Browse Results Modify Your Results Mathleticsis a remarkably entertaining book that shows readers how to use simple mathematics to analyze a range of statistical and probability-related questions in professional baseball, basketball, and football, and in sports gambling. How does professional baseball evaluate hitters? Is a singles hitter like Wade Boggs more valuable than a power hitter like David Ortiz? Should NFL teams pass or run more often on first downs? Could professional basketball have used statistics to expose the crooked referee Tim Donaghy? Does money buy performance in professional sports?InMathletics, Wayne Winston describes the mathematical methods that top coaches and managers use to evaluate players and improve team performance, and gives math enthusiasts the practical tools they need to enhance their understanding and enjoyment of their favorite sports--and maybe even gain the outside edge to winning bets. Mathleticsblends fun math problems with sports stories of actual games, teams, and players, along with personal anecdotes from Winston's work as a sports consultant. Winston uses easy-to-read tables and illustrations to illuminate the techniques and ideas he presents, and all the necessary math concepts--such as arithmetic, basic statistics and probability, and Monte Carlo simulations--are fully explained in the examples. After readingMathletics, you will understand why baseball teams should almost never bunt, why football overtime systems are unfair, why points, rebounds, and assists aren't enough to determine who's the NBA's best player--and much, much more. Now you can apply the techniques that business analysts at leading companies use to analyze and transform data into bottom line results. For more than 10 years, well- known consultant and business professor Wayne Winston has been teaching corporate clients and MBA candidates the most effective ways to use Microsoft Excel for data analysis, modeling, and decision making. This practical, business-focused guide delivers the best of Winston's classroom experience to you-from asset allocation modeling to estimating exponential growth, forecasting sales, optimizing portfolios, and other critical functions.

CAT in Mathematics The CUNY Assessment Test in Mathematics (also known as the CAT in Mathematics, or the COMPASS Math test) is an untimed, multiple-choice, computer-based test designed to measure students' knowledge of a number of topics in mathematics. The test draws questions from four sections: numerical skills / pre-algebra, algebra, college algebra, and trigonometry. Numerical skills / pre-algebra questions range from basic math concepts and skills (integers, fractions, and decimals) to the knowledge and skills that are required in an entry-level algebra course (absolute values, percentages, and exponents). The algebra items are questions from elementary and intermediate algebra (equations, polynomials, formula manipulations, and algebraic expressions). The college algebra section includes questions that measure skills required to perform operations with functions, exponents, matrices, and factorials. The trigonometry section addresses topics such as trigonometric functions and identities, right-triangle trigonometry, and graphs of trigonometric functions. No two tests are the same; questions are assigned randomly from the four sections, adapting to your test-taking experience. Placement into CUNY's required basic math courses is based on results of the numerical skills/pre-algebra and algebra sections. The test covers progressively advanced topics with placement into more advanced mathematics or mathematics-related courses based on results of the last three sections of the test. Students are permitted to use only the Microsoft Windows calculator while taking the test.

Calculus for the Forgetful is one of the shortest calculus books available: it can be read in a couple of days if needed. Yet it provides a concise treatment of single variable calculus, along with many exercises and more than 130 examples. Informal, intuitive language is used to present the theory in a nutshell. Some topics are omitted for the sake of brevity, and the book is focused on the core ideas, with just a few digressions here and there. Calculus for the Forgetful is an ideal complement to any of the comprehensive calculus texts. It can be used by students currently taking a calculus course, as well as by those who would like to review and organize their knowledge. Those who plan to take more advanced mathematics courses or are preparing for standardized tests will also benefit from it. The book is small enough to be carried around to other classes in which calculus is used.

Secondary Curricula Intelligent mathematics software that adapts to meet the needs of ALL students. Our adaptive curricula, Cognitive Tutor software, is based on over 20 years of research into how students think and learn. The software was developed around an artificial intelligence model that identifies weaknesses in each individual student's mastery of mathematical concepts. It then customizes prompts to focus on areas where the student is struggling, and sends the student to new problems that address those specific concepts. The result is a powerful learning tool with the most precise method of differentiating instruction available.

