Abstract
In September 2006, I was at the King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in Saudi Arabia for a workshop on preparing high school students for university. Though Saudi Arabian culture is very different from ours, Saudis have the same problems in getting their students excited about the study of mathematics, and indeed that was the focus of the workshop. The photograph shows me standing inside a particularly fine walkway together with (from left) Hussain Al-Attas, the director of firstyear studies, and Suliman Al-Homidan, the head of the mathematics department. Thinking there must be a good mathematics problem somewhere, I asked my Australian colleague Peter Galbraith to take the photograph.
