Kids are struggling with math in school, on tests, and with homework. Parents feel stressed, helpless, and math-phobic. They struggle to encourage and assist on the very subject they are least prepared to manage: MATH.
Broken down using straightforward, simple language, this guide offers parents who are easily intimidated by math instructive and handy concepts to use when helping their students with homework or studying for a big test.
Parents banish math phobia once and for all by facing math head-on in Math for Moms and Dads. Frequently, the issue isn't "how to," it's actually "what do they want me to do?" Learning the language of math in context is the first step in the right direction for helping yourself in today's math morass so parents can help their child find his or her way out of any math quagmire.
Using a similar methodology applied in SAT Score-Raising Math Dictionary, Kaplan now focuses on the parent in this no-nonsense guide to the lexicon of math. Math terminology and key concepts are defined and decoded into regular, everyday language to promote authentic understanding of what's at the heart of any math problem.
Other helpful elements are sample problems (with answers, so parents won't sweat it!) broken down step-by-step; calculator tips so parents can troubleshoot technology-related concerns facing their kids; visual representations of math for visual learners; and National Council of Teachers of Mathematics standards so parents can plan for what their children are responsible for in the upcoming grade and get the help they may need in the appropriate time frame. Finally, a handy timeline detailing which ages/grades kids need to know and master certain math skills helps parents understand the overall math snapshot for the middle school and high school years ahead.
Parents (and then students) learn how to kick word problems to the curb once they figure out how to simplify the language of math with Math for Moms and Dads' easy-to-follow lexicon and resource guide.
In recent years, airline practitioners and academics have started to explore new ways to model airline passenger demand using discrete choice methods. This book provides an introduction to discrete choice models and uses extensive examples to illustrate how these models have been used in the airline industry. These examples span network planning, revenue management, and pricing applications. Numerous examples of fundamental logit modeling concepts are covered in the text, including probability calculations, value of time calculations, elasticity calculations, nested and non-nested likelihood ratio tests, etc. The core chapters of the book are written at a level appropriate for airline practitioners and graduate students with operations research or travel demand modeling backgrounds. Given the majority of discrete choice modeling advancements in transportation evolved from urban travel demand studies, the introduction first orients readers from different backgrounds by highlighting major distinctions between aviation and urban travel demand studies. This is followed by an in-depth treatment of two of the most common discrete choice models, namely the multinomial and nested logit models. More advanced discrete choice models are covered, including mixed logit models and generalized extreme value models that belong to the generalized nested logit class and/or the network generalized extreme value class. An emphasis is placed on highlighting open research questions associated with these models that will be of particular interest to operations research students. Practical modeling issues related to data and estimation software are also addressed, and an extensive modeling exercise focused on the interpretation and application of statistical tests used to guide the selection of a preferred model specification is included; the modeling exercise uses itinerary choice data from a major airline. The text concludes with a discussion of on-going customer modeling research in aviation. "Discrete Choice Modelling and Air Travel Demand" is enriched by a comprehensive set of technical appendices that will be of particular interest to advanced students of discrete choice modeling theory. The appendices also include detailed proofs of the multinomial and nested logit models and derivations of measures used to represent competition among alternatives, namely correlation, direct-elasticities, and cross-elasticities. ...The field of discrete calculus, also known as "discrete exterior calculus", focuses on finding a proper set of definitions and differential operators that make it possible to operate the machinery of multivariate calculus on a finite, discrete space. In contrast to traditional goals of finding an accurate discretization of conventional multivariate calculus, discrete calculus establishes a separate, equivalent calculus that operates purely in the discrete space without any reference to an underlying continuous process. This unique text brings together into a single framework current research in the three areas of discrete calculus, complex networks, and algorithmic content extraction. Although there have been a few intersections in the literature between these disciplines, they have developed largely independently of one another, yet researchers working in any one of these three areas can strongly benefit from the tools and techniques being used in the others. Many example applications from several fields of computational science are provided to demonstrate the usefulness of this framework to a broad range of problems. Readers are assumed to be familiar with the basics of vector calculus, graph theory, and linear algebra.
Math Matters, first published in 2000, quickly became an invaluable resource for math educators nationwide, helping them clarify their own understanding of the math concepts they are required to teach. This important book contains activities and discussions on key elementary topics such as whole number computation, fractions, algebra, geometry, and measurement. The scope in this second edition has now been expanded to address key topics in the middle school math curriculum as well, including sections on integers, exponents, similarity, the Pythagorean Theorem, and more.

