Course
Description
This
course is a critical examination of the foundations of plane geometry, using an
axiomatic approach. It includes the study of both Euclidean and non-Euclidean
geometries. Proofs are emphasized as well as student presentations using a
modern computer based utility.
Purpose
and Goals
This
course considers geometry, or more properly, geometries, from a viewpoint of axioms,
which are assumptions of "truth" necessary to begin discussing the subject
(much like the rules of a game). The Euclidean
geometry studied in high school used a particular set of axioms. Varying these
axioms produces other geometries, some of which, e.g., hyperbolic geometry have applications to the intrinsic structure of
the universe, whereas others like the finite
geometries (that require only a finite set of points) are of mostly pedagogical interest because of their
simplicity.
Understanding
proofs is a fundamental, and perhaps
– along with student oral/written presentations -- the most important, purpose
of the course. The student will learn to proceed, using rules of logical
inference (deductive reasoning), from axioms and definitions and previously
established results (theorems, propositions, lemmas), to prove further results.
Course Content
Chapter 1: Axioms and finite
geometries – (also appendix 1: logic)
Chapter 2: Geometric
Transformations – many of the concepts considered here
Four
in-class examinations will be given throughout the semester. The fourth – a
comprehensive exam -- is during the "finals week."Weekly problem assignments will be made on a
regular basis. Some oral/written presentations
will also be assigned. One major presentation (the oral portion to be 10-15
minutes in length) is to be done toward the end of the semester. Several
quizzes will also be given throughout the semester
Grading:
You
will be graded on the results of the four tests as well as your quizzes,
problem assignments, and written/oral presentations.The examinations will count 40% toward your
semester grade, your homework 40%, the quizzes 5%, and your written/oral
presentations 15%.Your home assignments
are to manifest discipline.Points will
be lost for slovenly work.
If
you are a student with a disability, meet with your instructor as soon as
possible to discuss the accommodations you will need during class activity, and
out of class assignments, in order to participate fully and demonstrate your
abilities.
Plagiarism:
The
student is expected to do his/her own work.Attempted plagiarism will not only be handled by your instructor, they
may also be reported to the office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.Due process will be initiated, if
warranted.See the "Academic
Honesty" section of the 2012-2013 academic catalog of the college, pp.
57-58
Class
participation, "excused" absences, and late assignments:
We
all acknowledge that there are times when attendance at class might be
preempted by more pressing duties.The
obligation of participation remains, however, as does the requirement of
turning in all assignments on time.
Active
participation is expected when another student is making a presentation to the
class.One or the other can be delayed
to a later time if necessary, but this should be a rare occurrence.
The
student is to notify the instructor ahead of time, if possible, of an impending
absence.The instructor is the judge of
the appropriateness of the excuse for the absence.
An
assignment turned in late will result in loss of points for the lateness.An in-class quiz or an examination that is
missed may only be made up if the absence was "excused" and
unavoidable.The request to make up a
quiz must be made on or before the first day the student returns to class. |

In my opinion it is still the best. I have since taught the subject myself and was forced to use other books, with many more pages and fancy pictures than Hoel's book. Yet those books do not do anywhere near as good a job of teaching probabilistic *thinking* as well as Hoel. This is what causes the most problems for students of probability, and Hoel does it the right way in Chapters 1 and 2, which are key. The basic explanations are clear and concise, with many instructive examples.
My professor back then told us that if we want to learn probability, then do every exercise in this book. She was absolutely right. The exercises are excellent. Do them, and you will learn a lot.
This used to be *the* book on elementary calculus-based probability theory at most universities. I don't understand why it seems to have fallen out of favor. Perhaps because of its size (it is fairly compact, as it should be) and age, though I fear that it may be because it is a bit more demanding (but worth it) than many of the newer books.
I first noticed this book during the time that I spent at UC Berkeley as an undergraduate applied mathematics major. It was being used for Stat 101, and though I was not taking that course, I bought it because it looked even from casual inspection to be very well laid out, covering important and interesting issues in basic probability.
The strongest feature of this book from my point of view is its conciseness. Much is presented in as short a time as possible, and because of that the book is much more readable than many others of its level. In addition to conciseness, the authors (in my edition Hoel, Port, and Stone) have made a commendable effort to present the reader with clear and concrete definitions, compact theorems (many proven), and abundant useful examples. In the back of the book nearly all of the solutions of the chapter exercises are given, unlike many books where answers to only the odd problems are given. I believe that this book is ideal for self-study, and that much use of it could also be made as a textbook for an undergraduate course in probability. The exercises are not very difficult, but they are by no means trivial, and much can be learned from them. At the end of a close study of this book the reader would be ready to enter into a program of undergraduate level mathematical statistics, or into a further study of probability with the confidence inspired by a firm understanding of the most fundamental and key concepts in probability theory.
This classical text is complete and detailed. I'm an undergraduate and used the book after acquiring the basics of multiple integration as an introduction to the calculus of probability. Plenty of exercises (answers provided) which not only help you understanding the theory but are also complementary to the text. (This is a "non-measure" text on probability theory.) Well written!!!! (see also Hoel at al., 'Int. to Stochastic Processes', and Taylor, 'An Int. to Measure and Probability',(Springer-Verlag)).
This is a fantastic book. It is a pleasure to read and learn from. I know is an expensive text but it is worth its weight in gold, even if used. I have quite a few books on probability and, had I known about this one before, I would have never bothered looking at the others. This is the type of text to bring along if you were to be dropped onto an island in the middle of the Pacific.
This book is an excellent choice for anyone who is interested in learning the elementary probability theory(i.e. calculus-based probability rather than measure theoretic probability). The book assumes the readers have no prior exposure to this subject. However, the readers are expected to have a working knowledge of calculus. While there are many textbooks of the same nature, this book stands out by its clarity, completeness and elegance. The authors present the material in an extremely clear way that any serious reader is able to follow from the beginning to the end. It is absolutely a first-class textbook! A must for anyone interested in elementary probability. The only part I don't like is that the authors use "density function" instead of "probability mass function" for discrete random variable.
I picked up this book for free in a library give away and didn't realize my good fortune until I read the first chapter. My undergrad probability class used Sheldon Ross's Intro To Probability Models book, which certainly contains interesting examples but lacks the intuitive explanation and rigorous (enough for an undergraduate at least) derivations of this book. Chapter 2 alone provided a better treatment of counting and combinatorics than any book I've seen. Most of the exercises have solutions in the back, which are very convenient for self-study, and the exercises themselves range from straightforward to slightly tricky, although all are very manageable. I am looking forward to tackling HPS's Stochastic Processes book next. |

Reviews of Mathematics All Around
I cannot believe that all of this was crammed into ONE 8 week college course. I'm still getting over the stress of trying to make it through this course. The book is ok if you understand math, but if you don't, you're just going to be more lost than you were before you started. Very confusing stuff |
More About
This Textbook
Overview
The mathematical formulations of problems in physics, economics, biology, and other sciences are usually embodied in differential equations. The analysis of the resulting equations then provides new insight into the original problems. This book describes the tools for performing that analysis. The first chapter treats single differential equations, emphasizing linear and nonlinear first order equations, linear second order equations, and a class of nonlinear second order equations arising from Newton's laws. The first order linear theory starts with a self-contained presentation of the exponential and trigonometric functions, which plays a central role in the subsequent development of this chapter. Chapter 2 provides a mini-course on linear algebra, giving detailed treatments of linear transformations, determinants and invertibility, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and generalized eigenvectors. This treatment is more detailed than that in most differential equations texts, and provides a solid foundation for the next two chapters. Chapter 3 studies linear systems of differential equations. It starts with the matrix exponential, melding material from Chapters 1 and 2, and uses this exponential as a key tool in the linear theory. Chapter 4 deals with nonlinear systems of differential equations. This uses all the material developed in the first three chapters and moves it to a deeper level. The chapter includes theoretical studies, such as the fundamental existence and uniqueness theorem, but also has numerous examples, arising from Newtonian physics, mathematical biology, electrical circuits, and geometrical problems. These studies bring in variational methods, a fertile source of nonlinear systems of differential equations. The reader who works through this book will be well prepared for advanced studies in dynamical systems, mathematical physics, and partial differential equations |

The instructor then discusses whether the boundary line is dashed or solid and which way to shade the inequality, above or below the boundary line Systems of Inequalities, Part 2 The instructor in this video, Sal Khan, in an easy, conversational tone, continues to discuss how to graphGraphing Inequalities with Two Variables Just like equations, sometimes we have two variables in an inequality. Graphing inequalities with two variables involves shading a region above or below the line to indicate all the possible solutions to the inequality. This video clip explains how to graph inequalities with two variables by using some of the same techniques used when graphing lines to find the border of our shaded region.

