About Our New Name

Editor Murray R. Falk

The name “Delta-K” was chosen. Delta, as you probably know, is the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet, and is used in Mathematics to represent an increment, or increase. K stands for knowledge: knowledge of mathematics, knowledge of teaching mathematics, knowledge of new methods and developments in our discipline. Thus “Delta-K” represents the increase in knowledge which the journal constantly strives to produce.