took Calc I and Calc II in my freshman year as part of my microbiology degree. I actually really, really enjoyed it, enough to seriously consider switching majors. Every time I grasped a concept it blew my mind... (I basically looked like this in lecture all the time.) But I hated the stress, anxiety, and (self imposed) pressure to perform... it was just too hard in the traditional college setting. So I stuck with the squishy germy stuff.
I'm two years past that fateful semester, which is apparently enough time to slap on the rose-colored glasses. I'm discovering that I'm interested in:
what is linear algebra and why is fourth-semester calc a prerequisite? I was under the impression that what I did in pre-calc was "linear algebra" but clearly something better is hiding behind that title.
non-Euclidean geometry. Geometry in general. Proofs and shit. I've never really been exposed to this except in a really roundabout way, but it seems veeery interesting.
number theory. I don't even really know what this is, as a field, but I've seen some eye-opening links posted to /r/math that supposedly fall in this category.
anything that relies heavily on visualization or can be visualized is pretty much guaranteed to entertain me for hours.
Tl;dr: what should I read and where can I find it? What types of things should I read? (I'll totally shell out for college textbooks if that's the best way to explore these concepts, but I'm wondering if there are other avenues too.)
What is linear algebra, and why is fourth semester calculus a prerequisite?
There is no reason why calculus is needed for any introduction to linear algebra; some universities teach a calculus sequence before linear algebra to engineers, but the order can be easily swapped.
Linear algebra begins with investigating a very practical question: solving systems of linear equations. There may be many equations in many unknown variables, but the important thing is that these equations are all linear.
This is a practical question because systems of linear equations can be used to model many real processes. For a simple example, we may be cooking for a dining hall, and we let our unknowns represent quantities of ingredients. Then it may take 3x + 4y ingredients to equal 1 final product. Perhaps we need at least 10 of these, so we want 3x + 4y >= 10. And perhaps we do this for several other menu options. But we know that x costs $5 and y costs $10, so the cost would be 5x + 10y. One might want to minimize cost yet still satisfy those other linear inequalities, so that enough food and variety is provided. Strictly speaking, this problem is not solving a system of linear equations. Rather, it is a problem of linear programming, which people have studied extensively in the fields of mathematics and computer science (and their intersection fields, like operations research). However, you can already see from the Wikipedia entry that it borrows a lot of notation and theory from linear algebra, and that it is certainly useful.
From a mathematical viewpoint, linear algebra branches out to study a more abstract concept, that of linear transformations. If you are to study linear algebra, it is actually a very good idea to keep an eye on the transition from the practical idea of solving equations to the more abstract ideas of vector spaces and linear transformations; the buildup may be more subtle than you thought.
Now, if you want to learn more about the subject itself, one very good resource is MIT professor Gilbert Strang's video lectures. He teaches linear algebra in a passionate and deep way. Some of what he says one can appreciate more coming back to the material a second time, but it is very comprehensive and will teach you what you need to know to move further. It turns out that understanding linear algebra very well is a strong prerequisite to understanding much of the algebra of modern mathematics.
What is non-Euclidean geometry?
Unfortunately, I have not had the time to learn about these subjects. (One semester I signed up for a course on this, but it was cancelled.) Here's a very rough explanation upon which others can build.
Incredibly, Euclid was able to prove many theorems in geometry starting with just 5 axioms (and some definitions). I haven't read much of the Elements, and I confess that geometry is somewhat of a weak point for me, but it's still an unbelievable achievement. These 5 axioms form the basis for what we call Euclidean geometry. Of these axioms, there is one that seems more complicated than the others, called the parallel postulate. Non-Euclidean geometry, as I've been told, takes off by asking the question, what happens if some of Euclid's axioms (in particular the parallel postulate) is relaxed or otherwise changed.
Personally, I do find this idea intriguing but have never had the time or motivation to study it in depth. I will caution you that if you are just beginning higher mathematics, learning something like linear algebra will open yourself up to new areas, while learning something like geometry without a broader background will (in my humble opinion) close you off from a lot of mathematics before you've even started.
That said, a lot of interesting and important stuff in geometry! I always use Sylvester's theorem as an example of something I would never have been able to think of or prove. In geometry of higher dimensions, for instance, much active work is still ongoing (most recently, I remember hearing that the Hirsch conjecture has finally been disproved). But even in this area, knowing linear algebra is sort of a prerequisite!
What is number theory?
This is an area that I've promised myself to understand better. There is a quote attributed to Gauss that goes along the lines of:
Mathematics is the queen of the sciences and number theory is the queen of mathematics.
Number theory is the study of integers, relationships between them, patterns among them. The study of prime numbers belongs to number theory. Many easily stated yet unsolved conjectures abound. One example is Goldbach's conjecture and another is the twin prime's conjecture. A famous example of a proved theorem in number theory is Fermat's last theorem. What is impressive is that many problems in number theory are simple to state and understand, but their solutions are deep, difficult, or unknown.
Probably the best way to begin learning number theory is to find some sort of beginning book on elementary number theory. That's likely the path I will take if I ever find enough time and motivation. You'll begin with studying divisibility, modular arithmetic, and the like.
Absolutely phenomenal that you took the time to write that out. I appreciated it a lot even though my understanding of math is barely past high-school level. I have recently become more and more interested in math though and have started working through my high school math books with the hopes of maybe one day at least understand the basics of things like you talk about. Even the simplest math concepts, when you understand them, are so profound and beautiful.
It has a pretty comprehensive collection of links to other math blogs. I'm not sure how useful those would be to the OP as a lot of the stuff is research-related, and the lecture notes are usually from graduate courses.
MIT OCW would have a lot of material to study. The really awesome thing about books are they have tons and tons of exercises in them. Exercises are how you learn.
Neither number theory nor non-euclidean geometry are really a good starting place for you, mathematically. They're both gonna use concepts you're probably not familiar with, and also possibly an overwhelming level of rigor (although there are elementary number theory texts). In your path to learn more about mathematics, the first thing you need to tackle is learning to do it rigorously. And there's no way other than reading a book and doing plenty of exercises. One recommendation is Spivak's Calculus. You will be re-learning what's a limit, derivative, integral etc. but in a different light. If you don't feel like doing calculus again (though I assure you it'll probably be very different from what you saw), you could start with basic topology or algebra. I'd recommend, respectively, Introduction to topology and modern analysis by Simmons and Abstract Algebra by Dummit & Foote. Just take a look at these subject's wiki pages and try to tell which one you like the most. But be careful to choose a rigorous book.
Topology. What is topology? I forgot to include that in my list... I saw a mug for sale ("a great gift for your topologist friend") imprinted with the word "doughnut" and I got the joke, but then I wanted to know about other shapes. :(
Also, what is meant by rigor? Lots of applications and actual equation solving and not so much finger-waving and pretty pictures?
I figured some of the things I listed weren't good starting points, so thanks for the suggestion on how to get there :) I'm pretty sure I can teach myself most of calculus out of a book, with a little bit of help.
By rigor I meant axiomatization of the subject, followed by deduction of theorems from the definitions and axioms. So yeah, pretty much without hand-waving and "showing by picture". It's hard to describe what's topology. If you pick up Simmons, you will start studying metric spaces, which is a sort of space where we can talk about distance. You talk about limits and continuous applications (in those general spaces), and some kinds of sets (open, closed, ...). Then that notion gets generalized to an arbitrary topological space.
If you need any help, I'm willing to do whatever I can, just PM me or something.
Well I would disagree but then it's probably just personal opinion. I find topology to be rather dull with most of it boiling down to abstract definitions that never really go anywhere but then I'm not far in to the book. On the other hand with a basic book on Number Theory one is instantly in the action discovering theorems about primes and their uses and some rather beautiful little proofs about this and that. It's also worth noting that a good grasp on the basics of Number Theory is usually required for the proofs in Abstract Algebra.
Can't agree more on Spivak's Calculus though. If only all books were this well written.
In my opinion, it's more interesting to wait until you have the tools of algebra and some analysis (and mathematical maturity) to do number theory. Abstract algebra surely doesn't logically depend on number theory. Maybe knowing number theory (since it overlaps so much with algebra) would make you a little more familiarized and help you grasp the proofs, but not much. Plus, topology isn't boring. It's a lot of fun, but if you haven't done analysis some concepts can feel unmotivated.
Don't skip the basics. You will never understand abstract algebra without a grasp of reading proofs. You'll never understand combinatorics without a grasp of probability theory.
In my opinion, if you want to really learn math, first learn how to prove things. Understand the language of mathematics, know how to prove things using contraposition, contradiction, and induction. Once you're comfortable with that, take a look at linear algebra. Not so much about solving systems of equations with matrices, but understanding properties of vector spaces and linear transformations. From there, I would expand into the world of differential equations and partial differential equations, learn the ways to solve a differential equation first and then go on to look at the heat, wave, and potential equations. Really grasp what's going on.
Check UniversityOfReddit, there are high-level math courses on there from time to time. I myself intend to run one or two in the next year.
Here are some textbook recommendations. You can take them out from a university library or find them online (Library Genesis).
Curtis, Linear Algebra
Solomon, Abstract Algebra
Hungerford, Abstract Algebra: An Introduction
Curtis-Reiner, Representation Theory of Finite Groups and Associative Algebras (most of this will probably go over your head, but it's very well written and you'll get a lot out of however much you do understand)
Munkres, Topology
Needham, Visual Complex Analysis
Rosen-Ireland, A Classical Introduction to Modern Number Theory
Spivak's Calculus and Calculus on Manifolds are supposed to be very good, but I've never read them myself.
It ends with you feeling wonderful about the universe (at least for me it is like that).
Dat eigenvalues!
BTW May I suggest this Wikibook on Linear Algebra? Also the whole category on WB. (On a second look it doesn't look all that great, but may be helpful (edit: it is actually great, but as any wiki it has rough edges))
Number theory begins like studying prime numbers, and I have no idea on how advanced number theory is supposed to be.
I'm taking an elementary number theory course right now and am so excited all the time about it. It's so cool!
In first year, we had a very, very basic introduction to number theory, and we used this textbook: "Introduction to Mathematical Thinking: Algebra and Number Systems" by Gilbert and Vanstone. The textbook is awesome, starts from very basic things and then just kind of ... sprawls, allowing you to get a taste of a lot of things and tying them up nicely. The book also gently introduces the idea of a "proof" in the first chapter (I think it's the first chapter) and explains some frequently used techniques (such as 'proof by contradiction' and whatnot).
Now, I'm taking an elementary number theory course and the textbook I like to read is Burton's "Elementary Number Theory". It's written in the standard "definition, theorem, proof, occasional example" style, but is not a boring read at all! There are some cute historical sections and the occasional picture :) It is by far the best elementary number theory textbook I've come across.
If you would like a very basic introduction to number theory with lots of examples, funny stories, and pictures, I suggest: "Number Theory: A lively introduction with proofs, applications, and stories" by Pommersheim, Marks, and Flapan.
If you really want to learn a lot of cool math, I suggest learning some basic combinatorics and graph theory. I don't have any textbook suggestions, because the classes I've taken on them just had amazing course notes available to current students for free, but there are a lot of really cool elementary topics in both of those fields (like cool uses of generating functions (you can COUNT things using polynomials and weird manipulations on them! How cool is that?!) and graph colorings). |

