Introductory Modeling:
Applications FromAcross The Sciences
Ever wondered what modeling is all about?
What are models and how are they created? What are they used for and how
well do they predict? If you want answers to any of these questions, then
this course is for you! You will see how mathematical expressions (the
model) can be used to describe changes in the world around us. Solving
these models usually requires methods from advanced mathematics courses,
but we will use the software Mathematica to do the necessary computations.
Neither prior knowledge of Mathematica nor Calculus is needed to take this
course. Here are some examples of models that will be discussed: |
MATLAB is a numerical computing environment and programming language, a product of The MathWorks. It is said to be easy to use for matrix manipulation, plotting of functions and data, the implementation of algorithms, the creation of user interfaces, and working with programs written in other languages. Its user base is said to exceed one million. The company website describes applications in a large number of domains including aerospace and defense; biotech, pharmaceutical and medical; computers and office equipment; financial services; and industrial and machinery. The list goes on. As you may well imagine, competitive software abounds and you should seriously examine your specific needs before committing to any product.
MATLAB, short for matrix laboratory, was invented in the late 1970s by Cleve Moler, of the University of New Mexico. He wanted to provide his students with access to some mathematics libraries without having to master the FORTRAN programming language. This product was revamped and commercialized in the mid 1980s.
This software was initially adopted by control design engineers and rapidly spread to many other domains. Current users include universities, engineering schools, and colleges, especially for teaching mathematics subjects such as linear algebra and numerical analysis. Engineers, scientists, and many others are constantly finding new uses for this software and its competitors.

Quick Look: How to Fix Our Math Education
Imagine replacing the sequence of algebra, geometry and calculus with a sequence of finance, data and basic engineering. In the finance course, students would learn the exponential function, use formulas in spreadsheets and study the budgets of people, companies and governments. In the data course, students would gather their own data sets and learn how, in fields as diverse as sports and medicine, larger samples give better estimates of averages. In the basic engineering course, students would learn the workings of engines, sound waves, TV signals and computers. Science and math were originally discovered together, and they are best learned together now |

"The book [of nature] is written in mathematical language, and the symbols are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without whose help it is impossible to comprehend a single word of it; without which one wanders in vain through a dark labyrinth." -- Galileo Galilei
Traditionally, mathematics has been one of the cornerstones upon which the physical sciences have been founded. In modern times, the role of mathematics is ever expanding and extending into most of the areas affecting our daily lives.
Today the increasingly complex problems encountered in such fields as engineering, cryptography, management science, economics, medical science, biology, agriculture, military science, insurance, transportation, and communications (just name a few!) all require the expertise of individuals possessing strong mathematical skills. The proliferation of high speed computers has led to a great demand for people educated in computational mathematics as well as in traditional mathematics. Teachers of mathematics are in strong demand at all the elementary and secondary levels.
The mathematics program at Illinois Wesleyan is designed to equip our graduates with the skills needed to succeed in this diverse job market. Click here to learn how.
The following are the student learning goals for the mathematics curriculum and major.
Goal 2 - Learning how to read mathematics and how to communicate mathematics in verbal and written form, strengthening habits of rigorous logical thought, learning how to construct and test hypotheses and conjectures, and developing the ability to create, evaluate, and write mathematical proofs and arguments. |

Overview
The central question addressed in Foundations for the Future in Mathematics Education is this: What kind of understandings and abilities should be emphasized to decrease mismatches between the narrow band of mathematical understandings and abilities that are emphasized in mathematics classrooms and tests, and those that are needed for success beyond school in the 21st century? This is an urgent question. In fields ranging from aeronautical engineering to agriculture, and from biotechnologies to business administration, outside advisors to future-oriented university programs increasingly emphasize the fact that, beyond school, the nature of problem-solving activities has changed dramatically during the past twenty years, as powerful tools for computation, conceptualization, and communication have led to fundamental changes in the levels and types of mathematical understandings and abilities that are needed for success in such fields.
For K-12 students and teachers, questions about the changing nature of mathematics (and mathematical thinking beyond school) might be rephrased to ask: If the goal is to create a mathematics curriculum that will be adequate to prepare students for informed citizenship-as well as preparing them for career opportunities in learning organizations, in knowledge economies, in an age of increasing globalization-how should traditional conceptions of the 3Rs be extended or reconceived? Overall, this book suggests that it is not enough to simply make incremental changes in the existing curriculum whose traditions developed out of the needs of industrial societies. The authors, beyond simply stating conclusions from their research, use results from it to describepromising directions for a research agenda related to this question.
The volume is organized in three sections: Part I focuses on naturalistic observations aimed at clarifying what kind of "mathematical thinking" people really do when they are engaged in "real life" problem solving or decision making situations beyond school. Part II shifts attention toward changes that have occurred in kinds of elementary-but-powerful mathematical concepts, topics, and tools that have evolved recently-and that could replace past notions of "basics" by providing new foundations for the future. This section also initiates discussions about what it means to "understand" the preceding ideas and abilities. Part III extends these discussions about meaning and understanding-and emphasizes teaching experiments aimed at investigating how instructional activities can be designed to facilitate the development of the preceding ideas and abilities. Foundations for the Future in Mathematics Education is an essential reference for researchers, curriculum developers, assessment experts, and teacher educators across the fields of mathematics and science |
The following is a summary of main duties for some occupations in this unit group:
Mathematicians conduct research to extend mathematical knowledge in traditional areas of mathematics such as algebra, geometry, probability and logic and apply mathematical techniques to the solution of problems in scientific fields such as physical science, engineering, computer science or other fields such as operations research, business or management.
Statisticians conduct research into the mathematical basis of the science of statistics, develop statistical methodology and advise on the practical application of statistical methodology. They also apply statistical theory and methods to provide information in scientific and other fields such as biological and agricultural science, business and economics, physical sciences and engineering, and the social sciences.
Actuaries apply mathematical models to forecast and calculate the probable future costs of insurance and pension benefits. They design life, health, and property insurance policies, and calculate premiums, contributions and benefits for insurance policies, and pension and superannuation plans. They may assist investment fund managers in portfolio asset allocation decisions and risk management. They also use these techniques to provide legal evidence on the value of future earnings |

