Well you could cartainly try. This kind of thing was tried back in the 60s, it didn't get very far. There is no point in designing a curriculum that only targets a small minority of people.
The basic fact is most people in the world are dreadful at at mathematics. This is something this forums seems to overlook, people who acutally enjoy physics and mathematics are very much in the minority in this world. It's largely pointless in teaching children something that will serve them no purpose in later life. Statistics would serve the general denizens of this world far better than calculus ever could.
I think people tend to be dreadful at mathematics because it is not taught properly. Calculus isn't just useful for analyzing physics and chemistry and assorted other topics, it has explanatory value in and of itself. Again speaking from personal experience, algebra became so much clearer once I knew why those techniques were taught. For instance, I couldn't give a darn less about multiplying by conjugates until I started studying limits. I didn't appreciate the beauty of e until I heard the definition of the natural logarithm. I certainly didn't much understand the purpose of being able to discern the equation of a line from a point and a slope. To me, learning calculus is like a myopic person putting on glasses. Sure, you can vaguely understand some concepts, but it's so much clearer in light of calculus. |
Don't let his young appearance fool you, he knows what he's talking about. When we're going over examples in class, he often asks the students specific questions on how did we get to to that step as a reminder and makes sure we remember everything. He offers extra credit a few weeks before every exam which is helpful study guide.
He and the class is a bit annoying but he gets the job done. Homeworks online, drops one test grade, and allows for 5 points extra credit per exam. It was more work than I expected from a math101 class but Choy gets you through it.
hes really nice and even though he is young he knows how to make his superiority known along with having a really good relationship with the students. while he may struggle with explaining into detail with questions, he wont stop until you really understand.
Go to class, take great notes. Ask questions when you dont understand the material, because Choy will do a great job in making you understand it. Complete all your homework, and study from it becuase thats where he gets most of his test questions from. If you do that, you're set for an A in the class. Lastly, Choy is a very easy going professor.
Easiest class ever. He's very clear with his work. He cannot take students who has no commonsense. If you ask him a dumb question, he will make you look dumb. So i guess he isn't that helpful because he's very blunt. Overall, if you pay attention, class will be easy & take a lot of notes!
He is an excellent math instructor. Although, he is not easy, if wants you to learn, and he won't just give you the answers (what would be the point of that, you can look for the answers on the back of the book) He helps you to understand and to analyze what you are doing. And is true, he does not give a review sheet but he gives you the topics.
One of the worst math teachers I've ever had. Boring lectures, and he's not very helpful since he gets very defensive if you ask questions. Also, he doesn't give review sheets for tests. Unless you're already a math wiz, don't take his class! You will learn nothing.
He is really nice but his class is a little hard. There were 5 exams for my class (not including the final) but he drops the lowest one. Precalculus was horrible! But he does take time outside of class to help students if they ask for it. Make sure you study a lot or you will fail. |

Hidden Function Model Documents
Main Document
The Hidden Function model evaluates a function f(x) with parameters. It is designed to teach function concepts by allowing a teacher to define a function, hide that function in a repackaged jar file, and asking students to find the hidden function. Students vary the independent variable and observe the resulting function value. If the unknown function includes arbitrary parameters (e.g., f(x)=a*x-3) the parameters appear as additional input fields.
The Hidden Function model was created using the Easy Java Simulations (EJS) modeling tool. It is distributed as a ready-to-run Java archive. Double clicking the ejs_math_HiddenFunction.jar file will run the program if Java is installed. EJS is a part of the Open Source Physics Project and is available in the OSP Collection. |
The GCSE is taught as a linear course during the last half term of Year 9 and throughout Years 10 and 11. Pupils will sit two examinations at the end of Year 11, one calculator paper and one non-calculator paper, 1hour 45 minutes each. Pupils progress through the content at their own rate depending on their mathematical ability. Pupils in upper sets will therefore be expected to cover the higher extension material, whereas pupils in lower sets will concentrate on the core curriculum.
Pupils are no longer assessed purely on their mathematical knowledge. The questions in the exam now contain the following:
Recall and use their knowledge of the prescribed content 45-55%
Select and apply mathematical methods in a range of contexts 25-35%
Interpret and analyse problems and generate strategies to solve them 15-25%
There is also a Functional element the GCSE (real life maths problems).
This will make up 20-30% of questions on Higher papers, and 30-40% on Foundation paper
Typically, pupils in sets 1 to 4 will be entered for the Higher examination paper (grades A* to D) and all other pupils for the Foundation (grades C to G). The content for the course (along with the examination details) is as follows, (content in bold is for higher specification only): |

Fortunately, I see mathematics as a very big house, and it offers teachers a rich choice of topics to study and transmit to students. The serious
problem is: how to choose. ( Mandelbrot, 1994, p. 80, emphasis added)
Traditionally, in the United States, geometry instruction is concentrated at
the secondary level; high-school students study Euclidean geometry in a
concentrated, year-long course that emphasizes deductive proof. Even
though educational policy is a local matter theoretically decided school
district by school district, teacher by teacher, there are nonetheless strong
commonalities in the mathematics education offered to many students;
their opportunities to study geometry are limited.
In the past, many arguments were advanced to support the traditional Euclidean geometry course. For example, Moise ( 1975) touted the
traditional Euclidean geometry course as "the only mathematical subject
that young students can understand and work with in approximately the
same way as a mathematician" (p. 477). For Moise, mathematicians work
deductively; studying Euclidean geometry gives students an opportunity
to experience the deductive development of an axiomatic system. More recently, others (e.g., Malkevitch, n.d.) objected to the study of Euclid. They
claimed that limiting students to the study of Euclid misrepresents modern geometry. Is the traditional geometry course a defensible and effective
"rudimentary version" of geometry well suited to a wide range of secondary school students, or is it an anachronism? As we near the millennium and as technological tools provide new types of geometrical representations, should Euclid be replaced in the secondary mathematics
curriculum, or should the traditional course be maintained or modified?
These questions interest us because we do not see curriculum as
fixed; in our view there are curricular choices to be made. In making such
choices, we take seriously Bruner's suggestion "that children should en |