Review ... students and researchers in elementary particle physics should seriously consider having this book in their personal library, partly to be able to look at the many pictures and brief biographies of their favorite elementary particle physicists, and partly to learn Veltman's incisive thinking on obscure or unsettled areas in particle physics ... there are plenty of popular books on dark matter, dark energy, black holes, and cosmology, but relatively few straightforward yet fascinating popular books on elementary particle physics, so in this sense Veltman's book is exactly what is needed. -- American Journal of Physics
The aim of this book is to present some ideas, methods and topics in elementary combinatorial geometry. Even if most of the book can be understood without any mathematical background, so it is accessible for 12-14 years old children too, we recommend it to high school students and college students as an introduction to a few topics in combinatorial (or convex) geometry (counting problems, pigeonhole principle, Helly's theorem, Sperner lemma). Our approach is basically an elementary one, but it is useful to know some combinatorial techniques (such as the product rule, mathematical induction, recursive counting, double counting, etc.) and some basic notions (number of permutations, binomial coefficients). These notions appear in the subject index, so they can be identified easily. Some problems (Helly's theorem, Sperner lemma, etc.) are formulated both in R^2 and in R^3 to help the understanding of analogies and to show some directions of generalization. Almost all of these problems can be solved even in R^n, but we presented only their 2 or 3 dimensional version, for a better understanding of the main ideas, without the complications of the tools necessary in higher dimensions. Some problems we present here are classical ones, some are from regional contests and from different levels of the mathematical olympiads and some are extracted from articles (and formulated in low dimension). The main purpose was not to create an exhaustive col1ection, but to offer a quick and short overview, to present a few properties which have surprising applications also in higher mathematics (the Sperner lemma) and to show some interesting ways of generalizations. So this book wants to be a kind of bridge between elementary problems and university courses etc....

Factoring Polynomials: Objectives
Factoring is an essential skill for success in algebra and higher level mathematics courses. Therefore, we have taken great care in developing the student's understanding of the factorization process. The technique is consistently illustrated by displaying an empty set of parentheses and describing the thought process used to discover the terms that are to be placed inside the parentheses.
The factoring scheme for special products is presented with both verbal and symbolic descriptions, since not all students can interpret symbolic descriptions alone. Two techniques, the standard "trial and error" method, and the "collect and discard" method (a method similar to the "ac" method), are presented for factoring trinomials with leading coefficients different from 1.
This module contains the objectives of the chapter "Factoring Polynomials |

a distinguished mathematician, the dozen absorbing essays in this versatile volume offer both supplementary classroom material and pleasurable reading for the mathematically inclined. The essays promise to encourage readers in the further study of elementary geometry, not just for its own sake, but also for its broader applications, which receive a full and engaging treatment. Beginning with an analytic approach, the author reviews the functions of Schlafli and Lobatschefsky and discusses number theory in a dissertation on integral Cayley numbers. A detailed examination of group theory includes discussion of Wythoff's construction for uniform polytopes, as well as a chapter on regular skew polyhedra in three and four dimensions and their topological analogues. A profile of self-dual configurations and regular graphs introduces elements of graph theory, followed up with a chapter on twelve points in PG (5, 3) with 95040 self-transformations. Discussion of an upper bound for the number of equal nonoverlapping spheres that can touch another same-sized sphere develops aspects of communication theory, while relativity theory is explored in a chapter on reflected light signals. Additional topics include the classification of zonohedra by means of projective diagrams, arrangements of equal spheres in non-Euclidean spaces, and regular honeycombs in hyperbolic space. Stimulating and thought-provoking, this collection is sure to interest students, mathematicians, and any math buff with its lucid treatment of geometry and the crucial role geometry can play in a wide range of mathematical applications.

Starting points are often elementary but conclusions and connections are worthwile aven for today mathematics. I recommend it for graduates in mathematics, especially those interested in group theory, discrete/finite geometry, non-euclidean geometry as a very inspiring book giving a sense of unity in those parts of mathematics. |

Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Some students in my precalculus class are very weak in algebra. . . . The 'Algebra Help' is definitely beneficial to students . . . [as are the] 'Warning/Cautions' which help those students avoid common mistakes that others make. [And] the 'Student Tips' really guide students in what they should recognize after an example is presented. . . . Larson's text is among the best precalculus books [I've found]."
"I am very satisfied with the exercises as well as the review exercises, they are helpful and there is a range of easy, medium, and hard problems. There is a wealth of example problems and I can easily find examples that show where common algebraic mistakes occur. . . . The use of different colored text makes them very easy to understand."

Very solid
I am currently a freshman in high school, and am taking Trig/Precal. Last year I took one semester of Algebra II. These 3 semesters are covered within this book. It is coherently written, and gives you all the necessary information for Calculus. The chapters flow very well, so the course(s) can be taught from beginning to end (although our semester of Precal jumps from chapter 3 to 10 to 9 to 7 to 8...). The problems that it gives increase in difficulty, to the point where some need you to know another formula, or for you to think outside the box. By doing these, you can also prove theorems, and have a better understanding of why things work (like the relationship between 'n choose r and Pascal's Triangle') Granted, I have never used any other precalculus textbook, I still feel that this one is much more solid than textbooks of the past.

