For my technology class I was asked to complete a StaIR. This stands for Stand-Alone Instructional Resource. This is a resource that a student could use to learn a topic completely independently. It teaches the topic, includes independent practice, and feedback. When asked to do this I wanted to make this for something that could be used within my classroom. I chose to complete a resource for the Pythagorean Theorem. This is a standard that is necessary for all seventh grade students. I will be able to use this to differentiate this in both my Math 7 and Pre-Algebra class

0195385861Differential Equations with Linear Algebra explores the interplay between linear algebra and differential equations by examining fundamental problems in elementary differential equations. With a systems-first approach, the text is accessible to students who have completed multivariable calculus and is appropriate for courses in mathematics, science, and engineering that study systems of differential equations.
Because of its emphasis on linearity, the text opens with an introduction to essential ideas in linear algebra. Motivated by future problems in systems of differential equations, the material on linear algebra introduces such key ideas as systems of algebraic equations, linear combinations, the eigenvalue problem, and bases and dimension of vector spaces. These key concepts maintain a consistent presence throughout the text and provide students with a basic knowledge of linear algebra for use in the study of differential equations.
This text offers an example-driven approach, beginning each chapter with one or two motivating problems that are applied in nature. The authors then develop the mathematics necessary to solve these problems and explore related topics further. Even in more theoretical developments, an example-first style is used to build intuition and understanding before stating or providing general results. Each chapter closes with several substantial projects for further study, many of which are based in applications. Extensive use of figures provides visual demonstration of key ideas while the use of the computer algebra system Maple and Microsoft Excel are presented in detail throughout to provide further perspective and enhance students' use of technology in solving problems. Support for the use of other computer algebra systems is available online.

Teaching Mathematics in the 21st Century. Responding to a Bigger World (page 2)
Even as the utilitarians were urging a reduced mathematics curriculum, others were calling for expansion. World War II had shown Americans a bigger world—a world where Swiss students studied calculus in high school, where scientific breakthroughs were needed, not just to win but to survive. The Commission on Post War Plans called for more, not less, mathematics in education. In 1947 the President's Commission on Higher Education proposed increasing college enrollments drastically for a minimum of 4.6 million by 1960—a change that would require a college-track mathematics curriculum for millions. By the time the Soviet Union launched Sputnik in 1957 and galvanized public opinion for the space race, educators were already experimenting with new mathematics curricula.
The "new math," as it was popularly called, emphasized mathematics structure. Students studied sets, number systems, different number bases, and number sentences. Teachers guided children to discover concepts rather than lecturing about them. While many ideas of the new math had merit, application may have been flawed. Textbooks were often hard to read and overly formal. Many parents complained that they could not understand their children's homework.
In the meantime, the social revolution of the 1960s and 1970s flooded colleges with students—many from backgrounds and groups that traditionally had not attended college. To what extent this new college population affected test scores remains unclear, but between 1963 and 1975 SAT scores declined, leading to several major concerns for the mathematics curriculum in the final decades of the century, including how to:
upgrade the curriculum to match the demands of an increasingly technological society,
balance student needs with the needs of society and of mathematics itself, and
teach the expanded curriculum to all of the students.
There were no easy answers. A back-to-the-basics movement called for a return to traditional mathematics—teacher lectures, drills, and tests. But many argued that traditional approaches had worked for no more than 5% to 15% of the students; what was needed was a challenging mathematics curriculum that prepared every student to think mathematically—to develop the foundations in mathematical reasoning, concepts, and tools needed for advanced mathematics education as well as enlightened living in the age of technology.
The National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) responded with a list of basic skills (1977) and later with "Essential Mathematics for the Twenty-first Century "(1989). NCTM did the same, producing an Agenda for Action in 1980, the first version of the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards in 1989, and now the Standards 2000 document, Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, compiled with the input of thousands of mathematics teachers responding over the World Wide Web. Some major points of consensus between the NCSM and the NCTM recommendations include the following:
that all students benefit from a challenging mathematics curriculum;
that mathematics reasoning and higher-order thinking skills should be integral to the curriculum;
that problem solving should be a priority;
that algebraic thinking, geometry, statistics and probability are essential rather than add-on skills;
that the emphasis in computation should be on meaning and patterns;
that communication of mathematical ideas in a variety of ways (oral, written, symbolic language, everyday language) is critical to the learning process;
that students need opportunities to explore and apply mathematics in hands-on and real-life activities. | 677.169 | 1 |

About the Author
Murray Speigel, Ph.D., was Former Professor and Chairman of the Mathematics Department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Hartford Graduate Center.
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
As an undergraduate physics major, it is necessary to have some sort of mathematical handbook containing tables of integrals, trig identities, differentiation rules, vector identities, etc. As such, I cannot give this book higher praise! While does not contain as many features as the CRC Handbook of Tables and Formulae, or many of the other big famous hardcovers, it makes up for this in many ways. It is compact, lightweight and fits in most bookbags. It contains the tables and rules which will be most used in undergraduate homework problems. Most importantly, it is affordable on a student budget! I carry this with me to study groups and tutoring sessions.
As an undergrad in physics and math, one of the physics professors recommended this book as "the math reference you couldn't live without". Now as a grad student, I'm quickly discovering that she wasn't kidding. It has just about everything you could need. I don't know how much time I've saved from digging through a pile of textbooks to find the appropriate integral or function. Get it. You won't regret it.
PLEASE NOTE: The following review is for "Math Formulas and Tables: Algebra, Trigonometry, Geometry, Linear Algebra, Calculus, Statistics. Tables of Integrals, Identities, Transforms & more. FREE Derivatives in demo (Mobi Study Guides)." Amazon is erroneously cross-posting reviews to the Schaum's Outline book, which is unfortunate, because the Schaum's book is excellent.
MobileReference has awkwardly stitched this book together from Wikipedia content, but it costs nearly the same amount ($10) as the Kindle edition of the Schaum's outline. For the money, I find the Schaum's to be more comprehensive and easier to read.
This is a pretty helpful Schaum's outline, in that most of the mathematical tables and formulas that an undergraduate math student would need are included. Material from geometry, calculus, differential equations, numerical methods, special functions and transforms, and probability and statistics are included. Plus, there are some examples of how to perform some types of calculations. There is even a section on calculating compound interest and the value of an annuity for those students of financial mathematics. Also, it is much easier than lugging around the infamous 2600 page "CRC Handbook of Mathematics and Physics." Of course, there are tradeoffs. This book has mathematical tables and formulas only, there are no physics equations.
Generally, if you are an undergraduate student in math or science, your required textbook will have all of the equations and tables that your instructor would expect you to have committed to memory for exams. Thus I am not sure if it is worth the extra cost to buy this book too. I think this book would be most helpful for someone who is out of school who needs their undergraduate mathematics tables and formulas condensed and in one portable book that can be taken to work and stored at the office, rather than carrying around the dozen or so math texts you used during your undergraduate career. It would also be helpful for someone going to graduate school in math, physics, or engineering who is expected to already know this material and therefore needs a handy reference.
This handbook is a must have for any junior level or higher engineering major or any major that deals with advanced mathematics. It contains detailed and easy to understand charts and tables ranging from College Algebra and Trigonometry to Advanced Calculus and Differential Equations. It is also a must have reference book to anyone needing to access to advanced mathematics formulas. | 677.169 | 1 |

