Full description for Michel Thomas Method You'll stick with it because you'll love it * Use the unique method perfected over fifty years by the celebrated psychologist and linguist Michel Thomas. * This method works with your brain, helping you to learn or brush up you Maths techniques in manageable, enjoyable steps by thinking out the answers for yourself. The new Michel Thomas Maths Course Maths is similar to languages inasmuch as people tend to think that they need to have an 'aptitude' for it, and that without this it will be a hard slog; the Michel Thomas Method will remove this mystique and will enable even the most maths-phobic student to succeed. The author of the Michel Thomas Method Maths Course, Paul Carson, has been true to the Michel Thomas principle of breaking the material to be taught down to its simplest components and then presenting these components in a meticulously structured way so that learning is gradual and apparently effortless. There is no chance for the student to get lost or left behind as it's impossible to go on unless each item being taught has been understood or 'internalised', and as Michel Thomas said, 'What you understand you know, and what you know you don't forget'. The Michel Thomas Method has been proved to work with hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers who believed that learning a language would be stressful, hard work, or simply beyond them. Now we show that the Method can be applied to other areas with equal success, as Michel Thomas himself always insisted. Contents: 3 DVD-ROMs plus 64-page booklet giving the graphics from the DVD-ROMs, and track listings to help navigate the course
UA preparatory math goes virtual Apr 26, 2011 By La Monica Everett-Haynes Is this what flashes across your mental screen when you think about math? The UA's mathematics department is piloting a new course, Math 100, which is designed to help students who struggle with university-level math. The course provides personalized instruction with a heavy emphasis on tutoring, peer support and the use of technology. The University of Arizona's math department is experimenting with a novel approach to early math instruction – one with a heavy emphasis on technology and peer-to-peer tutoring. Arguably, few other required college-level courses elicit the same frustration or the intimidation factor as mathematics. Some commonly talk about holding a hatred for math, believe they are no good at it or think up strategies to avoid it all together. But one University of Arizona team is working to unravel the enigmatic nature of math for the very students who struggle the most with it – those who do not test into college-level math. Math 100, now in the second semester of its pilot phase, has a heavy emphasis on both self-paced progress and peer-to-peer support while being offered through Elluminate, a web-conferencing system. "Students are so used to being online. We thought that if we put the course online we could interact more," said Michelle Woodward, who coordinates the pilot course being offered by the UA mathematics department. The number of section offerings will be expanded during the fall to accommodate more UA students who do not test into algebra-level mathematics. Woodward said the course is being emphasized and expanded because it is especially important for new students to grasp college math, especially algebra – a curricular core – early. Algebraic skills have long been associated with giving students the ability to think in more complex ways. A student's ability to comprehend algebra has long been upheld as an indication of college-readiness, particularly for study in science and engineering-related disciplines. "It's the foundational material they need to be prepared for college algebra," Woodward said. "My whole goal in this is to make an online environment that is as close to what students would do in person. I want the environment to be as interactive as possible," Woodward said, adding that another program, the ALEKS Learning Module, provides both structure and flexibility while also offering the course content. "I have done a lot of work with students who needed individualized plans. ALEKS does that for me," she said. "I could not do that for 300 students, it doesn't replace me – it frees me up to work with students individually, the kind of work I didn't have time to do before." Over the course of the semester, the 300 students currently enrolled in one dozen Math 100 sections meet three hours weekly, receiving self-paced instruction mediated by Elluminate. Students complete assignments, learning to master algebraic expressions and graphing techniques and, all the while, ALEKS tracks their progress. "We are able to personalize the lessons much better than we have. It's been wonderful," said Cheryl Ekstrom, a mathematics lecturer who initiated the idea to incorporate Elluminate. "You aren't stuck listening to a lecture on things you already know or breezing by things you don't understand." This is in direct contrast to more established and traditional ways of teaching math. "In a traditional class, it doesn't matter if it's hard for you," said Shailendra Simkhada, an electrical engineering senior also studying math. "Each day in a regular class, you might get a new chapter or deadline to meet but, here, they can work at their own pace," he said. "It's not that they do less work, but if you don't understand something you get more information and one-on-one help so that they stay on track," he added. If fact, students designate their goals at the start of the class, deciding what sections they want to master and what math class they hope to test into at the end of the term. Students also engage in weekly virtual classroom meetings, sharing their computer screens and conversing online with student leads and support staff – UA students who are advanced in math and receive more than 15 hours of training. Kirandeed Banga, a UA sophomore studying biology, is a member of the student lead and support staff. Each week, Banga joins the other leads and support staff members in a classroom in the Math Building where they each log online to tutor and monitor student work. "With it being completely online, it's hard to get their trust. But we try to talk to them as much as possible," said Banga who, like others on the team, also offer office hours. "And we put them into virtual groups, so they are also able to help one another," she added. "They obviously are used to the technology, so they can adapt to it." Also built into the design of the course is extensive support to the UA students facilitating the class. Ivvette Rios, a UA math and French major, observes the virtual sessions and conducts weekly meetings with all of the students offering tutoring and support. Her role is to ensure that the leads and support staff have everything they need to appropriately help the hundreds of students enrolled. Rios said the time for self-evaluation and self-reflection is critical for those involved, and helps to ensure that the structure is working well for all involved. "We are always thinking of ways we can do this better; to make it more and more like our everyday experience," Rios said. "It's work out way better than we thought it would." Leo Shmuylovich knows a lot about how tutoring can take a student from confused to confident. The Washington University graduate student has worked as a tutor for several test preparatory companies over the years, helping ... (PhysOrg.com) -- New research from the University of Notre Dame suggests that even though adults tend to think in more advanced ways than children do, those advanced ways of thinking don't always override old, incorrect"Considering how many fools can calculate, it is surprising that it should be thought either a difficult or tedious task for any other fool to learn how to master the same tricks. Some calculus-tricks are quite easy. Some are enormously difficult. The fools who write the text-books of advanced mathematics-and they are mostly clever fools-seldom take the trouble to show you how easy the calculations are. On the contrary, they seem to desire to impress you with their tremendous cleverness by going about it in the most difficult way." Calculus Made Easy, Silvanus P. Thompson, Prologue, 1910
Linear Algebra and Its Application - 4th edition Summary: Renowned professor and author Gilbert Strang demonstrates that linear algebra is a fascinating subject by showing both its beauty and value. While the mathematics is there, the effort is not all concentrated on proofs. Strang's emphasis is on understanding. He explains concepts, rather than deduces.

