A PROBLEM
The Editor is interested in the properties of the “number” i^i . Is it real? Complex? What about i^-1? Which of the two is larger? Perhaps some mathematician who receives this publication can shed some light on the questions suggested. The Editor will welcome papers on the subject.

Readers are again reminded that letters to the Editor are welcome anytime.

Your President, Mr. Jim Kean, attended the NCTM Annual Meeting in Anaheim, California, on your behalf, during the Easter vacation. We hope to include a report of that meeting in the next issue of “Delta-K”.