Introduction to discrete mathematics is the branch of mathematics that refers to objects having only distinct and separate values or it can be said that this deals with the countable sets. Graph theory of hyper graphs, coding, the design of blocks, combinatorial and discrete geometry, matrices etc. fields are covered by discrete mathematics.
Basically, while giving discrete mathematics introduction, one cannot get the values on all the points as the function could be defined on some particular values only. But, continuous mathematics shows the combined result of smooth variation.
Congruence and recurrence relation are also a part of discrete mathematics.
To have a better understanding of these topics, the study of algorithms is must. The set of objects in discrete mathematics can have infinite of finite numbers. The removal of the errors is most significant in the discrete mathematics as compared with the continuous mathematics. In computer science, the areas of discrete mathematics are drawn on graph theory and logic. Besides that, in logic, combinatorics, probability, algebra, geometry and in all the sections, discrete mathematics concept is a must. Discrete is just the reverse process of continuous and the subject of engineering, digital signal processing and signal systems are totally based on this concept. Discrete mathematics is a contemporary field of mathematics that is
widely used in business and industry. It is sometimes called the mathematics
of computers.
Discrete Mathematics Definition
Discrete mathematics is the mathematics that deals with discrete objects as the discrete objects are separated from each other. Here, the data can only take certain values. Data is discrete, if there are only a finite number of values possible and occurs in a case where there are only a certain number of values, or when we are counting something.
For example, to obtain taxi license in Las Vegas, a person must pass a written exam regarding different locations in the city. Number of attempts a person takes to attempt the test is an example of discrete data. A person could take it once, twice, and so on. The possible values are 1, 2, 3, ......
Deviation: Difference between the value of an observation and the mean of the population.
Matrices: Rectangular arrays of numbers. Used in algebra, geometry, statistics, and probability, with many applications in science, business, and industry.
Permutation: A rearrangement of the elements in an ordered list S into a one-to-one correspondence with S itself.
Combinatorics: Branch of mathematics concerning the study of finite or countable discrete structures.
Graph: A graph that contains no cycles.
Graph Theory: The study of formal mathematical structures called graphs.
Ratio: A ratio is a relationship between two numbers of the same kind. Usually expressed as A : B.
Proportion: A name given to a statement, when the two ratios are equal. It can be written using a colon, a : b = c : d
Polar coordinates: This is the system of coordinates in which coordinates are defined with the help of angles.
Probability: Branch of mathematics that deals with the likelihood that a particular event will happen in the future. It is expressed as a number between 1 and 0 and can be expressed in fractions, ratios, percentage. | 677.169 | 1 |

Elementary Classical AnalysisThis was my favorite book as an undergraduate student and I've taught from it as a professor. It is an excellent geometric approach to analysis. It can even help students who have difficulty with epsilon delta proofs understand the geometric intuition behind them. The construction of the real line at the beginning is daunting for students who aren't clear about set theory and sequences already but a few supplementary materials can help the students out there (see my webpage notes on real analysis for example). The proofs are hidden which makes it a challenge for students to try prove everything themsleves before peeking at them, but they are available. Just remember to tell your students where they are!
As a student I loved the book because it allowed me to learn everything on the metric space level while allowing students who prefer to stay in Euclidean space to do that. Now I am a metric geometer.

5.0 out of 5 starsvery helpful book31 May 2006
By Manhatã - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I am using this book to teach myself analysis. Because my mathematical background is limited, I cannot assess what the book is missing, or whether alternative methods of presentation would be more insightful. But in terms of clarity and comprehensibility, the book does very well. The authors write very carefully and are not cryptic; the proofs and examples are well-presented, and I rarely feel lost. The book is rigorous but not, let's say, snobbish. I am learning a lot from it.

5.0 out of 5 starsAn excellent introduction to Real Analysis5 April 2004
By Chase Yarbrough - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Marsden and Hoffman have done an admirable job combining clarity and rigor in a book appropriate to the level of an advanced undergrad class at a good university. The organization and tone of the work set it apart from the alternatives. The authors proceed from lesser rigor to greater within each chapter, presenting definitions, theorems, and worked examples before the proofs, which are placed at the end of each chapter. The authors address this somewhat unusual organization in their introduction:
"We decided to retain the format of the first edition, which gives full technical proofs at the end of each chapter but presents some idea of the main point in the text. This seems to have been well-received by the majority of readers... and we still believe that it is a sound pedagogical device for a course like this. It is not meant as a way to shun the proofs; on the contrary it is intended to give to views of the proof: on in the way working mathematicians think about it, (the trade secrets, so to speak), and the other in the way mathematicians write out formal proofs."
Marsden Hoffman is written in a slightly more conversational tone than other rigorous introductions to analysis. However, as a math major at Stanford, I felt like this only made the text more readable.
A side note: Though Marsden and Hoffman do make light of Cantor's quaint, 19th century definition of a set in their intro to set theory, they ultimately do so only to motivate the exposition of a formal, axiomatic view. | 677.169 | 1 |