Most colleges offering elementary and intermediate algebra use two different texts, one for each course. As a result, students may be required to purchase two texts; this can result in a considerable amount of topic overlap. Over the last few years, several publishers have issued "combined" texts that take chapters from two texts and merge them into a single book. This has allowed students to purchase a single text, bu...show moret it has done little to reduce the overlap. The goal of this author team has been to produce a text that was more than a combined text. They wanted to unify the topics and themes of beginning and intermediate algebra in a fluid, non-repetitive text. We also wanted to produce a text that will prepare students from different mathematical backgrounds for college algebra. We believe we have accomplished our goals. For students entering directly from an arithmetic or pre-algebra course, this is a text that contains all of the material needed to prepare for college algebra. It can be offered in two quarters or in two semesters. The new Review Chapter found between chapters 6 and 7 serves as a mid-book review for students preparing to take a final exam that covers the first seven chapters. Finally, we have produced a text that will accommodate those students placing into the second term of a two-term sequence. Here is where the Review Chapter is most valuable. It gives the students an opportunity to check that they have all of the background required to begin in Chapter 7. If the students struggle with any of the material in the Review Chapter, they are referred to the appropriate section for further review. ...show less00 +$3.99 s/h LikeNew treeoflife_books Marion, IN Ships same or next business day with delivery confirmation.

The first part covers the basics of Banach spaces theory with the emphasis on its applications. The second part covers topological vector spaces, especially locally convex ones, generalization of Banach spaces. In both parts, we give principal results e.g., the closed graph theorem, resulting in some repetition. One reason for doing this organization is that one often only needs a Banach-version of such results. Another reason is that this approach seems more pedagogically sound; the statement of the results in their full generality may obscure its simplicity. Exercises are meant to be unintegrated part of the book. They can be skipped altogether, and the book should be fully read and understood. Some alternative proofs and additional results are relegated as exercises when their inclusion may disrupt the flow of the exposition.״ " Intended to be used as an intermediate level text for students who have had some prior exposure to beginning Algebra in... see more " Intended to be used as an intermediate level text for students who have had some prior exposure to beginning Algebra in either high school or college.

jpsumm (Non essex users should add @essex.ac.uk to create the full email address) Module is taught during the following terms Autumn Spring Summer Module Description The module covers the mathematical skills needed to proceed to any degree course where knowledge of mathematics to AS level standard is required. The syllabus initially covers the basic mathematics of number work, equations and graph work to ensure that all students have acquired basic skills before proceeding on to more advanced topics. The syllabus then expands to cover calculus, further algebra and series, with lectures developing in range and content. The associated work in classes develops the skills used to solve relevant problems, until the student is handling questions involving a broad spectrum of mathematical knowledge and skill. Module aims - to ensure that students from a wide range of educational backgrounds have a broad understanding of basic mathematical skills - to develop the ability to acquire knowledge and skills from lectures, from text books and class work exercises, and from the application of theory to a range of weekly coursework material - to develop students' ability to use these skills in their subsequent degree course - to equip students with the mathematical techniques needed to solve problems and to clearly structure their solutions and conclusions. Learning outcomes On successful completion of the module a student will demonstrate: - knowledge of the basic mathematical techniques of algebra - knowledge of calculus and an understanding of the methods of differentiation and integration when applied to a range of functions - an ability to analyse a problem and to choose the most suitable method for its solution - an ability to work well under examination conditions - an ability to absorb and retain concepts - the application of appropriate study strategies - an ability to clearly communicate knowledge without immediate recourse to source material Learning & Teaching Methods The module is delivered via a weekly one-hour lecture for all students and a weekly two to four-hour class for small groups of students. The two hour classes are used to go over the lecture material and to consolidate it with exercises. Allocation of students to particular groups is based on their ability, as indicated by a mathematics assessment test in week two. Each group therefore contains a small number of students of similar ability. Students who exhibit lower ability in the assessment test are allocated additional one or two hour classes per week. Weekly one hour tutorials also take place throughout the course for students needing additional support. There are a total of 19 one hour lectures, plus 19 two hour classes, over the period from week 3 to 11 and week 16 to 25. There are three weeks of revision lectures and classes in weeks 30 to 32.
This program was designed to be shown on a 1024 x 768computer screen. (This is one file containing 10 different pages.) Each of the 9 trig investigations allows for the dragging of an x-coordinate to compare y-values on each graph and the viewing (or hiding) of various companion functions. The pages have been set to open with only one function in view. Other functions appear with a mouse click. DoNOT"save" changes when done and these original settings will remain for the next class or viewing. This package is great for classroom demonstration as items are large enough to be seen in a classroom setting.

