Leia, a seguir, o trecho de uma matéria de Monica Weinberg, publicada na revista Veja, Editora Abril, edição 2397, ano 47, nº 44, de 29 de outubro de 2014, na qual Marcelo Viana, presidente da Sociedade Brasileira de Matemática, apresenta o seu pensamento, de forma crítica, sobre o desenvolvimento das condições de ensino e de pesquisas em matemática, de modo geral e, em particular, no Brasil.
A VITÓRIA DO MÉRITO
NO PANTEÃO
A matemática avançada no Brasil é um bom exemplo de como dá para alcançar a excelência em pouco tempo quando o norte é dado pelo mérito, e não por um discurso igualitarista que acaba nivelando todo mundo em uma zona de mediocridade. Nossa decisão de priorizar a qualidade foi tomada desde os primórdios, nos anos 50, e se preservou intacta graças, entre outras coisas, a uma particularidade que muito favorece a matemática: ela não demanda grandes equipes nem laboratórios para estar na fronteira, mas apenas uma mesa de trabalho, quando muito. É mais blindada, portanto, contra a burocracia, a escassez de dinheiro e a lentidão, que pesam sobre tantos círculos universitários. A matemática brasileira tem hoje relevância na cena mundial porque traz em seu DNA o rigor acadêmico como valor inegociável.
(...)
CONTRA O BICHO-PAPÃO
A matemática é uma matéria sequencial; se o aluno perde uma parte, a segunda vira um pesadelo indecifrável. Também exige do estudante que passe do plano do concreto para o abstrato, o que não é nada trivial. Os países que se saem melhor dominam bem esse processo de convidar o aluno a ir construindo os conceitos, tudo bem planejado, fruto de um trabalho árduo e sob a luz de um currículo - coisa que muitos brasileiros ainda repudiam em nome da diversidade. Não dá nem para pensar em competir com países como Coreia do Sul, China e Japão com os professores que temos hoje. Muitas faculdades deveriam, sim, ser fechadas pelo descalabro de conceder diploma a gente que não aprendeu nem o básico.

A RELAÇÃO PROFESSOR-ALUNO EM SALA DE AULA
(...)
Postura do professor em sala de aula
Todo pessoa que idealiza seguir a carreira da docência deve ter consciência de que somente após a formação, que lhe propiciou um embasamento teórico, e iniciado o exercício da prática propriamente dita, é que ela perceberá qual é de fato a postura em sala de aula.
Para Queluz (1999, p. 15), o professor precisa estar preocupado com o aluno mais do que com o conhecimento a ser transmitido, com suas reações frente a esse conhecimento, com os seus propósitos em termos de ensino e aprendizagem e estar consciente de suas responsabilidades nesse processo.
O professor também deve estar ciente de que, para uma prática inovadora e que dê resultados na aprendizagem de seus alunos, é necessária uma constante reflexão sobre o que e como ensinar, refletindo e percebendo quais os pontos que precisam ser modificados para uma prática de sucesso.
De acordo com Freire (2009, p. 65-66), os alunos emitem juízos de seus professores e os usam como exemplo, sendo assim, o professor deve ter ciência de que deixa sempre uma marca em seus educandos, seja como autoritário, licencioso, competente ou irresponsável, daí a importância de sua postura em sala e na comunidade. Além de ter a tarefa de passar para os alunos as informações que lhes são pertinentes, cumprindo o planejamento e conteúdos, o professor ainda vai se deparar com as exigências de uma conduta ética moral, “a prática docente especificamente humana, é profundamente formadora, por isso, ética. Se não se pode esperar de seus agentes que sejam santos ou anjos, pode-se e deve-se exigir seriedade e retidão” (FREIRE, 2009, p. 65).