Assessing the Math in Risk Management
Mathematics and Statistics for Financial Risk Management is a practical guide to modern financial risk management for both practitioners and academics. The recent financial crisis and its impact on the broader economy underscore the importance of financial risk management in today's world. At the same time, financial products and investment strategies are becoming increasingly complex. Today, it is more important than ever that risk managers possess a sound understanding of mathematics and statistics. In a concise and easy-to-read style, each chapter of this book introduces a different topic in mathematics or statistics. As different techniques are introduced, sample problems and application sections demonstrate how these techniques can be applied to actual risk management problems. Exercises at the end of each chapter and the accompanying solutions at the end of the book allow readers to practice the techniques they are learning and monitor their progress. A companion website includes interactive Excel spreadsheet examples and templates. This comprehensive resource covers basic statistical concepts from volatility and Bayes' Law to regression analysis and hypothesis testing.
Widely used risk models, including Value-at-Risk, factor analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, and stress testing are also explored. A chapter on time series analysis introduces interest rate modeling, GARCH, and jump-diffusion models. Bond pricing, portfolio credit risk, optimal hedging, and many other financial risk topics are covered as well. If you're looking for a book that will help you understand the mathematics and statistics of financial risk management, look no further.

Foundations of Geometric Algebra Computing
This book lays the foundation for the widespread use of geometric algebra as a new, up-and-coming field of geometrically intuitive and performant computing technology with a wide range of potential engineering applications in academia and industry.
The The related technology is driven by the invention of conformal geometric algebra as a 5D extension of the 4D projective geometric algebra and by the recent progress in parallel processing, and with the specific conformal geometric algebra there is a growing community in recent years applying geometric algebra to applications in computer vision, computer graphics, and robotics.This book is organized into three parts: in Part I the author focuses on the mathematical foundations; in Part II he explains the interactive handling of geometric algebra; and in Part III he deals with computing technology for high-performance implementations based on geometric algebra as a domain-specific language in standard programming languages such as C++ and OpenCL. The book is written in a tutorial style and readers should gain experience with the associated freely available software packages and applications.The book is suitable for students, engineers, and researchers in computer science, computational engineering, and mathematics.

Simple amazing. Dr. Strang really cares. He is not here to show off nor is he trying to dazzle you with flashy math theory. You really learn why and where things came from and you start to understand all the little math tricks that you have been doing all these years. Must watch!!!!!
I Love Gilbert Strang!

Benthegirl
I have watched 15 of these lectures and I love them! They are so clear and they make linear algebra so easy to understand. They're not flashy, just Gilbet Strang and a chalkboard, but the content is great. Also, his treatment is focused on applications and understanding, this isn't a theory course full of proofs.
Simply the best. Why do any other professors try?
by
rbond0087
This is simply the best series of linear algebra lectures that exist for public viewing.
I honestly believe that students across the country would understand linear algebra 100x better if their professors would just sit at the front of the room and press 'Play' on these lectures, one by one.
If you've taken a linear algebra class before, or are taking one now, and find yourself completely lost in the sea of terminology and mindless listing of rules and theorems, it's not you, it's the terrible way that linear algebra is generally taught. You will watch these videos, and think "Ohhh! Well why didn't they just say that in the first place!? It's so simple!"
Albert Einsein once said "You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother." Gilbert Strang could explain linear algebra to a group of second graders. The simplicity is really the beauty of these lectures. He has such a mastery on these topics that he can explain them in terms that anyone can understand.
If you've taken linear algebra before, watch these lectures and you'll see what I mean. If you haven't, watch these lectures and you'll never have to (well, except for credit). |

Matrices
Summary: This module provides an introduction which develops concepts related to matrices.
The following matrix, stolen from a rusted lockbox in the back of a large, dark lecture hall in a school called Hogwart's, is the gradebook for Professor Severus Snape's class in potions.

When I say this is a "matrix" I'm referring to the numbers in boxes. The labels (such as "Granger, H" or "Poison") are labels that help you understand the numbers in the matrix, but they are not the matrix itself.
Each student is designated by a row. A row is a horizontal list of numbers.
Exercise 1
Below, copy the row that represents all the grades for "Malfoy, D."
Each assignment is designated by a column, which is a vertical list of numbers. (This is easy to remember if you picture columns in Greek architecture, which are big and tall and…well, you know…vertical.)
Exercise 2
Below, copy the column that represents all the grades on the "Love philter" assignment.
I know what you're thinking, this is so easy it seems pointless. Well, it's going to stay easy until tomorrow. So bear with me.
The dimensions of a matrix are just the number of rows, and the number of columns…in that order. So a "10 × 20" matrix means 10 rows and 20 columns.
Exercise 3
What are the dimensions of Dr. Snape's gradebook matrix?
For two matrices to be equal, they must be exactly the same in every way: same dimensions, and every cell the same. If everything is not precisely the same, the two matrices are not equal.
Exercise 4
What must xx and yy be, in order to make the following matrix equal to Dr. Snape's gradebook matrix?

Finally, it is possible to add or subtract matrices. But you can only do this when the matrices have the same dimensions!!! If two matrices do not have exactly the same dimensions, you cannot add or subtract them. If they do have the same dimensions, you add and subtract them just by adding or subtracting each individual cell.
Exercise 5
As an example: Dr. Snape has decided that his grades are too high, and he needs to curve them downward. So he plans to subtract the following grade-curving matrix from his original grade matrix.