Mathematics MATHEMATICS (GCSE) Course Outline All students study Mathematics in Key Stage 4. In the Mathematics GCSE course you will learn more about number, algebra, geometry and data handling. You will learn, for example, how to manipulate numbers, solve a range of different types of equations, express rules algebraically, collect, analyse and interpret data and solve a range of geometric problems. At times you will be expected to work independently or collaboratively sharing ideas and learning from them each other. You will have access to ICT within your Mathematics lessons and will be encouraged to develop your problem solving skills and your ability to apply your Mathematical techniques to a range of situations. A good grounding in basic number skills is essential for success in GCSE Mathematics. You will need to know your multiplication tables and be able to assess whether your answers are sensible. Assessment There are two forms of assessment in Mathematics: internal and external. Internal There are two ways we assess students understanding and progress; through regular weekly homework and through end-of-term assessments. External The external assessment is through two written examinations. You can be entered for one of two tiers; Foundation or Higher. Both tiers give you an opportunity of achieving at least a C grade. You are expected to use a calculator in one exam but this is not allowed in the other. Each examination is worth 50% of your final mark. Progression The skills learnt in GCSE Mathematics are used in a number of post 16 courses, for example: A level Physics, Chemistry, Geography, Sociology, Mathematics and various Level 3 BTEC courses. Mathematical skills are needed in the careers of accountancy, engineering, teaching, banking, architecture and many more

gives a general, basic understanding of the mathematical structure "nonlinearity" that lies in the depths of complex systems. Analyzing the heterogeneity that the prefix "non" represents with respect to notions such as the linear space, integrability and scale hierarchy, "nonlinear science" is explained as a challenge of deconstruction of the modern sciences. This book is not a technical guide to teach mathematical tools of nonlinear analysis, nor a zoology of so-called nonlinear phenomena. By critically analyzing the structure of linear theories, and clarifying their limitation, this book makes the meaning of "nonlinear" (and, at the same time, of "linear") precise and concrete. The core material is accessible to a much broader audience beyond specialists. It also includes notes that describe more advanced materials for extended studies which might be rather non-trivial for specialists in physics and mathematics. less

I can not guarantee you will pass your test after going though any of the tutorials in this website or this practice test. However, it will definitely help you to better understand the topics covered better. Disclaimer: WTAMU and Kim Seward are not responsible for how a student does on any test or any class for any reason including not being able to access the website due to any technology problems. There are no videos on this page. Introduction It is important to note that, chances are, I'm not your math instructor. You need to check with your math teacher as to things like when your next math test is and what it covers. It may cover more material on the test than what is in this practice test. Just note that there are other practice tests at this website. So, after finding out what is on your test (if you have one) do the practice test(s) problems that go with the test you are preparing for. If you are not in a class or are not having a test soon, this practice test is still good practice to go through and check to make sure you are understanding this material before moving on - kind of like a spot check. The material on this practice test goes with Tutorial 32: Formulas, Tutorial 33: Basic Geometry, Tutorial 34: Central Tendencies, and Tutorial 35: Reasoning Skills. Also note that your teacher may word the problems on their test a little differently, may have some different kinds of problems, or may have a different number of problems than what is in this practice test. Again, since I'm probably not your math instructor, I don't know exactly how your teacher will set up your math test. Just note that these problems will help you build an understanding of the concepts presented and the terms used in math problems. If you have an understanding of the problems instead of just memorizing them, then you should do fine on these concepts, no matter how the test is set up. Steps to Studying for a Math Test Work through problems. If you are in a class, you should have done this on completion of any homework you have done. For anyone, you can accomplish this by doing the practice problems found in each tutorial. Check work on problems. The practice problems in each tutorial have links to the answers to them so you can instantly check how you are doing. Also, in most math books, the odd answers are found in the back of the book. Review concepts. Whether you got the problems right or wrong, make sure you review over them. If you did get a problem wrong, make sure you either review that concept in it's respective tutorial or ask your math teacher about it. If you don't ask about a problem before a test, you are going to kick yourself when it comes up on the test. Work through problems as if you were taking the test - no notes, book, webpages, etc. This practice test is a perfect way to do that. After taking this practice test, check your answers by clicking on the link to the answer key found at the bottom of the practice test (before the 'need extra help on these topics' section) During the Test It is to your benefit to show as much of the work as possible on the problems that have several steps involved. Make sure that you read the directions carefully, you wouldn't believe how many points get taken off math tests for people not following directions. Pace yourself. You do not have to be the first one done to do well on the test. Do not panic if there is still time left to take the test and others are turing it in. Sometimes that means they do not know the material and left some of the answers blank. Do not worry about anyone else but yourself. Don't rushthrough a problem. Another thing that math teachers take points off for are careless mistakes made by people that rush through a problem. When those students get their tests back, they bonk themselves on the head at some of the things that got counted wrong, things that they knew how to do. Check your answers. If you have time, go back and check your answers. Remember to breathe!!!! I know some of you are scared to death at the thought of having to take a math test of any kind. For you guys, try to relax and don't forget to breathe. (Even if you aren't scared to take a math test, it is probably a good idea to remember to breathe, I wouldn't want you to pass out during the test). If it feels like your brain has left the building during your test, just close your eyes and breathe in and out and in and out and your brain will return. Good luck on your test. If you are taking a math test soon, don't panic, you are going to do great!!! Practice Test Problems 1a - 1b: Solve each equation for the specified variable. 1a. for y 1b.

In many aspects in applied sciences, geometric problem do appear naturally. Solutions to those problems are not always trivial. Collision detection is one of those problems, ans it can be solved using specifically designed algorithms and data structures such as the BSP tree. The tessellation of a domain is also a non trivial geometric problem with many applications in scientific computing. One can also find other application outside the scope of applied sciences, such as geographic information systems (GIS). Generally speaking, the course focuses on discrete geometry, that is to say , we do not consider the notion of continuity, but rather focus on geometric entities such as points, segments, planes, polygons and polyhedrons. Learning outcomes of the course : The aim of this cours is to give the audience the opportunity to have a knowlege of the most usual approaches used to solve certain kind of geometric problems such as : Computation of robust predicates (eg. Is a point located inside a given triangle or not). Robust means here that the result does not depend on small errors due to rounding in floating point arithmetics. The practical part of the cours is constituted by some practical exercises and a project where students work in an autonomous manner, in groups of 2. The aim of the practical exercises is that students should implement basic CG algorithms.