Actually, the "For Dummies" books might be something to look into. I used them to refresh for my Calculus classes since they go into the basics and provide mathematical formulas and examples when necessary. Only good for the shear basics, though. If you get past all that and want to dive into relativity or quantum mechanics, you'll probably want a college textbook. Which you can find for dirt cheap if you pick out the older editions. Hell, I got a few lying around from a couple years ago that I don't use anymore, and wouldn't mind parting with for the cost of shipping. But probably easier just to go to a local used bookstore, especially if you live close to a campus. |

I purchased both the teacher's guide and the student text for my 12th-grader, thinking this would give her exposure to "real life math" situations. The text ended up being a bunch of worksheets that sent her to the Internet to research the answers and provided zero instruction. The summary on the product describes a series of lessons. Lessons? What a joke. They were worksheets. I expected the teacher's edition to fill in the blanks- no joy. Do not waste your money on this product.

Discrete Math
Discrete Math has a wide application in the modern mathematics. Discrete mathematics is generally used in decision mathematics. In this, we study about objects, set and graphs. Before studying discrete mathematics, you must have knowledge of the following parameters.
Matrix: In matrix, we can put any type of object in the rectangular box. These entries can be real or complex. The entries we are doing are called element of matrix. In matrix, we are having rows and columns as well.
Permutation: Permutation of an object is the number of different way it can be ordered. It is mainly used for small numbers. For example, if we have to choose 6 coins out of 9, then we will use permutation for that. It is mainly of two types:
Permutation with repetition
Permutation without repetition
Combination: If we have to choose a large number of object, your way of choosing is also important. Like permutation, combination is also of two types:
Combination with repetition
Combination without repetition
Sequence: If we have a given set of number and we arranged the numbers in a sequence, we can arrange the number in ascending order or descending order.
Series: Series is a mathematical pattern which has some relation with its upcoming member. We can say that, if we have a series like 2, 4, 8, 16 and so on, then we can say that, $\frac{4}{2}$ = $\frac{8}{2}$ = $\frac{16}{8}$ = 2. Here, we can see that the common difference is 2.
Discrete Math Definition
In simple words, discrete math means the maths which deals with countable sets. Discrete math is the study of the data which are not continuous. The topics involved in discrete maths are:
Integers
Graphs
Statements in logic
Discrete mathematics deals with the discrete objects. Discrete objects are the one which can be separated from each other and can be countable. For example, integers, automobiles, houses, people etc.. So, the main purpose of discrete maths is to make the most complex data much easier to analyze and solve them. Using the discrete math, we can handle infinity, large quantity data very easily and the results from the formal approach can be reusable.
Therefore, discrete mathematics can be defined as the study of mathematical structures that are fundamentally discrete rather than continuous.
Combinatorics
Combinatorics is a branch of mathematics dealing with the study of finite or countable datas. Combinatorics involves the mathematical relations that characterize their properties, like combination and permutation of the sets, enumeration etc. Sometimes, the combinatorics also refers to a larger subset of discrete maths which include graph theory.
The main purpose of the combinatorics is to decide when a certain criteria should be met, constructed and analyzed and conclude whether they are the largest, smallest or optimal objects for the data of given kind and size.
Set Theory
Set theory is one of the important concept of mathematics which deals with the science of infinite. In other words, set theory is the branch of mathematics that deals with the study of sets, collection of objects. The language of set theory can be used to define nearly all the mathematical objects.
Axioms of Set Theory:
Set theory have some axioms which are used in mathematics. The theorems and rules are based on these axioms. And, these axioms are purely accepted on faith.
Following are some of the axioms:
Equality: When two sets have the same elements, then such sets are known to be equal sets
Empty set: If a set contains no elements in it, then such sets are called as empty or null sets.
Unordered Pair: An unordered pair are the set of theory which contains a set of two elements, a and b, which are not related with each other.
Union of sets: The union of sets, denoted as $\cup$ is the set of all the distinct elements in the collection. For example, the union of the sets A1, A2,A3, ......, Angives a set A1 $\cup$ A2$\cup$ A3 $\cup$ ........ $\cup$ An.
Power of sets: The set of all the subsets of set 'A' is called the power set of A and it is denoted as P(A).
Venn Diagram:
Venn diagram is a schematic diagram which is commonly used to represent the set theory. It helps us to know all the possible logical relationship between a finite collection of sets. Say, if we have two sets A and B, then with the help of Venn diagram, the union and intersection of two set A and B will shown as below:
Graph Theory
Graph theory is the branch of mathematics which deals with the study of graphs, which represents the mathematical data diagrammatically so that, we get to know the relationship, differences, variations clearly. The interconnected data represented by mathematical extraction are called as vertices and the links that connect some pairs of vertices are called as edges. Graphs are one of the main object in discrete mathematics. There are different types of graphs. Given below are few of them:
Undirected graph: A graph in which edges do not have any orientation or without any ordered pairs are called as undirected graph.
Directed graph: A graph with n ordered pair is called as directed graph.
Mixed graph: A graph in which the edges may be both undirected and directed is called as mixed graph.
Multigraph: Generally, multigraph is a graph with multiple edges.
Quiver: It is a directed graph, which allows loops and multiple arrows between 2 vertices.
Simple graph: This is an undirected graph which has no loops and having only one edge between any 2 different vertices.
Probability
Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of certainty. It is just an estimated or guessed statement of something that is yet to occur. The higher the degree of probability, greater the chances of events to occur. The occurring of the event sometimes can be true and also false. It is just a guide. It does not tell us what exactly will happen.
Number Theory
Number theory is one of the oldest, largest and a fascinating branch of mathematics. It mainly deals with the properties of the numbers and its functions. A mathematical object which is used to count, label and measure is called as number. Number set is a foundation for all the mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The study of these numerical operations is called as Arithmetic. The number theory classifies the numbers into many types as follows:
Natural Number: Natural number are counting number. The sequence of natural number starts with 1. The counting numbers are (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 .......).
Whole Number: The set of numbers which starts from 0 to infinity is called as whole number. For example: (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ............).
Integers: Integers include both positive and negative whole numbers. These can be written without a fractional or decimal component. Whole number greater than zero is called positive integers and whole number less than zero are called as negative integers. Zero is neutral.
Rational Number: The number which can be expressed in fraction is called as rational number. Fractions are normally expressed with two integers and denominator which is not equal to zero. The real number which is not rational is called as irrational number. For example: 1, 12.38, -0.8625, $\frac{3}{4}$, $\sqrt{2}$.
Complex Number: Complex number is the combination of real number and an imaginary number. The complex number can be expressed in the form of "a + bi", where, 'a' and 'b' are real numbers and 'i' is an imaginary number. Imaginary number allows us to take the square root of negative number. |

AGraphical Approach to Algebra and Trigonometry illustrates how the graph of a function can be used to support the solutions of equations and inequalities involving the function. Beginning with linear functions in Chapter 1, the text uses a four-part process to analyze each type of function, starting first with the graph of the function, then the equation, the associated inequality of that equation, and ending with applications. The text covers all of the topics typically caught in a college algebra course, but with an organization that fosters students' understanding of the interrelationships among graphs, equations, and inequalities.
With the Fifth Edition, the text continues to evolve as it addresses the changing needs of today's students. Included are additional components to build skills, address critical thinking, solve applications, and apply technology to support traditional algebraic solutions, while maintaining its unique table of contents and functions-based approach. A Graphical Approach to Algebra and Trigonometry continues to incorporate an open design, with helpful features and careful explanations of topics.