This book was so memorable that all I can remember about it was the ugly boring cover. It was so inspiring that I never bothered keeping it. I think I sold it back to the bookstore for like $20. But all in all, its your typical text on the topic. Nothing fancy or special about it, but it does the job. It helped to get me an A in the class so what more can I ask?

AP Math and Computer science can stand for many distinct Advanced Placement Math & Computer science high school students, provided by the College Board: - AP Calculus AB is traditionally taken after precalculus and is the first calculus course offered at most schools except for the regular calculus class. The Pre-Advanced Placement pathway for math will help prepare students for further Advanced Placement classes and exams. - Calculus BC is a full-year course in the calculus of functions of a single variable. It includes all topics covered in Calculus AB plus additional topics...Students who take an AP Calculus course should do so with the intention of placing out of a comparable college calculus course - Advanced Placement Computer Science is meant to be the equivalent of a first-semester course in computer science The AP exam currently tests students on their knowledge of Java. - Advanced Placement Statistics (AP Statistics, AP Stat or AP Stats) is equivalent to a one semester, non-calculus-based introductory college statistics course and is normally offered to juniors and seniors in high school.

An Episodic History of Mathematics: Mathematical Culture Through Problem Solving
By Steven G. Krantz
An Episodic History of Mathematics delivers a series of snapshots of mathematics and mathematicians from ancient times to the twentieth century. Giving readers a sense of mathematical culture and history, the book also acquaints readers with the nature and techniques of mathematics via exercises.
The book introduces the genesis of key mathematical concepts. For example, while Krantz does not get into the intricate mathematical details of Andrew Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, he does describe some of the streams of thought that posed the problem and led to its solution. The focus in this text, moreover, is on doing'getting involved with the mathematics and solving problems. Every chapter ends with a detailed problem set that will provide students with avenues for exploration and entry into the subject.
Recounts the history of mathematics.
Offers broad coverage of the various schools of mathematical thought to give readers a wider understanding of mathematics.
Includes exercises to help readers engage with the text and gain a deeper understanding of the material.

Excerpt: Henri Poincaré, Child Phenomenon (p. 291-292)
It is not generally well known that Poincaré discovered special relativity just about the same time as Einstein. He gave a lecture on the subject at Washington University in St. Louis on the occasion of the 1904 World's Fair, a full year before Einstein's ideas appeared in print. In fact Poincaré and Einstein had a considerable rivalry in this matter, and they never acknowledged each other's work. Poincaré's ideas appear in a journal called The Monist, and they bear a remarkable similarity to textbook treatments of relativity that we see today.
Poincaré is arguably the father of topology (popularly known as "rubber sheet geometry") and also of the currently very active area of dynamical systems. He made decisive contributions to differential equations, to geometry, to complex analysis, and to many other central parts of mathematics.

Editorial Reviews
Publishers Weekly
Anyone whose memories of math class leave "the bitterest taste" will find comfort as well as insight and plenty of laughs in this informal, irreverent look at math. The first thing readers need to know is that Potter is very serious about one thing: each topic here is based on a situation one could encounter in everyday life, from doing quick mental sums while figuring out a bar tab, to calculating bank interest rates or working out the odds of winning during a Vegas vacation. His brief vignettes star everyman-student Charlie, archetypically "tyrannical" math teacher Mr. Barton, and his star pupil, "know-it-all" Bernadette. Wacky word problems (the answers are in the back) keep the flood of information in context. Potter provides historical anecdotes that reveal the origins of fractions (thank the Egyptians) and how religious edicts have affected interest and banking rules. He even offers sympathy for those wounded by algebra, whose etymology stems from the Arabic word for both the process of setting a broken bone and the moving of a term from one side of an equation to the other. For anyone who has ever felt defeated by "the dark forces of mathematics," Potter's constructive guide offers enlightenment and hope. (Nov.)
Library Journal
Math teacher Potter (This May Help You Understand the World) aims this book at readers looking to improve their understanding of basic mathematics. It is divided into three parts: arithmetic, algebra, and probability. Potter introduces the concepts with clever humor and augments the text with interesting problems and puzzles scattered throughout. Illustrative examples come from the author's time teaching math in Rwanda, which lends an international flavor to the discussion. VERDICT Parts 1 and 3 are excellent, but the algebra section is a little too cursory to be of much use to anyone not already familiar with the material. This book may prove helpful for parents home-schooling their children, especially those who want to beef up on basic mathematics beforehand. An enjoyable book, but not an essential purchase.—Harold D. Shane, Baruch Coll., CUNY
Kirkus Reviews
Potter (This May Help You Understand the World, 2008) accessibly deconstructs simple math. This Oxford graduate in classics, who has taught math in Rwanda and Romania, confesses that he had a problem doing sums in his head. That started him on his pursuit of an explanation of why so many people fear math or despair of doing even simple arithmetic. The result is a patient and gentle dissection of the rules: how and why they work; carefully worked-out examples; simple tricks to make mental calculations easier; and ample do-it-yourself problems, helpfully explicated in an appendix. True, most readers could do without the corny stereotypes: the classroom with the obnoxiously bright Bernadette versus the hopelessly disorganized Charlie (who never does get the message). But Potter rationalizes the rules with his artful use of visuals, numerical tables, squares or rectangles with grid lines to depict fractions and ways to cope with them. While most of the book deals with arithmetic, later chapters explore elementary algebra and probability theory, again demonstrating the logic of the rules. Throughout, Potter takes time to digress into math history, including brief sketches of principal thinkers, and he offers plenty of practical advice: He explains why your best bet at the roulette table is to lay down your chips on the first round and then leave the table, whether you've won or lost. Harried schoolteacher? Worried parent? Self-defined math klutz? All could profit from the text, but there is enough sophistication and wry humor in Potter's approach to appeal to more savvy readers of any age.

