In August we explore some new mathematical directions. One of these is mathematics and music by a seasoned musician, now a mathematician. Another is directional regularity for real and complex functions. Yet a third is an announcement of the completion of a twelve-year-long project to produce an update of the classic book of special functions by Abramowitz and Stegun. Finally we provide a detailed and intimate memory of the remarkable statistician David Blackwell.--Steven G. Krantz, Editor