Math via this book, is alright.
By C. A. Warren "Optical Astronomer" - November 6, 2011
I've been using this book for my Precalculus class, and recently found out the second half of the book is used for my schools Trigonometry class. As far as it's quality of instruction, the book does a decent job. I've found that no matter how good a text book is, there are just certain parts of mathematics, particularly Algebra, which are hard to learn with out the aid of an instructor. This book, is useful in the sense, that this problem is kept to a minimum.
One of the biggest complaints I do have with the book is it's reliance of putting proofs in, and not labeling them as the simply proofs for the concepts you spend your time working with. There have been more than a few times where I mistook a proof to be an equation I needed to learn and memorize. The charts, and graphs are pretty clear and helpful, and even though there are a few missing problems in the answers section in the back of the book, it's overall a pretty good book. |
Koch, Christina E
Common Core Math 1 is a graduation requirement for all students. Students should strive to obtain a solid foundation because many of the topics covered in the curriculum are building blocks for all future math courses. This results in a fast paced and rigorous schedule for each student. There will also be an End-of-Course test, created by the state, given at the end of the year. Expect homework to be given and checked daily. Homework is very important in mathematics because you learn by practicing, not by just listening and watching the teacher.
Materials:
2 inch 3 ring binder w/ dividers
notebook paper
pencils/red pen
graph paper T
I-83/84 plus calculator *
Grading:
Homework - 25%
Quizzes - 25%
Tests - 50%
* Though I highly recommend purchasing your own calculator, students will be able to check them out from the library. These calculators will be available on a first come, first serve basis. Thus, it is very important that students who will need to rent a graphing calculator do so as soon as they are made available.
*For serious infractions an immediate referral to the office will occur
Progress Reports: Grades will be updated in NCWISE approximately every 3 weeks. Dates for updated grades are available on the school website.
Tutoring: I will be available for extra help before school on Tuesdays beginning at 8:10, and after school on Wednesdays beginning at 3:45. Please let me know if you plan to come for help or if you need to schedule an alternate time. In addition, students can make use of the Homework Hotline, and peer or personal tutors.
A Note about Homework: I cannot stress enough the importance of doing your homework each night. Because it is checked and gone over each day, I will not accept late homework assignments. If you forget your homework one day, it will not have a drastic effect on your grade, however, if you habitually forget, your grade will suffer greatly. The homework grade is solely an effort grade and does not reflect accuracy, therefore it will be your responsibility to check and correct your work as we go over it and to ask questions on problems you miss. Students must show work to receive credit. A 100 will be given for a complete assignment, a 50 for an incomplete assignment, and a 0 for an assignment with only a few or no problems done.
Make-Up Assignments: If you are absent, it is your responsibility to find out what you missed either through another classmate, the teacher (before of after class) or you may refer to the calendar on my website. |

Publisher Comments:
At a time when popular solutions to the educational plight of poor children of color are imposed from the outside — national standards, high-stakes tests, charismatic individual saviors — the acclaimed Algebra Project and its founder, Robert Moses, offer a vision of school reform based in the power of communities.
Begun in 1982, the Algebra Project is transforming math education in twenty-five cities. Founded on the belief that math-science literacy is a prerequisite for full citizenship in society, the Project works with entire communities — parents, teachers, and especially students — to create a culture of literacy around algebra, a crucial stepping-stone to college math and opportunity.
Telling the story of this remarkable program, Robert Moses draws on lessons from the 1960s Southern voter registration he famously helped organize: "Everyone said sharecroppers didn't want to vote. It wasn't until we got them demanding to vote that we got attention. Today, when kids are falling wholesale through the cracks, people say they don't want to learn. We have to get the kids themselves to demand what everyone says they don't want."
We see the Algebra Project organizing community by community. Older kids serve as coaches for younger students and build a self-sustained tradition of leadership. Teachers use innovative techniques. And we see the remarkable success stories of schools like the predominately poor Hart School in Bessemer, Alabama, which outscored the city's middle-class flagship school in just three years.
Radical Equations provides a model for anyone looking for a community-based solution to the problems of our disadvantaged schools.

Math 110 Quantitative Problem Solving is a course to assist
students in developing fundamental mathematical concepts. and precesses.
Emphasis is placed on problem solving, reasoning, communication and mathematical
connections. Students recommended for this course should take it prior
to enrolling in courses with quantitative content. This course is offered
S/U inly and may not be used be used to fufill the General Education Requirement
of the College of Arts & Sciences nor be counted toward a major or
minor in mathematics.
I-100 Case Studies in Quantitative Reasoning is an interdisciplinary,
team taught course designed to teach quantitative methods in the context
of how they are used. It s not a simple presentation of technical
meothds followed by practice problems. Instead case studies from
a variety of disciplines form the subject matter of the course .
The emphasis is not on rote computation, but on reasoning; not on formulas,
but on ways to construct and evaluate arguments. Distribution credit
in Mathematics/ Statistics will be given for successful completion of I-100.
However it is recommened that students work for a second semester to reinforce
and extend their mastery of quantitative skills.
EST/AMS 194 Patterns of Problem Solving has four goals:
to increase student confidence in understanding the role of quantitative
reasoning plays in many aspects of decision making; to develop student
ability to apply quantitative techniques to address certain practical problems;
to develop student ability to use the computer as a tool in solving applications
problems; and to develop quantitative metaphors for viewing the world that
are sufficiently powerful. The notion of "model" will be examined
in the context of a variety of applications.

This book presents a unified view of calculus in which theory and practice reinforces each other. It is about the theory and applications of derivatives (mostly partial), integrals, (mostly multiple or improper), and infinite series (mostly of functions rather than of numbers), at a deeper level than is found in the standard calculus books. Chapter topics cover: Setting the Stage, Differential Calculus, The Implicit Function Theorem and Its Applications, Integral Calculus, Line and Surface Integrals—Vector Analysis, Infinite Series, Functions Defined by Series and Integrals, and Fourier Series. For individuals with a sound knowledge of the mechanics of one-variable calculus and an acquaintance with linear algebra. |

Algebra (Encyclopedia of Science)
Algebra is often referred to as a generalization of arithmetic: problems and operations are expressed in terms of variables as well as constants. A constant is some number that always has the same value, such as 3 or 14.89. A variable is a number that may have different values. In algebra, letters such as a, b, c, x, y, and z are often used to represent variables. In any given situation, a variable such as x may stand for one, two, or any number of values. For example, in the expression x + 5 = 7, the only value that x can have is 2. In the expression x2 = 4, however, x can be either +2 or . And in the expression x + y = 9, x can have an unlimited number of values, depending on the value of y.
Origins of algebra
Algebra became popular as a way of expressing mathematical ideas in the early ninth century. Arab mathematician Al-Khwarizmi is credited with writing the first algebra book, Al-jabr waʾl Muqabalah, from which the English word algebra is derived. The title of the book translates as "restoring and balancing," which refers to the way in which equations are handled in algebra. Al-Khwarizmi's book was influential in its day and remained the most important text in algebra for many years.
Al-Khwarizmi did not use variables in the same way they are used today. He concentrated instead on developing procedures and rules for...

Twenty Years Before the Blackboard by Michael Stueben with Diane Sandford
A perfect gift for the new teacher. . . or for anyone interested in the teaching of mathematics. This book is the legacy of 20 years of mathematics teaching. During this time, the author searched for motivation techniques, mnemonics, insightful proofs, and serious applications of humor to aid his teaching. The result is this book: part philosophy, part humor, and part biography. Readers will be amused and enlightened on every page. Mr. Stueben shows how he has used humor and wordplay to motivate his students. The book is filled with wonderful problems and proofs, as well as the author's insights about how to approach teaching problem solving to high school students. Sections of the book also treat the use of calculators and computers in the classroom. A section on mnemonics shows how teachers can use memory aids to help their students learn and retain material. Although Mr. Stueben taught at the high school level, his book is an excellent "methods" book for mathematics teachers at all levels. |

I would like to know some good problem books in various branches of undergraduate and graduate mathematics like group theory, galois theory, commutative algebra, real analysis, complex analysis, topology etc. The books should contain solution to many of the problems if not all, something similar to Problems in Algebraic Number Theory by M. Ram Murty, Jody Esmonde. Also, any text book contain solutions to many of exercises will also do.
Most math textbooks do not contain solutions to exercises because doing so encourages bad study habits. If you struggle over a problem and frustrate with it, then when you finally get it, it's yours. That result will stay with you, as well as the technique that you developed to get the solution - not anybody else's. If you get completely stuck, ask a professor (or us) for a hint. It's bad to have the option to just flip back and read a solution whenever you don't understand something. In other words, I don't like the premise of this question.