Jump right in! Anybody and everybody is welcome to help others! It is not required that you be a professor, an accredited educator, or a professional tutor. All you need is a familiarity with a topic and the ability to communicate your knowledge.
Encourage learning. The goal of these forums is to help people learn and, as they say, "One best learns by doing." While it is often easiest to simply post "the answer" to an exercise, a student learns nothing from this that wasn't already in the back of the book. Instead, strive to provide hints, helps, leading questions, and other avenues for the learner to investigate.
Support growth. If you're helping, then you already "know how to do it". The goal of these forums is that the learners grow in understanding as you have. Providing the complete hand-in solution to a take-home test might be "fun" for you, but the student (experience shows) learns very little which is positive.
Model good habits. Please speak clearly, display consideration and good manners, and model useful mathematical habits of writing and thought. Explaining similar examples and posting links to on-topic web pages is great; doing a student's homework or posting ads is not.
Be professional. Keep in mind that readers cannot hear your cheerful tone or see your friendly wink. While a friendly tone is certainly preferred, it is often best to exercise caution regarding sarcasm, off-topic humor, and the like. If you're tired, go to bed and come back, refreshed, the next day.
Please keep in mind that the purpose of these forums is to help students learn and grow, so let's try to keep current threads on-topic. And, as excellent a suggestion as you might have for a particular question, resurrecting an old (and especially a resolved) thread accomplishes little more than pushing active questions out of view, so let's stick to responding to recent and unresolved threads.
I am reviewing my calculus and I stumbled over this forum just today by googling for some help on rate-of-change of an angle type word problems. We worked together on another virtual venue some time back. I am really glad to see that you have created this forum and I will try to help when I can.

In this set of 36 videos, you will focus on exponential and logarithmic functions. You'll cover function inverses and learn how to find them. You'll also look at exponential functions and how to apply them. This will lead us into an introduction of e and logarithmic functions. You'll learn why e is, why its important, and how it is used in logs. Then, we'll dig more deepy into the subject of logarithmic functions. You'll come to understand how to approach log functions, what properties are unique to log functions, how to evaluate and apply log functions, and how to solve equations that include logs and/or exponentsI purchased all the tutorials on logarithms and loved them. I am a calc. student in college. Having taken only algebra I am able to keep up with other students who have had Trig and Pre-calc. Worth every penny!! I'm sure I'll being buying more!!!!
He needs non-dried-out markers. The dried-out ones he's using makes it hard to see the lines sometimes. Also, if the graph is ugly the first time, he should make a new video and do it right, for clarity's sake. Otherwise, the teaching is comprehensible. Also, he means to say that when you go to the left of 1, the red wins out, I believe (slightly after the 7 minute mark)... Otherwise, his explanation is confusing.
Very enjoyable and effective style of explanation and presentation with likable (sense of humour!!)
Below are the descriptions for each of the lessons included in the
series:
College Algebra: Inverse Horizontal Line Test Are Two Functions Inverses?Prof. Burger's unique sense of humor and his teaching expertise combine to make him the ideal presenter of Thinkwell's entertaining and informative video lectures.
College Algebra: Graphing the Inverse the Inverse of a Function
This lesson will teach you how to find the inverse of a function [f-1(x)] when you are given the function [f(x)] as a formula algebraically. Some functions, however, have no mathematically defined inverse. Professor Burger will show you how to recognize when a provided function has no inverse. For example, a parabola function cannot be inverted Inverse of Higher-Power Americanonent Function Graphs-Patterns Graphing Exponential Using Exponent Properties
In this lesson, we'll examine how to solve exponential equations. These are equations in which the unknown variable (usually x) is found in the exponent (like 2^x = 4). One approach to this involves making the bases equivalent on both sides of the equation (given that this will mandate that the exponents are equivalent). Other equations we'll solve in this lesson include 8^x = 2, 8^x = 4, (1/3)^x = 27, 3^(-x)=27, and x^(1/3)=27 Present Value & Future Value Find Interest Rate to Match Goals e Apply Exponential Monthly to Log Functions
The lessons shows us how to go from exponents to logs and from logs to exponents. To start with, Professor Burger reviews bases and exponents in logarithmic functions and shows us how to convert one of these logarithmic functions to an exponential expression. For example, we'll learn how to express 2^5=32 as a log statement and we'll go over how to express log(base square root of 3)9 = 4 in exponential Log Function Values
This lesson will show you how to find the value of a logarithm. We will also practice with different bases, logs with radicals, logs in exponents and logs of mixed numbers and fractions. You will go over problems like log (base 6) of 36 = ? Or 6^[log (base 6) 28] = ? for x in Log Equations
This lesson shows you how to solve a log equation. Professor Burger begins by reviewing the relationship between a log expression and an exponential expression. Then, he walks you through solving a logarithmic expression that contains a variable in a number of different parts of the equation. We will solve problems like x=log (base 2) 32 and log (base 2) 128 = x and log (base x) 25 = -2 and log (base x) 1/16 = -2 Graph Logarithmic fellow Match Log Function to its Graph Properties of Logarithms
The lesson opens with a review of exponent properties. Next, Professor Burger shows you how to convert between exponential expressions and lograithmic formulas as a way to arrive at the fundamental properties of logs. He walks you through the logarithmic analog of exponent rules and explains how they are derived. You will learn about the log of a product [log (base b) xy] = ?, the log of a quotient [log (base b) x/y] = ?, logs of 0 [log (base b) 0] = ?, logs of 1 [log (base b) 1] = ?, logs of exponential expressions [log (base b) x^y] = ?. You will also be made aware of the most common mistakes made by math students when manipulating logs (which include the fact that the log of the sum is NOT equal to the sum of the logs).anding Logarithmic Expressions
In this lesson, you will learn how to simplify logarithmic expressions by applying the fundamental properties of logs to the expressions. Professor Burger begins by walking through the different properties and rules of logs. Then, he illustrates how to apply these different laws of logs (which include logs of quotients, logs of products, logs of 1 and logs of 0). Burger will go through an assortment of problems in which bases and expressions vary expertise combine to make him the ideal presenter of Thinkwell's entertaining and informative video lectures.
College Algebra: Combining Logarithmic Expressions Functions with Calculators Change of Base Formula Richter Scale Distance Modulus Formula
Taught by Professor Edward Burger, this lesson was selected from a broader, comprehensive course, College Algebra. This course and Exponential Equations
In this lesson, you will learn to solve equations in which the unknown is an exponent. To do so, you will use logarithms. In simple problems, the exponential equation can be solved by simply converting both sides of the equation in such a way that the bases of each side match (e.g. with (3/4)^x = 16/9). When equations are more complex (like 3^(x-2) = 4^(2x+1)), Professor Burger will show you how to manipulate the equations using logs and the rules of logarithmic equations, which will allow you to change the exponents to coefficients of logarithmic expressions Logarithmic Equations
This lesson will teach you how to solve an equation with logs in it. To do this, you'll learn to use the properties of logs to combine all logs on one side of the equation. Once this is done, you'll convert the equation back to an exponential equation. Example problems you will work through in this lesson include log (base 2) x + log (base 2) (x-3) = 2 and ln x = 1/2* ln (2x+5/2)*x+ 1/2 ln 2 Exponents frequently Compound Predicting Change Growth and Decay
One of the most common applications of logs and exponentials is using e (2.718) to calculate rates of growth or rates of decay. In this lesson, we will go through the model for exponential growth (e.g. compounding interest, population growth, etc) and the model for exponential decay (e.g. half-life problems for radioactive decay or medicinal effectiveness declines). In evaluating many of these problems, you'll use the identity e^ln A = A because the log function and the ln function are inverse Half-Life including Newton's Law of Cooling Continuously Compounded |