Thank god, just regular graphing crap. My grandfather was a mathematician/college professor who worked with NASA and was a pivotal part of the landing phase of the trip to the moon. He wrote an equation for NASA that they wouldn't have been able to land without or something. He tried to teach me trig when I was like 11 ugh. He's written a bunch of books too. They're so hard to understand...like only other mathematicians could even comprehend what he wrote. I actually have a copy of the equation, but I don't think it would be wise to post it.

Pages to are hidden for "Mathematics Template" Please download to view full document 7397879512469511 Mathematics Subject Template (Required Information needed to prepare for course submission) • Course Guidance GENERAL MATHEMATICS GUIDANCE NOTE: Courses below Elementary Algebra are not considered college preparatory and are not appropriate for satisfying the "c" mathematics requirement. The intent of the mathematics requirement is to enable students to develop the ability to think mathematically as well as to provide background and skills for classes and disciplines with specific mathematical content. Goals of the Mathematics Requirement The overarching goal of the subject requirement in Mathematics is to ensure that freshmen are adequately prepared to undertake university-level study. Area (c) courses recognize the hierarchical nature of mathematics and advanced courses should demonstrate growth in depth and complexity, both in mathematical maturity as well as in topical organization. Although many schools will follow the Algebra I – Geometry – Algebra II format outlined in the California Standards, other sequences may treat these topics in an integrated fashion (such as the Interactive Math Program - IMP). Combinations of IMP, Algebra, Geometry, and other courses can also satisfy the area (c) requirement (see note below). More important than the topics covered, or even the skills used directly in class, are the more general abilities and attitudes that should be gained in the effort of mastering the content. These include fostering: 1. A view that mathematics makes sense: it offers ways of understanding and thinking; it is not just a collection of definitions, algorithms, and/or theorems to memorize and apply. 2. A proclivity to put time and thought into using mathematics to grasp and solve unfamiliar problems that may not match examples the student has seen before. Students should find patterns, make and test conjectures, try multiple representations (e.g., symbolic, geometric, graphical) and approaches (e.g., deduction, mathematical induction, linking to known results), analyze simple examples, make abstractions and generalizations, and verify that solutions are correct, approximate, or reasonable, as appropriate. 3. A view that mathematics approximates reality and mathematical models can guide our understanding of the world around us. 4. An awareness of special goals of mathematics, such as clarity and brevity (e.g., via symbols and precise definitions), parsimony (removing irrelevant detail), universality (claims must be true in all possible cases, not just most or all known cases), and objectivity (students should ask "Why?" and accept answers based on reason, not authority). 5. Confidence and fluency in handling formulas and computational algorithms: understanding their motivation and design, predicting approximate outcomes, and computing them -- mentally, on paper, or with technology, as appropriate. Mathematics is a language, fluency in it is a basic skill, and fluency in computation is one key component. Approved area (c) courses need to demonstrate how students acquire these competencies. A guide for the approaches and content expected in area (c) courses is the Statement on Competencies in Mathematics Expected of Entering College Students, from ICAS, the Intersegmental Committee of the Academic Senates of the California Community Colleges, the California State University, and the University of California. Courses submitted to UC for (c) approval must demonstrate they include approaches discussed in Section 1 of the ICAS document – merely listing standards to be covered is not sufficient. Further perspectives can be found in Understanding University Success, pp. 29-31. The Center for Educational Policy Research, 2003, and in Principals and Standards for School Mathematics, pp. 287-364, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics 2000. Course Requirements Regardless of the course level, all approved courses are expected to satisfy these criteria: 1. Courses should be consistent with the Goals described above. 2. The content for these courses will usually be drawn from the Mathematics Content Standards for California Public Schools. While these standard can be a useful guide, coverage of all items in the standards is not necessary for the specific purpose of meeting the area (c) requirement. Likewise, simple coverage of all standards is not enough to assure course approval. For success in college, secondary mathematics teachers should help students learn to assimilate the major ideas and principles that encompass the standards rather than treating the standards as a check-off list. The ICAS Statement of Competencies in Mathematics can provide guidance in selecting topics that require in-depth study. Page 1 3. One unit must either be a course in geometry or part of an integrated sequence that includes sufficient geometry, such as IMP I, II, and III (see note below for acceptable course combinations). 4. One-year mathematics courses (e.g., algebra) taken over three or four semesters are acceptable to meet the (c) Mathematics requirement, but credit will be granted for only one year (two semesters) of work. For students utilizing this pattern, all grades awarded by the school are averaged in the GPA calculation. 5. Completion of advanced mathematics courses with a grade of "C" or higher can validate an earlier grade of "D/F" in the sequence provided that the material in the advanced course substantially builds upon the earlier course. Typically, Algebra II validates Algebra I but not Geometry. 