This book displays a unique combination of lightness and rigor, leavened with the right dose of humor. When I used it for a course, students could not get enough, and I have been recommending independent study from it to students wishing to take a core course in analysis without having taken the prerequisite course. The material is very well chosen and arranged, and teaching from Liebeck's book has in many different ways been among my most rewarding teaching experiences during the last decades. —Boris Hasselblatt, Tufts University, Medford, Massachusetts, USA
In addition to preparing students to go on in mathematics, it is also a wonderful choice for a student who will not necessarily go on in mathematics but wants a gentle but fascinating introduction into the culture of mathematics. … This book will give a student the understanding to go on in further courses in abstract algebra and analysis. The notion of a proof will no longer be foreign, but also mathematics will not be viewed as some abstract black box. At the very least, the student will have an appreciation of mathematics. As usual, Liebeck's writing style is clear and easy to read. This is a book that could be read by a student on his or her own. There is a wide selection of problems ranging from routine to quite challenging. —From the Foreword by Robert Guralnick, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA

About the Author
Martin Liebeck is a professor and head of the Pure Mathematics Section in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London. He earned his B.A., M.Sc., and D.Phil. in mathematics from the University of Oxford. Dr. Liebeck has published over 100 research articles and seven books. His research interests encompass algebraic groups, finite simple groups, probabilistic group theory, permutation groups, and algebraic combinatorics.
Now in an updated and expanded third edition, "A Concise Introduction To Pure Mathematics" by Martin Liebeck provides an informed and informative presentation into a representative selection of fundamental ideas in mathematics including the theory of solving cubic equations, the use of Euler's formula to study the five Platonic solids, the use of prime numbers to encode and decode secret information, the theory of how to compare the sizes of two infinite sets, the limits of sequences and continuous functions, the use of the intermediate value theorem to prove the existence of nth roots, and so much more. Of special note is the inclusion of solutions to all of the odd-numbered exercises. An ideal, accessible, elegant, 'student friendly', and highly recommended choice for classroom textbooks for highschool and college level mathematics curriculums, "A Concise Introduction To Pure Mathematics" is further enhanced with a selective bibliography, and index of symbols, and a comprehensive index.
I have not yet finished the book. However, so far every chapter introduces and reviews a familiar concept, and gradually takes it to a whole new level. A lot of the book deals with proofs, starting with simple statements and using those proofs to go further in depth. There is a wonderful bit of humor in each lesson, and a lot of the questions at the end of each chapter are really thought-provoking (answers are only given to odd numbered problems). Although this probably sounds a bit cheesy, this book has already given me a greater appreciation of the beauties and wonders of math.
The book is suitable to bridge the gap between A-Level & University Math, and it goes further to 1st year Math course. The content is light but covers just enough in depth, without too much materials to digest. Excellent book for revision in Modern Math or introduction to non-Mathematicians. |

This book fills a gap in the linear programming literature, by explaining the steps that are illustrated but not always fully explained in every elementary operations book '" the steps that lead from the elementary and intuitive graphical method of solution to the more advanced simplex tableau method.Most of the world, even those technically trained, can get along very well by seeing a few illustrations of simple linear programming problems solved graphically, followed by instruction in the use of computer software for solving real-world problems. But there needs to be a coterie of initiates who understand the process well enough to explain it to others, to know what the pitfalls,More... ramifications and special cases are, and to provide further developments. I have used an informal narrative style with a number of worked out examples and detailed explanations, to put the topic within reach |