Transcript
Welcome to the Math section before we can start it let me tell you a little personal story. Junior year of high school I actually started working in a coffee shop in the summer. And I remember walking in and thinking, "Huh it's probably not too hard to make a bunch of people same coffee right? Huh," no it was hard. You know those people those personalized beverage choices? You know who you are things like, you know "Can you make this fat free? Oh my gosh this needs to skim and oh it's not skimmed enough. Do they make this in organic? Oh can I take out all the ingredients in this drink and still keep it the same drink?" Et cetera, et cetera more whip, this and that and I remember thinking oh my God it was so overwhelming all the different stuff involved. You know what after a couple of days I got it down I knew exactly what to expect, I knew exactly what do to. I was calm, I was relaxed and I did a great job. The Math section is exactly like this we're going to go over a lot of the concepts today briefly and we're going to look at them and think, "Oh my God that's a lot," there's a lot that's tested on the Math but don't get overwhelmed. In this course we're going to go through all the strategies and all the concepts that you need and you're going to do a great job on the Math section on test day. Remember it's really important to know the instructions ahead of time so you don't waste time reading them on day test day. So let's take a look; instructions for the Math: 'After solving each problem pick the correct answer from the five given,' five answer choices here 'And fill in the corresponding oval on your answer sheet. Solve as many problems you can in the time allowed. Do not worry over problems that take too much time skip them if necessary, return to them is you have time. Calculator use is permitted on the test. Calculators can be used for any problem on the test though calculators maybe more harm than help for some questions.' Some notes: unless otherwise stated on the test you should assume the following: First, figures accompanying questions are not drawn to scale, meaning when you have a question with a diagram attached to it they're telling you it might be longer or shorter or bigger or smaller than it looks like not drawn to scale. Next, 'geometric figures exist in a plane,' nothing funky here it's going to look like high school Math. When given in a question 'line' refers to a straight line. And when given in a question 'average' refers to the 'arithmetic mean' so 'mean' is the same thing as average. So that's the instructions let's take a look at the format. 5 multiple choice answers instead of four. Remember the other sections have four answers attached to them and in Math they're five. Also 60 questions and 60 minutes to answer the questions kind of cool this is actually the longest you'll have to answer a question on the ACT, a minute per question. Great let's look at the question types that you'll see. There's two types first a really basic problem very straight forward like this, simple algebra and we'll tackle these actual problems later. But just to see what they'll look like. If you know five X plus three equals twenty three what's twelve X minus ten? Not a lot of words, straight forward simple Math problem. Then you've got word problems these are wordy that's why they're word problems, don't worry we've got great strategies for these. But you see a bunch of words and then again your five answer choices. And that's it, those are the two styles of questions that you're going to see. We want to talk about the topics that you're going to see in the Math ACT. It's going to look like a lot as we go through and you may be feeling a little overwhelmed but don't worry. A couple of things you need to know first of all this is all stuff you reviewed in high school. So it should seem really familiar to you and we're going to review the top concepts that you'll need, so you'll feel really good about them on test day. Also on the ACT the Math questions aren't nearly as sneaky as they are on the SAT. So you'll feel really good, they're going to be really straight forward and we got some great strategies to help you get those questions right. So let's take a look at the topics. First we've got pre-algebra always 14 remember ACT is always so predictable it's great that you always know exactly what you expect from each topic on the Math section. 14 pre-algebra topics and these are things like multiples, factors, primes, absolute value, they're pretty algebra stuff you probably learned a long time ago and we'll review it. Next elementary algebra, always shows up ten times on your Math section. Things like inequalities, simplifying algebraic equations, substitution just basic algebra concepts. Next intermediate algebra these are the tougher algebra questions. A lot of students have trouble with this, but don't worry it's cool you know they're only nine and we'll go over them. These test things like quadratic equations, logarithms, functions, solving systems of equations. Next, plane geometry. These are the questions you usually think of when you think geometry, things like circles, triangles, squares okay and 14, so that's a lot of plane geometry. Next, coordinate geometry, nine of these, these are the things about lines, slopes, angles you know parallel or perpendicular lines, how equations look on a graph. And last we've got trigonometry four questions about things like SOHCAHTOA, we'll go over what that is if you need a review. And different trigonometric identities and graphs. Those are the topics tested on the Math section and how cool that you'll know exactly how many times they'll show up each time. So this really helps you, if you need to pin point your strengths and weaknesses. Look and see how many times each concept is showing up. You know, you really want to review your plane geometry if you don't feel great about it because it's showing up 14 times. Same thing with pre-algebra. On the hand if you're running out of time, you really rushing to study for this test you may not have to worry about trigs so much because it's only showing up four times. Let's recap. We talked about the instructions so you'll know exactly what you're going to see on test day and you don't have to waste any time reading them. We talked about the format again so you'll know exactly what to expect five answer choices, not four. And we've our two question types we talked about the basic ones and the word problems. And last we talked about the topics we already broke it down and talked about how predictable they really are and how often they show up. And that's how you're going to know exactly where you need to direct your time and your energy to prepare before test day. So just like my time at Star Box at that time I felt totally overwhelmed, it was pretty crazy and then afterwards, I just did it enough times and I learned about it and I felt really comfortable and confident and relaxed and I nailed it. That's exactly how you're going to be on the Math section. By the time we finish going through the Math episodes you're going to know exactly what to expect, you're going to have great strategies and you're going to do a fabulous, fabulous job on the Math part of the ACT. |

Summary: Linear algebra is relatively easy for students during the early stages of the course, when the material is presented in a familiar, concrete setting. But when abstract concepts are introduced, students often hit a brick wall. Instructors seem to agree that certain concepts (such as linear independence, spanning, subspace, vector space, and linear transformations), are not easily understood, and require time to assimi...late. Since they are fundamental to the study of linear algebra, students' understanding of these concepts is vital to their mastery of the subject. Lay introduces these concepts early in a familiar, concrete Rn setting, develops them gradually, and returns to them again and again throughout the text so that when discussed in the abstract, these concepts are more accessible.

Editorial Reviews
Booknews
Fisher Northwestern U. introduces students with a calculus background to the theory and applications of complex variables. Appends exercise solutions and mapping and transform tables. This is a slightly corrected replication of the 1990 edition, differing mainly in its treatment of Cauchy's Theorem. Lacks references 11, 2006
an excellent beginning
Fisher¿s book is ideal for a first course in complex variables: the complex plane, geometry of the plane, analytic functions (zeros, singularities, residue computations), Cauchy-and residue theorems, harmonic functions, conformal mappings, boundary value problems, applications, and a lovely last chapter on transform theory, Fourier, Laplace etc, and using contour integration. Pedagogical features: The figures and illustrations are lovely! The exercises are many and well designed. Inclusion of solutions to odd-numbered exercises represents a good compromise. The book will work well for a mixed audience, students in math, in science, and in engineering alike. The presentation starts with a review of complex numbers functions and sequences, moves quickly to central aspects of complex function theory, elementary geometry, Mobius transformations, and conformal maps. The book was published first in 1990, but reprinted since by Dover, starting in 1999. It is suitable as a text or as a supplement in a beginning course in complex function theory, at the undergraduate level. And it is suitable for self-study. While it contains the standard elements in such a course, we note that a systematic treatment of physical problems comes relatively late, in Section 4.2, beginning on page 254 (a little past halfway into the book.) Some readers might want to begin with that. There are other Dover titles on the same subject, also elementary and suitable for a first course. They are slanted differently, and in particular, they point to different applications. Fisher¿s inclusion of transform theory gives this book an edge. See however also Churchill-Brown. Other Dover books: We recommend the books by Fisher, Volkovyskii et al, Silverman, Schwerdtfeger, and Flanigan all inexpensive! These books cover the fundamentals in functions of a single complex variable: analytic, harmonic, conformal mappings, and related applications. Further, there are non-Dover books such as: (a) R. V. Churchill ¿ J. W. Brown, and (b) J. E. Marsden - M. J. Hoffman both a lot more expensive. Review by Palle Jorgensen, August, 2006.

