• Resumen

  • This is the 100th Mathematical Lens column! Ron Lancaster and Brigitte Bentele wish to thank the Mathematics Teacher editorial staff and the many readers who have submitted material that has been published in this department over the years. To celebrate this milestone, Lancaster and Bentele decided to walk 100 blocks (5 miles) through Manhattan. They started at the corner of East 1st Street and 1st Avenue; seven hours later, they finished at the corner of East 101st Street and 1st Avenue. All along the way they found mathematics. They documented their findings by taking hundreds of photographs, and they discussed mathematical questions related to what they saw during this journey along 1st Avenue.