Elementary Algebra is a work text that covers the traditional topics studied in a modern elementary algebra course. It is intended for students who:
Have no exposure to elementary algebra,
Have had a previously unpleasant experience with elementary algebra, or
Need to review algebraic concepts and techniques.
Use of this book will help the student develop the insight and intuition necessary to master algebraic techniques and manipulative skills. The text is written to promote problem-solving ability so that the student has the maximum opportunity to see that the concepts and techniques are logically based and to be comfortable enough with these concepts to know when and how to use them in subsequent sections, courses, and non-classroom situations. Intuition and understanding are some of the keys to creativity; we believe that the material presented will help make these keys available to the student.
This text can be used in standard lecture or self-paced classes. To help students meet these objectives and to make the study of algebra a pleasant and rewarding experience, Elementary Algebra is organized as follows.
Pedagogical Features
The work text format gives the student space to practice algebraic skills with ready reference to sample problems. The chapters are divided into sections, and each section is a complete treatment of a particular topic, which includes the following features:
Objectives
Each chapter begins with a set of objectives identifying the material to be covered. Each section begins with an overview that repeats the objectives for that particular section. Sections are divided into subsections that correspond to the section objectives, which makes for easier reading.
Sample Sets
Elementary Algebra contains examples that are set off in boxes for easy reference. The examples are referred to as Sample Sets for two reasons:
They serve as a representation to be imitated, which we believe will foster understanding of algebra concepts and provide experience with algebraic techniques.
Sample Sets also serve as a preliminary representation of problem-solving techniques that may be used to solve more general and more complicated problems. The examples have been carefully chosen to illustrate and develop concepts and techniques in the most instructive, easily remembered way. Concepts and techniques preceding the examples are introduced at a level below that normally used in similar texts and are thoroughly explained, assuming little previous knowledge.
Practice Set
A parallel Practice Set follows each Sample Set, which reinforces the concepts just learned. The answers to all Practice Sets are displayed with the question when viewing this content online, or at the end of the chapter in the print version.
Section Exercises
The exercises at the end of each section are graded in terms of difficulty, although they are not grouped into categories. There are an ample number of problems; after working through the exercises, the student will be capable of solving a variety of challenging problems.
The problems are paired so that the odd-numbered problems are equivalent in kind and difficulty to the even-numbered problems. Answers to the odd-numbered problems are provided with the exercise when viewed online, or at the back of the chapter in the print version.
Exercises for Review
This section consists of problems that form a cumulative review of the material covered in the preceding sections of the text and is not limited to material in that chapter. The exercises are keyed by section for easy reference.
Summary of Key Concepts
A summary of the important ideas and formulas used throughout the chapter is included at the end of each chapter. More than just a list of terms, the summary is a valuable tool that reinforces concepts in preparation for the Proficiency Exam at the end of the chapter, as well as future exams. The summary keys each item to the section of the text where it is discussed.
Exercise Supplement
In addition to numerous section exercises, each chapter includes approximately 100 supplemental problems, which are referenced by section. Answers to the odd-numbered problems are included with the problems when viewed online and in the back of the chapter in the print version.
Proficiency Exam
Each chapter ends with a Proficiency Exam that can serve as a chapter review or a chapter evaluation. The proficiency Exam is keyed to sections, which enables the student to refer back to the text for assistance. Answers to all Proficiency Exam problems are included with the exercises when viewed online, or in the back of the chapter in the print version.
Content
The writing style is informal and friendly, offering a no-nonsense, straightforward approach to algebra. We have made a deliberate effort not to write another text that minimizes the use of words because we believe that students can be study algebraic concepts and understand algebraic techniques by using words and symbols rather than symbols alone. It has been our experience that students at the elementary level are not experienced enough with mathematics to understand symbolic explanations alone; they also need to read the explanation.
We have taken great care to present concepts and techniques so they are understandable and easily remembered. After concepts have been developed, students are warned about common pitfalls.
Arithmetic Review
This chapter contains many examples of arithmetic techniques that are used directly or indirectly in algebra. Since the chapter is intended as a review, the problem-solving techniques are presented without being developed. Therefore, no work space is provided, nor does the chapter contain all of the pedagogical features of the text. As a review, this chapter can be assigned at the discretion of the instructor and can also be a valuable reference tool for the student.
Basic Properties of Real Numbers
The symbols, notations, and properties of numbers that form the basis of algebra, as well as exponents and the rules of exponents, are introduced in Basic Properties of Real Numbers. Each property of real numbers and the rules of exponents are expressed both symbolically and literally. Literal explanations are included because symbolic explanations alone may be difficult for a student to interpret.
Basic Operations with Real Numbers
The basic operations with real numbers are presented in this chapter. The concept of absolute value is discussed both geometrically and symbolically. The geometric presentation offers a visual understanding of the meaning of
∣x∣∣x∣ size 12{ lline x rline } {}
Algebraic Expressions and Equations
Operations with algebraic expressions and numerical evaluations are introduced in Algebraic Expressions and Equations. Coefficients are described rather than merely defined. Special binomial products have both literal symbolic explanation and since they occur so frequently in mathematics, we have been careful to help the student remember them. In each example problem, the student is "talked" through the symbolic form.
Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities
In this chapter, the emphasis is on the mechanics of equation solving, which clearly explains how to isolate a variable. The goal is to help the student feel more comfortable with solving applied problems. Ample opportunity is provided for the student to practice translating words to symbols, which is an important part of the "Five-Step Method" of solving applied problems (discussed in (Reference) and (Reference)).
Factoring Polynomials
Factoring is an essential skill for success in algebra and higher level mathematics courses. Therefore, we have taken great care in developing the student's understanding of the factorization process. The technique is consistently illustrated by displaying an empty set of parentheses and describing the thought process used to discover the terms that are to be placed inside the parentheses.
The factoring scheme for special products is presented with both verbal and symbolic descriptions, since not all students can interpret symbolic descriptions alone. Two techniques, the standard "trial and error" method, and the "collect and discard" method (a method similar to the "ac" method), are presented for factoring trinomials with leading coefficients different from 1.
Graphing Linear Equations and Inequalities in One and Two Variables
In this chapter the student is shown how graphs provide information that is not always evident from the equation alone. The chapter begins by establishing the relationship between the variables in an equation, the number of coordinate axes necessary to construct the graph, and the spatial dimension of both the coordinate system and the graph. Interpretation of graphs is also emphasized throughout the chapter, beginning with the plotting of points. The slope formula is fully developed, progressing from verbal phrases to mathematical expressions. The expressions are then formed into an equation by explicitly stating that a ratio is a comparison of two quantities of the same type (e.g., distance, weight, or money). This approach benefits students who take future courses that use graphs to display information.
The student is shown how to graph lines using the intercept method, the table method, and the slope-intercept method, as well as how to distinguish, by inspection, oblique and horizontal/vertical lines.
Rational approachRoots, Radicals, and Square Root Equations
The distinction between the principal square root of the number
xx,
xx, and the secondary square root of the number
xx, xx, is made by explanation and by example. The simplification of
Quadratic Equations
Methods of solving quadratic equations as well as the logic underlying each method are discussed. Factoring, extraction of roots, completing the square, and the quadratic formula are carefully developed. The zero-factor property of real numbers is reintroduced. The chapter also includes graphs of quadratic equations based on the standard parabola,
y=x2y=x2, and applied problems from the areas of manufacturing, population, physics, geometry, mathematics (number and volumes), and astronomy, which are solved using the five-step method.
Systems of Linear Equations
Beginning with the graphical solution of systems, this chapter includes an interpretation of independent, inconsistent, and dependent systems and examples to illustrate the applications for these systems. The substitution method and the addition method of solving a system by elimination are explained, noting when to use each method. The five-step method is again used to illustrate the solutions of value and rate problems (coin and mixture problems), using drawings that correspond to the actual solution | 677.169 | 1 |

Math Course Takes 'Real Life' Approach to Algebra
Educational courseware publisher American Education Corp. is taking a new approach to answering the age-old question, "What does algebra have to do with real life?" The company has announced the release of a new course for its A+nyWhere Learning System program. Algebra I: A Function Approach Part 1 is the first semester segment of a full-year algebra course geared to grades 9 and 10, and, in addition to the fundamental concepts and tools of algebra, the course aims to relate the material to "real life."
Taking the fundamentals and applying them to real-world situations using exercises in relevant scenarios allows students to realize the practical uses of linear and quadratic equations, graphs and coordinates, functions, and other algebraic concepts.
The A+nyWhere program is computer based, so students taking courses like Algebra I can use a number of tools incorporated into the software to aid in their assignments and overall comprehension of the material. These tools include onscreen standard and scientific calculators, pictures and diagrams, video tutorials, exercises, practice exams, and, for upper-level courses, interactive feedback | 677.169 | 1 |
Mathematics
"Today's world is more mathematical than yesterday's, and tomorrow's world will be more mathematical than today's. As computers increase in power, some parts of mathematics become less important while other parts become more important. While arithmetic proficiency may have been 'good enough' for many in the middle of the century, anyone whose mathematical skills are limited to computation has little to offer today's society that is not done better by an expensive machine."

