| Summary: | This report describes the content of the 115 programs comprising "Square One TV" after two seasons of production, relating that content to the three goals of the series. Appended is a listing of the shows, with complete specification of each segment's content, description, format, length, and other information. The goals and the extent to which they have been met are detailed. Goal 1 was to promote positive attitudes toward, and enthusiasm for, mathematics; 80% of the segments explicitly show mathematics to be a powerful and widely applicable tool, or an aesthetically pleasing subject, or that it can be understood, used, and even invented, by non-specialists. Goal 2 was to encourage the use and application of problem-solving processes; of the 430 problem-solving segments appearing in the 115 shows, almost all address this goal by explicitly illustrating the formulation or treatment of problems. Moreover, 80% model the use of at least one problem-solving heuristic, and almost 50% incorporate the important stage of problem follow-up. Goal 3 was to present sound mathematical content in an interesting, accessible, and meaningful manner; 94% of the segments address this goal by incorporating one or more of the series' seven mathematical areas.