6. Courses selecting topics from the California Standards as a base usually receive the following unit values: Algebra 1 (1 unit), Geometry (1 unit), Algebra II (1 unit), Trigonometry (1/2 unit), Mathematical Analysis (1 unit), Linear Algebra (1/2 unit), Probability and Statistics (1/2 unit), Advanced Placement Probability and Statistics (1 unit), and Calculus (1 unit). Trigonometry is usually embedded in Algebra II, Mathematical Analysis, or pre-Calculus, and the preceding refers only to stand alone courses. Most courses titled pre-Calculus are based on selected Trigonometry and Mathematical Analysis standards and receive 1 unit. Although not listed in the California Standards, each course in a rigorous integrated sequence (such as IMP I, II, III, IV) receives one unit. 7. Courses that are based largely on repetition of material from a prerequisite or prior course (for example as test preparation or pre-college review) will not be approved. th 8. Other rigorous courses that use mathematical concepts, include a mathematics pre-requisite, and that are intended for 11 and 12th grade students, such as discrete mathematics or computer science may also satisfy the requirement. Such courses must deepen students' understanding of mathematics by incorporating the depth implied by the Competencies statement. HONORS MATHEMATICS GUIDANCE o Math Honors courses are expected to provide both breadth and depth of exploration in the subject area, developing writing, research, and analytical skills. Specific detailed evidence must be included in the course outline. o The courses must offer content and/or experience that are demonstrably more challenging than what is offered through the regular college preparatory courses in the same field. o Factors considered for UC-approved honors courses that satisfy the "c" requirement include but are not limited to the assignment and evaluation of one long or numerous short, challenging, and properly-annotated research papers and a comprehensive final examination. Specific details of each of the assignments are required. o The use of college-level textbooks is encouraged. o Regular college preparatory courses in the subject areas should be offered. If regular non-honors courses are offered, a strong justification for the lack of a regular course is required. o In addition to AP and IB higher level courses, high schools may certify as honors level courses not more than one unit in mathematics. o A single, written, comprehensive, full year final exam must be administered that encompasses all the material that has been covered for the entire year. • Course Content NOTE: The following questions are subject specific and ask for detailed information regarding the course curriculum. Since UC has developed their own criteria for the review of curricula, it is not necessary (and preferred) that the State Standards are not listed when submitting course descriptions to the University. When preparing the course submission, keep in mind that your audience is the UC High School Articulation unit and UC faculty. Include relevant information that would assist those reviewing the course and provide UC a better understanding and clarity about the intent of the curriculum. UC expects to see information that would show specific, detailed evidence of the course rigor and development of essential skills and habits of mind. Course template components need to be more expository and illustrative of the integration of each course component and how the overarching goals are being accomplished. The text boxes below will expand to accommodate additional text. Course Purpose: What is the purpose of this course? Please provide a brief description of the goals and expected outcomes. (How these will be accomplished should be reserved for the Course Outline, Key and Written assignments, Assessments, and/or Instructional Methods.) NOTE: More specificity than a simple recitation of the State Standards is needed. Page 2 Course Outline: A detailed descriptive summary of all topics covered. All historical knowledge is expected to be empirically based, give examples. Show examples of how the text is incorporated into the topics covered. A mere listing of topics in outline form is not sufficient (i.e. textbook table of contents or California State Standards). Key Assignments: Detailed descriptions of all Key Assignments which should incorporate activities and projects, as well as, short answers and essay questions. How do assignments incorporate topics? Include all assignments that students will be required to complete. Assignments should be linked to components mentioned in the course outline. It is not appropriate or necessary to include instructions given to students regarding the execution of assignments (formatting, timeliness, etc.). Do not include exams or assessments in this section. Instructional Methods and/or Strategies: Indicate how the Instructional Methods and/or Strategies support the delivery of the curriculum. What portions of the Course Outline are supported by the methods and strategies? Assessments Including Methods and/or Tools: Indicate the intent of each assessment and a brief description of how each relates to the Course Purpose and goals related to the development of critical thinking and other habits of mind skills. NOTE: If "Yes" is selected for "Seeking 'Honors' Distinction" on the "Course Description" page of the "New Course" submission process, please complete the remaining 2 text boxes below. Corresponding Non-Honors Course: Indicate the name of the regular non-honors course corresponding to this proposed honors course. Page 3 Differences in Honors/Non-Honors Courses: Describe in detail how this honors course differs from the regular course offered in the same subject area. Be specific. UC assumes Honors submissions will have increased level of reading and writing. Please be specific and descriptive regarding precisely how these increase the rigor of the course beyond merely increased amounts of work
W.W. Sawyer was one of the most innovative mathematics teachers of his time. The idea of this book was to make abstract mathematics understandable to those looking in from the outside - such as engineers. This book has much to offer the reader in terms of originality and pedagogy. However, be warned that although it is above the level of bedtime reading, this book is not suitable for use as a textbook in a university abstract algebra course as it does not cover all the requisite material. Readers looking for a glimpse into modern algebra who do not want to deal with the turgid theorem/proof style of modern mathematics texts will find this book easy and rewarding reading. Those taking a class in abstract algebra will find this book more useful as supplementary reading. If you enjoy this book I would also recommend the more mainstream (but still excellent and original) text "A Book of Abstract Algebra" by Pinter. The combination of these books gave me the tools I needed to learn the basics of abstract algebra without having to subject myself to the snobbish and elitist undertones found in most advanced mathematics texts on this subject matter.