I don't think you will find that a big problem. None of the main ideas of the book require any mathematical knowledge.
Some of the examples are mathematical in nature. For instance, there is about twelve pages in chapter 6 that concerns using an infinite list object to represent a sequence of increasingly accurate approximations to the solution of a certain financial problem. People who have studied calculus will immediately understand the ideas here; people who haven't might understand them anyway, and even if you don't you can always skip those examples; most of them have nothing in particular to do with math.

Book DescriptionEditorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
In today's world of increasingly complex engineering problems, powerful new mathematical and computational methods, and enormous computer capacities, you can get overwhelmed by little things you will only occasionally use. Instead, you need to learn how to think mathematically and gain a firm grasp of the interrelationship among theory, computing, and experiment. That's why Kreyszig's text helps you develop a solid understanding of the basic principles and methods of advanced engineering mathematics in all three phases of problem solving: Modeling, Solving, and Interpreting. This best-selling text is known for its comprehensive coverage, careful and correct mathematics, outstanding exercises, and self-contained chapters.
Key Features
New problem sets.
New Computer Experiments, using the computer as an instrument of "experimental mathematics" for exploration and research.
The first time I came across this book was when I was appointed Teaching Assistant for a course called "Biomathematics" at IIT. At first, I was bit scared looking at the size of this book. As days progressed, I realized the very deep insight it gives for the UG engg students. The practical illustrations complementing the concepts are the highlights of this book.
The 4 star rating is because this book starts with very advanced topics and is not much suitable for self-study. Otherwise, it is a great Math book to have. Highly recommended for any UG/PG student who wants to learn the intricacies of engineering mathematics.
This is a NOT a text book for learning engineering mathematics. Its just way too dry. However, it is the single best reference to have next to you while you are working as a scientist, engineer or (as I have found recently) economist. After you leave University, you aren't going to remember all the various expansions, techniques and log rules. Once you are working, you will have this book on your book shelf.
This is one of the premiere works in engineering mathematics. Not designed to be a formal text in mathematics, the target audience is the engineering student, as the title implies. The text is very well written and there are a variety of additional solution manuals available. This is a very highly recommended text for the engineering student.
It's really sad to know that Professor Kreyszig died unexpectedly on December 12, 2008 during a trip to Europe. Nevertheless, his scientific legacy will remain with us forever. Besides its target audience (i.e., traditional engineers), also I strongly recommend this book to any wannabe financial economist or quant, due to the pedagogical treatment of this book about tons of math concepts and techniques that are bread-and-butter in modern finance (linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, Fourier Transforms, complex analysis, and so forth).The mastery of the material covered in this book is a prerequisite to start the study of stochastic differential equations and other advanced concepts in financial mathematics that are not included in this book.
GOOD: This book is useful if you need a fairly comprehensive reference book covering many mathematical topics in engineering.
BAD: Most topics are treated too superficially to be useful as a primary learning text.
STRANGE TARGET GROUP: If you could only have one math book after you've gone through all your undergraduate engineering courses, this might be a good pick. But that's a silly scenario. Instead, you'll probably be better off with four or five separate books that are focused on their subject.
I don't regret purchasing this text, but I got it very cheap overseas... It's really not worth the current $132 price, in my opinion.
This really is an excellent text that covers all of engineering mathematics and much, much more. It is a superb reference that will in come useful again and again for anyone working at the analytical end of engineering related fields. It is also entirely appropriate for learning material for the first time. There are very many relevant examples and problems to work through and each concept is carefully discussed and placed in context.
Surprisingly, there are number of highly critical reviews about it and I can only conclude these are from people who did not understand what they were buying. The "Advanced" is in the title for a reason. You are expected to have a good knowledge of maths and this should include all basic calculus, so buy it for what it is - an advanced text. Do not expect a coverage of fundamental topics, there are many other good books which cover these.
It's exactly what most 4 and 5 star reviews say it is. The only real issue I have that no other review (not even a 1, 2, or 3 star review) mentions is this. The book doesn't provide notes for conceptual pitfalls that can and will arise when reading it. A good example is the word "vector." There are actually 2 types of vectors mentioned: one from the linear algebra camp, the other from the vector calculus school of thought. These two types of vectors are actually quite different. A vector calculus vector almost always refers back to a 2 or 3 dimensional description of the motion or transmission of mass, energy, waves, and particles in a vertical/horizontal plane or in three-dimensional space; whereas a linear algebra vector more-often-than-not represents an arbitrary set of ordered numbers in a 1XN or NX1 matrix that is simply meaningless as a physical vector.
Very difficult problems, and somewhat difficult to follow at times, but what can you expect from mathematics of this level? Overall, the book was decent, but that could have done more to make it easier to read and use, like including practical examples, which the book lacks almost entirely. | 677.169 | 1 |
MATH OBJECTIVES
Introduction
Math is not a scatter-brained activity! As God is logical and created man to be logical, the brain and soul experience a sense of agitation when encountering disorder. Math, therefore, must be presented with a well thought out method.
Additionally, many math textbooks do not help a student learn a concept well before proceeding on to the next concept. This causes many children to fall behind and give up on math related careers, which God may have originally ordained for them.
(According to a 2011 report by ACT Inc. testing, 55% of the U.S. high school graduates who took the ACT test were not prepared for college level math-WSJ: 11-9-11. Additionally, 15-year-old American students ranked 25th when an international math exam was given to their peers in 34 developed countries. This equates to 24 other countries better educating their students in math than in American-WSJ: 11-29-11.)
Biblical Perspective
Math is a study of Godís order. Discovering and applying Godís mathematical order to life is an important activity for every individual. Math is necessary skill for many areas of study, life, and finances, which mankind can benefit from when used responsibly according to Biblical principles.
The study of math also helps students to understand the magnitude of Godís intelligence. A student who gains this knowledge is better able to trust in His wisdom and guidance.
Method
Math is more understandable when carefully taught. Mrs. Nash's math textbooks are successful at teaching because they:
develop strong calculation skills.
help a student focus and concentrate.
introduce new math concepts in a careful process.
apply to everyday life.
develop mastery by practice.
enhance memory and accuracy.
are Bible-honoring.
reinforce Godly learning and living.
SCIENCE OBJECTIVES
Introduction
Todayís science presents students with many types of study, because scientific knowledge has grown tremendously over the last two centuries. This presents a challenge to prepare students adequately for high school science where they, for the first time, must study a whole year of chemistry, physics, or biology.
Mrs. Nash's middle school science textbook/workbook combinations prepare students not only to feel more at ease with these courses, but also to gain the necessary skills and knowledge for high school science studies. Additionally, her courses are preparatory for careers in many fields, such as engineering, biotechnology, medicine, psychology, chemistry, and physics.
(According to a 2011 report by ACT Inc. testing, 70% of the U.S. high school graduates who took the ACT test were not prepared for college level science. WSJ: 11-9-11)
Biblical Perspective
Science is the study of Godís creation, which He set in motion to function as He ordained and continues to ordain. Therefore, all science studies must help students become better acquainted with God, His ways, and His great mind. They must reveal God's hand and wisdom in all details of the universe. They must help students to come to a deeper understanding of who God is and why science must bow to His majesty. Students must learn to search through Him for all discoveries by asking questions and seeking His answers.
Science must teach students how to incorporate and apply Bible truth to their life and decisions. Science must teach the application of Bible truth and values to all scientific study as well as how Bible verses reveal foundational scientific concepts.
Method
Science is more understandable when carefully taught. Mrs. Nash's science courses are successful at teaching because they: | 677.169 | 1 |