September 2007 This is the second installment of a new feature in Plus: the teacher package. Every issue contains a package bringing together all Plus articles about a particular subject from the UK National Curriculum. Whether you're a student studying the subject, or a teacher teaching it, all relevant Plus articles are available to you at a glance. Teacher package: Mathematical Modelling Mathematical model A mathematical model is a description of a system using mathematical concepts and language. The process of developing a mathematical model is termed mathematical modelling. Mathematical models are used not only in the natural sciences (such as physics, biology, earth science, meteorology) and engineering disciplines (e.g. computer science, artificial intelligence), but also in the social sciences (such as economics, psychology, sociology and political science); physicists, engineers, statisticians, operations research analysts and economists use mathematical models most extensively. A model may help to explain a system and to study the effects of different components, and to make predictions about behaviour. Mathematical models can take many forms, including but not limited to dynamical systems, statistical models, differential equations, or game theoretic models. These and other types of models can overlap, with a given model involving a variety of abstract structures. Control Systems/Signal Flow Diagrams - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks Signal Flow Diagrams[edit] Signal Flow Diagrams are another method for visually representing a system. Signal Flow Diagrams are especially useful, because they allow for particular methods of analysis, such as Mason's Gain Formula. The concept of the feedback loop to control the dynamic behavior of the system: this is negative feedback, because the sensed value is subtracted from the desired value to create the error signal, which is amplified by the controller. Signal-flow graph A signal-flow graph (SFG) is a special type of block diagram[1]—and directed graph—consisting of nodes and branches. Its nodes are the variables of a set of linear algebraic relations. An SFG can only represent multiplications and additions. Little Green Book Nearly everything that occurs in the universe can be considered a part of some system, and that certainly includes human behavior and, potentially, human attitudes as well. But this does not mean that systems theory, and thus graph algebra, is appropriate for use in all situations. There are many competing approaches to the study of social and political phenomena, and systems theory using graph algebra is only one such approach. Graph Algebra and Social Theory : SAGE Research Methods Online Courtney Brown, Ph.D. | Graph Algebra: Mathematical Modeling with a Systems Approach From the publisher's description of the book: Graph Algebra: Mathematical Modeling with a Systems Approach introduces a new modeling tool to students and researchers in the social sciences. Derived from engineering literature that uses similar techniques to map electronic circuits and physical systems, graph algebra utilizes a systems approach to modeling that offers social scientists a variety of tools that are both sophisticated and easily applied. Key Features: Designed for readers in the social sciences with minimal mathematical training: In this volume, the author assists readers in developing their own difference and differential equation model specifications. Incorporates Social Theory: This book describes an easily applied language of mathematical modeling that uses boxes and arrows to develop very sophisticated algebraic statements of social and political phenomena. Dynamic Modeling 1: Linear Difference Equations (This is the first in a series on the use of Graph Algebraic models for Social Science.) Linear Difference models are a hugely important first step in learning Graph Algebraic modeling. That said, linear difference equations are a completely independent thing from Graph Algebra. Dynamic Modeling 2: Our First Substantive Model (This is the second of a series of ongoing posts on using Graph Algebra in the Social Sciences.) First-order linear difference equations are powerful, yet simple modeling tools. They can provide access to useful substantive insights to real-world phenomena. They can have powerful predictive ability when used appropriately. Additionally, they may be classified in any number of ways in accordance with the parameters by which they are defined. And though they are not immune to any of a host of issues, a thoughtful approach to their application can always yield meaningful information, if not for discussion then for further refinement of the model.

Math Lab General Rules and Procedures Exit before making or answering a phone call (conduct all cell phone conversations outside) Patrons wishing to report bothersome cell phone use should contact any Math Lab staff member Electronics Policy Food and Drink Light, neat, non-distracting snacks and covered beverages are allowed in the Math Lab. Items that might distract others in the Lab, such as those listed below, must be enjoyed outside. No messy or greasy food items No full meals (plate lunch, bento, etc) No distracting foods (noisy, aromatic, etc) After enjoying a snack or beverage, students are expected to clean their areas. Tutoring Tutoring is offered, free of charge and on a walk-in basis, to students enrolled in MATH or QM discipline courses offered by Leeward CC. Math Lab tutoring is not a replacement for attending class or instructor consultation. Tutors can assist with odd-numbered textbook problems and ordinary computerized homework but will not assist with problems that will be turned in for grading, exit assessments, or extra credit assignments without specific instructor approval of such assistance. When there is any doubt, tutors will refer student questions to their respective instructors. Environment The Math Lab is a working lab so ongoing and active tutoring and discussion of MATH and QM topics, procedures, and problems is expected. Discussion of other topics should be kept quiet and brief to help to maintain an atmosphere conducive to the study and learning of mathematics. Overly energetic (loud) discussions of any sort should be taken outside of the Math Lab so as not to disturb others who are studying. As a courtesy to others, please do not bring children to the Math Lab. The Math Lab reserves the right to require disruptive individuals to leave the Math Lab. Computer Lab Use 19 computer stations are available for students to use for Leeward CC MATH or QM discipline course work. There is no specific time limit restriction placed on the computer use in the Math Lab as long as students are working on Leeward CC MATH or QM discipline course work. Students who want to use computers for work for courses in other disciplines or from other colleges should go to the Learning Commons to use a desktop computer or to the Library Circulation Desk to borrow a laptop. Calculator Use Basic, scientific, and graphing calculators are available for students to use in the Math Lab and to borrow for MATH and QM discipline course work. All calculators must be returned on the day borrowed by the Math Lab closing time. Textbook & Solution Manual Use Textbooks and solutions manuals currently used in Leeward CC MATH and QM discipline courses are available for students to borrow. Current textbooks MAY NOT be taken home and must be returned on the day borrowed by the Math Lab closing time. Reference textbooks (usually older editions) are also available for student use. There are reference books targeted to pre-algebra, algebra, MATH 103, pre-calculus, and calculus. These reference books may be taken home and used for students' personal use for the entire semester.
Student Solutions Manual contains worked-out solutions to odd-numbered problems in the text. It displays the detailed process that students should use to work through the problems. The manual also provides interpretation of the answers and serves as a valuable learning tool for the student.

This stimulating introduction employs the language of point set topology to define and discuss topological groups. The text examines set-theoretic topology and its applications in function spaces, as well as homotopy and the fundamental group. This new theoretical knowledge is applied to concrete problems, such as the calculation of the fundamental group of the circle and a proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra. The abstract development concludes with the classification of topological groups by equivalence under local isomorphism. Throughout this text, a sustained geometric development functions as a single thread of reasoning that unifies the topological course. Well-chosen exercises, along with a selection of problems in each chapter that contain interesting applications and further theory, help solidify students' working knowledge of topology and its applications

Modelling chemical systems is a valuable way of learning and verifying obtained knowledge through measured data. In this Mathcad document, the chemical system is a river, where several known and unknown chemical processes take place. Modelling the pH variation in rivers is an interesting exercise, not only from an environmental point of view, but also because it makes use of basic physical, chemical, biological and numerical principles obtained through undergraduate courses. To employ this document, no special knowledge of Mathcad is required. Small exercises placed in the document will show the student how to solve equilibrium problems with the simultaneous equation solver and differential equations by an iterative matrix setup. Additional help can easily be found in the Mathcad menu. The pH model is built systematically using theory and logical assumptions to include or exclude different parameters and processes. After that, a short discussion will show how the initialisation values were found. The final model will show how equilibrium problems can be solved in discreet steps for a dynamic system using the simple assumption, that equilibrium reactions are much faster than transport phenomena and biological transformation. Furthermore, the model will be used to predict the behaviour of pH when changing temperature, ionic strength, buffer capacity and biological transformation rates. Users must supply the missing variables and constants while using the document.