@Alexander I have to most strongly disagree with you on this. I think every textbook should have complete solutions and the reason is it's not enough to know the answer's wrong,you have to know WHY it's wrong and a beginner may have trouble grasping this. It's the STUDENT'S responsibility not to abuse the use of the solutions-they should be consulted only when all else fails.Even better would be a manual made up entirely of hints-a good, well worded hint is usually more then enough for a hard working student to get unstuck.

@Alexander: Some very good textbooks contain solutions to at least a large number of questions: Graham, Knuth, & Patashnik, Concrete Mathematics, Miklós Bóna, Introduction to Enumerative Combinatorics, and Herbert S. Wilf, generatingfunctionology come to hand at once. In my experience such books are to be preferred for self-study.

For some bizarre reason this question currently has $3$ votes to close, at least two of which are apparently on the demonstrably specious grounds that it is '[i]t's difficult to tell what is being asked here', and '[t]his question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form'.

You can begin with the Red and Green books of mathematical problems,both available through Dover. Then there's a ton of good ones,mainly on analysis and combinatorics. A classic is the 2 volume Problems in Analysis by Polya and Szego. Very difficult,but well worth the effort. Before that, you might want to cut your teeth on the wonderful The Cauchy-Schwartz Master Class by J. Micheal Steele, to learn many of the basic inequalities that will be needed there.
After that,the sky's the limit. From T.S. Blyth's 5 volume problem course on abstract algebra to Combinatorial Problems and Exercises by Laszlo Lovasz to the 2 volume Problems in Mathematical Analysis by W. J. Kaczor and M. T. Nowak.
I second Schaum's Outline. They are very helpful...to this day.

I mentioned these in a comment, but they might as well be added to the collection in the answers. Graham, Knuth, & Patashnik, Concrete Mathematics, Miklós Bóna, Introduction to Enumerative Combinatorics, and Herbert S. Wilf, generatingfunctionology, all include solutions to a great many of the problems.
A Collection of Problems on Complex Analysis by Volkovyskii et al. (Dover) takes problems from several well-known texts and furnishes answers for many. I am finding it helpful--problems range from very basic to pretty advanced. It may not be part of the Problem Book series Jim mentions. |

Mathematics instruction at the college level, indeed at any level, has traditionally been synonymous with the lecture format. Of all the liberal arts disciplines, mathematics has been among the slowest to implement alternative, innovative teaching techniques. There are several reasons for this conservatism. Many college and university mathematics professors, although not all, consider themselves researchers first and teachers (a distant) second. Almost all were trained in mathematical research, not in teaching. After all, the Ph.D. is a research degree, not a pedagogical one. Thinking about changing the way we teach has not been a high priority. The majority of all college professors, of course, were trained to do research, so why should mathematics be any different from the other disciplines? Again, there are several reasons. First, most mathematics professors were trained by the traditional lecture method; it is our basic model of mathematical teaching. That traditional lecture method does not readily lend itself to classroom discussion or interaction. Some of us may be uncomfortable trying to lead a discussion. The symbolic nature of the language of mathematics also may inhibit verbal intercourse and discussion. In addition, mathematical research can, although it does not have to, be a relatively isolated pursuit. Teams of researchers, where they exist, often consist of a few mathematicians who are highly specialized in a particular area. While discussions about research with colleagues occur, this type of discussion is of little use in an undergraduate classroom. |

door wheel. The radii of the wheel's outer and inner rings are R1= 0.330m and R2 = 0.130m , respectively. Calculate the moments and about point D for
the forces applied at points A and B. Then, determine the resulting couple moment . Assume that a positive moment produces a counterclockwise rotation
whereas a negative moment produces a clockwise rotation. Express your answers numerically in newton-meters to three significant figures separated by
commas. |
This is a fairly short chapter. We will be taking a brief look at vectors and
some of their properties. We will need
some of this material in the next chapter and those of you heading on towards
Calculus III will use a fair amount of this there as well. |

This is a free, online textbook that is also part of an online course. According to the author, "Analysis is the study of limits. Anything in mathematics which has limits in it uses ideas of analysis. Some of the examples which will be important in this course are sequences, infinite series, derivatives of functions, and integrals. As you know from calculus, limits are the basis of understanding integration and differentiation, and, as you also know from calculus, these things are the basis of everything in the world you could ever need to know.״This is a free, online textbook for an introductory course in complex analysis.

This is a free online course offered by the Saylor Foundation.'This course is an introduction to complex analysis, or the theory of the analytic functions of a complex variable. Put differently, complex analysis is the theory of the differentiation and integration of functions that depend on one complex variable. Such functions, beautiful on their own, are immediately useful in Physics, Engineering, and Signal Processing. Because of the algebraic properties of the complex numbers and the inherently geometric flavor of complex analysis, this course will feel quite different from Real Analysis, although many of the same concepts, such as open sets, metrics, and limits will reappear. Simply put, you will be working with lines and sets and very specific functions on the complex plane—drawing pictures of them and teasing out all of their idiosyncrasies. You will again find yourself calculating line integrals, just as in multivariable calculus. However, the techniques you learn in this course will help you get past many of the seeming dead-ends you ran up against in calculus. Indeed, most of the definite integrals you will learn to evaluate in Unit 7 come directly from problems in physics and cannot be solved except through techniques from complex variables.We will begin by studying the minimal algebraically closed extension of real numbers: the complex numbers. The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra states that any non-constant polynomial with complex coefficients has a zero in the complex numbers. This makes life in the complex plane very interesting. We will also review a bit of the geometry of the complex plane and relevant topological concepts, such as connectedness.In Unit 2, we will study differential calculus in the complex domain. The concept of analytic or holomorphic function will be introduced as complex differentiability in an open subset of the complex numbers. The Cauchy-Riemann equations will establish a connection between analytic functions and differentiable functions depending on two real variables. In Unit 3, we will review power series, which will be the link between holomorphic and analytic functions. In Unit 4, we will introduce certain special functions, including exponentials and trigonometric and logarithmic functions. We will consider the Möbius Transformation in some detail.In Units 5, 6, and 7 we will study Cauchy Theory, as well as its most important applications, including the Residue Theorem. We will compute Laurent series, and we will use the Residue Theorem to evaluate certain integrals on the real line which cannot be dealt with through methods from real variables alone. Our final unit, Unit 8, will discuss harmonic functions of two real variables, which are functions with continuous second partial derivatives that satisfy the Laplace equation, conformal mappings, and the Open Mapping Theorem.'

"This is a text for a two-term course in introductory real analysis for junior or senior mathematicsmajors and science students with a serious interest in mathematics. Prospectiveeducators or mathematically gifted high school students can also benefit from the mathematicalmaturity that can be gained from an introductory real analysis course.The book is designed to fill the gaps left in the development of calculus as it is usuallypresented in an elementary course, and to provide the background required for insight intomore advanced courses in pure and applied mathematics. The standard elementary calculussequence is the only specific prerequisite for Chapters 1–5, which deal with real-valuedfunctions. (However, other analysis oriented courses, such as elementary differential equation,also provide useful preparatory experience.) Chapters 6 and 7 require a workingknowledge of determinants, matrices and linear transformations, typically available from afirst course in linear algebra.