In the previous
section there were some general tips in regards to homework sets as a
whole. Here are some tips to help you
actually work the problems. Note that
some of the ideas were important enough that they are actually in both sections.
Read the Problem. Read the problem to get an idea of what
you're being asked to do. This one
of the biggest sources of point loss that I've seen in grading. Too many students just skim the problem
and assume they know what's going on and what they are being asked to do.
Read the Problem Again. Now that you know what you're being
asked to do, read the problem again.
This time around make note of what you are given and what you need
to find. Also make sure that you
understand just what you're being asked to do.
Clearly Note What You Are Asked to
Find. Clearly write down
somewhere what you're being asked to find.
Clearly Note What You Know. Clearly write down somewhere all the
information you've been given.
Draw a Diagram. If appropriate draw a diagram and label
what you know and what you need to find.
Often diagrams will suggest the solution technique, so it's a good
idea to get into the habit of drawing them.
Devise a Plan. Try to figure out what you're going to
need to work the problem. Identify
formulas that may help you. See if
there are any intermediate steps/answers that will be needed in order to
arrive at the final answer.
Work a Similar Problem. If you can't figure out how to work the
problem find a similar problem that is simpler. Work this then go back and compare what
you did in the simpler problem to the problem you're asked to do.
Work the Plan. Once you've got the plan, work it out to
get the answer.
Check Your Solution. Is the answer in proper form? Does your answer make sense? If possible, plug your answer back into
the original problem as a check.
Go Back Over the Problem. Once you're satisfied that you've got
the correct answer go back over the problem. Identify concepts/methods/formulas that
were used for the problem. Try to
understand why these concepts/methods/formulas were used on this problem.
Look for identifying characteristics that will help you identify this kind
of problem in the future.