This is where AAH- your academic hand comes into picture to provide you maths assignment help online. Algebra assignment help online: Lets us discuss what is algebra about and how important is the algebra assignment help is. Sometimes simple equality problems become headache. If i take an example and try to solve it using the basic rules of inequality we will see how easy and interesting math assignment help online can be. Lets take an example and start with the very basic concept of inequality. Find the value of x that satisfies the following inequality : (x+1) > 0 Most of the students will be able to find the value of x for which the equation holds true. i.e if we substitute any value of x > -1 left hand side of the equation will always be greater than zero. Now, lets make this inequality a bit more interesting. Here we have an additional value in the denominator, which is (x-1)^2 . If we use our mathematical aptitude, we will see that this equation is same as the last one. Let us see how it is same as the last one. We know a perfect square cannot be negative and if we multiply two sides of an inequality with a positive number the sign of inequality doesn't change. For example , 4 > 3 and if we multiple both sides by 2 , new inequality will be 8 >6 ,so the inequality holds. On the other hand if we multiply both sides by -1 the sign will get reversed. For example, -4 < -3 ( after multiplying it by -1 ). Let us take our equation again. As I said the sign of the inequality will hold on multiplication with a positive quantity, hence on multiplication with (x-1)^2 we can safely say that (x+1) > 0 * (x-1)^2 or (x+1) >0. So students must be convinced here. However, we have missed one of the basic concept of maths assignment help online. If we go by the last solution we can say that for x> -1 this equation holds. Let me disapprove this solution. What if we take x = 1 ? This will lead to (x+1)/0 , and any number divided by zero becomes not defined, hence we have to eliminate those points for which the denominator becomes zero. Therefore the solution to this equation would be x > -1 and x != 1. If we keep these basic concepts of maths assignment help online in mind we can easily deal with mathematics homework.

More About This Textbook Overview A classic text and standard reference for a generation, this volume and its companion are the work of an expert algebraist who taught at Yale for more than three decades. Nathan Jacobson's books possess a conceptual and theoretical orientation; in addition to their value as classroom texts, they serve as valuable references. Volume II comprises all of the subjects usually covered in a first-year graduate course in algebra. Topics include categories, universal algebra, modules, basic structure theory of rings, classical representation theory of finite groups, elements of homological algebra with applications, commutative ideal theory, and formally real fields. In addition to the immediate introduction and constant use of categories and functors, it revisits many topics from Volume I with greater depth and sophistication. Exercises appear throughout the text, along with insightful, carefully explained
9780130652454 ISBN: 0130652458 Edition: 3 Pub Date: 2003 Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR Summary: Many introductory differential equations courses in the recent past have emphasized the formal solution of standard types of differential equations using a (seeming) grab-bag of systematic solution techniques. Many students have concentrated on learning to match memorized methods with memorized equations. The evolution of the present text is based on experience teaching a course with a greater emphasis on conceptual ...ideas and the use of applications and computing projects to involve students in more intense and sustained problem-solving experiences. The availability of technical computing environments likeMaple, Mathematica,and MATLAB is reshaping the role and applications of differential equations in science and engineering and has shaped our approach in this text. New technology motivates a shift in emphasis from traditional manual methods to both qualitative and computer-based methods that render accessible a wider range of more realistic applications; permit the use of both numerical computation and graphical visualization to develop greater conceptual understanding; and encourage empirical investigations that involve deeper thought and analysis than standard textbook problems. Major Features The following features of this text are intended to support a contemporary differential equations course that augments traditional core skills with conceptual perspectives that students will need for the effective use of differential equations in their subsequent work and study: Coverage of seldom-used topics has been trimmed and new topics added to place a greater emphasis on core techniques as well as qualitative aspects of the subject associated with direction fields, solution curves, phase plane portraits, and dynamical systems. We combine symbolic, graphic, and numeric solution methods wherever it seems advantageous. A fresh computational flavor should be evident in figures, examples, problems, and applications throughout the text. About 15% of the examples in the text are new or newly revised for this edition. The organization of the book places an increased emphasis on linear systems of differential equations, which are covered in Chapters 4 and 5 (together with the necessary linear algebra), followed by a substantial treatment in Chapter 6 of nonlinear systems and phenomena (including chaos in dynamical systems). This book begins and ends with discussions and examples of the mathematical modeling of real-world phenomena. Students learn through mathematical modeling and empirical investigation to balance the questions of what equation to formulate, how to solve it, and whether a solution will yield useful information.,/LI> The first course in differential equations should also be a window on the world of mathematics. While it is neither feasible nor desirable to include proofs of the fundamental existence and uniqueness theorems along the way in an elementary course, students need to see precise and clear-cut statements of these theorems and to understand their role in the subject. We include appropriate existence and uniqueness proofs in the Appendix and occasionally refer to them in the main body of the text. While our approach reflects the widespread use of new computer methods for the solution of differential equations, certain elementary analytical methods of solution (as in Chapters 1 and 3) are important for students to learn. Effective and reliable use of numerical methods often requires preliminary analysis using standard elementary techniques; the construction of a realistic numerical model often is based on the study of a simpler analytical model. We therefore continue to stress the mastery of traditional solution techniques (especially through the inclusion of extensive problem sets).