This is a free, online textbook. According to the author, "This text carefully leads the student through the basic topics of Real Analysis. Topics include metric spaces, open and closed sets, convergent sequences, function limits and continuity, compact sets, sequences and series of functions, power series, differentiation and integration, Taylor's theorem, total variation, rectifiable arcs, and sufficient conditions of integrability. Well over 500 exercises (many with extensive hints) assist students through the material. For students who need a review of basic mathematical concepts before beginning "epsilon-delta״-style proofs, the text begins with material on set theory (sets, quantifiers, relations and mappings, countable sets), the real numbers (axioms, natural numbers, induction, consequences of the completeness axiom), and Euclidean and vector spaces; this material is condensed from the author's Basic Concepts of Mathematics, the complete version of which can be used as supplementary background material for the present text.״ |

Students watch 115 animated lectures on CD-ROM, do problems in the 588-page workbook (consumable) and enter their answers on your computer--which records their grade automatically. When they need help or review, you've got a printed Answer Key plus audiovisual step-by-step solutions to every homework and quiz problem.
by Rob I on 2013-08-01 This is the fourth TT level we have purchased, and have been highly satisfied with it as well. My youngest, who struggles with math, will continue to use TT; however, we have decided to move my good math student to another program as she is finding this one not quite challenging enough for her. TT literally saved our home schooling and we are so grateful for this math program.
by Kirsten K on 2013-06-13 TT Math is a fantastic program. I have children with 2 very different learning styles, and they both excel with this program. We use the book in conjunction with the CDs for each lesson. My only wish would be for the text to contain the same, more detailed explanations that are found on the CD, for days when we take school on the road.
by Judy P on 2011-03-14 As a veteran homeschooling Mom of twelve, I give only positive praise for teaching textbooks! The Sabouri brothers have created a much needed and appreciated math program for homeschoolers. I have three students that are using Teaching Textbooks, and I am ready to place an order for the fourth child.
by KELLY H on 2010-06-17 My son, Michael, went from hating Math to asking if he could do two lessons a day!
by ALYSIA S on 2009-11-05 As a new homeschooler, I played it safe initially and chose Saxon, but as time progressed and my struggling math student went from not liking math to hating math; I hesitantly tried Teaching Textbooks. Within a week, I overheard her telling her dad that she loved her new math! I find this to be great for my kinestetic learner. She doesn't love math, but at least it doesn't take her as long to complete it. Finally, I am concerned that it doesn't offer review of previously learned topics. My solution is to supplement with a summer bridge book (daily, about 5-10 extra review problems/day)
by BETH P on 2009-04-28 TT was an answer to prayer! My reluctant math student did well with this program. It was very instructive, had lots of detail, yet not too much busy work as I've experienced with some other programs. We plan to use TT for all our upper level math courses. |

Introduction to Modern Mathematical Computation
This introduction to modern mathematical computation provides a new approach to the teaching and learning of computer packages. Many introductions to computer packages aim to teach you the syntax (rules and structure) and semantics (meaning) of the system as efficiently as possible but not why it is necessary to learn such things. By contrast, this course will demonstrate that mathematical software tools such as Maple are effective tools with a wide range of applications in areas of mathematics, mathematics education, computer science, engineering and science. How computation and experimention can help build mathematical intuition and knowledge is a theme that will be emphasized throughout the course. |

I have been working with beginning Algebra students for a good many years now. In that time, I have found myself answering many similar questions where students often tell me that when they are alone they get stuck and do not know where to look for help. This is certainly the case when problems are posed out of sectional context. After some interaction, it becomes clear that folks simply do not have the algebraic vocabulary needed when searching the index or internet for help and quickly become overwhelmed.
"I do not know what to type in when searching for help!"
To help, my idea was to create a visually searchable database of commonly asked algebra questions. This compendium of algebra videos is intended to be more of a "how to" type of approach serving students looking to solve a particular problem in a short amount of time. More instructional or "lecture" type of videos are valuable and quite abundant. For these I would like to recommend James Sousa's MathIsPower4u website.
After authoring two online algebra textbooks published by Flatworld Knowledge, I created a similar visually searchable list of videos for all of the "Thy this!" problems found in the textbook.
This approach is not the silver bullet for success in Algebra, however, it does review well is appreciated by students who are more inclined toward a visual learning style.

Course Introduction
The curriculum offered at the University of Aizu is based on Computer Science and Engineering CC 2005 (Computing Curricula 2005), which have been discussed by IEEE and ACM. Students can attain substantial knowledge and skills through General Education Courses, Specialized Fundamental Courses, and Specialized Courses.
Mathematics and Related Courses
Students sometimes ask me, "Why do we have to learn mathematics though we entered the University of Aizu to study computer?" "As students majoring in computer science and engineering, I expect you to acquire a mathematical way of thinking (or logical thinking), rather than increase mathematical knowledge, through mathematics courses", I reply to them.
When you write a small-size program, regardless of quality, which can be used, you don't need much of mathematical way of thinking.However, if you write a program consisting of tens of thousands of lines for a large-scale system as a collection of such small-size programs, you will face a fatal problem.Correcting an error causes another error.This kind of thing happens everywhere in the program and you will not be able to complete the program.
As shown in the example above, mathematical way of thinking or logical thinking is indispensable for computer program development.Many people recognize that it is also crucially important for conducting research and/or carry out development activities.Therefore, I hope students majoring in computer science and engineering learn mathematics seriously.
Basic learning cycle of the university is attending a lecture, taking notes and doing a review.In addition to this cycle, thinking on your own is important.When taking mathematics courses at the University of Aizu, you are encouraged to put your best effort in doing exercises.When doing exercises, think on your own about what you learned in the class.
Solving problems given in exercise using textbook, hand-outs and the notes you took, you can understand what was taught in the class.You may find you do not understand theories well, or the problems are too difficult to solve. When you cannot solve a problem, try to solve it by copying an example answer.Repeating this process, you might experience a moment of sudden understanding of what you did not understand before.
I think this sudden understanding is caused by rewiring in the brain.The more you experience a moment of this sudden understanding, the more you will be able to enjoy mathematics.I am confident that young people who can enjoy mathematics will solve current problems creatively and open up new horizons for Computer Science and Engineering.

I teach courses related to physics from among courses for natural sciences.
Physics is an academic discipline, where people explore principles and laws from a number of phenomena which apparently look quite different, such as motion of objects and/or planets, electromagnetic phenomena, and predict motion and phenomena in the future. Imagine how much surprised Newton was when he found out that a force acting on a dropping apple and a force acting on yearly round of the earth is the same.It is also possible to determine that the earth is 13.7 billion years of old based on radio waves floating in outer space.Students can organize complicated phenomena and study methods of thinking in the world of physics, which is creative and full of imagination. Physics is not directly connected to what students need for selecting types of business for which they are to be employed in the future.However, I am sure that it will be a great strength when students have to tackle various problems involving computers in the future.
Some students have a tendency to stay away from studying physics because they think it is difficult.However, we, the faculty at the University of Aizu are ready to attract and accept students who have not studied physics at high school by offering sufficient time of computer exercises for experiencing physical phenomena and leading to understanding of basics of methods of thinking in physics, so that they can get interested in studying physics.We have great expectations for many students to join the physics courses.

Courses related to computer literacy are offered at the University of Aizu, in order for students to attain knowledge and skills essential for studying computer science and engineering.These courses are designed for paving the way for specialized courses, by introducing the entire structure and flow of the curriculum and inviting graduates and prominent experts who are playing a leading role in various fields, so that students can understand the framework and placement of computer science and engineering.Students do not have to worry about not having touched computers or written programs.It is enough that students have preference in computer without detailed knowledge, as it is often said "we tend to be good at those things we like."Starting from scratch, students will be able to understand what they are learning.At the University of Aizu, students will use workstations with UNIX, not Windows and/or Mac which are familiar to any students.Almost all students will start at rock bottom after admission to the University, so they will get more and more interested in studying using workstations, if only students are to ask questions frequently to clarify what they do not understand at an early juncture.