Course Description: Students will engage in real world and hands-on problem solving while using their developing skills in algebra. Students will learn new material through animations, videos, reading, manipulatives and guided practice. The topics covered in this course include: real numbers, algebraic expressions, graphing to solve inequalities and absolute value, graphing to solve linear equations, systems of equations, factoring polynomial equations, relations and functions, quadratic equations, radical expressions and rational equations.
Before you take the quiz, either watch the first two videos on this Khan Academy list or spend ten minutes working on the first two exercises, whichever you prefer as your way to review, by listening and watching or by doing. The two topics are combining like terms and combining like terms with distribution. Here are the two exercises: onetwo.
Don't worry about the video on the page or the stuff at the bottom of the page.
Take the quiz. If it says "quiz group" but you don't see the quiz, click on those words and it should appear. Record your quiz score.
Even though you aren't recording scores for these other types of practices, they will still count toward your grade for completing them. They will also help you do better on your quizzes and tests, so I suggest always doing your best. In fact, do ALL things as unto the Lord.
You don't have to become proficient in these, just see if you can figure some of them out, more writing expressions.
Day 16
Remind yourself about inequalities by reading this page and by clicking on next and reading that page, just two pages.
You can draw the graphs on paper or on an online tool (choose -5 to 5).
Answers to the graph problems (open circle on -2 and line to the right; dot or closed circle on five with line to the left)
Take the test at the bottom of the lesson list. Record your score out of 18. (It tells you at the very bottom after you submit.)
Note: This gives you the chance for 2 points of extra credit.
Day 17
Complete all of the parts of this lesson on solving for a specific variable. (You can skip the worked examples if you can get all of the practice problems correct.)
Don't forget the "topic text."
Day 18
Do the Get Ready, Learn (several pages), and Practice parts of this lesson on solving equations.
Whenever you use this site, you have to login (down on the right). The login is easypeasy and allinone .
Day 19
Complete all of the steps of this gas price project. To complete the chart, you need to find gas prices. The link is outdated. Here's the new link.
Record ten points for completing steps 1 through 3 and following all of the directions.
There are three questions in number 4. The first question also asks you to explain. Add two points for each question you answered correctly, including the explanation. (Total 8 points for that section)
This is the end of the first quarter. If you are using a paper version, you will add up 128 for your scores for the first quarter would give you an A so far.
Day 4: Create your poster and present it. Keep in mind that there is a grade for presentation.
This is just a sample schedule. If you need lots of time to write, then you should design your roller coaster on the first day to leave two days for writing. If you don't finish in four days, you will lose lots of points. You will score poorly. You'll also have to finish over the weekend! No getting behind.
Use the rubric to score your project out of 8.
Add 10 points for completing on time.
Add 5 points for your paper having a clear intro, at least three points and a conclusion. Take off a point for each of those things that are missing.
You can print the test or just read the questions online. The answers are in number three. Why shouldn't you look at them? That would be cheating. Cheating is wrong. In school you would get a zero on your test and could be kicked out of school. Cheating is always a temptation when it comes to tests, but God not only sees what you are doing, He promises a way out when there is a temptation. If it's too much of a temptation, print out your test and do it away from the computer. The more you resist temptation the stronger you will become. Don't let sin rule over you like Cain did.
Check your answers when you are done. Number 4 has an error on the answer key. See the explanations for the correct answer.
The SATs are a test you'll take in 11th grade. It is required by colleges. You will need a good score to show the college of your choice that you will be a good student. A good score also shows that you've been learning something and not just home playing video games.
In 10th grade you can take a practice test called the PSATs. Some schools give full scholarships to students who score very high. That could save your parents $100,000! So do your best
When you take the PSATs or SATs, you need to know how to play the game. It's a bit of a game and knowing the rules will help you win.
You get one point for each correct answer. You get zero points for anything left blank. You lose a quarter of a point if you get one wrong. So it's not a good idea to just guess. If you can eliminate at least one answer, then your odds of guessing the right one increase and statistically speaking, it's in your favor to guess. If you can eliminate two or more of the answers, then you really should guess at the answer. Of course it's best to know the answer!
Here's another reason not to cheat. The truth has a way of making itself known. If your PSAT/SAT scores don't match up with your grades, everyone will know something is up. Just copying answers won't help you learn anything and it will eventually show if you aren't learning.
The PSAT and the SAT are also timed tests. You have to stop when time is up. Give it a try.
This is the end of the second quarter. If you are using a paper version, you will add up all of 96 for your scores for the first quarter would give you an A so far.
(*) Take the chapter test. NOTE! On number 6, the second exponent looks like an 8, but it's not. It's a 6. You don't have to print this. You can read it online, but you might want a sample for your portfolio.
Complete this activity from NROC. You will select three rectangular locations to measure. After measuring the length and width of each location, you will use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the length of the diagonal. Then you will measure the actual distance of the diagonal. How accurate were your calculations compared to your measurements.
You can choose something like a table or door. If you have access, why not try a football field or some other larger rectangle. Make sure you are able to measure the diagonal. (You could use string to measure and then measure the string at home.)
Completing the homework for lesson 5 is optional, but advisable. In high school I had a math class where only tests counted. Homework didn't get checked, but I did it every day. Why? If you don't, you won't be prepared when it's time for the test. It may make sense when you are looking at an example in a lesson done for you, but you don't know if you can do it until you try it for yourself. It's smart to complete your homework, check it and fix mistakes to make sure you understand.
The homework is optional, but highly recommended. In fact, you should do it, but I'm trying to train you to make the diligent choice, not the lazy choice. If it's easy, great, you can finish it quickly. Do as much as you need to to make sure you got it.
This is the end of the third quarter. If you are using a paper version, you will add up your scores and divide, your score total/total score. It should be a decimal. Multiply that decimal by 100. That number can be translated into a letter. How are your grades? What do you need to do?
You have 15 minutes to take this test. This is PSAT/SAT practice. Remember, incorrect answers count against you. If you have no idea, skip it. If you can eliminate at least one answer, it's in your best interest to guess.
Get the timer ready and then begin.Your Score equals the total Correct minus one fourth of the number Incorrect. S = C – .25I You can use a calculator to find your score.
Then you will follow the directions for part 2, but you only need to find two people. You can use three people, but you don't have to. Choose an activity. Some ideas are setting the table or cleaning up the legos. There are more ideas on the page. Each person has to do the same activity. You don't need pictures. Record their times.
Solve for rate as directed in part 3.
For part four, have everyone whom you timed in part 2 work together to do the same activity and time yourselves. Calculate your percent error.
Answer the questions in part 5. Compare your results to the result of your equation. State your conclusion.
You will stop at part five and not go beyond that in the directions.
You get two points for each of the five parts that you completed. (up to 10 points)
Day 165
Before we review for the final exam of the course, we are going to have a mini course on probability.
Get the timer ready and then begin.Your Score equals the total Correct minus one fourth of the number Incorrect. S = C – .25I You can use a calculator to find your score.
Record your score out of 15.
Day 171
Choose a project to complete by Day 179. Follow the directions. You won't be working with classmates, but follow the directions in ways that make sense. You will be doing the final presentation project, creating a website, poster, etc. as described in the directions. Present your project to your family/friends at the conclusion. You can send something from your project (link, photo, video) to me to post on the hall of fame if you like!
You are responsible for finishing this on time. Make a plan of action as to when you need to be finished with each portion of the project.
Scoring
You get 10 points for finishing on time.
You get 15 points total for following directions and completing each problem section. Lose 5 points for any section skipped.
Were you able to make yourself clear? Did your audience understand the problem, solution, and why you came to that conclusion? If so, give yourself 15 points. Lose 5 points each if you did not make clear the problem, solution or why.
You get up to 10 points for how nice your project looks. Did you take care to do your best? Have someone else judge!
Day 172
Here is a study packet for your final. You don't have to print it. It is a summary of the lessons from the course. On Day 180 you will be taking a final exam. It has 50 questions. Figure out how many lessons you should look through each day to go through them all by Day 180.
Things you are unsure of, take out a pencil and try the example problem.
You might to read the lesson summaries out loud to help you remember them, or pretend you are teaching the material to someone else.
These are study techniques. In college you will be taking tests. Before the test you will study, review the material, to remind yourself of what you've learned.
Today, study.
Don't forget your project.
Day 173
If you want more videos to go over any specific material, this is a good place to look for them. They are listed as "watch" under the topics on the right under Algebra 1 A and B.
Continue to review the packet of lesson summaries and use the videos as needed.
Record your score out of 30. (I always give you leeway on the timed tests. That won't happen at the real thing. I do it because I don't have an official time guideline to go by and because you haven't learned from the course that the test is from. I didn't teach to test, as they say.)
Day 179
Today you must finish and present your project. Grade it along with your parents. The scoring is detailed in Day 171.
Figure your course grade. Enter on your fourth quarter grading sheet your total score for each quarter. Divide by the total score from all four quarters. That can be your grade, but I also think you can award up to half of the grade for completing the daily assignments. Then you would take the grade you just calculated, divide it in half and add it to 50, or whatever grade you deem appropriate. Example of the scoring calculation:
four quarters total: 126 + 115 + 110 + 233 = 584
dividing by total possible 584/ 669 = .87*100 = 87%
dividing in half for being worth half the grade: 44%
100% completion of daily assignments, readings, homework, etc.
Half of that 100% for being worth half of the final grade: 50%
Final grade would be: 50 + 44 = 94%, A

Hi gals and guys I would really cherish some help with combinations and permutations problems for elementary school on which I'm really stuck. I have this test on math and don't know how to solve conversion of units, factoring expressions and powers . I would sure value your suggestion rather than hiring a math tutor who are pricey.
If you can give details about combinations and permutations problems for elementary school, I could provide help to solve the algebra problem. If you don't want to pay for a math tutor, the next best option would be a proper computer program which can help you to solve the problems. Algebrator is the best I have come across which will explain every step of the solution to any algebra problem that you may copy from your book. You can simply represent as your homework . This Algebrator should be used to learn math rather than for copying answers for assignments.
My parents could not afford my college fees, so I had to work in the evening, after my classes. Solving problems at the end of the day seemed to be impossible for me at those times. A friend introduced Algebrator to me and since then I never had any problem solving my questions.
Thank you, I will check out the suggested program. I have never studied with any software until now, I didn't even know that they exist. But it sure sounds amazing! Where did you find the program? I want to get it as soon as possible, so I have time to prepare for the test.
I remember having often faced problems with absolute values, equation properties and system of equations. A truly great piece of algebra program is Algebrator software. By simply typing in a problem homework a step by step solution would appear by a click on Solve. I have used it through many math classes – Algebra 2, College Algebra and College Algebra. I greatly recommend the program. | 677.169 | 1 |

