Subject: Fwd: PUMAS

A request for the online refereed journal, Practical Uses of Math and 
Science.  If you have submissions, please consider writing them for the 
journal.

If you have less-defined examples or if you have requests, I'd be happy to 
pass them on to listserves of the sort of people who might be able to fill 
those requests or flesh out the examples, but who need inspiration.  Or 
challenges.