Semester Exams…………..10% of semester grade
***ASSSIGNMENTS WILL BE GRADED FOR MASTERY***
Make-Up Work:
All make-up work is due within 3 days of an absence. It is the students' responsibility to
get all make-up work from ParentLink or my.CCSD.net. Missed quizzes and tests must also
be made-up within 3 days of an absence before or after school Monday through Thursday.
Missing Assignments:
Missing assignments is different from make-up work. A student only has make-up work
when he or she is absent from class. Missing work is when a student is in attendance, but
chooses not to do the work. In math, as with other subjects, assignments are an integral part
of the learning experience. In order to master skills and concepts, students must complete
daily assignments. Missing assignments will be noted on ParentLink. Remember that you are
able to complete them until mastery is achieved. However, no late assignments will be
accepted after the chapter test.
Grade Notification:
It is highly recommended that you and your child check your child's grade on ParentLink
daily. Daily upgraded grades are available on the Internet at the following website:
schofieldms.org and click on the ParentLink
ParentLink: This school Internet site provides parent/guardian/student online access to
student grades, attendance. You must activate your personal access code by contacting the
counseling office at 799-2290, ext. 4300. Using any computer with your favorite browser, you
can log onto the website at and click on the ParentLink.
my.CCSD.net: This online access allows you to view assignments, announcements and the use
of tutoring resources.
Classroom and Behavior Expectations:
In order to maintain a learning atmosphere, I expect my students to conduct themselves in a
RESPECTFUL, RESPONSIBLE, AND COURTEOUS way. The following classroom
rules will help ensure that this learning atmosphere is preserved.
The attendance, tardy, discipline and dress code policies at Schofield Middle School and
the Clark County School District will be strictly enforced.
The teacher will dismiss you at the end of class (not the bell).
Eating, drinking, and grooming are not allowed in the classroom.
One emergency pass will be given to each student. Use the restroom between classes
because you only get one emergency pass!
Listen carefully to the instructor and your classmates. Do not talk while the teacher is
talking. Be ready to ask questions, but do not interrupt.
Keep the room neat. Do not write on the desks or walls, and throw away all your trash on
the way out the door.
Always come to class prepared with pencils and paper.
All students have the right to learn in a pleasant quiet environment. Remember that
disruptions and behavior will be dealt with appropriately.
Respect the rights of others! This means keeping your hands restricted to your own
person and belongings.
Students are to be in their seats working and not talking when the bell rings or they will
be marked tardy.
Notes should be taken as instructed. You need them to help you complete assignments
and to study for tests.
Appropriate behavior is expected at all times:
o Attentive at all times.
o Sitting up straight when instructor is talking & teaching.
o Taking notes and participating in classroom discussions.
o Staying on task when assignments are given.
o Coming prepared to class.
Discipline Plan:
I have in place a progressive discipline plan for infractions of classroom expectations. Keep in
mind that students will be sent directly to the Dean for severe infractions of the discipline Plan.
The Discipline Plan is as follows:
1. Verbal Warning by Teacher
2. Phone Call Home
3. Phone Call to Parents/Parent Letter or Conference
4. Student is referred to the Dean

CODE OF HONOR
Nevada Department of Education
There is a clear expectation that all students will perform academic tasks with honor and integrity, with the support of
parents, staff, faculty, administration, and the community. The learning process requires students to think, process,
organize and create their own ideas. Throughout this process, students gain knowledge, self-respect, and ownership
in the work that they do. These qualities provide a solid foundation for life skills, impacting people positively
throughout their lives. Cheating and plagiarism violate the fundamental learning process and compromise personal
integrity and one's honor. Students demonstrate academic honesty and integrity by not cheating, plagiarizing or
using information unethically in any way.
What is cheating?
Cheating or academic dishonesty can take many forms, but always involves the improper taking of
information from and/or giving of information to another student, individual, or other source. Examples of
cheating can include, but are not limited to:
Taking or copying answers on an examination or any other assignment from another student
or other source
Giving answers on an examination or any other assignment to another student
Copying assignments that are turned in as original work
Collaborating on exams, assignments, papers, and/or projects without specific teacher permission
Allowing others to do the research or writing for an assigned paper
Using unauthorized electronic devices
Falsifying data or lab results, including changing grades electronically
What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism is a common form of cheating or academic dishonesty in the school setting. It is representing
another person's works or ideas as your own without giving credit to the proper source and submitting it for
any purpose. Examples of plagiarism can include, but are not limited to:
Submitting someone else's work, such as published sources in part or whole, as your own without
giving credit to the source
Turning in purchased papers or papers from the Internet written by someone else
Representing another person's artistic or scholarly works such as musical compositions, computer
programs, photographs, drawings, or paintings as your own
Helping others plagiarize by giving them your work
All stakeholders have a responsibility in maintaining academic honesty. Educators must provide the tools and teach
the concepts that afford students the knowledge to understand the characteristics of cheating and plagiarism.
Parents must support their students in making good decisions relative to completing coursework assignments and
taking exams. Students must produce work that is theirs alone, recognizing the importance of thinking for
themselves and learning independently, when that is the nature of the assignment. Adhering to the Code of Honor
for the purposes of academic honesty promotes an essential skill that goes beyond the school environment. Honesty
and integrity are useful and valuable traits impacting one's life.
Questions or concerns regarding the consequences associated with a violation of the Code of Honor may be directed
towards your child's school administration and/or the school district.