"Describing many of the most important aspects of Lie group theory, this book presents the subject in a hands-on way. Rather than concentrating on theorems and proofs, the book shows the relationship of Lie groups to many branches of mathematics and physics and illustrates these with concrete computations. Many examples of Lie groups and Lie algebras are given throughout the text, with applications of the material to physical sciences and applied mathematics.
The relation between Lie group theory and algorithms for solving ordinary differential equations is presented and shown to be analogous to the relation between Galois groups and algorithms for solving polynomial equations, other chapters are devoted to differential geometry, relativity, electrodynamics, and the hydrogen atom." "Problems are given at the end of each chapter so readers can monitor their understanding of the materials. This is a fascinating introduction to Lie groups for graduate and undergraduate students in physics, mathematics, and electrical engineering, as well as researchers in these fields."--BOOK JACKET. |

Good Introductory Text
An easy read with good examples, the shortcomings are that the author does not cover many of the important topics early so a second or follow-up course is necessary. In the first few chapters Linear Independence and Basis is repeated at the expense of covering Least-Mean Squares or Gram-Schmidt.

What you need for MATH-102
If you will be taking MATH-102, Pre-Calculus in the fall, there will be many concepts that your professor will assume you already grasp. Signed arithmetic (adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing positive and negative numbers and fractions) will be covered in 15 minutes, if at all. Operations on polynomials and rational expressions,
will probably be covered quickly in class, with the assumption that you are familiar with them already. It will also be assumed that you have solved equations, simplified radicals:
(For example, solve for x: x2 - 7x = 8, or simplify or )
If you found any of the above challenging in high school, start getting help right away, with the first or second problem set.

frontiers of research, in the top echelons of academia, and throughout
mainstream engineering, finance, and science," said Peter Overmann,
Director of Software Technology at Wolfram Research.
"Mathematica is the perfect tool for a broader group--from
amateur scientists, to parents interested in introducing their children to
concepts in math, science, finance, and other areas, to anyone who wants
to make fully interactive models and simulations, analyze real-time data
on stocks, weather, or stars, transform and enhance images, or explore
infinitely more activities."
Mathematica Home Edition contains the full functionality of the

What is the difference between a Ti 92 and a Ti 92 plus calculator?normanqt
Also does anyone know where to download a user manual for the basic Ti 92?
Flash memory + more RAM + an easier-to read screen. Nothing crucial unless you really enjoy having lots of calculator games or something :p
As far as I know, the 89, 92, and 92+ all have the same manual (called a "guidebook" apparently). You can find a copy at:
Hope this is what you needed.
I have a TI-84 Texas Instruments Calculator and I dont want my programs to go away. My teacher does a program check before every test. How do you save it to something else?
The only thing you can really (practically) save it to is your computer, and you would need to use linking software (such as TI-Connect or TiLP), as well as the computer-to-calculator USB cable you should have gotten in the packaging when you first bought the TI-84 Plus.
What's the difference between the Ti Nspire and the Ti Nspire CAS?Tristan M
I am a freshman and I need a graphing calculator for Algebra II. I ordered the Ti Nspire off the Best Buy website for $130, not knowing about the Nspire CAS. Will I want the CAS for Algebra II and future maths, or is the old Nspire fine?
A Ti Nspire is definitely fine for Algebra II, but if you are planning to go on to more advanced math(i.e. Trigonometry, Calculus, AP Calculus, AP Stats) or Science (i.e. Chemistry, AP Chemistry), it would be better if you get a TiNspire CAS. TiNspire CAS has more functions. I am a sophomore in West Virginia and our school highly recommends CAS for people who haven't bought a calculator yet. It would eventually be the generally preferred one. If you can get a refund, I would suggest go ahead and buy the CAS. But again, the regular one is perfectly fine, but the CAS is better.
Can you go on the internet with a usb cord to program your ti-84 calculator to do extra features, more than what it already does?
What website, or what exactly do you need to do?
Thank you very much.
What 'extra features' do you mean exactly? The TI-84 series can do a lot of operations, but if you mean complicated things that aren't built in (like finding the factors of a number etc), they can usually be found in programs.
One of the best file archives for the TI calculators is ticalc.org. Go here: and just download any file that looks interesting (can be a math program, game, etc). Use your USB cable and transferring software (probably TI-Connect) to copy the program to your calculator. If it's a file that can be run from the Prgm menu, just go there and execute it. Voila.
for school i need a TI-Nspire calculator. My dad got a free TI-84 calculator, so i dont know if theres a big difference and i need to buy the Nspire one, or if i can just use the TI-84 instead. Anyone know?
It depends on what your school needs it for. If it needs TI-Nspire functions (and there are quite a few of them as compared to the TI-84 Plus), then you're going to have to get the Nspire.
But if they're just going to tell you to put in the TI-84 Plus SE snap-in emulator, it's probably not worth it.
You should probably ask (or email) your teachers for confirmation.
How do you program a TI-84 Plus Calculator to Output something to the screen when the user presses a button?soccerdude9@rocketmail.com
I want the calculator to output Happy Birthday when a button is pressed. How would i program this on to a TI-84 Plus calculator.
Depending on what button was pressed, you'd use the getKey function to wait for a key, then Display it.
For instance:

This program first displays the text "Press a Button", and then when any button is pressed, it displays "Happy Birthday".
You can also change the position by using Output( instead of Disp.
One more thing, if you want the user to press a specific button, such as the Prgm button instead, you would just change the the line "If K!=0" to "If K=43". The code for each button is different, but you can find that out by using a search engine.
TI 89 Calculator: How do I transfer a single program from the calculator to the computer?Anonymous
TI 89 Calculator: How do I transfer a single program from the calculator to the computer?
I am not trying to make a backup. I want to be able to copy a program I already manually typed into the calculator to edit on a computer, and then transfer back the edited version to the calculator.
You need to check if it needs a cable or if it has an infrared sensor and your computer would need to have one as well.
I suggest that you take a read at its instructions because you may need to buy a cable if it is possible to do what you want to.
I have already downloaded the software, but every time I use screen capture it says it can't find the device although it is already plugged. My computer says that the calculator is not not installed, but i have the TI connect software already downloaded. I need to a snapshot of the graphs on my calculator.
Every time you install TI-Connect, you have to make sure it's able to detect your calculator. This can usually be done by opening up TI-DeviceExplorer, and seeing if it can detect your calculator. If not, then try uninstalling and reinstalling. If that doesn't work, it probably means you installed the wrong driver (i.e. plugged in the USB cable before installing TI-Connect). You then have to open up Device Manager in Windows, delete the appropriate driver, then reinstall everything. It's a pretty cumbersome process, so good luck. |

Rochester Area Math Circle
Problem solving is widely accepted as one of the focal points in the instruction process of mathematics, and also strong problem solving skills go a long way in transforming a math enthusiast student into a high-caliber researcher. Based on these motivations, this outreach activity intends to develop the mathematical background of gifted middle school and high school students and to mentor them towards promising careers.
The format of the math circle is one of a 1.5-hour semimonthly meeting, which is either a problem solving seminar (i.e., an open discussion about theoretical and applicative issues related to a certain
mathematical object/technique) or an expository lecture that presents a specific advanced mathematical
topic in an intuitive, interactive, more informal way. An objective of the circle is to teach the participants how to explain and write rigorous solutions to various mathematical problems. We see this as a forward step towards building mathematical research skills. This initiative wants to offer a qualitative advanced mathematical training that goes beyond the current K-12 curriculum.
Another goal of this activity is to prepare its participants for mathematical competitions. We have in mind a rich calendar of such events that will include the Mathcounts program and the AMC 8, 10, and 12 contests administered by The American Mathematics Competitions.

Math In physicsNone of us have any idea what university you attend, thus none of us have any idea what physics 234 is. I suspect it's the introductory algebra based physics courses, though. If you can't (or is it that you just dislike it) use the quadratic formula, you are going to have problems. Physics requires a solid foundation in algebra.

Quote by FlusteredThere's a section of the forum for the topic of academic guidance. You might get better advice if you have your post moved there. And do you expect people to know what course physics 234 is? Course numberings aren't standardized from college to college - at least in the USA. Doesn't your college publish the prerequisites for the courses?

Don't be scared of maths - the main reasons people dislike it, in my opinion, is that it is
A) Teached badly in schools and
B) The maths they teach you in schools, in general, is extremely boring, making it harder to study.
If you are serious about doing physics, you should be serious about getting good at maths. And don't worry, even if you don't think you enjoy maths (or are good at it), you will start to enjoy it (and get better at it) after you've got past the tedious details which get you started and can begin seeing the beauty of maths.

I'm not an astrophysicist, but you can get by with different levels of math, depending on what kind of astrophysicist you want to be. I have heard about applications of PhD level math to astrophysics, but that isn't necessary. However, the minimum math level would be very high, by your standards. Calculus (including vector calculus), linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, differential geometry, partial differential equations, calculus of variations.
I like math I think math is easy, the hard part is just remember the formulas to solve a problem.
Math isn't really about using formulas to solve a problem. Formulas, when they come up, often have a physical or geometric meaning and that's how to remember a lot of them. Or you remember how to derive the formula.
I think you need to read Lockheart's lament to see what you've been missing:
If you want to do physics, then your algebra will have to be excellent. You'll have to be able to solve quadratic formula's with ease. If you find algebra hard, then you need to practice even more before starting physics.

You want examples of problems in rigid body motion that use algebra? In relativity? Quantum mechanics? You can take it from the physicists here that you need to master algebra (and an awful lot more) to do well in physics. Study hard, ask questions, and practice. The math and physics you use will get more challenging and much more interesting as you move through the physics curriculum.