Horrible
This book is terrible. All explanations are vague at best, and at worst insufficient information is given. One particular proof was so vague, it took the instructor three boards to fill in the missing information. Don't buy this book.

TI Professional: Pro: 1. You may use this in Actuarial exams or CFA exams. 2. Once you get used to it, it is a good calculator. Most finance textbooks gives examples using TI calculator.
Con: 1. Harder to use than Casio, but not too hard. 2. Battery supported, you should change your battery before going into the Actuarial or CFA exam if you have been using this calculator for awhile. I believe it lasts about 1-3 years.
Casio Pro: 1. More features 2. Easier to use 3. Battery and solar supported 4. Navigation feature, you can scroll up and down on few lines of display
Con: 1. You can't use this on Actuarial or CFA exams. 2. School textbooks teach you how to use financial calculator using TI, not this one.
My opinion: If you are not a hard-core finance person, getting a Casio might be better since it's easier and cheaper to use. However, as an actuary, I use TI most of the time.
If you are a Finance major, plan to take any Actuarial or CFA exams, get TI because you have no choice. (You may use HP for CFA exam, but I think people who started their career many years ago use HP, young people these days use TI)
I hope this review helped.

3.0 out of 5 starsRecommended for beginner's ONLYApril 17 2007
By Ailad - Published on Amazon.com
I teach finance at the university at undergraduate level and our department recommends using this calculator for the students. The calculator work well for fundamentals of finance classes where the number of years are even numbers and do not include decimals. I have used this calculator to calculate bonds in advance finance classes were the number of years includes decimals (i.e. 1.71786). The answers it gives you are wrong. Try solving bond valuation manually where N includes a lot of decimals and compare it with the calculator. You will find that the calculator will give you wrong answers. I had tried Texas Instruments or HP for the same problem and I got correct answers. I recommend this calculator for beginner's in finance or people who do not want to solve complicated finance problems. If you plan to use for complicated problems, I recommend Texas Instruments or HP.
Here is an example: Use CMPD for the following inputs:
N=3.43562 FV=100 PMT=1.375 I=1.355%
The prevent value should be -100.066697 but the calculator does not provide that answer. Try it with Texas Instruments or HP and that is the answer you will be getting but unfortunately with CASIO, it does not give you the correct answer.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat financial calculatorMarch 16 2006
By H. Hall - Published on Amazon.com
I bought this because I'm currently taking a finance class at a local university. Compare to the older model of Texas Instruments BA II calculator that I owned a couple years ago, this Casio FC-200V is much more intuitive. For example, when I try to calculate TVM, the Casio displays all the input fields on screen so you can enter values like you do on a PC.
Also, when you enter a calculation, you see the all the numbers display on the screen (i.e. "10+20+30x40"), so you can verify all the inputs after you finish pressing all the keys.
This Casio is powered by both the solar panel and a backup battery. So when you're in a dim environment, the battery will kick in and still allowing you to use the calculator.
The keys are easy to press and the layout are user friendly.
One reviewer mentioned that Casio doesn't display comma to seperate 1,000s, this may cause some confusion if you're doing a lot of calcuation with a lot of zeros. I don't find this to be a problem at all.
The only bad thing about Casio is that I wish the size is a little bit smaller. I don't understand why didn't Casio use the form-factor as its other smaller scientific calculators. It would be nice if I can put this calculator in my shirt's pocket without exposing 1/4 of its head.
Overall, I think this is the best financial calculator currently available. I highly recommend it if you are ok with the 1,000s' comma and the size (which the Texas Instruments' BA II is NOT any smaller in any way.) |

Biography of Richard Courant Richard Courant was born in 1888 in a small town of what is now Poland, and died in New Rochelle, N.Y. in 1972. He received his doctorate from the legendary David Hilbert in Göttingen, where later he founded and directed its famed mathematics Institute, a Mecca for mathematicians in the twenties. In 1933 the Nazi government dismissed Courant for being Jewish, and he emigrated to the United States. He found, in New York, what he called "a reservoir of talent" to be tapped. He built, at New York University, a new mathematical Sciences Institute that shares the philosophy of its illustrious predecessor and rivals it in worldwide influence. For Courant mathematics was an adventure, with applications forming a vital part. This spirit is reflected in his books, in particular in his influential calculus text, revised in collaboration with his brilliant younger colleague, Fritz John. (P.D. Lax) Biography of Fritz John Fritz John was born on June 14, 1910, in Berlin. After his school years in Danzig (now Gdansk, Poland), he studied in Göttingen and received his doctorate in 1933, just when the Nazi regime came to power. As he was half-Jewish and his bride Aryan, he had to flee Germany in 1934. After a year in Cambridge, UK, he accepted a position at the University of Kentucky, and in 1946 joined Courant, Friedrichs and Stoker in building up New York University the institute that later became the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. He remained there until his death in New Rochelle on February 10, 1994. John's research and the books he wrote had a strong impact on the development of many fields of mathematics, foremost in partial differential equations. He also worked on Radon transforms, illposed problems, convex geometry, numerical analysis, elasticity theory. In connection with his work in latter field, he and Nirenberg introduced the space of the BMO-functions (bounded mean oscillations). Fritz John's work exemplifies the unity of mathematics as well as its elegance and its beauty. (J. Moser)

In these notes, first published in 1980, Professor Northcott provides a self-contained introduction to the theory of affine algebraic groups for mathematicians with a basic knowledge of communicative algebra and field theory. The book divides into two parts. The first four chapters contain all the geometry needed for the second half of the book which deals with affine groups. Alternatively the first part provides a sure introduction to the foundations of algebraic geometry. Any affine group has an associated Lie algebra. In the last two chapters, the author studies these algebras and shows how, in certain important cases, their properties can be transferred back to the groups from which they arose. These notes provide a clear and carefully written introduction to algebraic geometry and algebraic |

This book covers elementary trigonometry. It is suitable for a one-semester course at the college level, though it could also be used in high schools. The prerequisites are high school algebra and geometry. This book basically consists of my lecture notes from teaching trigonometry at Schoolcraft College over several years, expanded with some exercises. There are exercises at the end of each section. I have tried to include some more challenging problems, with hints when I felt those were needed. An average student should be able to do most of the exercises. Answers and hints to many of the odd-numbered and some of the even-numbered exercises are provided in Appendix A. This text probably has a more geometric feel to it than most current trigonometry texts. That was, in fact, one of the reasons I wanted to write this book. I think that approaching the subject with too much of an analytic emphasis is a bit confusing to students. It makes much of the material appear unmotivated. This book starts with the "old-fashioned" right triangle approach to the trigonometric functions, which is more intuitive for students to grasp. In my experience, presenting the definitions of the trigonometric functions and then immediately jumping into proving identities is too much of a detour from geometry to analysis for most students. So this book presents material in a very different order than most books today. For example, after starting with the right triangle definitions and some applications, general (oblique) triangles are presented. That seems like a more natural progression of topics, instead of leaving general triangles until the end as is usually the case. The goal of this book is a bit different, too. Instead of taking the (doomed) approach that students have to be shown that trigonometry is "relevant to their everyday lives" (which inevitably comes off as artificial), this book has a different mindset: preparing students to use trigonometry as it is used in other courses. Virtually no students will ever in their "everyday life" figure out the height of a tree with a protractor or determine the angular speed of a Ferris wheel. Students are far more likely to need trigonometry in other courses (e.g. engineering, physics). I think that math instructors have a duty to prepare students for |