OPENING THE LINES FOR PARENT COMMUNICATION
The commitment of parents/guardians to the education of their children is critical to every success as schools work diligently to meet the diverse
learning needs of the Clark County School District student population. Parents often desire contact with various offices or personnel to express
views, concerns, and questions; this process can seem difficult. To assist parents in this regard, some simple tips and guidelines have been
developed. If the concern is a:
Classroom Issue……………. Contact the teacher and allow 24 hours for a return call.
School Issue………………... Secondary parents should contact the school administrator responsible for your area of concern.
This may be a dean of students or assistant principal. Elementary parents should contact the main
office and either the assistant principal or principal will respond. Please remember that a school
administrator's day is unpredictable and allow him/her to respond to your call within 24 hours.
Area Issue……………….. Contact the Area office responsible for your area of concern:
Area 1: 799-1719
Area 2: 799-0880
Area 3: 799-2640
Area 4: 799-6620
Superintendent's Schools: 799-1222
Education Services Division: 855-9765
District Issue……………….. Contact the office of the Deputy Superintendent of Instruction at 799-5475.
Parent Advisory Committee Meetings:
Each Clark County school schedules regular parent advisory meetings. These are productive forums in which parents can express views and
learn of various opportunities to participate in the educational process of their children. Please call the office manager of your school for dates,
times, and locations. In addition, each Area extends an invitation to attend the Area PAC meetings. Please contact your Area office for
details regarding dates, times and locations for these meetings.
Electronic Communication:
Helpful information regarding the Clark County School District and its schools can be found at The available links provide
detailed information on all aspects of CCSD. Many links include options to email questions and concerns to district personnel. Parents are also
encouraged to call their school to inquire about access to the ParentLink database for up-to-date information on their child's progress
(grades, attendance, behavior).
Public Concern Forms:

About this site
This website is a collection of the math and science "notes" I've used in my high school classes over the years, a sort of electronic textbook to take the place of a lot of textbooks I don't like, and that are, in my opinion, too big and heavy for my students to tote around anyway. In translating my written notes to this website, I've tried to fill in some gaps, but in the process I've identified a few more. I'll try to fill in as I go. I haven't yet included all of the problem sets and solutions I'd like, nor have I put up some video and other widgets that I and my students have found helpful. As of November 2013, the site contains 80 html pages. It's a work in progress.
I create the vast majority of the drawings and animations on this site, and it's hard work. I'll strive to respect your intellectual property rights, and I ask you to respect mine.
If you've got any suggestions for how to make this site work better for high school math and science students, please let me know.
My teaching philosophy
I love math and science. They provide me with a way of making connections between seemingly disparate phenomena. They show me that things everywhere are more the same than they are different (just like people), and to the extent that we can make connections, we can understand a lot about the world around us - what it is and what it might become. Using every means I can think of, I try to pass that wonder and ability to my students.
In high school, we try to move beyond an algorithmic approach to math and science, and ask open-ended questions, or questions for which there may be many paths to a solution, and no one, clear starting point. I try to move my students beyond formulas to thinking about what's actually being modeled. I try to encourage them to take risks, even in a world that, for them, increasingly penalizes the failure that is the very foundation of learning.
Albert Einstein once said of math (and I think it's equally true of the sciences), "Pure mathematics is, in its own way, the poetry of logical ideas." I think that Einstein, a thinker if there ever was one, would agree that math and science are of no value as tools in society if they aren't wielded by people trained to be ethical, moral citizens. Therefore I support liberal arts education in equal partnership with science, technology, engineering and math. Math and science, poetry, fine arts and music are all more the same than they are different, but only the arts and humanities show us how to balance the tension between technological progress and maintaining a just society. |

Life as a bank robber never did sit quite right with Tom Fargo, so he cuts loose from his gang to start over. But when he runs into the new marshal of Caldwell, Kansas, it's kill or be killed. Seeing his chance to have a new start, Tom assumes the dead marshal's identity--only to face his old gang from the other side of the law. [via]
The "MSM Mathematics" series offers an integrated and comprehensive assessment for GCSE mathematics. It provides a one-book-per-year mathematics course. There are worked examples and numerous graded exercises. The maths is set in the context of everyday life, involving investigations and project work, to provide approaches to all kinds of mathematical problem solving. The writing team has organized the mathematics covered by the National Curriculum into a series of topic-based sections within each book. Mathematical knowledge and skills are developed in line with current practice in maths teaching. The "MSM" series comprises course books at all levels. Books 1 and 2 provide maths for all abilities at Key Stage 3. Students of average ability can continue with the "x" series - books 3x, 4x and 5x. The "w" series provides support for students having difficulty with the maths covered in the books 1, 2, 3x-5x. The material in the "w" books is organized in the same sequence as the main course, but concentrates on the development of basic concepts for those students experiencing difficulties. The "y" series caters for more able students, providing maths for top grades of GCSE and preparation for Sixth-Form work leading up to Levels 9-10 at Key Stage 4. [via] |
Maths geeks, I am having a very difficult time with my math prep on Algebra 1. I was of the opinion that this would be very simple and hence didn't care to check till now. When I sat down to solve the questions today, I found it to be really challenging. Can any one guide me by providing information on the existing software that can help me with brushing up my fundamentals on , topic-kwds and topic-kwds.
How about giving a little more information of what exactly is your trouble with polynomial worksheets add, subtract, multiply, and divide? This would aid in finding out ways to search for a solution. Finding a tutor these days fast enough and that too at a price tag that you can meet can be a wearisome task. On the other hand, these days there are programs that are offered to help you with your math problems. All you have to do is to choose the most suited one. With just a click the right answer pops up. Not only this, it hand-holds you to arriving at the answer. This way you also get to learn to get at the correct answer.
I allow my son to use that software Algebrator because I think it can significantly assist him in his algebra problems. It's been a long time since they first used that program and it did not only help him short-term but I noticed it helped in improving his solving capabilities. The software helped him how to solve rather than helped them just to answer. It's great!
Algebrator is the program that I have used through several math classes - College Algebra, Algebra 2 and College Algebra. It is a truly a great piece of math software. I remember of going through difficulties with gcf, subtracting fractions and least common measure. I would simply type in a problem homework, click on Solve – and step by step solution to my algebra homework. I highly recommend the program. |