I am responsible for the courses, "Introduction to Programming" and "C Programming", which are offered in the first and second semesters respectively for first-year students. In these courses, basics to applications for C programming are taught.There are a very few courses at other universities in Japan in which first-year students spend one whole academic year for studying one programming language in detail. This method of teaching has been implemented in order to correspond to requests from first-year students who are very eager to use computer right after entering the University.As faculty members, we would like for students to obtain skills relevant to programming as early as possible, because programming is one of very important tools for studying computer.In that sense, courses regarding programming are not goals of studies, but the starting points to work on class activities and research conducted in other courses. Knowledge and skills on programming are musts for studies and research at the University.As for the course, "Introduction to Programming," nine instructors spend much time and labor for making the course better, by having many meetings and exchanging a number of e-mails a day, etc., so that students can make progress in this introductory course without experiencing difficulty. Looking at the world outside the University, computers are used at every corner in the world, starting from large scale on-line systems for banks to home electric appliances, such as rice cookers.It may be no exaggeration to say that the infrastructure necessary for our lifestyles and future is supported by programming.Computers and programming have infinite possibilities.I really would like for students to learn programming with enthusiasm.Skills and knowledge in programming will also be great advantages at the time of seeking employment.

In these days, everything, including cars, home electric appliances such as televisions, has been equipped with a computer and/or internet. Systems used for such machines have become multifunctional and high-performance year by year. Machines also have become complicated, so that they can communicate each other on their own, working as established computer applications based on operating systems.vWhat can be done with a simple program and/or application has become very limited these days. Computer engineers in the age to come are required to have a broad understanding of computer systems.Otherwise, they would be able to work as just a cog on the wheel.
One of the greatest advantages in studying computer at universities is that students can learn the essence of computer starting from the basics.Most people have a tendency to work on what they are interested in and/or what is directly required for their work, which is easier to do.Accordingly, they seldom have opportunities to study the basics of things. However, if students follow such a tendency, it will be difficult to realize what they really want and to catch up with the times nowadays.At the University of Aizu, students can steadily learn operation systems, database, logical mathematics, algorithms, etc., which are basic and essential, but hard to approach, through class activities. Moreover, they can also learn cutting-edge technology and become interested in it.Knowledge and skills that students will attain at the University will certainly serve as a core to produce innovative technology in the future.
Humanities and Social Sciences The University of Aizu offers a variety of courses related to Humanities and Social Sciences.These courses aim at expansion of the understanding of the background and surrounding fields of computer science, as well as acquisition of well-rounded basic ways of thinking and methodologies regarding culture and science.Currently, there are 15 courses in this course group, including "Philosophy," "Psychology," "Literature," "Jurisprudence," "Sociology" and "History of Science."
Students are required to take 4 courses or more among these 15 courses.We recommend our students to take as many courses as possible in order to broaden their perspectives.
I teach "Philosophy," one of many courses in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
The further you study philosophy, the more interesting it becomes to you.You may find that philosophers whose names you have heard were quite odd, or you may find that there were many philosophers who doubted existence of the objects right in front of them.

Physical Activities Physical activity courses held once a week help you release the body and mind, and provide opportunities to have face-to-face interaction with classmates.Only in youth, can people challenge and experience potential of their physical functions, because physical functions reach their peak during one's youth.There are many things that you should attain through development of physical strength in your youth.Aggressiveness, cooperativeness, frustration tolerance, etc. you acquire through physical activities will influence your body and mind, and form your "zest for living," which will surely help you in various activities including research seminars at the University and your future life after graduation.
Physical activity courses are specifically necessary for computer science and engineering-oriented students, as they spend most of the time at universities sitting in front of computers.

Computer Systems and Related Courses
Students who would like to be involved in building computers in their future are strongly recommended to take the courses, "Logic Circuit Design" and "Advanced Logic Circuit Design."What you acquired in these courses will be useful when you work in the field of digital integrated circuit design, as these courses, specifically the latter, give you first hand practice on tools and integrated circuits in use in the real world.However, taking these courses is not sufficient.Logic circuit design is a first step for digital integrated circuit design.Knowledge before (e.g. definition of the relevant functions) and after (layout design; designing in which part of an actual integrated circuit a transistor device should be placed and how the device should be connected) learning logic circuit design is also necessary.So taking other related courses is recommended.
In addition, studying computers requires knowledge not only on integrated circuits, but on other devices (keyboards, etc.) and operating systems (Windows, etc.).Ultimately, if you take as many courses related to the field of computer systems as you can, you will gain real knowledge and skills for making computers.

I teach the course, "Computer Network Organization and Design," offered in the first semester for the fourth-year students of the UndergraduateSchool. This is a final course of the tracks in the field, "Computer Network Systems."Students can learn element technologies of computer networks in a comprehensive and practical manner.In our laboratory, we call all information interactions through the Internet "ryu-ki" (drifting information)."Ryu-ki" may be difficult to understand because it is invisible.So, in exercise classes of "Computer Network Organization and Design," students start learning from recognizing invisible phenomena through "visually understanding environment for the usage, data, services, protocols, applications of the Internet."This is a good opportunity for students who do not have prior knowledge, to select and learn necessary knowledge and skills intensively through the facts and experiences.I hope that you and I will be able to share an excitement of finding an extensive world of computer networks.Perhaps, students do not experience such as excitement in their first, second and third years.

The ultimate goal of this course group for students is to become computer science professionals when they graduate from the Undergraduate Program.To attain this goal, students concentrate on learning three specialized fields, namely, "Robotics," "Virtual Reality and Human Interfaces," and "Biomedical Information Processing."However, fast-evolving technologies today make the technologies which used to be leading-edge five years outdated.Therefore, becoming an engineer or a system developer requires continuous study of new technologies.
Do you think it is pointless to learn specialized/technical knowledge then?That is not right.When you learn specialized/technical knowledge, you also learn how to apply such knowledge to actual information systems.So you do not have to worry about emerging technologies in the future, because the experience you gained here will exercise its value when you face unknown fields.
There is another thing that I would like to mention.For system development, we should not disregard the existence human beings.There is always someone at an IT terminal machine.It is us, human beings, who make our society work.You may associate "system development" with "programming." But system development is actually a pre-programming stage.Development of good systems hinges greatly on how to model human behaviors.Taking courses in this course group, you will be able to understand what I mentioned above.

EXCELLENT BOOK...OUT OF PRINT!!!
Digital Signal Processing is the one subject that you need a solid foundation in math to proceed further; preface with Richard Lyons' UNDERSTANDING DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING. Those who are interested in the math behind DSP and yet dread Oppenheim, might find this book really useful. Stanley takes you through a tour of DSP using math, but does it so much better than Oppenheim. These two books combined should give you a head start over others in learning DSP. Use this as a ladder to take you to the books by Oppenheim and Prokias, and you won't regret taking DSP. |

The pure mathematics content of most such syllabuses is covered in "Mathematics - The Core Course for A-Level", while this book provides the companion mechanics course. It also contains a section on probability, a topic included in many A-level mathematics syllabuses. An appreciation of the properties of vectors is introduced at an early stage and, wherever appropriate, problems are solved using vector methods. Worked examples are incorporated in the text to illustrate each main development of a topic, and a set of straightforward problems follows each section.

