do math (calculus) has passed away from the big C at 79 via slashdot via Kansascity.com
I recommend you read this article that revisits and fills in the gaps left by the movie "Stand and Deliver". I am thrilled that there was someone willing to stand up for Mr Escalante when he needed it to make his program work and it disturbs me that what he worked so hard to build was destroyed after he was encouraged to leave.
So go check him out on wikipedia, read the article from 2002 that revisits Garfield High and the aftermath, and think of what is possible when someone is willing to work to make things happen.