Quadratic equations come up frequently in classical mechanics, which includes how planets move. One example would be a solution to a differential equation based on F=ma, which is really just F=m*d^2r/dr^2 - a second-order differential equation.
Maybe you're wanting to analyze planetary accretion in a newly formed gaseous nebula. You might be interested in how a large body would travel in such a medium. You might formulate a second-order differential equation that assumes a central force (a central star, for instance), a 'drag' force proportional to the velocity of the planet and tangent to the elliptical orbit, and a non-uniform gas medium. Thus, your differential equation would be dependent on the second derivative of your position (acceleration), the first derivative of your position (velocity), and your position itself. The resulting differential equation can be solved using a quadratic equation and a couple assumptions that turn out to be true.
And that's just something I can think of off the top of my head.

I use the quadratic formula all the time from pure math classes such as deriving an expression for inverse sine or to physical chemistry for finding the amount of gas in a container at equilibrium to physics!
Truth is, despite if you can see it or not at this point, ALL the math you learn until you are done with lower division math completely is useful.
Partial fractions, all your factoring techniques, all of it.

The
primary mission of the Department of Mathematical Sciences is to provide
effective instruction to SUNY Fredonia students.† In so doing the department is guided by curricular and
pedagogical recommendations made by relevant professional societies,
particularly the Mathematical Association of America1 and the
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
Students take courses
offered by the department for a variety of reasons, and the department constantly
seeks to better understand the background, strengths, weaknesses, academic
goals, and career aspirations of all its students.† Nevertheless, every course offered by the department will strive
to:
∑develop
mathematical thinking and communication skills; and
∑communicate
the breadth and interconnections of the mathematical sciences.
In addition, courses taken primarily to satisfy
general education requirements are designed to:
engage students in a
meaningful and positive intellectual experience;
sharpen abilities in quantitative and logical
reasoning needed for informed citizenship and productive employment; and
encourage students to take additional
coursework in the mathematical sciences.
Cognate courses for students majoring in partner
disciplines will meet the needs of those disciplines and advance the studentsí
ability to:
Finally, programs and courses primarily for our majors
will aim to help students:
∑progress from a
procedural/computational understanding of mathematics to a broad understanding
encompassing logical reasoning, generalization, abstraction, and formal proof;
and
∑gain experience in the
careful analysis of examples and data, making appropriate use of graphing
calculators, computer algebra systems, visualization software, and statistical
packages;
Overall, the departmentís goal is for students to
view mathematics as an engaging field of inquiry, rich in beauty, with powerful
applications, and as a discipline with an intriguing history, vibrant present,
and promising future.
To
achieve such a vision, it is necessary that the department:
∑Make a commitment to excellence in teaching
Each faculty member will
provide effective instruction.† This
requires knowledge of the subject, preparation, organization, and availability
both in and out of the classroom.†
Formal and informal advisement of students will be performed with
care.† Faculty, both individually and as
a group, will engage in regular self-assessment and seek to improve their
teaching and advising through discussions with peers, attendance at workshops
and conferences, and by keeping abreast of the relevant literature.
∑Create a supportive and intellectually stimulating environment
Faculty will engage in
scholarly activity, and will seek to involve students in their work whenever
possible.† The department will provide
students with mathematical challenges above and beyond normal coursework ĺ for example, in problem-solving sessions and
the Honors Program.† The physical
environment in which students and faculty learn and teach, particularly the
Fishbowl, will be maintained and enhanced with the necessary materials and
amenities.† Student membership in
organizations such as Chi Tau Omega (Math Club) will be encouraged, and the
department will provide students with opportunities to attend conferences, make
presentations, hear invited outside speakers, and interact socially with the
faculty and each other.† The department
believes that its intellectual climate is enhanced by the presence of students
and faculty from diverse backgrounds, and will promote an atmosphere of support
and respect.
∑Design innovative courses and programs
The department will
collaborate with faculty from other departments to insure that general
education and required cognate courses in mathematics and statistics meet
student needs.† Given our especially
proud tradition in the education of teachers, we will work with our partners in
the Professional Education Unit to design effective courses and programs for
pre-service and in-service teachers.†
Most importantly, through regular program assessment, keeping abreast of
innovative practices at other universities, and participation in relevant
professional organizations, the department will maintain and seek to enhance
the national reputation it enjoys for the quality of its programs, as well as
for the recognition it has received for success in attracting a relatively
large number of majors.
∑Perform outreach
The department will be
proactive in educating the campus and the larger community about the nature and
beauty of mathematics and importance of mathematics and mathematics education.
∑Recruit and retain the best personnel; develop and improve facilities
The department will make
every effort to recruit and retain the best faculty and students and provide
them with high quality classrooms, offices, technology and other material
support to facilitate their work.
∑Strengthen ties with alumni
The department will
cultivate an ongoing relationship with its former
students, and elicit their support and assistance. Alumni can be
invaluable
as guest speakers, as ďambassadorsĒ for the program, and by providing or
helping to locate internships and other career opportunities for students.† They are also a critical component of the
departmentís assessment system. |

Determinants
A determinant of a matrix represents a single number. We obtain this value by multiplying and adding its elements in a special way. We can use the determinant of a matrix to solve a system of simultaneous equations.
For example, if we have the (square) 2 × 2 matrix:
`((5,7),(2,-3))`

The course begins with estimation and hypothesis testing for parameters of two populations. The Chi-square distribution is applied to contingency tables and the F distribution is applied to analysis of variance with emphasis on statistical decision-making models. Time series analysis, linear regression and correlation models are constructed and estimated. The traditional tests of statistical significance are applied, and the models are examined in light of the assumptions underlying the least-squares technique. The course will make active use of technology by requiring the use of computer software. PREREQUISITE(S): MAT335; MIS102 or a working knowledge of a computer spreadsheet |