Elementary Algebra with Early Systems of Equations - 06 edition Summary: Tom Carson engages students in the learning process by meeting them where they are and leading them to where they need to be through the determination of their individual learning style, the development of study skills, and the integration of learning strategies that help each student succeed. Elementary Algebra with Early Systems of Equations is a book for the student.

The authors' writing style is extremely student-friendly. They talk to students in their own language and walk them through the concepts, explaining not only how to do the math, but also why it works and where it comes from, rather than using the ''monkey-see, monkey-do'' approach that some books take. Elementary Algebra with Early Systems of Equations, as the title implies, places the topic of Systems of Equations early in the text, in Chapter 5. This organization is ideal for those instructors who prefer to teach systems of equations immediately following the chapter on graphing, and the chapters prior to polynomials and factoring. For those who prefer to teach the topic later, Elementary Algebra, by the same author team, places Systems of Equations in Chapter 8. ...show less Book is in overall good condition.

2 Answers Kenneth Rosen's Discrete Math with Applications would covers pretty much everything, save for matrices. Edit: I take that back; Rosen's Text does cover matrices, but just the basics. For an overview, Table of Contents, and text related resources, see: Rosen, Discrete Math. As far as understanding matrices, the obvious topic that comes to mind would be some intro text in linear algebra, but I'm sure you could find some on-line tutorials on matrices that would satisfy your needs, for that topic. In addition to the text above, a great resource, IMO, is (free of charge) The Khan Academy, a tutorial-like website that provides 12 minute lectures in a whole host of topics (under linear algebra, e.g., the video tutorials start with matrices, and under probability, you can find video tutorials on combinations, permutations, counting, etc.). In addition, there are exercises corresponding to the lessons, and I believe you get immediate feedback as to your level of understanding. It's designed to be self-paced. (If you visit the site linked above (Khan Academy), be sure to scroll up and down the page to get an idea of all the subjects covered there!)

Well, differential equations are hardly "super advanced math". Integral calculus defeated me, but differential was a breeze and quite intuitive. If you want advanced, try Lie Algebra, specifically E8. I wish someone could explain that stuff to me. Even a retired college math professor, who was the first person I knew to figure out the Rubics Cube without any help, was clueless on that one.

...At first, equations and problems may seem daunting. I find that students understand better when they break down a problem into components. My approach is to help students THINK, to translate words into mathematical equations, and to show other applications of the conceptsFor this reason it is important to have a good understanding in Precalculus to be successful in Calculus I, II and III. Your investment to improve Precalculus grade is highly profitable in Calculus. Happy Precalculusing!

Saxon is the nation's most comprehensive and most thoroughly researched homeschool math program, with more than 30 years of proven success. Saxon mathematics for grades K–12 is based on the teaching principles of incremental development, continual practice and review, and cumulative assessment. When John Saxon created his original math text in 1979, his vision was for a teaching method to help students better understand math. Since then, the program has been augmented with features to help you at every level. Saxon's K-3 program is designed to teach basic arithmetic concepts as well as geometry, patterns, time, and more. Each lesson is scripted for the parent, which takes the guesswork out of teaching young learners. Manipulatives accelerate understanding of abstract math concepts, and worksheets provide cumulative review. Saxon Math for middle grades transitions students from manipulatives and worksheets to a textbook approach. The emphasis in the middle grades is on developing algebraic reasoning as well as geometric concepts. Lessons include a new concept plus a review of previous concepts, and Investigations give students a more in-depth treatment of math concepts. Available for middle and upper grades, a Solutions Manual gives step-by-step solutions for all problems in the book. Saxon's high school texts prepare students for college and beyond. Like the middle grades, the upper grades program offers a textbook, tests, and a Solutions Manual. Homeschool kits are available for Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Advanced Math, and Calculus. << Use the Product Offers on the left to navigate through this category.

Dialogs Using the Input Bar you can directly enter algebraic expressions in GeoGebra. After hitting the Enter key your algebraic input appears in the Algebra View while its graphical representation is automatically displayed in the Graphics View. Example: The input f(x) = x^2 gives you the function f in the Algebra View and its function graph in the Graphics View. In the Algebra View, mathematical objects are organized as free and dependent objects. If you create a new object without using any other existing objects, it is classified as a free object. If your newly created object was created by using other existing objects, it is classified as a dependent object. Hint: If you want to hide the algebraic representation of an object in the Algebra View, you may specify the object as an auxiliary object: Right click (Mac OS: Ctrl-click) on the corresponding object in the Algebra View and select Properties from the appearing Context Menu. On tab Basic of the Properties Dialog you may specify the object as an Auxiliary Object.By default, auxiliary objects are not shown in the Algebra View, but you can change this setting by selecting "Auxiliary Objects" from the context menu (right-click) or by clicking on the appropriate icon in the Style Bar Note that you are able to modify objects in the Algebra View as well: Make sure that you activate the Move Tool before you double click on a free object in the Algebra View. In the appearing text box you can directly edit the algebraic representation of the object. After hitting the Enter key, the graphical representation of the object will automatically adapt to your changes. If you double-click on a dependent object in the Algebra View, a dialog window appears allowing you to Redefine the object. GeoGebra also offers a wide range of commands that can be entered into the Input Bar. You can open the list of commands in the right corner of the Input Bar by clicking on the button Command. After selecting a command from this list (or typing its name directly into the Input Bar) you can press the F1 key to get information about the syntax and arguments required to apply the corresponding command.