For many college students, the math requirement is the single biggest obstacle standing between them and their cap and gown. Believe it or not, some students take the same math course two or three times and by the end of their ordeal have just barely passed. It doesn't have to be this way. College math is easily manageable and might even turn out to be fun if you follow our 10 tips for acing the math requirement:
1. Get in—and stay in—the right level. Colleges often have several levels of calculus and up to five versions of algebra. Select carefully to avoid taking classes that are too hard (or too easy) for your level of ability and training. Double-check after the first test, and switch classes then if necessary. Why torture yourself if you're never going to able to master delta-epsilon proofs?
2. Take the credit. If you have AP math credits, use 'em. Your first-year adviser or a representative from the math department can tell you what college credit(s) you've earned and what course you should enroll in if you want to continue your study of math.
Extra Pointer: Be sure to figure out if you've taken the Calculus AB or the Calculus BC course. And if you're lucky enough to have taken the new Statistics AP course, be sure to put in a claim for that, too.
3. Do every single homework problem. In other subjects, homework might not be so critical: If you do it, that's great, and if you blow it off, well that's OK, too. But in math, it's supercritical. Doing the homework problems is the way you learn math. Not to mention, the way you learn how to do the various kinds of problems that will be on the tests. And you'll understand the lecture better if you do the problems when they're assigned.
4. Always have a strategy. Never go at math problems with a sledgehammer. Start by figuring out what type of problem you're dealing with, and consider various strategies for solving this sort of problem. Then select the strategy you think is most appropriate or promising. Never wildly lunge at a strategy that's totally inappropriate for the task at hand. You can waste tremendous amounts of time going down blind alleys if you don't think before you do.
5. Be ultraneat. In all your math work—be it your class notes, homework, or tests—be obsessive about neatness. A 5 that looks like a 6 or an x that looks like ay will mess you up like you can't believe.
6. Get down the intermediate steps. Some instructors are careful to write down every step of a problem as they are doing it in class. Other professors (like the ones who are teaching this course for the hundred-and-eighth time) aren't so fastidious. In either case, you should be sure to write into your notes all the steps, because later on—when you're doing your homework or studying for tests—it's likely you won't remember the missing steps if they're not already in your notes.
In Our Humble Opinion: Many students complain that they can't understand what their non-native-speaking TA is saying. Many of these complaints are unfounded. But if you really can't understand your TA's or professor's English, we recommend you go to an office hour and engage him or her in basic conversation (not technical math talk). Often, once you've had an ordinary conversation, you'll get used to your teacher's accent, which will make the classes go a whole lot easier.
5-Star Tip: If you still can't understand your TA's English, change to another section. Can't learn if you can't understand.
7. Pinpoint your sticking points. When you get stuck on a problem, don't just throw up your hands in disgust and announce you're clueless. Figure out exactly where you got stuck—and for what reason (Was there a theorem you didn't know? Were you missing a concept? Did you fail to consider an alternative?). Then go for help (more on that soon). The help will be much more effective, and your helper will be much more motivated, if you can locate your exact problem rather than just reporting your veil of confusion.
8. Join a group. Study groups are especially valuable in problem-solving courses like math. We recommend you join a study group that meets on the days between class meetings, say three times a week—or at least once a week. Even if you're a math whiz, you can benefit from teaching your less gifted friends how to do the problems or proofs: Making challenging material clear to others is one of the best ways of getting your mind around difficult concepts and strategies.
Extra Pointer: If your TA is holding a group office hour or review session before a test, be absolutely, positively, 100 percent sure to go. When TAs have the test-questions in mind, they are most likely to drop hints about what's going to be asked.
9. Test yourself. In every math course, there inevitably comes the time when you're tested on how well you've taken in the stuff. By far, the best way to study for math tests is to prepare a test for yourself and take it under test conditions. No looking at the book. No looking at the answers. Under strict time limits. You'll see very quickly what you know—and what you don't.
4-Star Tip: Most textbooks have extra problems in the back, with answers provided for at least half of them, usually the odd-numbered ones. These would make great choices for your practice tests. Also, some professors give sample problems or copies of previous tests before the exam: Don't squander this important resource by "looking over" the problems before your self-test.
10. Think about tutoring. If you're really having difficulty in your math class, you might want to find a tutor. Sometimes a TA who has previously taught the course is available; sometimes an upperclassperson can help you out; and sometimes the on-campus learning center or math lab has trained people to help you. Just be sure the tutor is both good at math and familiar with the particular course (and in the best case, instructor) you're taking. And be sure to bring the textbook, your class notes, the problems you've done, and most important, any info about the tests, to each of the meetings with your tutor. |