Mathematical Ideas
The main objective of this course is to provide an understanding and appreciation of mathematical ideas relevant and useful to art students. We will examine a variety of ideas from across cultures and times, particularly those of interest to artists, craftspeople, architects, and designers. The course is based on three premises: 1) Mathematics is a fascinating subject, full of compelling ideas; 2) many of its underlying ideas share a common ground with issues central to the arts; 3) the art student, as interpreter of our modern society, will benefit greatly from understanding these ideas. The approach is more visual than numerical, with a major focus being on various geometric patterns, symmetries and proportions evident in nature, and their application to art in two and three dimensions. We will also explore topics related to the digital age and humanistic mathematics. Lectures, visual presentations, philosophical discussions and hands-on activities lead to the student creating original works which interpret the ideas encountered under each topic. |

Every student is also issued an iPad tablet, and the mathematics programs encourage students to explore uses of this new technology both inside and outside of the classroom. |
Depends. Hardy and Wright (at least, the portion I've read) or Niven and Zuckerman can definitely be read by a student only familiar with high school algebra. Are you asking for books that focus on math competitions?

following Akhil, if you're asking for "number theory for contest math" type material, the Art of Problem Solving books are superb. For number theory as a mathematical subject, Akhil's right that both Niven and Hardy and Wright can be read with basic background. I'd add much of Ireland and Rosen to that.
–
Jamie BanksAug 7 '10 at 1:44
@Akhil I would like to read those introduce Number Theory as a branch of mathematics rather than as contest material. Thanks you and Katie.

There are several elementary number theory books which you could use and which do not assume a level of knowledge beyond high school math. I would strongly recommend Underwood Dudley's Elementary Number Theory and Harold Stark's An Introduction to Number Theory.
They're both beautifully written and cover most of the things that are usually covered in any introductory number theory course (at a basic level of course). Some of the other books that have already been suggested are excelent.
Particularly Katie Banks' suggestion of Ireland and Rosen, although this book makes some use of the language of groups, rings and fields, so it may be more advanced for a high school student.
One curious thing about Dudley's book (maybe only in the 2nd edition?) is an entry in the index: Sex in Number Theory. There really is a reference there to another page in the book.

My favorite elementary number theory book is the one I published with Springer: This isn't a completely shameless plug, because I was just allowed to release the PDF version legally for free (available at the above URL), which the original poster might appreciate.
Davenport's The Higher Arithmetic was my first number theory book. I think its very accessible to a high school student or beginning undergraduate student. It's quite short and very quickly readable.
If you find this treatment too informal, Niven and Zuckerman's an Introduction to the Theory of Numbers is a standard text that I think is a very well written undergraduate text, but this has already been mentioned. |

Linear Algebra - Foundations to Frontiers
Learn the theory of linear algebra hand-in-hand with the practice of software library development.
About this Course
Linear Algebra: Foundations to Frontiers (LAFF) is packed full of challenging, rewarding material that is essential for mathematicians, engineers, scientists, and anyone working with large datasets. Students appreciate our unique approach to teaching linear algebra because:
In this course, you will learn all the standard topics that are taught in typical undergraduate linear algebra courses all over the world, but using our unique method, you'll also get more! LAFF was developed following the syllabus of an introductory linear algebra course at The University of Texas at Austin taught by Professor Robert van de Geijn, an expert on high performance linear algebra libraries. Through short videos, exercises, visualizations, and programming assignments, you will study Vector and Matrix Operations, Linear Transformations, Solving Systems of Equations, Vector Spaces, Linear Least-Squares, and Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors. In addition, you will get a glimpse of cutting edge research on the development of linear algebra libraries, which are used throughout computational science.
We invite you to LAFF with us!Maggie Myers

gently guided, profusely illustrated Grand Tour of the world of mathematics.
This extraordinary work takes the reader on a long and fascinating journey--from the dual invention of numbers and language, through the major realms of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus, to the final destination of differential equations, with excursions into mathematical logic, set theory, topology, fractals, probability, and assorted other mathematical byways. The book is unique among popular books on mathematics in combining an engaging, easy-to-read history of the subject with a comprehensive mathematical survey text. Intended, in the author's words, "for the benefit of those who never studied the subject, those who think they have forgotten what they once learned, or those with a sincere desire for more knowledge," it links mathematics to the humanities, linguistics, the natural sciences, and technology.
Contains more than 1000 original technical illustrations, a multitude of reproductions from mathematical classics and other relevant works, and a generous sprinkling of humorous asides, ranging from limericks and tall stories to cartoons and decorative drawings. Over 1000 technical illustrations and cartoons and drawings