In my field, its uses are unlimited." Challenge One of Richard Breheret's biggest challenges as a high school math teacher is finding a way to help students arrive at answers from different perspectives, whether algebraic or formal, while integrating concepts from primary school to high school. Solution Through Mathematica, Breheret had been showing his students how to arrive at satisfactory answers while understanding that in math there won't always be just one correct answer. This led him to work with webMathematica to develop a web interface in which mathematical expressions could be entered simply, including all the terminology specific to teaching math in France. Benefits For Breheret, Mathematica's greatest benefit is in how it works behind the scenes, analyzing answers and allowing instructors to see how many times students try the exercises, if they succeed, if they assimilate the concepts, and if they have difficulties. When students struggle, Mathematica is there to help.

Rachel, I think the critical question is: Are you planning to pursue a career that rquires a facility in doing mathematics? (Or, perhaps, are you just interested enough in mathematics to spend some time at it?) If your answer is yes, then I strongly recommend Mathematica. Otherwise, the time overhead in learning Mathematica might not be worth it. Mathematica can be used at almost any level. Sometimes it automatically does things where the beginner would like to see the steps. But there are usually ways around that. For example Solve will solve many equations, but it just gives you the answer and doesn't show the steps. But on my web site I have a high school notebook, StepByStepEquations, that shows how to solve equations one step at a time. If you are going to use mathematics in your future studies, then learning Mathematica now will be a great help. Learning it on simple problems is the best way! There is nothing worse than getting to a more advanced course where the instructor says: "Now we are going to attack the following problem with Mathematica." It is very hard to learn difficult math AND Mathematica at the same time. And you can get lots of help with Mathematica on MathGroup! You should contact Wolfram Research for the licensing information. Student Mathematica isn't too expensive and you might want the latest version. David Park djmp at earthlink.net -----Original Message----- From: Rachel [mailto:tic at toc.com] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg45652] [mg4560] Mathematica for Macintosh questions. Hello, I recently purchased a used Macintosh G4 which came with Mathematica. I am a college student, and one of the classes I'm taking this symester is Prepatory Mathematics. Next symester I'll be taking College Algebra. What I'm wondering is: is Mathematica a suitable program for these rather low-level courses, or is it much too advanced? I really want to absorb Algebra, but I'm simply not sure if this is the right tool for the stage I'm at. My professor recommended the website but unfortunately it appears to be Windows-only. Also, how does the licensing work? Will I have to contact the person I purchased the computer from, or will I have to re-register? I know there is a student discount available, but I don't know if I'd have to buy that or not. Sorry for the neophyte questions, hopefully someone can help. Thanks!
some of these books will be on reserve at the PAMS library in Davey Lab. Course description: We live in a three-dimensional world defined by the passage of time, so it should not surprise us that many of the equations describing that world are partial differential equations (PDEs). The purpose of this course is to introduce you to these important equations - their origins, their applications, in some cases how to solve them, or at least what can be said about them mathematically. We will develop the mathematical theory of PDEs, and systematically explore several of the most well-known cases. One theme of the course will be the relationship between the mathematical properties of the equations and their physical basis; in many instances physical intuition corresponds surprisingly well to the mathematical aspects of the solution to the PDE. There is not one technique for solving PDEs, but many - depending for instance if it is more like a wave equation (hyperbolic) or a heat equation (parabolic). Many of the topics we will cover can be classified under what the text calls ``flows, vibrations, and diffusions". In addition we will cover expansions in orthogonal functions, eigenvalue theory, some aspects of functional analysis, the use of Fourier and Laplace transforms to solve PDEs, and the notion of weak derivatives. The structure of the course will follow the main text (Strauss), including most of Chapters 1-7 and 9-12, with some selections from Chapters 13-14 depending on student interests.

Product Reviews Principles from Patterns: Algebra 1 Student Book 4.5 5 2 2 My daughter, when she first opened the book was skeptical and said she didn't want to do it. Then she sat down and started answering the problems with ease and ended up really enjoying her math. She doesn't care to do math, but now it is an enjoyable subject for her. Thank you. August 14, 2009 I am giving this book a 4, not 5, only because we are only about 1/4 done, so I am not sure how it will end up going for us till we are done. But let me say this, I have tried Abeka, Saxon and a couple of other algebra books for my home schooled, high school junior son, and this book so far, is BY FAR BETTER for him than any of those others. There has been no frustration for either one of us with this book so far. I do the lessons also, to be able to help if needed, and let me say, when I took algebra in high school in the 70's I never understood how to do it, nor really cared to work hard to understand it.. I am able to do it with this book - easily! I say if you have a student, who like my son, struggles with higher math, then try this book and see if it also works for you. January 24, 2008

Graphics are an essential part of any scientific software package. Two particular advantages of using Mathematica graphics for visualization are that: 1) the Mathematica programming language is coherent and graphics primitives are a fundamental part of the language and 2) Mathematica's extensive numerical and symbolic capabilities allow one to produce graphics that are very hard to produce using any other tool. This tutorial, which builds on the "Introduction to Mathematica Graphics" tutorial, will focus on the use of Mathematica graphics, in combination with Mathematica programming techniques, to demonstrate the use of Mathematica as an advanced and powerful tool for computer graphics.
Assuming that these students are new to programming (which is quite likely for math students), you'll want to give them a basic introduction to programming (what a function is, what a variable is, how each of these differ from functions and variables in math, etc). Show them some example programs, with a view to things that will be helpful for math: numerical methods, matrix multiplication, etc. You are going to have to decide what you want to show them. If you want to show them how to using a computer can be a useful tool in mathematics show them sage and how you can perform numerical methods with it to get answers to hard questions. Then manipulate some algebraic formulas with it. Maybe show how it can whip through hard integrals and derivatives without sweating. They will be nearing the end of some of their first calulus courses after all. None of this displays why they need to know how to program of course. This just shows how useful other people's programming is for them to use. While you do have the full power of python in sage the reality is the odd "for loop" and some "if statements" is really all of the programming most mathematicians will do with sage most of the time (though there is a significant minority who will do a lot more). If you want to go down this road I would suggest you try to get your hands on one of the Experimental mathematics books( These are the guys who (amongst many other interesting results) came up with BBP numbers: which is the way to find arbitrary digits of pi. They mostly use maple and mathematica but most of this work translates to sage. I would strongly suggest you don't show them how to actually implement numerical methods themselves. Very few mathematicians are writing programs to solve numerical problems. Most just plug their programs into other people's programs. So I don't think showing how they could implement these methods themselves, if only they knew how to program, will excite anyone. If this were me I think I would probably give a seminar building a simple game plugin for cgsuite ( I recognize that this is java and not python but their are a lot of advantages to this approach. First young mathematicians always get excited by combinatorial game theory. You are fundamentally showing them how they can use math to always win at certain games. It's like you are giving them a super power. Second, you are implementing the rules of a game in a program. Game rules are great ways to learn programming idioms because they translate so directly into programming concepts. And finally, you end up with a tool that can play your game perfectly. 90 minutes is a long time for a seminar as far as I'm concerned. If you can end on a bang, like with 10 minutes of playing a game against a computer, they will leave excited instead of bored and drained. I would recommend solving a few different kinds of problems from Project Euler in Python and having a discussion about the solutions, how they could have been done differently to be more efficient, etc. as part of the seminar. Python is a very elegant language for solving mathematical problems and should be one of those easier understood than most by mathematics students, so I think you made a good choice there. I'm assuming this is for Freshmen (only because most higher level Math students will likely know how to program)? If so, do something that is fun and relevant. Go through the basics, but maybe walk them through the logic / basic framework for a Game (which are heavily math oriented) or Python-Based Graphing Calculator. If you want to get them real geeked though, show them Mathematica. I know, it's not what you selected ... but when I was a Sophomore Math major and first saw what you could do with it, I was in love.