PREQUISITE: MTH 140 with C, B or A or a satisfactory score on the placement
test. Students from other institutions must provide appropriate documentation
for enrollment to the instructor on or before Aug. 27, 1999.
COLLEGE ALGEBRA COURSE INTENT: This course is intended for students whose
choice of academic fields requires a college level algebra course in
preparation for mathematics used in such fields. This section will require
the use of a TI-83 graphing calculator to help learn the topics of this course
and on tests. Each student may check a TI-83 out of the library while
enrolled in the course.
ALTERNATIVE COURSE: EARTH ALGEBRA - College Algebra with Applications to
Environmental Issues" by Schaufele and Zumoff taught in MTH 155 Survey of
Col. Math. may serve your needs for a college algebra mathematics course
if you do not wish to major in science areas. Please confer with
the Mathematics Deptartment Chairperson.
TIME ON COURSE: The four class hours, field trips and special projects time you spend on this course will require about fourteen homework hours per week for high grades to around eight hours per week for passing grades. It is best to construct a time schedule for each week of the course and mark out the study time you plan that gives you the needed ten to fifteen hours indicated above. This commitment is a pledge you make for yourself to "BE ALL YOU CAN BE" for the obligation you have undertaken to learn this mathematics.
ADDITIONAL STUDY AIDS: Before the end of the first week take the Skills Test for beginning College Algebra found on pages 2-7 in
the Mathematics Department's Syllabus. You should get 20 to 25 questions
right or else consider repeating
Intermediate Algebra to master necessary skills for College Algebra.
The student answer key has more than the answers.
Computer software may be used in SW 109 and I will help you
with this mathematics software when needed.
After the first week our mathematics department tutors located in room SW 211 can
help you and some library materials are available. Tutoring is also offered at the South County Education Center and the West County Education Center. To obtain individual peer tutoring through the College Success Program, contact Kathy Rose in the Administration Building, Room 232 (984-7571). Instructional videotapes (VL#--) are available for use in the Library Learning Lab.
Please see me as soon as possible for any personal accommodations you require.
CHAUTAUQUA
TYPICAL CLASS PERIOD: The first part of class time is open for answering
student questions about the previous assignment including exercises, reading
material, or classroom notes. Add your questions to the class day's START UP
LIST. You are encouraged to help answer other student's questions or show
your solutions by presenting chalk board work. While presenting information
is expected, this communication is not graded. Use this time to experiment
with your ability to understand an exercise and convey your understanding to
others. Subtract your contribution of board work from the START UP LIST as
you put work on the board with your first name next to the section and
problem numbers. Your frequent involvement will help you practice many of
the activities covered in your general and specific goals covered later in
this syllabus and generally aid your understanding of the problems of the
course. Don't worry about mistakes you may make, that's included in this
part. In fact, the first student that finds and reports a given textbook
or answer key mistake on the day's attendance sheet may have extra credit
for that discovery.
Another part of class is used to introduce new material
with examples, discussion and demonstrations or proofs. I assume that prior to the class in which new material is introduced that you took notes as you read from the new textbook sections and practiced the new vocabulary.
You may wish to include the textbook examples in your class questions of new
material as your instructor will cover these ideas and concepts and do additional examples.
Some class time is spent with all students working at the chalk board, some class time is spent working in teams and some class time is spent in the computer room SW 109.
TEAM ACTIVITIES: Some class time is devoted to team work aimed at a deeper
understanding of some course topics or their applications. Your instructor
will assign you to a team and assign team coordinators. Sometimes a grade
may result from this team work. When working on a team, students are to
think for themselves treating the instructor as a guide, consultant, coach and
evaluator to the team. Always try to approach your team time with a
knowledgeable position based on your personal studies. During team activity,
you should display a willingness to generate discussion that leads to answers
or more refined questions that converge to solutions to your team assignment.
You may be in the dark on some points but being open to change and willing
to communicate your points even if mistaken at first helps the team toward
the final goals while helping you toward greater clarity. At times we need
team work to derive all the answers or computations in some assignments.
And other times teams provide a natural background for discussion of the
material and presentation of solutions. You are expected to help your team
reach reasonable objectives on time and demonstrate to me that you are
participating on your team in a meaningful way. Also, teams may wish to
work as a study group covering daily assignments. This can be implemented
via your telephone or computer networking.
Individual communication is not permitted in class. Please note that
individual communication is not very productive while another person is
speaking in a group or class room situation.
EXPECTATIONS: This syllabus including its Course Schedule (below), the Mathematics
Department's Syllabus including Assignment Sheets on pages 12-13, College
Algebra Objectives on pages 7-11, and Policies on page 16 combined with the
St. Louis Community College Fall 1999 Fact Finder student handbook gives
you the relevant course, student academic rights and responsibilities, and
study guide information. These items will give you a sense of the quality
that your instructor works to achieve in this course. Please see me as soon
as possible for any personal accommodations you require and please keep in
mind that: The quickest way to resolve any difficulty, no matter how small,
is to let your instructor know about it as soon as possible.
SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS: You are expected to read the textbook and take notes
from the textbook before the class in which the material is covered. Add to
these notes or take separate notes covering the new material and activities
in each class. Then, finish each assigned exercise, see the Department's
Syllabus pages 15-16 or do ALL ODDS, for the following class except perhaps
a few of the more difficult exercises that you should ask about in the next
class and then finish. Put your list of studied but unsolved problems on the
class day's START UP LIST. Definitely ask for individual help when needed
particularly if you can not work large portions of the exercises. Review
processes you used to solve home work exercises and practice vocabulary each day. Remember that
you want to stay on top of your work and be able to adequately prepare for
the unit test coming in a few days. This generally means you need to
develop a dogged attitude with more than several hours per day spent on
solving exercises, keeping good notes from the text and class, and doing
plenty of daily reviewing likely including some daily memorization. Give
yourself a short test of five problems each day! Use your personal weekly study
schedule sheet to keep track of finished work and extra credit points. If
you need help, I am located in the mathematics department during office
hours or you may call my home telephone number before 8:30 PM. This course
takes lots of gumption.
SOME GENERAL GOALS: Learning in this course may be enhanced by your frequent willingness to use and thereby improve:
3. your understanding of the general application of definitions and concepts and your energy in applying definitions and concepts to your basic areas of interest;
4. your skill in computing accurately and efficiently with and without
calculators or computers;
5. your ability to recognize mathematics as a way of thinking and speaking
about quantities, qualities, measures, and qualitative and quantitative
relationships and to extend beyond to a level where you model your applications;
6. your ability to use mathematics to gather data, to present and interpret
this data, to read and understand mathematics reports, charts, graphs, and
accounts with and without modern technology;
7. your ability to use a general problem solving technique and incorporate
computer and graphing calculator technology to facilitate problem solving;
8. your understanding of the logical structure of a mathematical proof: both
formal and informal and both deductive and inductive. Also, your understanding
of the logical structure of subject areas within mathematics, and the logical
structure of mathematics as a useful part of an individual's philosophy. Make these
types of your logical structures meaningful;
9. your ability to demonstrate mental traits such as visualization, curiosity,
imagination, creativity, and play related to each concept and strategy to promote understanding and problem solving;
10. your ability to develop attitudes that lead to appreciation, confidence,
respect, initiative, and independence for yourself and foster the same for other individuals;
11. your "preparation for" and "ability to" work with others in group activities and problem solving situations with an understanding of group dynamics for innovative decision making as well as conditions of "groupthink" that lead group problem solving astray.
within your individual studies, during small group interaction, through all class activities and in your community.*
Consider the above list as you strive for excellence in understanding mathematical ideas and develop corresponding techniques. Add more activities or general goals by experimenting with new ones that may help you increase learning or make learning more meaningful and pleasant. Reorganize your methods and even style of learning for deeper understanding and interest. Pursue the lines of inquiry that you find your mind selects naturally while not diverging from the outline of course material too far. It is OK to spend large amounts of time studying just a few ideas, pages, or problems and as a matter of fact this is YOUR MAGIC for learning mathematics. Also give yourself personal permission for making lots of mistakes. Use the criterion of "when time seems to flow" as your gauge for individual development to realize a sense of accomplishment then personal complexity may change as well. Don't get stuck or stay stuck! Help yourself to be an expressive engaged learner, that is, "be all you can be".
* Keep pencil and learning journal, log, personal weekly study schedule sheet or just plain scratch paper next to you and actively fill in the details of ideas that lack continuity.
SOME INITIAL SPECIFIC ALGEBRA GOALS: Know and apply these algebra properties
and new ones to everything. Assume that p is any real number, q is any real
number and r is any real number.
NUMBER OPERATIONS:
PROPERTY // ADDITION // MULTIPLICATION
CLOSURE
p+q is a real number and pq is a real number.
COMMUTATIVE
p+q = q+p // pq = qp
ASSOCIATIVE
p+(q+r) = (p+q)+r // p(qr) = (pq)r
IDENTITY
p+0 = p = 0+p // p1 = p = 1p
INVERSE (0 is not equal to 1)
p+(-p) = 0 // p(1/p) = 1
DISTRIBUTIVE (FACTORING OF COLLECTING SIMILAR TERMS)
p(q+r) = pq+pr
ZERO PRODUCT
0p = p0 =0
FACTORS OF ZERO (WHEN THEY EXIST)
pq = 0 implies p = 0 or q = 0
NUMBER RELATIONS:
PROPERTY // EQUALITY p = q // INEQUALITY p is less than q
REFLEXIVE
p = p // p is not less than p
SYMMETRIC
If p = q then q = p. // If p is less than q, then q is not less than p.
TRANSITIVE
If p = q and q = r then p = r. //
If p is less than q and q is less than r, then p is less than r.
SUBSTITUTION
Any number, letter or algebra combination of numbers or letters
may be substituted for p, q, or r in the properties listed above
unless stated otherwise.
also: If a = b, then b may be substituted for a in any statement.
NUMBERS AND GEOMETRY
The numbers p and q may locate points on one line so: p and q locate
the same point when p = q. p and q locate different points when
not equal to each other.
If p and q locate points on a horizontal line then the
absolute value of ( p - q ) gives the distance between p and q.
Absolute value is written | p - q |.
Also, if p and q locate points on a horizontal line and p is less than q,
then we generally consider p on the left of q. In fact, p is less than 0
is another way to say p is negative.
Geometry: distance between p and q corresponds to this absolute value,
| p - q |, in algebra.
ASSIGNMENTS and NOTES: Your problem assignments, text notes and class notes
are checked during regular test times. Turn in your notebook as you enter the
test time and take it with you when you leave the test. All material should
be in sequential textbook order. Seven extra credit points = 3 for completely
worked homework exercises + 2 points for textbook notes + 2 points for class
notes are given via a quick review of the thoroughness and spot checked for
accuracy of your work.
TESTS: A regular test is given as shown on the Course Schedule and no make
up tests may be taken. Regular tests are composed from the ODD EXERCISES in
your textbook for 85 to 95% of the test and the rest from material
highlighted during class. These tests are graded and returned as soon as
possible but certainly less than a week. Ask for help if you need to develop
better test taking skills. The final exam counts as two regular tests and is not
returned.
REPORTS: A few team assignments are required and count as a regular test or
a part of a regular test. Additionally, some extra credit exercises and
reports are suggested during the course and carry the amount of points
assigned with the given work. A rubric will be discussed in class.
GRADES AND THE GRADE SCALE: The final grade is based on the average of these
regular tests and team assignments. Any extra credit points are added to
the regular test points at the end of the course. The following scale is
used on each unit:
A for 90 points or above,
B for 80 to 89 points,
C for 70 to 79 points,
D for 50 to 69 points, and
F for under 50 points.
Test grades correspond to percentages of highest raw scores. I recommend an
average of 75 or better from the tests scores (without the extra credit
points) before you take any courses for which college algebra is a
prerequisite. You may ask about PR or I grades for your individual
combination of circumstances.
You may give yourself one point extra credit on the day's attendance for
each problem put on the board. You may give yourself one point extra credit
for each error you find in the textbook or in the answer key as long as you
document what error is and show the page number next to your one point on
that day's attendance sheet.
ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED: more than four days of absences or eight times of
tardiness gives you a course grade of F.
CHANGES: Some additions, substitutions and/or corrections to this syllabus
will be made during the course. |