UMBC's new Math Gym provides students with training in foundational skills.
Previous Profiles:
Pumping Up Their Math Muscles
Coach Sory Kante, moves quickly across the gym. One of his students working out needs help. But what's stumped the student isn't a 220 pound bench press or a complicated yoga move. It's a calculus problem.
Kante is a coach in UMBC's newest type of gym: The Math Gym. One recent evening, dozens of students lined up for the gym, knowing that rather than hitting the treadmill, they'd be tackling a regimen of worksheets and quizzes specifically designed for them. The gym provides students with training in foundational skills, skills they've supposedly already learned, but have now faded into distant memory. And, on this particular night, more than 40 students, working with as many as 7 coaches, spill out of the seminar room and into the corridors of the math department.
Math Gym is the first of the projects funded by the inaugural Hrabowski Fund for Innovation grants to get off the ground. The fund invests in creative faculty initiatives that reimagine our students' learning experiences.
Nagaraj Neerchal, professor and chairman of the department of mathematics and statistics, came up with the idea for Math Gym. "It's something Freeman Hrabowski inspired," he says.
Math Gym is a departure from traditional tutoring in focusing on crucial, yet basic skills—rather than a specific topic that's stumping a student in a current class. "Tutoring is like going to the clinic when you're sick," says Neerchal. "Working in Math Gym is like working out to stay fit so you won't get sick. We need both."
The custom workout begins with QuizZero, a quiz Neerchal and his colleagues designed to test students' understanding of prerequisite material before classes start. It's administered through Blackboard and evaluates students' preparation in the foundational classes, such as algebra, pre-calculus, calculus I and calculus II. Students who score below the median of the class are notified they should brush up on their skills. About 1800 students every semester take the test.
More than half of the freshman entering UMBC each year don't place into pre-calculus. Those that do may be lacking in foundational skills. "Almost all of them have taken algebra in high school," says Neerchal, "they just forget."
The solution, he says: come to Math Gym and get fitted for a "custom workout." Last semester, nearly 800 students whose QuizZero performance indicated they could use a refresher were invited to participate. Of those, over 500 came to Math Gym.
"If students are taking a class, any class," says Neerchal, "and if they are unable to do well in class, it's because they've lost their foundational math skills."
Once a student completes QuizZero, they can come to the Math Gym and have their "workout" customized. The Math Gym coaches and manager have a spreadsheet that they can check to find out what students have to work on. They pass out worksheets and the students are ready for their "workout."
As the semester progresses the gym rats develop their foundational skills and they can begin to move on to working on their current class, says Chris Harris, Math Gym manager.
And Math Gym appears to be working. "This semester, I saw a dramatic increase in student exam grades in applied calculus as compared to last year of approximately twenty points," says instructor Elizabeth Stanwyck. "We are tracking the progress of those students who have come to Math Gym versus those who have not," says Neerchal.
And students say that Math Gym is helping them in their classes. Take Aaron Good, a junior, majoring in physical therapy. Good is taking trigonometry and pre-calculus. "I noticed that my test scores and everything significantly improved," since the opening of Math Gym, he says. Good says that he hopes to make around a B in his class.
Other gym rats, Nnamdi Onyioofor, a senior, and Caleb Zhou, a freshman, are at Math Gym one evening to work on Calculus I. "I've been here for the past week every day," Zhou says.
Professors also offer extra credit for students who regularly go to Math Gym. But Nicole Lentz, a freshman, says it's not just the extra credit that keeps her coming back.
"The people here are really helpful too," she says. "Whenever I have a question they just sit down and help you work it through. They don't just tell you how to get it so it really makes me understand everything a lot better."
What's next for Math Gym? Neerchal and Harris are looking to target a wider range of courses, including those in disciplines beyond mathematics and statistics. They would like to build relationships with other departments and colleges so that students could come to work on math skills relevant for their subjects, such as chemistry, physics and economics. No matter the subject, the underlying math skills are the same.
And the key to mastering them, Neerchal says, "is doing reps. It's all about repetition just like at the gym." | 677.169 | 1 |

Learn about a new book called "calculus without limits" that's going to revolutionize your understanding of calculus. This book uses a plain-English writing style combined with detailed step-by-step problem solutions to show you how to do calculus problems. It might be the only study guide you'll ever need, ending frustration saving time and helping you pass calculus. It's great as a textbook supplement, for college or AP courses, or for self-study.
Let's face it-calculus sucks for a lot of people. Its hard and confusing, and its frustrating. But what if someone would just show you the exact steps required to solve any problem?
Calculus without limits teaches in plain-English. Its an easy to understand problem solving based review of all topics in first year calculus.
Each section features complete step by step solutions of the same problems you'll see on homework and exams. Here's a chapter by chapter breakdown. Each chapter is written in plain-English, with a get-in, get-out approach to explanations, and a focus on showing you solved problems.
Chapter 1 reviews functions and graphing chapter 2 covers computing limits The next two chapters cover differentiation The next chapters are packed with solved integration problems covers definite and indefinite integration integration by u-substitution integration by parts integration using partial fractions trig substitution integration of trig function and powers of trig functions integrating exponentials, natural log, and inverse trig functions then its on to sequences and series learn the basics about sequences and series see how to do convergence tests learn about power and taylor series the final chapter covers ordinary differential equations
So whats it cost? Calculus without limits is $27.Compared to your average calculus book-that can cost more than a hundred dollars, that's dirt cheap.And calculus without limits is available for instant download-you can have it in 30 seconds, read it online or print it out. calculus without limits

Randy Mills with his company "Blacklight Power" has been claiming for years he can generate power by putting hydrogen atoms in a "state below the ground state". As anyone who has studied quantum physics knows, you can't put a hydrogen atom in any energy state lower than the ground state. Its not physically possible and would violate the laws of quantum physics as we know it. Those laws have been repeatedly tested and verified to higher and higher precision over the past hundred+ years, and the theory of quantum mechanics is completely solid, so why should anyone believe this nonsense?
Apparently the goons at CNN don't care about the details of quantum theory. They'd rather get happy about Blacklight power's claim to no CO2 emissions, cheap power, 200 times more powerful than burning gasoline or coal. All based on a pseudo-scientific claim. CNN is supposed to be a news organization so they should have consulted some leading scientists in this report.