The Calculus Diaries: How Math Can Help You Lose Weight, Win in Vegas, and Survive a Zombie Apocalypse Book Description: Kiss My Math meets A Tour of the Calculus Jennifer Ouellette never took math in college, mostly because she-like most people-assumed that she wouldn't need it in real life. But then the English-major-turned-award-winning-science-writer had a change of heart and decided to revisit the equations and formulas that had haunted her for years. The Calculus Diaries is the fun and fascinating account of her year spent confronting her math phobia head on. With wit and verve, Ouellette shows how she learned to apply calculus to everything from gas mileage to dieting, from the rides at Disneyland to shooting craps in Vegas-proving that even the mathematically challenged can learn the fundamentals of the universal language

This account of basic manifold theory and global analysis, based on senior undergraduate and post-graduate courses at Glasgow University for students and researchers in theoretical physics, has been proven over many years. The treatment is rigorous yet less condensed than in books written primarily for pure mathematicians. Prerequisites include knowledge of basic linear algebra and topology. Topology is included in two appendices because many courses on mathematics for physics students do not include this subject. This text for advanced undergraduates and graduates reading applied mathematics, electrical, mechanical, or control engineering, employs block diagram notation to highlight comparable features of linear differential and difference equations, a unique feature found in no other book. The treatment of transform theory (Laplace transforms and z-transforms) encourages readers to think in terms of transfer functions, i.e. algebra rather than calculus. This contrives short-cuts whereby steady-state and transient solutions are determined from simple operations on the transfer functions. This updated bestseller provides an introduction to programming interactive computer graphics, with an emphasis on game development using DirectX 11. The book is divided into three main parts: basic mathematical tools, fundamental tasks in Direct3D, and techniques and special effects. It includes new Direct3D 11 features such as hardware tessellation and the compute shader, and covers advanced rendering techniques such as ambient occlusion, normal and displacement mapping, shadow rendering, particle systems, and character animation. Now, it is easier than ever before to understand complex mathematical concepts and formulas and how they relate to real-world business situations. All you have to do it apply the handy information you will find in Business Math For Dummies. Featuring practical practice problems to help you expand your skills, this book covers topics like using percents to calculate increases and decreases, applying basic algebra to solve proportions, and working with basic statistics to analyze raw data. Find solutions for finance and payroll applications, including reading financial statements, calculating wages and commissions, and strategic salary planning.
MCS 201: Mathematics for Middle-School Teachers (Spring 2014) Usefull Links Course Syllabus Overview In Minnesota, at teacher with a middle level endorsement for teaching mathematics in grades 5 through 8 must demonstrate knowledge of fundamental concepts of mathematics and the the connections among them. These concepts include concepts of patterns, relations, and functions, concepts of number sense, and concepts of shape and space. This course is designed to help you develop your ability to reason mathematically while learning these concepts. Student Learning Objectives use a variety of problem-solving strategies to investigate, solve, explain and extend mathematical problems in algebra, number theory, geometry, and discrete math, read and understand mathematical proofs, and make both informal and formal arguments in algebra, number theory, geometry and discrete math. In particular, you will know (and be able to use) several proof techniques, including induction, direct proofs, and indirect proofs. Required Text Number, Shape, and Symmetry, by Diane Herrmann and Paul Sally,Jr. Reading assignments for each day of class are posted on the Moodle page for this course. To help you prepare for class, you will complete a reading reflection sheet and turn it in electronically by 8:00 am in the morning before class. Classes and Homework Classes will be used for lectures, problem solving, discussions, and other fun activities. Reading and homework assignments are posted on the course Moodle page. Since classes, reading assignments, and homework are designed to help you learn and practice doing mathematics, they will not be graded. Note that in this course, you are both capable of and expected to learn some of the material on your own; not every topic in the reading or homework will be covered in class. Class attendance, both physical and mental, is required. Should you need to miss a class for any reason, you are still responsible for the material covered in that class. This means that you will need to make sure that you understand the reading for that day, that you should ask a friend for the notes from that day, and make sure that you understand what was covered. If there is an assignment due that day, you should be sure to have a friend hand it in or put it in my departmental mailbox (in Olin 312). You do not need to tell me why you missed a class unless there is a compelling reason for me to know. If you have a serious emergency that means you will need to miss an exam, you should be sure to notify me by 8:00 am of the day of the exam. Should you miss more than four classes, no matter what the reason, I reserve the right to lower your grade by at least a third. Homework assignments should reflect your own work. You are welcome to discuss the homework with your classmates but each of you should write up the solutions by yourself. If you do talk with other classmates, you should acknowledge this in your written work. Looking for (and using) solutions over the internet is not allowed as it will not help you learn and understand the material. Using sources other than your textbook, your classmates, and me will be considered cheating. Portfolios Throughout the semester you will keep a portfolio of work that demonstrates what you've learned and how your understanding of the material has grown. Approximately every other week, you will be asked to hand in your portfolio and include a particular type of work - for example, a revised homework problem, a list of definitions, etc. Tests There will be four tests: three in-term exams and a final exam. These tests will be your opportunity to show how well you have mastered the material. The in-term exams are tentatively scheduled to be given on Thursday, March 6, Thursday, March 27, and Monday, April 12. The final will be a two hour, comprehensive exam. It is scheduled for Saturday, May 24 at 8:00am. Course grade Your grade is a measure of your learning and growth in the course, rather than a set of points to be "earned" or "lost." Viewed this way, a grade shows the extent to which you have mastered and can communicate important concepts and ideas. Not all work is graded – you do many things in a course that contribute to your learning: reading, writing, revising, thinking, talking, and listening. It is useful to think of work, then, as the set of activities that contribute to learning. Graded work is that subset of activities where you show how well you have learned to reason mathematically and how well you can communicate your reasoning to others. The graded course components will contribute to your grade in the following proportion: Portfolio problems 20% In-term exams 51% (17% each) Final 29% Letter grades are assigned using the following table. A 93-100 A- 90-92.9 mastery of the material with developed insight B+ 87 -89.9 B 83-86.9 B- 80 -82.9 mastery with limited insight C+ 77-79.9 C 73 -76.9 C- 70-72.9 basic knowledge with limited mastery D+ 67-69.9 D 60- 66.9 F 0-59.9 minimal to unacceptable performance Academic Integrity You are expected to to adhere to the highest standards of academic honesty, to uphold the Gustavus Honor Code and to abide by the Academic Honesty Policy. A copy of the honor code can be found in the Academic Bulletin and a copy of the academic honesty policy can be found in the Academic Polices section of the Gustavus Guide. On the homework problems, I encourage you to discuss problems and their solutions with each other. However, each of you should first make a real effort to solve each problem by yourself. Furthermore, each of you should write up the solutions individually. Note that you may not consult sources other than the text, your classmates, and me. On exams, you are expected to work completely by yourself and use only the allowed sources. You will be expected to sign the honor pledge on homework and exams. The first violation of this policy will result in a 0 on that assignment and notification of the Dean of Faculty. Further violations will result in failing the course. Disability Services Gustavus Adolphus College is committed to ensuring the full participation of all students in its programs. If you have a documented disability (or you think you may have a disability of any nature) and, as a result, need reasonable academic accommodation to participate in class, take tests or benefit from the College's services, then you should speak with the Disability Services Coordinator, for a confidential discussion of your needs and appropriate plans. Course requirements cannot be waived, but reasonable accommodations may be provided based on disability documentation and course outcomes. Accommodations cannot be made retroactively; therefore, to maximize your academic success at Gustavus, please contact Disability Services as early as possible. Disability Services is located in the Academic Support Center." Help for Students Whose First Language is not English Support for English Language Learners and Multilingual students is available through the Academic Support Center and the Multilingual/English Language Learner Academic Support Specialist, Laura Lindell (or x7197). She can meet individually with students for tutoring in writing, consulting about academic tasks, and helping students connect with the College's support systems. When requested, she can consult with faculty regarding effective classroom strategies for ELL and multilingual students. Laura can provide students with a letter to a professor that explains and supports appropriate academic arrangements (e.g., additional time on tests, additional revisions for papers). Professors make decisions based on those recommendations at their own discretion. In addition, ELL and multilingual students can seek help from peer tutors in the Writing Center. Help for any student who is struggling Your ability to succeed in this course is not predetermined. If you do not think you're learning as much as you should be, or if your class performance doesn't reflect the work you're putting into the course, please come to see me in my office. We will work together to identify ways that you can learn more effectively.