Assessing the Math in Risk Management
Mathematics and Statistics for Financial Risk Management is a practical guide to modern financial risk management for both practitioners and academics. The recent financial crisis and its impact on the broader economy underscore the importance of financial risk management in today's world. At the same time, financial products and investment strategies are becoming increasingly complex. Today, it is more important than ever that risk managers possess a sound understanding of mathematics and statistics. In a concise and easy-to-read style, each chapter of this book introduces a different topic in mathematics or statistics. As different techniques are introduced, sample problems and application sections demonstrate how these techniques can be applied to actual risk management problems. Exercises at the end of each chapter and the accompanying solutions at the end of the book allow readers to practice the techniques they are learning and monitor their progress. A companion website includes interactive Excel spreadsheet examples and templates. This comprehensive resource covers basic statistical concepts from volatility and Bayes' Law to regression analysis and hypothesis testing.
Widely used risk models, including Value-at-Risk, factor analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, and stress testing are also explored. A chapter on time series analysis introduces interest rate modeling, GARCH, and jump-diffusion models. Bond pricing, portfolio credit risk, optimal hedging, and many other financial risk topics are covered as well. If you're looking for a book that will help you understand the mathematics and statistics of financial risk management, look no further.

Three Ancient Problems (trisecting the angle, squaring the circle, duplicating the cube) have challenged mathematicians for 2000 years. It's impossible to solve them using compass and straightedge alone, so mathematicians were challenged to create a curve or curve family to solve all three. No one accomplished this feat--until Graef. His curves were verified/published in top math publications.

Grading: Grades are determined on a
cumulative point system. Major tests count more than daily grades. At the end
of each nine weeks, the total points possible will divide the studentís point
total. The resulting percentage is the studentís grade for that grading
period. Grades may include tests, quizzes, unit tests, notebook tests,
projects, group work, and other work assigned by the instructor. Semester tests
are given in accordance with the school board policy.
Classroom Rules: 1. Food and drinks
are not allowed in the classroom. 2. NO phone passes except for sickness. 3.
Students are expected to bring a notebook, pencil, paper, and calculator to
class everyday.
Classroom Policies: Homework
assignments are accepted on the due date and time. For excused absences,
students must submit homework within five school days after the absence.
Late Work: Special projects or
assignments are due at the beginning of the period on the due date. Late work
will not be accepted.
Make up Work: All homework, tests,
and other assignments to be made up are the responsibility of the student.
Students who are absent should call a classmate to get daily assignments and be
ready for any class work on the day the return to class. A grade of zero is
assigned for all work not made up within five days of the excused absence. No
make up work is given for unexcused absences.

An introduction to the geometry which, as modern science now confirms, underlies the structure of the universe.
The thinkers of ancient Egypt, Greece and India recognized that numbers governed much of what they saw in their world and hence provided an approach to its divine creator. Robert Lawlor sets out the system that determines the dimension and the form of both man-made and natural structures, from Gothic cathedrals to flowers, from music to the human body. By also involving the reader in practical experiments, he leads with ease from simple principles to a grasp of the logarithmic spiral, the Golden Proportion, the squaring of the circle and other ubiquitous ratios and proportions.

Each page in Common Core Math Workouts for grade 8Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, and lightening does not travel in a straight line. The complexity of nature's shapes differs in kind, not merely degree, from that of the shapes of ordinary geometry, the geometry of fractal shapes.
Now that the field has expanded greatly with many active researchers, Mandelbrot presents the definitive overview of the origins of his ideas and their new applications. The Fractal Geometry of Nature is based on his highly acclaimed earlier work, but has much broader and deeper coverage and more extensive illustrations.
Imagine an equilateral triangle. Now, imagine smaller equilateral triangles perched in the center of each side of the original triangle--you have a Star of David. Now, place still smaller equilateral triangles in the center of each of the star's 12 sides. Repeat this process infinitely and you have a Koch snowflake, a mind-bending geometric figure with an infinitely large perimeter, yet with a finite area. This is an example of the kind of mathematical puzzles that this book addresses.
The Fractal Geometry of Nature is a mathematics text. But buried in the deltas and lambdas and integrals, even a layperson can pick out and appreciate Mandelbrot's point: that somewhere in mathematics, there is an explanation for nature. It is not a coincidence that fractal math is so good at generating images of cliffs and shorelines and capillary beds. |
Each release of Mathematica brings with it powerful new tools that can be applied to an ever-widening range of fields, so it's no surprise that a great many faculty members at all levels choose Mathematica as the tool around which to base their curricula. My first introduction to the software came during my undergraduate education when I took a differential equations course. As my professor went through the syllabus and explained what topics we would cover that semester, she also mentioned that we would be using Mathematica and showed some examples of what it could do.
Having never used mathematical technology more sophisticated than a graphing calculator, I did admittedly have a bit of a rocky start with the language and syntax. I remember my professor spending a lecture period going over the basics of how to enter input and perform computations, but I decided to dismiss all that advice and just figure it out myself—which seemed to be a good idea at the time. I probably should have paid closer attention to my professor's tutorial, because I soon became frustrated at what seemed like a very rigid language. As I investigated further—mostly by looking at all the examples in the documentation—I quickly realized that by learning a few simple rules one could effectively harness the program and produce powerful results. Ultimately it was Mathematica's consistent language design that got me excited about learning more.
Recently, I was in Puerto Rico giving Mathematica talks to faculty and students within the University of Puerto Rico and Inter American University of Puerto Rico system. First off, I loved the islands and the weather. Second, the people were enthusiastic, understanding of my broken Spanish, and wonderful people with whom to interact and discuss Mathematica integration.
On my flight home, I realized that it would be good to document a little bit of my experience talking with educators about integrating Mathematica into courses and how Mathematica 7 has completely changed my perspective (and uniformly, their perspective) as well.
I've now been at Wolfram Research almost 12 years. My experiences at the company have been quite varied. I have traversed the country in the MathMobile (see below) showing lots of people at schools, companies, and government labs how to start using Mathematica; I have sat at a desk in technical support answering questions from longtime users on how to do (and fix) pretty detailed programming; I have worked in public relations to convey to the press why Mathematica is such an important topic for them to cover.
Calculus has occupied a central position in scientific thought ever since its discovery by Newton and Leibniz more than 300 years ago. The combination of elegance, utility, and rigor that characterize this subject have led to its extensive use in theoretical approaches to diverse fields such as economics, finance, and biology. Indeed, calculus is one of the greatest intellectual achievements of humankind, which explains its important role in the training of students all over the world.
It has been my privilege to present a "College Calculus with Mathematica" talk as part of a series of free online seminars organized by the Wolfram Education Group. Today, I would like to give you a glimpse of the seminar's topics and write about the advantages of online instruction.
It was submitted a few weeks ago, and I rather liked it because it illustrated several basic numerical approaches to solving a first-order differential equation. Without much fuss this quickly brings one into numerical analysis, approximation methods, and other polysyllabic topics important to engineering, math, and related fields.
As it was making the rounds through our review process, I received one of those phone calls that parents know all too well: the college student emergency homework appeal. I picked up the phone.
And I was greatly relieved to find that the study itself says no such thing. Bing and Redish don't recommend banishing Mathematica; they welcome it in their classrooms and point out many positive things about it, along with one relatively minor pitfall they suggest ways to work around.
What mindset led the reporter to jump to such a reactionary conclusion? Why use such an inflammatory headline in connection with level-headed research that showed, when you get right down to it, virtually the opposite of what the New Scientist headline says?
The question of what technology to use in the classroom comes up all the time, and the resulting debate often generates more heat than light. People feel strongly about the subject because at its heart it is a question about what it means to be human.
My two high-schoolers constantly struggle with math and science. And every time I sit down to help them out, I get my own slightly sweaty flashback to my school days, reminded of how glad I am not to be dealing with homework and boring classes every day.
With all the technological distractions available to kids now, it's hard to get them to crack a book open. On the other hand, technology also offers the means to engross modern students in their classwork.
Working on Mathematica makes that all too obvious to me, but after 17 years at Wolfram Research, I've been so close to and inside our development process that I've been taking the obvious for granted.
Sure, once in a while I check the kids' algebra homework using Solve. But sticking a computer in front of every student in a classroom is probably not the best way to engage them as a group.
Engaging kids is going to get easier now with a combination of two things coming together, which a few of us got to preview at our recent Mathematica Publishing Day event in Oxford. |