Math instructors promoting calculator usage in college classrooms may want to rethink their teaching strategies, says Samuel King, postdoctoral student in the University of Pittsburgh's Learning Research & Development Center. King has proposed the need for further research regarding calculators' role in the classroom after conducting a limited study with undergraduate engineering students published in the British Journal of Educational Technology.
"We really can't assume that calculators are helping students," said King. "The goal is to understand the core concepts during the lecture. What we found is that use of calculators isn't necessarily helping in that regard."
Together with Carol Robinson, coauthor and director of the Mathematics Education Centre at Loughborough University in England, King examined whether the inherent characteristics of the mathematics questions presented to students facilitated a deep or surface approach to learning. Using a limited sample size, they interviewed 10 second-year undergraduate students enrolled in a competitive engineering program. The students were given a number of mathematical questions related to sine waves—a mathematical function that describes a smooth repetitive oscillation—and were allowed to use calculators to answer them. More than half of the students adopted the option of using the calculators to solve the problem.
"Instead of being able to accurately represent or visualize a sine wave, these students adopted a trial-and-error method by entering values into a calculator to determine which of the four answers provided was correct," said King. "It was apparent that the students who adopted this approach had limited understanding of the concept, as none of them attempted to sketch the sine wave after they worked out one or two values."
After completing the problems, the students were interviewed about their process. A student who had used a calculator noted that she struggled with the answer because she couldn't remember the "rules" regarding sine and it was "easier" to use a calculator. In contrast, a student who did not use a calculator was asked why someone might have a problem answering this question. The student said he didn't see a reason for a problem. However, he noted that one may have trouble visualizing a sine wave if he/she is told not to use a calculator.
"The limited evidence we collected about the largely procedural use of calculators as a substitute for the mathematical thinking presented indicates that there might be a need to rethink how and when calculators may be used in classes—especially at the undergraduate level," said King. "Are these tools really helping to prepare students or are the students using the tools as a way to bypass information that is difficult to understand? Our evidence suggests the latter, and we encourage more research be done in this area."
King also suggests that relevant research should be done investigating the correlation between how and why students use calculators to evaluate the types of learning approaches that students adopt toward problem solving in mathematics |

stupid - dad taught maths at uni - I just never found maths all that interesting. I do calculations in my head (I 'see' the answers) and can write out all the workings out if I want/need to. So I won't be asking London uni for my fees back just now.
I didn't say anyone was stupid nicename. But it's not a great indicator of the quality of school maths teaching - or even university teaching in your case. Clearly whoever said this stuff was largely being learned by rote was right - and that's truly a waste of everyone's time.
Oh do get off your high horse! I have 2.5 degrees (stats and economics being big parts of two of them) and 2 postgrads and have a crap grasp of maths (not great since I have super-maths brains in the family).
Oh my. I'm really shocked by how many educated people think this is hard. It's rather worrying if someone with A-level maths can't do this easily. I thought this kind of algebra was a 'once seen - and understood - never really forgotten' kind of skill. Otherwise there really isn't much point.

