Alain Schremmer started teaching at Community College of Philadelphia in 1966 because, for him, coming as he did from the French "elite" system, the idea of "open door" was politically correct. Eventually, the AMATYC* Review inflicted his Notes From The Mathematical Underground for close to ten years on its readership and it is now serializing a "proto-text" Schremmer is developing whose aim is to enable students in need of Arithmetic as they enter college to reach Differential Calculus in a finite amount of time. He will soon make it downloadable under a GPL and, in fact, this was his reason for learning LaTeX. www.freemathtexts.org