SAINT PATRICK'S DAY
Saint Patrick's Day, also known as The Feast of Saint Patrick, is a traditional holiday celebrated every year on March 17th, the day the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick, died.
Patrick, who was born in the fourth century, lived in the British Isles, a land that had been invaded and conquered first by the Romans and then by Germanic tribes. At the age of 16, Patrick was captured and taken as a slave from the British Isles to what is now Ireland. He lived there for several years herding sheep. He was a religious boy, and he prayed that he would someday return to his homeland.
Legend has it that one night while he was praying, a voice told him to escape from the farm, and find a ship that was waiting for him in a harbor two hundred miles aways. Patrick got to the ship, sailed to Europe, and disembarked in what is now probably France. He ---1--- several of the ship's crew through a dangerous forest, praying all the time. Neither Patrick nor any member of his crew was captured. When some of the men were about to die of starvation, wild animals appeared to them to eat. Events such as these appeared to be miracles and gave rise to later legends surrounding Patrick.
Finally finding his way home, Patrick felt that he was called by God to perform an important mission. He believed it was his duty to go back to Ireland and convert the Celtic people to the Christian Religion.
Patrick arrived in England and became a missionary, traveling from village to village and talking about his faith. Once, several members of a tribe approached Patrick and told him that they found it difficult to understand and believe in the Holy Trinity. Patrick thought a moment, then stooped down and picked one of the plentiful shamrocks growing wild around Ireland. “Here are three leaves", he said, “yet it is one plant. Imagine the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit as each of these leaves. Here they are, yet they are one plant." The tribesmen understood, because Patrick had used a familiar object to explain. From that time on, the shamrock has been a revered symbol of Ireland.
There are lots of stories about Patrick. One of them is about him forcing snakes out of the entire country of Ireland. Even though there are many different stories about how he accomplished such a task, it is probably not true. Patrick died on March 17th, and the Irish people set aside the day to mourn. He became the patron saint of Ireland. Mourning turned to commemorating him and celebrating his life.
Because of Saint Patrick, lots of cities around the world with a large population of Irish have parades. Green is one of the national colors of Ireland. Green stripes are painted on the streets where the parade will travel. People wear green shirts, ties, hair ribbons, and hats. There are even pubs which serve green beer on that day.
Saint Patrick's Day was made an official Christian holiday in the early seventeenth century. It is now observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion, the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutheran Church. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. Not only that, but it also celebrates the heritage and culture of the Irish in general.

He was a religious boy, and he prayed that he would someday return to his homeland.
Legend has it that one night while he was praying, a voice told him to escape from the farm, and find a ship that was waiting for him in a harbor two hundred miles aways. Patrick got to the ship, sailed to Europe, and disembarked in what is now probably France. He ---1--- several of the ship's crew through a dangerous forest, praying all the time. Neither Patrick nor any member of his crew was captured. When some of the men were about to die of starvation, wild animals appeared to them to eat. Events such as these appeared to be miracles and gave rise to later legends surrounding Patrick.
Finally finding his way home, Patrick felt that he was called by God to perform an important mission. He believed it was his duty to go back to Ireland and convert the Celtic people to the Christian Religion.
Patrick arrived in England and became a missionary, traveling from village to village and talking about his faith. Once, several members of a tribe approached Patrick and told him that they found it difficult to understand and believe in the Holy Trinity. Patrick thought a moment, then stooped down and picked one of the plentiful shamrocks growing wild around Ireland. “Here are three leaves", he said, “yet it is one plant. Imagine the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit as each of these leaves. Here they are, yet they are one plant." The tribesmen understood, because Patrick had used a familiar object to explain. From that time on, the shamrock has been a revered symbol of Ireland.
There are lots of stories about Patrick. One of them is about him forcing snakes out of the entire country of Ireland. Even though there are many different stories about how he accomplished such a task, it is probably not true. Patrick died on March 17th, and the Irish people set aside the day to mourn. He became the patron saint of Ireland. Mourning turned to commemorating him and celebrating his life.
Because of Saint Patrick, lots of cities around the world with a large population of Irish have parades. Green is one of the national colors of Ireland. Green stripes are painted on the streets where the parade will travel. People wear green shirts, ties, hair ribbons, and hats. There are even pubs which serve green beer on that day.
Saint Patrick's Day was made an official Christian holiday in the early seventeenth century. It is now observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion, the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutheran Church. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. Not only that, but it also celebrates the heritage and culture of the Irish in general.