The library contains objects of two basic types, applets and components.An applet is a small, self-contained program that runs in a web page. Applets are intended to illustrate concepts and techniques in an interactive, dynamic way. A teacher or student can download an applet, drop it in a web page, and then add other elements of her own choice (such as expository text, data sets, and graphics). The applets in the library contain essentially no mathematical theory and thus can be used by students at various levels. The applets are intended to be small "micro worlds" where students can run virtual versions of random experiments and play virtual versions of statistical games.Components are the building blocks of applets and of other components. The Java objects are of three basic types: virtual versions of physical objects, such as coins, dice, cards, and sampling objects; virtual versions of mathematical objects, such as probability distributions, data structures, and random variables; user-interface objects such as custom graphs and tables. The Java objects can be used by teachers and students with some programming experience to create custom applets or components without having to program every detail from scratch, and thus in a fraction of the usual time. In addition, the components are extensively documented through a formal object model that specifies how the components relate to each other.Each object can be downloaded as a Java "bean" that includes all class and resource files needed for the object. An object in the form of a Java bean can be dropped into a builder tool (such as JBuilder or Visual Cafe) to expose the properties and methods of the object. Each object can also be downloaded in the form of a zip file that includes the source files and resource files for the object.

Three threads changed that: the emergence of the personal computer; the discovery of fiber-optics and the consequent development of the modern internet; and the building of the Three M s Maple, Mathematica and Matlab.We intend to persuade that Mathematica and other similar tools are worth knowing, assuming only that one wishes to be a mathematician, a mathematics educator, a computer scientist, an engineer or scientist, or anyone else who wishes/needs to use mathematics better. We also hope to explain how to become an "experimental mathematician" while learning to be better at proving things. To accomplish this our material is divided into three main chapters followed by a postscript. These cover elementary number theory, calculus of one and several variables, introductory linear algebra, and visualization and interactive geometric computation. Jonathan M.