Is it numbers or arithmetic, proofs or equations? Jan Gullberg starts his massive historical overview with some insight into why human beings find it necessary to "reckon," or count, and what math means to us. From there to the last chapter, on differential equations, is a very long, but surprisingly engrossing journey. Mathematics covers how symbolic logic fits into cultures around the world, and gives fascinating biographical tidbits on mathematicians from Archimedes to Wiles. It's a big book, copiously illustrated with goofy little line drawings and cartoon reprints. But the real appeal (at least for math buffs) lies in the scads of problems--with solutions--illustrating the concepts. It really invites readers to sit down with a cup of tea, pencil and paper, and (ahem) a calculator and start solving. Remember the first time you "got it" in math class? With Mathematics you can recapture that bliss, and maybe learn something new, too. Everyone from schoolkids to professors (and maybe even die-hard mathphobes) can find something useful, informative, or entertaining here. --Therese Littleton
From Scientific American
The book is an enthusiastic and utterly amazing popularization that promises to be in print for decades.... It is an important reference and a book that is plain fun to dip into. If a family is to have only one mathematics book on the reference shelf, then this is the one.
Most Helpful Customer ReviewsHow did this guy do it? He wasn't even a mathematician - he was a doctor. And he wrote a book that's fascinating for both mathematicians and non-mathematicians. The book goes all the way from the incention of numbers and the most elementary arithmetic, all the way through elemetary calculus. Along the way he manages to give at least an introduction to fractals, combinatorics, non-Euclidean geometry, harmonic analysis, and probability - all topics which the typical American student would probably miss on her or his way through the standard sequence of material leading up through calculus.
But Gullberg does much more than just present the material. He includes the history of how - and WHY - each major mathematical innovation was developed, placing the entire subject in a human and historical context that is missing from almost any other book on any of these many topics.
I don't care how much math you know - there are almost certainly historical facts in here that you haven't encountered before. And I don't care how LITTLE math you know - you'll find this book accessible and fascinating.
The only thing I didn't care for was the silly little limericks and cartoons scattered throughout the book. Most of them weren't funny, and served only to distract the reader from the fascinating material.
This book should be read thoroughly from page 1 through page 1039, and then read over and over again, as you dip randomly into whatever chapters happen to strike your fancy at any particular time, for the rest of your life. I originally bought a paperback copy, but I soon realized that I had to have a hardcover version that will stay on my shelf until the day I die - except when it's in my lap or on my desk.
I hate mathematics. My wife, a former National Merit scholar and professional cryptographer, enjoys working out advanced equations of all varieties. Both of us appreciate this book. Gullberg combines historical overview and practicality as he advances through the universe of numbers and equations. I have enjoyed reading his commentaries and anecdotes which appear throughout the text. My wife has turned to it for understanding problems related to her work. This is a book for school or home library, that belongs on any shelf where there are people eager to learn or in need of an in-depth understanding of algebra, calculus, trigonometry, topology, or more advanced studies. It is worth the price and will not quickly become obsolete like so many other scientific texts.
Gullberg gathered and organized this book over a ten year period. It is a charming compendium. I have been looking things up in it and browsing it for five years, and there are many areas I have not yet touched. I will be enjoying it for another five or ten years. Why do I like it? Here are five reasons, one for each star. First, it has wealth of facts and formulas, and it gives you a bit of history with the material. It is nice to see where things came from. Second, if you need to look something up, this is a good place to find it. Third, if you have studied mathematics or used it, you will meet your old friends on these pages, and you will learn something new about some of them. Fourth, if you are keen about the subject, you will see interesting ways of drawing connections between various results and subjects in this book. Fifth, the author's good humor and broad culture shine on these pages so that reading this book is a pleasure. Editorial reviewer Donald Albers got it right in his Scientific American review when he said that if you were to have just one mathematics book on your shelf, this would be the book to have. I have many mathematics books. This is one that I keep close at hand in my office. Highly recommended.
This is one of those books that will give you tons of pleasure. Major areas of mathematics are explored with pertinent examples. The writing is good and the layout of the material is superb. Just pick a topic at random, read through the material, and then work the examples. There are no exercises. For instance, the chapter; Derivatives and Differentials, is superb with some history included. The material serves very well as a refresher rather than as a "teacher". So if you have not been exposed to Calculus before do NOT expect to learn it here. This book; for example, will NOT teach you Calculus. But it WILL whet your appetite sufficiently for you to delve deeper. On the other hand if you have already had Calculus the book will serve as an excellent refresher and reference source. I usually read a topic two to three times before I really get the idea and technique involved. An excellent reference that I use quite often. |

The Saxon texts strategically distribute the content typically found in chapters and units within more traditional texts. This allows more time and practice for skills and concepts to be mastered before the next increment of rigor is added. The daily, cumulative practice is the glue that holds the approach together. Doug Rohrer from the University of South Florida has done some interesting research regarding the advantages of mixed and spaced practice, the method used in the Saxon approach.
I took my own high school Algebra 2 course back in 1966, and I can think of several differences between the course I had that year and the Algebra 2 courses I see today.
First and foremost in my mind, the subject of matrices was not covered in the Algebra 2 course I took in 1966. I'm curious. Does anybody here know roughly when matrices began to be taught in our high school Algebra 2 textbooks and curriculums?
Next, if my memory is correct, the subject of conics was not covered in as much depth in 1966 as they are today. To cite one example, I do not remember having to graph hyperbolas, whose centers are not at the origiin, and then having to calculate the equations of their asymptotes.
In regard to the subject of imaginary and complex numbers, I do not remember this topic being taught in my own Algebra 2 course in 1966. Perhaps, my memory is failing me. However, I have a copy of a 1990 Algebra 2 textbook, in which this topic is presented in considerable depth.
One thing I find to be rather curious is that the Algebra 1 textbooks I see today make no mention of imaginary and complex numbers. When a problem such as finding the square root of negative 4 is presented, the Algebra 1 textbooks quickly explain that there are no real solutions and leave it at that.
Then fast forward to Algebra 2, during which students learn that there really is an "answer" to finding the square root of negative 4, which is 2i.
Another difference is that the topic of Probability was not taught in any of the junior high or high school math courses of the 1960s.
Another thing I see are inconsistencies in the manner in which various topics are taught and presented in the Algebra 2 textbooks and their teachers.
For example, some teachers completely ignore the topic of solving systems of 3 equations in 3 variables. Others go into it at great depth.
The Glencoe Algebra 2 textbook teaches both the diagonal method and the expansion of minors method for finding the determinant of a 3 X 3 matrix. In contrast, the expansion of minors method is completely ignored by the Algebra 2 textbook from McDougal-Littel. In addition, McDougal-Littel does not present the proportion method for solving problems with direct, inverse, and joint variation.
One of my students at a different private school uses the brand new Saxon Algebra 2 textbook (the one with the blue cover). I find the manner in which it jumps from one lesson topic to another, with little or no continuity or connection between successive lessons, to be very confusing. I found the same type of problem with the new Saxon Geometry textbook with a student I tutored last year.
In addition, this private school teaches Algebra 2 only as a one-semester half-year course. Personally, I do not think justice can be served for the majority of high school students, in order to achieve an adequate and thorough instruction of Algebra 2 course during only one semester.
As a result, their Algebra 2 teacher "cherry picks" the Algebra 2 lessons of her choice and skips over many of the textbook lessons. So far, she has skipped each and every single lesson on the topic of matrices.
At least, in our local public schools, taking Algebra 2 as a one-semester course is an option for the more accelerated students, with its instruction during an entire school year being the "norm" for the vast majority of students.
Okay, I'll stop now. I just wanted to share these additional comments and observations.
Given all the posts about Algebra 2, it seems that the situation is roughly the same as when I took the sequence of courses Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, more than a few decades ago.
Given that, and this is what I was really getting at, I think having complex numbers in Algebra 2 is inappropriate. That is too sophisticated a topic for a third mathematics course. Very few such students would have the maturity to understand complex numbers.
Lacking such depth, the subject would degenerate into mindless formalism and button pushing. That is the antithesis of education. |

In the Real World
Polynomials and rational expressions are used to express properties of the physical world, like how gravityworks. If you need a funnier example of gravity at work, check this out.
Polynomials can also be used to do approximation, something that's usually covered in Calculus classes. Shudder. If you go here, you'll see polynomials whose shape become closer to what we want as we let the degree increase. These approximating polynomials are called Taylor polynomials, and they're used for everything from making your calculator work to storing music on CDs. You could even store a Taylor Swift CD using Taylor polynomials. We'd keep going, but it's probably a better idea not to. |