Well there are just two people who can help me out right now, either it has to be some math guru or it has to be the Almighty himself. I'm fed up of trying to solve problems on poems about math functions and some related topics such as graphing function and decimals. I have my midterms coming up in a week from now and I don't know what to do? Is there anyone out there who can actually spare some time and help me with my problems? Any sort of help would be highly appreciated.
I understand your situation because I had the same issues when I went to high school. I was very weak in math, especially in poems about math functions and my grades were really awful. I started using Algebrator to help me solve problems as well as with my homework and eventually I started getting A's in math. This is a remarkably good product because it explains the problems in a step-by-step manner so we understand them well. I am sure that you will find it helpful too. |
math,algebra - why are function notations important, are they really that |
Transitioning to Proofs
One of the challenges in becoming a math major is learning the art of mathematical proof.
It is proof that distinguishes mathematics from other academic disciplines, giving our subject a permanence and transparency which makes mathematics truly timeless. Most students come to college having already exposed to a wide range of logical thinking processes, even if they haven't been aware of them. Being able to phrase and support logical arguments, however, is a skill that takes time and effort to master. As with any new skill, it will be your commitment to frequent and careful practice that will turn this new technique into second-nature.
As you transition into a proof-based class, your best resource is the professor of your class; this person can help you learn to read and write mathematical statements, and they can give you tips on how to approach certain standard proof practices. There are also a number of books which help students understand the basic structure of proofs. This PDF was a short guideline written by Erica Dohring ('14) which gives some ideas for how students might effectively transition into a proofs-based class; it also includes some suggestions for further reading as you explore this exciting new mathematical frontier |

Book DescriptionI bought this book initially to help my niece who is struggling with the exam subject and has had extra private tutoring (with little success) at £30 a session for many months. Within a few minutes reading she could at last see the logic and retain the method for working out some of her most problematic areas!
am 57 and despite loving maths all my life I was never able to grasp many aspects ...(thanks mainly to a beligerent and nasty teacher and outdated dusty old text books) until now that is. Mnemonics, silly ryhmes, songs and wacky images are how we all learn as infants so why change that as we grow??? MTTWW teaches things in a natural way, a way that even wrinklies like me can absorb and really enjoy.
The book is going to play a major part in my 8 year old son's learning too. As soon as he opened it he was hooked on the colour, humour and non-scary presentation... he wanted to have a go straight away! This a big fat book (too large to go through the letter box!) full of wonderful enduring methods accessible to all ages and abilities. It's what the maths world and all its needlessly failing students has been waiting for. BUY IT NOW.... you'll not regret it.
i bought this for my maths gcse as i thought it would help me through my lessons etc and due to the reviews it has had.
well what can i say? it is good in the sense that uses colours and character images (e.g) apples & bannas etc. as a result it makes the reading fun and easier to remember the equitations, BUT that is how far it goes.
this book doesnt really go into depth about the equitations and it does explain how to do them, it just uses examples in the hope that the reader will get it straight away by using character images. so three stars are for the delivery time scale and the images.
I am a Mathematics teacher and I find that this book is a great help with pupils to whom I give extra lessons to help them gain a good pass at GCSE. I love the mnemonic to remember the Trigonometrical identities! All in all an excellent book and one I would recommend. |

This Textbook
Overview
Susanna Epp's DISCRETE MATHEMATICS WITH APPLICATIONS, FOURTH EDITION provides a clear introduction to discrete mathematics. Renowned for her lucid, accessible prose, Epp explains complex, abstract concepts with clarity and precision. This book presents not only the major themes of discrete mathematics, but also the reasoning that underlies mathematical thought. Students develop the ability to think abstractly as they study the ideas of logic and proof. While learning about such concepts as logic circuits and computer addition, algorithm analysis, recursive thinking, computability, automata, cryptography, and combinatorics, students discover that the ideas of discrete mathematics underlie and are essential to the science and technology of the computer age. Overall, Epp's emphasis on reasoning provides students with a strong foundation for computer science and upper-level mathematics courses.

This book was awful in my opinion, I used it as an undergraduate and it was a component of an online class. You need serious teacher help and explanations for this book to work for you. The only thing it is good for is giving you problems to solve. And even some of the problems had errors in them. I wish they had negative stars on this review listing.

Average book
I used this book as an undergrad, it was useful up to a point, then in the later chapters where the content is harder there is less examples and explanations are poor. If you have an instructor that does an excellent job of teaching then this book shouldn't be a problem, but if you use it for an online course, then I suggest you get another book to help yourself out.

I used this book as an undergraduate and was very displeased with its helpfulness. It does not speak clearly and has minimal examples for reference. I had to purchase another textbook in order to learn the material.
