From a mistaken portrait of János Bolyai to complex geometry to vortices and fluid flow to mathematics education, we see this month the panorama of mathematical life. Our lives consist of research, teaching, service, and a great variety of scholarship. Learning is what we do, and the Notices supports that effort. --Steven G. Krantz, Editor