Math Crosswalk - High School: Number & Quantity
The Real Number System
N-VM.1. Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents. For example, we define 51/3 to be the cube root of 5 because we want (51/3)3 = 5(1/3)3 to hold, so (51/3)3 must equal 5.
N-VM.2. Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using the properties of exponents.
N-VM.3. Explain why the sum or product of two rational numbers is rational; that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational; and that the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is irrational.
Quantities
N-Q.1. Use units as a way to understand problems and to guide the solution of multi-step problems; choose and interpret units consistently in formulas; choose and interpret the scale and the origin in graphs and data displays.
N-Q.2. Define appropriate quantities for the purpose of descriptive modeling.
N-Q.3. Choose a level of accuracy appropriate to limitations on measurement when reporting quantities.
The Complex Number System
N-CN.1. Know there is a complex number i such that i2 = –1, and every complex number has the form a + bi with a and b real.
N-CN.2. Use the relation i2 = –1 and the commutative, associative, and distributive properties to add, subtract, and multiply complex numbers.
N-CN.3. (+) Find the conjugate of a complex number; use conjugates to find moduli and quotients of complex numbers.
N-CN.4. (+) Represent complex numbers on the complex plane in rectangular and polar form (including real and imaginary numbers), and explain why the rectangular and polar forms of a given complex number represent the same number.
Vector & Matrix Quantities
N-VM.1.N-VM.2. (+) Find the components of a vector by subtracting the coordinates of an initial point from the coordinates of a terminal point.
N-VM.3. (+) Solve problems involving velocity and other quantities that can be represented by vectors.
N-VM.4.a. (+) Add and subtract vectors: Add vectors end-to-end, component-wise, and by the parallelogram rule. Understand that the magnitude of a sum of two vectors is typically not the sum of the magnitudes.
N-VM.4.b. (+) Add and subtract vectors: Given two vectors in magnitude and direction form, determine the magnitude and direction of their sum.
N-VM.4.c. (+) Add and subtract vectors: Understand vector subtraction v – w as v + (–w), where –w is the additive inverse of w, with the same magnitude as w and pointing in the opposite direction. Represent vector subtraction graphically by connecting the tips in the appropriate order, and perform vector subtraction component-wise.
N-VM.5.b. (+) Multiply a vector by a scalar: Compute the magnitude of a scalar multiple cv using ||cv|| = |c|v. Compute the direction of cv knowing that when |c|v ≠ 0, the direction of cv is either along v (for c > 0) or against v (for c < 0).
N-VM.6. (+) Use matrices to represent and manipulate data, e.g., to represent payoffs or incidence relationships in a network.
N-VM.7. (+) Multiply matrices by scalars to produce new matrices, e.g., as when all of the payoffs in a game are doubled.
N-VM.9. (+) Understand that, unlike multiplication of numbers, matrix multiplication for square matrices is not a commutative operation, but still satisfies the associative and distributive properties.
N-VM.10.
N-VM.11. (+) Multiply a vector (regarded as a matrix with one column) by a matrix of suitable dimensions to produce another vector. Work with matrices as transformations of vectors.
N-VM.12. (+) Work with 2 × 2 matrices as a transformations of the plane, and interpret the absolute value of the determinant in terms of area. |

Abstract
This paper describes the recent development of hand-held algebraic calculators and evaluates their significance for secondary education. Sophisticated computer algebra systems (CAS) have been available to mathematicians for some years now but have been too powerful, too sophisticated and too expensive and have required too much access to powerful computers to have had much impact on teaching and learning elementary algebra and calculus. Unlike CAS, algebraic calculators have been developed to meet the needs mathematics students rather than those of mathematicians, scientists and engineers. Access to an algebraic calculator will allow students to deal with all of the symbolic manipulation demands of the conventional secondary school algebra and calculus curriculum. The implications of such access for the mathematics curriculum, teaching methods, assessment and the professional development of teachers are discussed in the paper. Alternative ways of regulating access to and controlling the use of algebraic calculators are discussed, together with the desirability of doing so. Parallels are drawn between the significance of the algebraic calculator for the secondary school and of the arithmetic calculator for the elementary school. |

From the Publisher: Finance is a topic that requires much computation, and in today's business world that computation is almost entirely done using Microsoft Excel. Despite this, existing finance textbooks continue to rely heavily on hand calculators, and business school students-whose background in Excel is often weak when they come into finance courses-find that when they leave the academic environment they have to relearn both finance and Excel.
The second edition of Principles of Finance with Excel comprehensively integrates Excel into the teaching of finance. It covers the same topics that standard financial textbooks cover, including portfolios, capital asset pricing models, stock and bond valuation, capital structure and dividend policy, and option pricing, and thus can be used in any introductory course. However, it also comprehensively introduces Excel as it applies to finance students and practitioners, including features like graphs, function data tables, dates in Excel, Goal Seek and Solver, and data manipulation.
Simon Benninga, perhaps the most recognizable name in financial modeling, and author of an extremely successful modeling textbook, shows students how a spreadsheet can provide new and deeper insights into financial decision making. This book should appeal to a wide array of professors teaching courses on the principles of finance at the undergraduate level, as well as Master's programs in finance and business, and financial practitioners who want to develop or to refresh their Excel skills.

Publisher Comments:
Quick Calculus 2nd Edition A Self-Teaching Guide Calculus is essential for understanding subjects ranging from physics and chemistry to economics and ecology. Nevertheless, countless students and others who need quantitative skills limit their futures by avoiding this subject like the plague. Maybe that's why the first edition of this self-teaching guide sold over 250,000 copies. Quick Calculus, Second Edition continues to teach the elementary techniques of differential and integral calculus quickly and painlessly. Your "calculus anxiety" will rapidly disappear as you work at your own pace on a series of carefully selected work problems. Each correct answer to a work problem leads to new material, while an incorrect response is followed by additional explanations and reviews. This updated edition incorporates the use of calculators and features more applications and examples. " makes it possible for a person to delve into the mystery of calculus without being mystified." —Physics Teacher

Algebrator is a useful software to solve igcse maths worksheets free download problems . It gives you step by step answers along with explanations. I however would warn you not to just paste the answers from the software. It will not help you in understanding the subject. Use it as a guide and solve the questions yourself as well.
I used Algebrator also , especially in Basic Math. It helped me a great deal , and you won't believe how simple it is to use! It solves the tasks and it also explains everything step by step. Better than a teacher!
Check out at the tutorials available at You have ample information on Algebra 1, particularly on function domain, side-side-side similarity and leading coefficient. Good luck!
I remember having often faced problems with algebra formulas, converting fractions and exponential 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 algebra classes – Algebra 2, Algebra 1 and Intermediate algebra. I greatly recommend the program. |

