A case before the New York Court of Appeals turned on exactly what definition of distance should be used - the definition given by Pythagorus, of sqrt(a^2+b^2), or the Manhattan definition, where the distance is measured by the number of blocks one has to travel.
Pythagorus won.

It is well-known that there is no Nobel Prize for mathematics, but some mathematicians have managed to win Nobel Prizes, normally for Economics.
This year's Nobel Prize for Economics has been awarded to Robert Aumann and Thomas Schelling, for their work on game theory.

There have been a few changes in the Editorial Board of the Young Mathematician's Network that we wanted to mention.
Karrolyne Fogel and John Kuchenbrod announced to the Board in January that they were each stepping down. They have served on the YMN Editorial Board for many years: editing the newsletter before the scoop site, organizing panels, and providing insight and feedback in our discussions. We would like to give a big THANK YOU to Karrolyne and John for all they have done!
In other changes, Brian Birgen and Josh Laison have recently joined the YMN Board. Welcome Josh and Brian! We're glad to have you with us!