For those folks who wonder if I really have it all together, and whether I ever worry about teaching my kids the right thing, well I have a funny story. Youngest does not grasp math concepts quickly, nor does he grasp a math method on the first time through or the 50th time through. He has to really work at math but thankfully I love the subject so when we spend hours on math I am almost in heaven. Oh, and if he hasn't done a problem type for a week, let alone a month, he most likely will have forgotten how to do it. Since he is in 9th grade and knowing his math ability and that the SAT will be coming up sooner then later Y and I have been doing SAT Math workbook problems 1x a week. Well, this past week Y struggled to do the word problems and I kept thinking—-this is simple Algebra he should know how to do these! He resorted to using Singapore bars and rods to answer the questions. Good for him but I kept thinking that he should know how to do these using Algebra, and x's and y's…….. I worried, searched the net for more word problems of this type, sat on the fence about buying another Algebra book, searched the web some more, worked with Y on some more of these problem types…..and worried a lot more, ….worry, worry,……How did I miss teaching Y this concept? I went back and checked through my Mary Dolciani Algebra I book (this is THE best Algebra book, written by a mathematician not some math educator—world of difference!) OK, I'll get off my soapbox about Mary Dolciani's books….. only to found this topic was not covered in there. Not covered? How could this be? This had to be an Algebra I topic! I even resorted to searching through the other Algebra I books that I have on my shelf cause I am a math book collector. They didn't have this topic either. I frantically contacted Heather who received some of my Singapore math books. Perhaps they covered this topic……. Finally, finally, I pulled Mary Dolciani's Algebra II with Trig book off my shelf and started paging through it. There it is! In chapter 5, this topic is covered! Yahoooo! I didn't miss teaching Y some Algebra topic. I breathed a sigh of relief (and also was quite happy that Y picked the concept up quite quickly once I explained the algebra approach to him). Y will be going through this textbook in 10th grade, a year before I went through it too. And then he'll be ready for Calculus. Yes, using Mary Dolciani's Alg II with Trig book will prepare him to go right into Calculus. I just hope I'm ready to walk him through that one. Have you heard the debate about AP tests? Or perhaps you have tooled with the idea of having your child take an AP test or two, but should they? What is a mom to do? That was the debate I had with myself during my ds' 9th grade year. I also need to share upfront that: First, AP courses and tests are not for every student. Second, a student can get into college without an AP course or test score on their transcript. Third, AP courses and tests are not to be taken lightly. Fourth, an easy AP course for one student but be an outrageously difficult course or test for another student. Fifth, there are others I should mention but that isn't the point of this post. As a mom to a bright student who demanded challenging science classes, who had worked from high school science textbooks in 7th, 8th and 9th grade, and had a mom who really could no longer keep up with the kid's every-expanding questions (& I have a few engineering degrees too) I searched for an alternative. AP Courses were the answer to my prayers — or were they? The first year I enrolled DS in one AP Biology class. It went well. He loved the class and while it consumed way too much time it was worth it in my mind. DS lived and breathed biology, enjoyed having a knowledgeable teacher and the teacher sparked an intense interest in the subject. The next two years DS took a few more AP classes and we attempted to prepare for a few AP tests on our own. And then I read the AP test score debates. Or rather stumbled into them. The argument was that a student interested in science should not take AP science courses or tests but should leave these courses for their college years. After all, the student will most likely need to retake the course once at college. What a waste of time it would be for the student to take AP science courses and tests when the subject would need to be repeated at college. Instead the science-loving student should take History, English, Art, Music, and Gov't AP courses which will surely count toward the student's college breadth (humanity, social science and history courses) requirements. This made so much sense to me however when I read the argument my student was in the fall term of his senior year so it was a tad bit late for me to make any changes. What was done, was done. We would have to live with dear-ol-mom's errors. But then I thought about the high-interest my student had in his AP Science classes and the low-interest he had for the AP humanity classes I pushed him into. It would have been quite hard on him to not have had his AP science classes to turn to to help him relax and enjoy his school day after working for several hours on his AP humanity classes. His high school years would have been quite hard. I had also enrolled him into the AP science classes for a second reason: I wanted to demonstrate to prospective colleges that this science-loving kid was ready for college-level science. Oh, and a third reason: I wanted outside grades and test scores to back-up my mommy-grade transcript. There, I had three nice reasons in my mind to justify to me that it was OK that DS had all these AP science and math courses and tests. He had AP Bio, Chem, Physics C, Statistics, Calc BC, and Comp Sci. I convinced myself that it was OK that DS in Chemical Engineering would need to retake Chemistry, Physics and Comp Sci. He had not taken the courses and tests for the credit as much as to educate himself on the material. What a unique idea! Take a course to learn the material because you are interested in the subject. Take the test to demonstrate to traditional educators that you really do know something about the subject based on their scale. The courses and tests had enriched his life even if it did not reduce his college course load. (We also have no idea how all these science and math AP test scores figured into DS college scholarship offers. That is a huge unknown!) Then in the middle of his first semester DS changed his major. Suddenly the Chemistry and Biology and Physics test scores would count toward credit and in the process permit DS to add additional mathematics and physics classes. And the two AP English tests that DS forced himself to work on for hours and hours and hours even though he had no interest in the subject, earned him elective credits only. He still must take 3 English classes. And here's a final reason for your science student to take AP courses and tests in an area that interests him/her: because you never know what path your young student will follow in the future. We don't have a crystal ball that will tell us which path our student will take, or a crystal ball that will tell us which college he'll attend or IF that college will alter their AP credit policy. The AP courses and tests taught DS a lot and that is what is important to us. YMMV. Things hadn't been working very well. A new homeschooler was really happy to hear that this past week. Not because she wished us ill but because she was feeling a bit frustrated that after hs'ing 5 months not everything was going smoothly. So, yes, Virginia, folks who have been hs'ing for years and years still run into days/months and even years when things don't work smoothly. I can't define why we were having this problem but just that work was not getting done. And I was the one pushing the rope, oh, I mean student, to get moving on his work, and to look in his Day Planner to see what work he had to do. We started our day at 8am, which was a nice change from the 10:30am we had slipped into. I opened the year-plan book, the one where I had recorded that in Science we would be starting chapter 13 on Jan 3, and chapter 14 on Jan 10…. My student was told to get his weekly planner. "But mom, where is my planner?" With the planner finally in hand, DS recorded what he was to do in Science, Geography, English, Math, French and Logic. He busily worked on his subjects and declared at 1:25pm that he was done. "WHAT! HOW COULD THAT BE?" This student never finished early in his entire life. I checked over the planner, rattled off the subjects trying to figure out if I had missed recording one, but they were all there. With a huge smile on his face the student went outside and returned to declare that he was going skating. He came back later after skating 15 miles and