Math 339 Assignments
Read this first before starting your assignment!
You will find your assignments here on the website. Print them out, and turn in your answers on those sheets. No other paper will be accepted, unless the question indicates otherwise. I've given you plenty of room to include solutions: if you're running out of room, you should re-think your approach! Towards a neat and well-presented solution (see below) I suggest you do your rough work on scrap paper, and turn in the final perfected solution on the printed sheets.
Assignment solutions must be neat, legible, and written with a reader in mind (me), not a mind-reader. If your answers contain unexplained steps, undefined variables, and generally require me to guess what you mean, your solution is incomplete, and will be marked accordingly, even if final answers are correct. You may understand the problem very well, but my only basis of judgement is what you turn in.
Once you have cleared your group with me, assignments may be done in small groups of two or three. The group turns in one assignment, everyone gets the same mark. If you want to be a group of one, you may be.
Group work can be greatly beneficial to your understanding. The arguments and ideas in this course are complex enough that they need careful articulation and presentation. That's best done with someone else before you send it my way!
Principles of Group Work
Everyone should be contributing. Ideally you all work on the problems on your own for a while, and then meet to hash out arguments, poke holes in each other's ideas, tune things up, and finally write up.
It may be that there's one person that (in the context of working with everyone) came up with the essential idea. That's ok. But everyone needs to understand the argument/example, be confident in it, and play a role in critiquing, developing and communicating it. That's important work too.
It may be that for some particular question, there's one person that does the final writing. But everyone needs to have fully participated in laying out the draft solution, and have proofread it once it's written up.
By putting your name on assignment, your are attesting that you yourself are fully responsible for all of its contents, rather than just some of it. If that's not the case, you are claiming someone else's work as your own, which constitutes plagiarism.
So to be specific: the model of group work where the questions are parceled out, each person does something, and the solutions are stapled together an hour before submission time is not the way to go here.
Suggested model for Group Work
When you receive an assignment, meet quickly with group members to hash out a meeting schedule for the coming week. Everyone should take the assignment and work on their own for a while, getting the problems understood and solutions attempted. In your first meeting,argue with one another about solutions, and try to reach a conclusion. If necessary get help from me as a group, or as an individual reporting back to the group. At a second meeting work out final details and write up, either during your meeting, or possibly by assigning someone to write up some of the questions, based on your mutually-arrived at solution. Everyone should proof-read.
If you're having trouble working with your group for one reason or another, and cannot resolve problems within your group, you should come and talk to me. You do have the right to withdraw from a group if you wish. I also reserve the right to adjust the groups if Isee that not everyone is benefiting or contributing.
assignment 4 Due Nov 1, 12:30, D3053 You'll find Maple handy in some spots, and we'll definitely need it for the rest of the course. Have a look at the document Algebra in Maple and keep it handy. I'll expect you to be able to use Maple (on the next test for example) so now's a good time to get started. I think everyone has some Maple experience. If not, please come and see me (or the Math Centre can help with some basics too) |

More About
This Textbook
Overview
The famous problems of squaring the circle, doubling the cube, and trisecting the angle have captured the imagination of both professional and amateur mathematician for over two thousand years. These problems, however, have not yielded to purely geometrical methods. It was only the development of abstract algebra in the nineteenth century which enabled mathematicians to arrive at the surprising conclusion that these constructions are not possible. This text aims to develop the abstract algebra |

Hi, I am a freshman in high school and I am having trouble with my homework. One of my problems is dealing with fourth grade factor problems; can anyone help me understand what it is all about? I need to complete this asap. Thanks for helping.
I really don't know why God made algebra, but you will be delighted to know that a group of people also came up with Algebrator! Yes, Algebrator is a program that can help you crack math problems which you never thought you would be able to. Not only does it provide a solution the problem, but it also explains the steps involved in getting to that solution. All the Best!
I am a frequent user of Algebrator and it has really helped me comprehend math problems better by giving detailed steps for solving. I recommend this online tool to help you with your algebra stuff. You just need to follow the instructions given there.
Algebrator is the program that I have used through several algebra classes - Algebra 1, Basic Math and Algebra 1. It is a really a great piece of algebra software. I remember of going through problems with perpendicular lines, relations and dividing fractions. I would simply type in a problem homework, click on Solve – and step by step solution to my math homework. I highly recommend the program. |

Students are asked to minimize the labor costs of hiring different numbers of workers for different shifts at different hourly wages in a pizza shop. Students use the graph of a system of linear inequalities to solve this linear programming problem geometrically. Activity sheets guide students step by step through the basic process. Homework problems, extension problems, and problem solutions are included. Teacher materials are available only through Key Curriculum Press, but the essence of the lesson is incorporated in the student activity sheets. (sw/js)
Graph the solutions to a linear inequality in two variables as a half-plane (excluding the boundary in the case of a strict inequality), and graph the solution set to a system of linear inequalities in two variables as the intersection of the corresponding half-planes.