Using a wide range of examples throughout the book, Jeffrey illustrates how to construct simple mathematical models, how to apply mathematical reasoning to select a particular solution from a range of possible alternatives, and how to determine which solution has physical significance. Jeffrey includes material that is not found in works of a similar nature, such as the use of the matrix exponential when solving systems of ordinary differential equations. The text provides many detailed, worked examples following the introduction of each new idea, and large problem sets provide both routine practice, and, in many cases, greater challenge and insight for students. Most chapters end with a set of computer projects that require the use of any CAS (such as "Maple" or "Mathematica") that reinforce ideas and provide insight into more advanced problems. A Student Solutions Manual is also available. * Comprehensive coverage of frequently used integrals, functions and fundamental mathematical results * Contents selected and organized to suit the needs of students, scientists, and engineers * Contains tables of Laplace and Fourier transform pairs * New section on numerical approximation * New section on the z-transform * Easy reference system

Mathematics is the only language shared by all human beings regardless of culture, religion, or gender. Pi is still approximately 3.14159... regardless of what country you are in. Adding up the cost of a basket full of groceries involves the same math process regardless of whether the total is expressed in dollars, rubles, or yen. With this universal language, all of us, no matter what our unit of exchange, are likely to arrive at math results the same way. Very few people, if any, are literate in all the world's tongues—English, Chinese, Arabic, Bengali, and so on. But virtually all of us possess the ability to be "literate" in the shared language of math. This math literacy is called numeracy, and it is this shared language of numbers that connects us with people across continents and through time. With this language we can explain the mysteries of the universe or the secrets of DNA. We can understand the forces of planetary motion, discover cures for catastrophic diseases,... read more 1. Always read math problems completely before beginning any calculations. If you "glance" too quickly at a problem, you may misunderstand what really needs to be done to complete the problem. 2. Whenever possible, draw a diagram. Even though you may be able to visualize the situation mentally, a hand drawn diagram will allow you to label the picture, to add auxiliary lines, and to view the situation from different perspectives. 3. Know your calculator! These days upper math courses use a TI-83 or TI-89 so make sure you have a good grasp of how yours operates. If you must borrow a calculator from your teacher, be sure that you have used that "brand" of calculator on previous occasions. If you are not familiar with how a particular calculator works, your calculations may be incorrect. 4. If you know that your answer to a question is incorrect, and you cannot find your mistake, start over on a clean piece of paper. Oftentimes when you try to correct a problem, you continually... read more
