Translation - Short Projects
Teaching material
In 2006, I had the opportunity to translate material from Polydron and Crusader Education to Dutch. Polydron is a geometric construction system consisting of triangles and other polygons that can be clicked together. There are many ways these can be used in classrooms. I was asked to translate the corresponding teaching material. Crusader Education makes hand crafted wooden models of both simple and more complex machines, such as the lever, balance, and pendulum. Jantine Bloemhof helped me with both projects.
Papers
The editors of the Nieuw Archief voor Wiskunde sometimes receive papers that they prefer to publish in a different language than the one they are written in. During my time as an editorial assistant, I translated a number of papers, sometimes with the help of an editor.- Wiskunde en turbulentie, by Raoul Robert, Fr→Ned, with Jaap Molenaar (June 2006)
- Galois Theory and Arithmetic, by Laurent Lafforgue, Fr→En (September 2006)
- Foolproof, by Brian Hayes, En→Ned, with Derk Pik (June 2007)
- Forensic Statistics, by Marjan Sjerps, Ned→En (June 2008)