happily sat and played his guitar for a few more hours. Now that was a great start to the New Year! The rest of the week went on in a similar manner which gives me hope that maybe, just maybe I will finally have our school day working well. It only has taken 12 years. What was that noise? UGH! WHY is my alarm going off? Oh, yea. We're going skiing for the day and it's just before 5am. Time to rise and shine. I get Mark up and we quickly leave the quiet house. On the way north we pick up a friend's daughter and continue our 2-1/2 hr drive north. To snow and ski country. Thanks to Charles Marks and Blue Mountain Ski Resort there are 40 some homeschool kids plus their parents skiing every week through January and most of February. The day turned sunny, the slopes were a mix of loose snow and ice, and lots of happy kids. A number of people were skiing but not so many and we never had lift lines to deal with. On our first run I urged Rachel and Mark to leave me so that I could ski at my slow pace and urged them to ski together. I ventured down Vista, Burma, Lazy Mile, Paradise, Switchback and repeated a few trails a few times too. A couple times my kids crossed my path, we chatted for a moment before I waved them on. Starring at the gorgeous scenery from the mountain top I couldn't help but smile. For several years when friends asked us to join them on their weekly ski trips I had declined. How could we afford the day away from school? It was, in my mind, too important to stay at home and do reading, writing and arithmetic. But then it dawned on me one day 4 years ago. My kids would soon be graduated from our school I never, ever would have taught them to ski. Never would have taught them not to hibernate in the winter. There was something quite important here and I was missing it all, trying to focus just on book-work. Four years ago we joined the winter homeschool ski group and ventured out. Six times that first winter, somehow finding the time, squeezing book-work into other days, and enjoying the snow. Together. I remember how they praised my skiing ability. Actually they were both rather shocked that mom could ski, and that she could ski really good! I skied with them, taking them down their first bunny slope,and their first intermediate slope (and heard about their first run down the expert slope). My boys learned to ski, and I learned to relax. We've made some great memories skiing on the hills and I wouldn't trade the ski days for extra reading, writing and arithmetic days. I'm glad we're skiing again this year. And on the ride home the first song I heard after dropping my friend's daughter off was very appropriately George Strait's "The Breath You Take" Life's not the breaths you take The breathing in and out That gets you through the day Ain't what it's all about Ya just might miss the point Try'n to win the race Life's not the breaths you take But the moments that take your breath away Another friend moved out of state. That makes 3 close friends in 3 years. Three too many. Another friend left her husband and the homeschool friends she had made over the years. She might as well have moved away too—no, at least my friends who moved away still chat with me. These were women who I chatted with, went to homeschool conferences with, had their kids and them to my home. They weren't mere acquaintances and while we hadn't known each other for decades we had connected. There is a large empty spot. It doesn't help either that my oldest became a college freshman this fall too. One less very vocal person in our home left an empty spot too. And a dear friend just learned she has cancer, and is in Stage IV. She'll start chemo soon and my hopes and prayers are with this dear friend. Does anyone know how broken hearted I am? This reminds me of my high school years when I moved cross-country and had to make all new friends. And then one by one I lost my friends, one a year. Life is tough and I know I am tough too but I'd rather not be tested anymore. And so we move forward. DS was accepted to the nine colleges he applied to. Nine very nice merit scholarships. He made his decision and will be going to the college where, through three scholarships his tuition will be totally covered. As long as he keeps his GPA above a 3.0. Full tuition covered! Not bad for a kid who was never, ever going to read according to the public school. (If they had had their way he wouldn't be reading today, nor doing Diff EQ) Not bad at all. Several family and friends, who really must not know us very well, tried to convince me that DS needed to live on campus, at the college. No need to discuss this option with us since I never, ever gave DS that option. He'll live on campus. Thankfully he wants to live on campus. He knows it is time to spread those wings and he's READY. Fourteen. 14. A ten plus four. Such a little number when compared to the number of people in the world or the number of sand on the beach. But an important number. In the past 14 years I have lost a father, a mother and a father-in-law. I have moved from a town that referred to me as a foreigner after residing there for 16 years to a state that felt like home the first week. I have traveled across this great country of ours twice, visited Las Vegas, St Johns, NYC and countless other towns and cities. In the past 14 years I have owned just 2 cars, 3 dogs and one cat. The cat was stolen from us by a supposed friend. I learned about homeschooling, taught my youngest to speak, taught my kids to read, to do math, to write their name, to ride a bike, to make a fire, to wash their clothes and the bathroom, to make dinner……. 14 years ago tonight I went into my son's bedroom and hugged him goodnight for I knew that his life, our family life would soon change. A new baby would be coming into our lives and that turned out to be our youngest son. He will turn 14 on Sunday the 14th. So much has happened in those 14 years, so much. I remember tomorrow though like it was today. Every minute of it. No one shared with me what a roller-coaster ride senior year would be. Or, if they did I didn't hear them. Sure I heard that it was a year of waiting—waiting for the first acceptance, waiting for the financial aid letters to come, waiting for the merit scholarship letters to come in, waiting for DS to write the essay for this scholarship or that scholarship, but oh my…..I haven't felt this way for 15 or 16 years. I have to go back to the days of infertility prior to DS #2 to feeling like I do now. Such a roller coaster ride. To date DS has been accepted to 8 colleges and received several merit scholarships from schools that award merit awards in their acceptance letters. But we continue to wait. Wait for 'the other' schools to announce their merit awards. Right now DS wants to go to the college 7 hours from home. It would mean a mountain of debt for him but geez, he felt at home there. SO is that where he should go? I certainly don't want him to take on that kind of debt just to be away from home but I also understand the desire to be somewhere that feels like home. Somewhere where the kids are like you, geeky like you, awkward in a cafeteria line when they bump into you just like you would, and interested in discussing thermodynamics at the breakfast table because that is what interests you. How I wish we would win the lottery so I could say to DS, go. Go where you feel at home, where you will enjoy being, even if it is hours from us. DS#1 might be adding another school to his short/long list. To date he has applied to 9 schools, been admitted to 5 schools with merit scholarships to 4. The fifth school notifies merit scholarship recipients in March. The other four schools we're still waiting to hear from and might not hear from them until March. We tentatively filled out the FAFSA this past weekend. We don't know if DS will qualify for financial aid or not. There are several scholarships DS is applying for that require the FAFSA be filled even though they are merit based and not financial based. In early December I received a tip from Brenda (THANK YOU!) to go to the FAFSA site and apply for a PIN. It can take several days to receive a PIN and one is needed when you sign your FAFSA. Having this ahead of time helped us immensely. The FAFSA can be filed after January 1st of the school year you are requesting funds for. It is also important to file as early as possible so that your name gets into the queue for consideration. If you wait then by the time your name comes up all available funds might already be gone! Yikes! The downside of this is that we must also file our taxes soon. Like early February. Yikes! The FAFSA wasn't that hard to fill out for us although many others do not share my opinion. The hardest part was figuring out what cash we had in our checking