These pages are intended for the future professional mathematician who is now in middle school or high school. While the presentation is in simple language, rigor has not been sacrificed. In this manner of writing, the professional mathematician would forgive us for attempting to explain or clarify - by remarks at times - steps especially in proofs. The tenor of this writing here was set by a professional mathematician. We are writing here not for the mathematics journal but for the future mathematician in school. We invite professional mathematicians to send in comments as well as articles.

Parents and teachers of students showing promise in mathematics would also benefit from these pages.
