations: Math, Literacy and Civil Rights (Beacon Press). An article featuring Moses appears in USA Today (2/8).
The Algebra Project, based in Cambridge, Mass., assists some 10,000 students each year. Moses developed the Project in 1982 out of a belief that math literacy is the key to economic access. Moses majored in philosophy and French at Hamilton, and was a member of the basketball team.