He became the patron saint of Ireland. Mourning turned to commemorating him and celebrating his life.
Because of Saint Patrick, lots of cities around the world with a large population of Irish have parades. Green is one of the national colors of Ireland. Green stripes are painted on the streets where the parade will travel. People wear green shirts, ties, hair ribbons, and hats. There are even pubs which serve green beer on that day.
Saint Patrick's Day was made an official Christian holiday in the early seventeenth century. It is now observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion, the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutheran Church. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. Not only that, but it also celebrates the heritage and culture of the Irish in general.

SAINT PATRICK'S DAY
Saint Patrick's Day, also known as The Feast of Saint Patrick, is a traditional holiday celebrated every year on March 17th, the day the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick, died.
Patrick, who was born in the fourth century, lived in the British Isles, a land that had been invaded and conquered first by the Romans and then by Germanic tribes. At the age of 16, Patrick was captured and taken as a slave from the British Isles to what is now Ireland. He lived there for several years herding sheep. He was a religious boy, and he prayed that he would someday return to his homeland.
Legend has it that one night while he was praying, a voice told him to escape from the farm, and find a ship that was waiting for him in a harbor two hundred miles aways. Patrick got to the ship, sailed to Europe, and disembarked in what is now probably France. He ---1--- several of the ship's crew through a dangerous forest, praying all the time. Neither Patrick nor any member of his crew was captured. When some of the men were about to die of starvation, wild animals appeared to them to eat. Events such as these appeared to be miracles and gave rise to later legends surrounding Patrick.
Finally finding his way home, Patrick felt that he was called by God to perform an important mission. He believed it was his duty to go back to Ireland and convert the Celtic people to the Christian Religion.
Patrick arrived in England and became a missionary, traveling from village to village and talking about his faith. Once, several members of a tribe approached Patrick and told him that they found it difficult to understand and believe in the Holy Trinity. Patrick thought a moment, then stooped down and picked one of the plentiful shamrocks growing wild around Ireland. “Here are three leaves", he said, “yet it is one plant. Imagine the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit as each of these leaves. Here they are, yet they are one plant." The tribesmen understood, because Patrick had used a familiar object to explain. From that time on, the shamrock has been a revered symbol of Ireland.
There are lots of stories about Patrick. One of them is about him forcing snakes out of the entire country of Ireland. Even though there are many different stories about how he accomplished such a task, it is probably not true. Patrick died on March 17th, and the Irish people set aside the day to mourn.

What if there were no bees?
It's a beautiful day for a picnic, but minutes after you spread a blanket on the grass and
unpack an impressive selection of sandwiches, fruit salad and a show-stopping cherry pie, you
discover an uninvited guest. A bee is making the rounds, buzzing around your head and scaring all
your friends. You're about to swipe at the winged interloper with your shoe, but then think better of
it.
It's a good thing, too, because bee populations are dwindling. Consider these United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) survey results, based on 21.7 percent of the 2.6 million bee
colonies in the United States. During the 2013-2014 winter, more than 23 percent of honeybees in
the managed colonies included in the survey had died. The winter before that was even worse,
when more than 30 percent of the hives died [source: Jones].
And honeybees aren't the only bees at risk. There are more than 20,000 species of bees in
the Hymenoptera order that are crucial to life as we know it [source: Encyclopedia Britannica]. So
what would happen if there were no bees at all?
Bees rely on pollen and nectar from plants for food. The nectar is later transformed into
honey and the pollen is transferred from plant to plant as the bees travel, resulting in crosspollination.
In fact, bees pollinate as much as 70 percent of the planet's top 100 food crops,
including apples, avocadoes, cucumbers, nuts, squash and more [source: Greenpeace].
Many of the diverse flavors and nutritional components in our food are the direct result of
bees at work. And, without the crucial role bees play in agriculture, the world's food supplies would
likely suffer. That's because an estimated one-third of all the food we eat relies on bees to flourish.
Some of the foods we eat simply wouldn't exist without bees. Almonds, for instance, rely entirely
on bees for pollination. In California alone, the almond crop needs 1.4 million bee colonies for
successful pollination [source: USDA].
If there were no bees, our food supply would be less varied and less available. While we
might not go extinct, we would certainly need to find edible alternatives to many of the mainstay
foods we currently enjoy -- particularly those crops dependent on bees for pollination -- and figure
out ways to stave off economic hardship and famine until new cultivation methods could be
developed.
