Re: [Phys-l] Mosteller In Memoriam



Brian Whatcott (2006), in his brief Phys-L post 05 Aug 2006 titled "Mosteller In Memoriam," quoted the short 158-word "Time notice, Aug 7th" regarding Mosteller.

For a more detailed 941-word homage to Mosteller see "Mathematical Theorist Frederick Mosteller," by Adam Bernstein (2006) in the Washington Post of 25 July 2006, online at <http://tinyurl.com/po4go>.

Among Mosteller's recent stellar contributions of to education research were "Why We Need a Structured Abstract in Education Research [Mosteller et al. (2004)], and "Evidence Matters: Randomized Trials in Education Research" [Mosteller & Boruch (2002)].