Curriculum for Excellence (C.F.E)
This book forms the 2nd half of the Level 2 CfE Course and should
follow on from Book 2a. Together, these 2 books cover the entire
contents of the CfE Level 2 course.
Along with Book 2a, this will prepare pupils to attempt our Level 2 Assessments and our end of Level Diagnostic Assessment.
There are no A and B exercises. The books basically cover the entire Level 2 course without the teacher having to pick and choose which questions to leave out and which exercises are important. They all are!
Unlike Book 2a, it does NOT contain a "Chapter Zero". Instead, every new Chapter is preceded by a Consolidation Exercise, which basically revises all of the previous work covered for the topic in our Book 2a. This means Each Chaper of new work is sandwiched between a Consolidation of former work Exercise and a Revisit-Review-Revise Exercise which consolidates all the work covered.
Non-calculator skills will be emphasised and encouraged throughout the book. | 677.169 | 1 |

Introduction to the Math Readiness Course
Welcome to the electronic version of the Math Readiness
Course, MRC for short.
My name is Keith Taylor, a professor in the Department of Mathematics
and Statistics at the
University of Saskatchewan. I am the director of the MRC project, but many
others have contributed in a variety of ways, see
Credits and Awards.
In this course, we have collected together those topics from arithmetic,
algebra, geometry, and trigonometry that seem to be most frequently used in
university courses which have a high degree of mathematical content. Examples
of such quantitative programs are engineering, physics, chemistry, biology,
economics, business, computer science, statistics, and mathematics.
With mathematics, maybe more than any other subject,
the knowledge is
cumulative. For example, a
skill that was covered in grade 10 algebra may be exactly what
is needed to carry out an interest rate calculation in a
business course at university. Those students who retain the particular skill
and who are able to call on it whenever necessary may find the calculation,
and the whole course, "a snap". Those who cannot rely on the skill when the
need arises will be lost and confused. This same story is repeated in many
different classes.
Our Math Readiness Course is designed to help you refresh those skills. You
cannot expect miracles; mathematics is like gymnastics or playing the piano
in that doing it well requires serious
work and practice. To encourage you, we have provided interactive
tutorials for you to work through after each lesson and you will
occasionally be directed to enter a Virtual Mathematics Laboratory to carry
out experiments with important concepts. Moreover, your learning progress
will be monitored by quizzes.
We urge you to keep in touch with us. Please e-mail us ([email protected]) with
your most perplexing questions, those which you cannot answer yourself after
a reasonable period of thought. You might like to check our FAQ (Frequently
Asked Questions) page; we will post answers to the most common questions
there. As well, you can and should consult with other students via our
discussion board.
We encourage your comments regarding this course. We hope you share
in our excitement about the possibilities for an electronic math course.
Did you know that the MRC is one of the very first internet mathematics
courses to be
offered by any university? We'd like to know what works, what doesn't, and
how you think we can improve the course. You can help us by taking a minute to fill out our survey form.
We wish you every success in your studies.
For those who are in Saskatoon, a "live" version of this course is offered
as a two week camp each summer. For more information,
you can e-mail me at

Elementary Algebra - 3rd edition
Summary: Elementary Algebra is a book for the student. The authors' goal is to help build students' confidence, their understanding and appreciation of math, and their basic skills by presenting an extremely user-friendly text that models a framework in which students can succeed. Unfortunately, students who place into developmental math courses often struggle with math anxiety due to bad experiences in past math courses. Developmental students often have never developed nor ...show moreapplied a study system in mathematics. To address these needs, the authors have framed three goals for Elementary Algebra: 1) reduce math anxiety, 2) teach for understanding, and 3) foster critical thinking and enthusiasm.The authors' writing style is extremely student-friendly. They talk to students in their own language and walk them through the concepts, explaining not only how to do the math, but also why it works and where it comes from, rather than using the "monkey-see, monkey-do" approach that some books take6.0792 +$3.99 s/h

Teaching/Professional Interests:
I divide my teaching equally between mathematics and
computer science. My scholarly interests also cross that gap--with
significant parts of my work involving ways in which the computer
can become a major factor in the teaching of mathematics (and
other disciplines). In particular, I am committed to the idea
that we can learn more easily and surely than at any time in the
past with the vastly richer base of mathematical examples that
the computer affords us. With this new and astonishingly powerful
tool we are freed to experiment and to observe new relationships
and structures. (See information on Software)
Mathematically, right now, I'm working on a set of
problems involving an infinite collection of periodic functions
which arise from the composing of standard periodic functions
in an unconventional way--a project that arose for me from just
the kind of computer experimentation I mentioned above. Students
who have had Math 301 could easily move into working in this area.
Our course, Math
251, Laboratory in Mathematical Experimentation, provides
a chance to expose people to this approach--the approach that
involves students in working through mathematical ideas in an
experimental environment. Rather than following the well-developed
track of definition...theorem...proof..., students are encouraged
to make conjectures on the basis of experimentation using the
computer. They can then use deductive arguments to confirm or
refute these conjectures. This course has made a definite difference
in the quality of our major in mathematics!
I have had a long-time interest in lattice theory and
partially ordered sets, and I have several times taught an advanced-level
course in lattice theory ( MA319
) and have taught a First- and Second-year Tutorial in that as
well.
In computer science, my activities are in the areas
of digital logic and computer graphics. Also, I am very interested
in designing and writing mathematical software, with a particular
emphasis on flexible user interface design. The graphics course
( CS331 )
would be a way of preparing students to work in graphics projects
and software design, and, of course, digital logic ( CS321
) would be a fruitful preparation for continuing in the area of
component design.

Review by:
Michele Zaffalon
on Oct. 11, 2013 :
I was disappointed to see that the ebook contains 6 chapters, of which only one is about sequences and series. The content is badly presented and shallow, there are few exercises, there are no solutions for self-studying. I can hardly believe that this is the level of math education for 16-18 year old.
I give one start because the rating system would not accept zero.

My main area of interest is applied computational mathematics,
computer algebra, experimental mathematics, and pen-based computing. Other interests include discrete
mathematics, analysis of algorithms and automated theorem proving. In area of computer algebra,
I am mostly interested in integration, summation, simplification,
factorization, and computation of various special functions. | 677.169 | 1 |

This course begins with a brief review of what students should already know about linear equations, with a focus on analyzing and explaining the process of solving equations. Students develop a strong foundation in working with linear equations in all forms, and they extend solution techniques to simple equations with exponents. Students then explore functions, including notation, domain and range, multiple representations, and modeling. Through the comparison of linear and exponential functions, students contrast the concepts of additive and multiplicative change. Students then apply what they have learned to linear models of data, analyzing scatterplots and using lines of best fit to apply regression techniques. The course closes with an exploration of rational exponents, quadratic and exponential expressions, and an introduction to non-linear functions, with a heavy emphasis on quadratics. | 677.169 | 1 |