and savings accounts—thank goodness for online banking. Then we had to figure out the funds we had in stocks and money market accounts. Well, that was easy for us too. We don't have a business, or a second home, or lots of funds laying around. My friends with Juniors / 11th graders have asked me as to when we would start our college visits. Start? We've been doing those for years. We actually started college visits years and years ago. For instance when we visited Williamsburg seven years ago we walked the grounds of William & Mary. While our kids were in elementary school we walked college campuses whenever we found ourselves in a town with a college. We have the viewpoint that the question was not whether or not to go to college but which college will you attend? Having this viewpoint we wanted to provide our boys with ample opportunities to see what colleges look like. Sure this wasn't a serious look but it was exposure to what a college looked like and turned the word 'college' into a tangible structure. Before Junior year the boys had easily walked at least two dozen college campusses. This exploration was all moved up a notch in tenth grade when we visited two college fairs. It was overwhelming for me to say the least. The one was in the Philadelphia Convention Center, sponsored by NACAC and the other at a local college. Both fairs had over 100 colleges attending, pushing their college features and wanting to talk seniors. not 10th graders. Attending a college fair senior year was a bit more productive however DS became familiar with college names in 10th grade so I don't feel it was a a total waste of time. Oh, and DS was totally disinterested in attending either college fair but we went anyways. Junior year we visited a few colleges in the fall and another half-dozen in the spring. Prior to each tour I visited the college's website, learned when their tours were being held, registered if it was required, wrote down directions and most importantly looked for any special programs they might have upcoming. For instance when I looked at Lehigh University I spotted specialty engineering tours. Sure enough in the list was one geared to biochemical engineering. Quickly I registered DS and put it on our calendar. I've heard that girls will just do all this exploring and scheduling themselves but part of me doesn't believe it. I question the source and since this is OUR experience, and what WE did I don't want to steer you wrong. I did the exploring of college campus websites throughout DS' Junior year. He was just not interested but on the tours he definitely paid attention, asked questions and took mental notes. I found that any questions I had were easily answered by the administration person after her/his talk to the group. I know some colleges request the kids have an interview but that wasn't the case with us. No interviews, at least not yet. I've heard some folks say that college visits are a waste of time and money since you can explore the colleges website and get the same information. I don't agree. The website presents the information in the manner the college wants you to receive it. As a senior DS visited one college as a Freshman-for-the-day. He went to a couple classes and ate lunch with upper classmen. It was an enlightening day for him. He found the chemistry class and the calculus class were covering material he had as a Junior in his AP classes. What a huge confidence booster to him. Over lunch he asked each upperclassman how they were able to pay for college. Each replied that Daddy was paying their way. DS knows that will not be true for him and wonders whether he will fit in with kids who are financially better well-off than he. At a different college the students spoke of their scholarships, summer jobs and internships when asked how they were paying for college. Not one referred to Daddy paying their way. It really was in early fall of senior year that DS began exploring college websites, investigating what programs they had, courses a student might take, the college's SAT score profile and even the college's girl : boy ratio. The college visits did eliminate a couple colleges and moved one college to the bottom of the list. DS also removed one college when he heard about the extra hoops for homeschoolers above and beyond what other colleges require from homeschooled students. We went on campus tours both while schools were in session and over the summer time. For us it didn't make much of a difference. Perhaps if we were looking at very small schools it would make a difference but I also know that DS will be attending admitted senior day. These days will give him a better chance to see the schools in session and get a feel for whether or not it is the school for him. But how do you find out about colleges and which ones might be best for your dc? Here are a few to get you started. We used the first two. DS didn't attend a college fair junior year but then insisted upon attending one senior year. I reluctantly took him. It was at the local college and at least 150 colleges were there. DS walked the aisles and I walked a few steps behind him, giving him his space. At one point I suggested he speak to one college. When DS resisted I happened to mention that the school is an excellent engineering school and he should explore it. Plus it is quite a drive from our home. DS went over and spoke to the man, a little mini-interview. This school is now at the top of DS list. I'm glad we didn't rule out college fairs, on site visits, specialty days or all-day visits. It has been part of our journey and a fun part!
Singapore is number one in Mathematics and number two in Science worldwide in the Third International Mathematics And Science Study (TIMSS) 1999. 93% and 80% of our students are in the international top half for Mathematics and Science respectively. The mathematics and science curriculum in Singapore has been found to be more comprehensive than that of many countries. Singapore's rigorous curriculum is continually reviewed to ensure that it remains relevant for our students. Editor's picks This is a comprehensive curriculum that will give your child a solid foundation in mathematics, build up their confidence and give them a head start on their peers. "Initially I thought of buying just the text and work books as used by the Singapore students, but the recommended workbooks in the respective Singapore Mathematics and Science grade packages are very well selected. They include solutions that are helpful for me to grade my children's work. The Mathematics teacher's Guide is colourful, but sadly the Science Teacher's Guide comes in Black & white. C. H." This is a comprehensive curriculum that will give your child a solid foundation in mathematics, build up their confidence and give them a head start on their peers. "Hello SGBox! Thank you so very much for your kind prompt service. My 9 year old daughter loves her new books (math) and I love the conceptual way the topic is expressed. Thank you for being an excellent company in a world where customer service is dying. Melina Winterton - Virginia USA" This is a comprehensive curriculum that will give your child a solid foundation in mathematics, build up their confidence and give them a head start on their peers. "While I have used the Singapore Primary Math books for over 10 years (pre-2001 syllabus), I had not realized that there were more contemporary textbooks available for US based customers. As a homeschool parent, these new texts have far exceeded my expectations and are a significant improvement on the Primary Mathematics texts currently available from US based retailers. The graphics are much more engaging and the supporting materials are very thorough and provide a significant amount of extra practice. I will say, making the transition from 5B old text to 6A new text, the 6A (except for algebra) will predominantly be review (3 of the six chapters) of 5B with some additional challenging problems and twists. That said, for the student having previously worked with Singapore Math, the transition in texts should be a confidence booster because the problems build in complexity at a nice pace. I also can not emphasize enough how pleased I am with the supplementary texts, which include answer keys. The explanations are clear and the additional practice problems are excellent for building skill, speed, accuracy, and fundamental understanding. I would highly recommend these products - not just the textbooks and workbooks but also the additional guides. Karen D." Bestsellers Your child will learn new concepts in a straight-forward and interesting way. He will develop creative and critical thinking and master problem-solving strategies through the worked examples in this section. "Excellent service.