More About
This Textbook
Overview
After 12 textbooks, 23 editions, and 20 years of front-line education experience, best-selling author Nigel Cook has written this text as a complete math course for computer technology students.
This finely tuned, carefully tested, and accuracy checked volume is organized into two parts. The first seven chapters in Part A begin at the very beginning with fractions and decimals, and proceed on to establish a solid foundation in signed numbers, exponents, the metric system, algebra, trigonometry, logarithms, and graphs. The following six chapters in Part B are devoted to computer mathematics, including analog to digital conversion, digital number systems and codes, logic gates, Boolean algebra, binary arithmetic, and computers and programming.
As with any topic to be learned, the method of presentation can make a big difference between clear comprehension and complete confusion. Employing an "integrated math applications" approach, this text reinforces all math topics with extensive applications to show the student the value of math as a tool. Therefore, if the need for math is instantly demonstrated, the tool is retained.
New to This Edition
Two new chapters have been added to expand on the mathematics needed for computer technology—Analog to Digital and Introduction to Computers and Programming.
Numerous mini-math applications have now been integrated into the material so that the student can immediately witness the practical applications of mathematics.
A Companion Website at has an additional bank of questions that further tests student understanding.
The end-of-section self-test evaluation points list the objectives and a set of questions that test the student's level of comprehension. The cheek-box design invites students to take an active role in monitoring their progress.

25. Convergence to Axiomatic View
Ends and Values - a matter of choice
The ends and values of mathematics education, or logical and quantitative
skill development may vary between students. Teachers who have been
suddenly assigned a mathematics courses, despite a lack of background in
mathematics or a quantitive discipline, may not value the logical
development of mathematics. For many students and teachers, mathematics
appears to be collection of facts and methods to learn and teach without
any attempt to obtain or provide a thought-based development.
One grade 8 student on observing my attempts to explain and justify
mathematical methods instead of teaching them as facts told me that
mathematics teachers were hired only to present mathematical correct
methods, and thus I was doing my job properly, the methods I was covering
would not need explanation nor justification. For many students, the
notion that mathematics has a logical structure, one in which ideas are
developed and derived in place of being given, is odd and not necessary.
Indeed, they may be partially correct. The common know-how in mathematics
may be met and mastered with comprehension or thought-based development,
but for students or the common person in the streets, the take-home value
of an operational command of counting, figuring and measuring skills with
take home value in a repeatable and reproducible manner is more important
than full or partial comprehension of why methods work in the first years
of mathematics education and for students who may or may not go further
in mathematics.
The site approach and Choice
Logic chapters 1 to 5 in Three Skills for Algebra end with a discussion
of Islands and Divisions of Knowledge. The latter provides a metaphor
for the organization of mathematics and the possibility of having
different starting points for its development.
Site pages show with two or more paths how the existence of real numbers
and their arithmetic properties can be derived from common practices
assumptions about numbers and geometry with maps and plans. The
demonstrations appear to be empirically and pedagogical sound, given the
need to introduce skills, patterns and even axioms in an inductive
manner. Site pages also provide a systematics introduction to algebra, or
the shorthand role of letters and symbols.
Nostalgia or attraction to the rigour of modern mathematics means the
demonstration were written in a thought-based manner with as much rigour
as possible. But there is a difficulty. Too much explanation may
overwhelm skill mastery. Moreover, mastery of skills with care to avoid
the domino effect of errors has great take-home value in which full or
partial comprehension of why is optional. The foregoing suggests ends and
values for instruction that support a rigourous development of skills,
step by step, because of the take-home value with explanations why being
available and present where they do not overwhelm.
Site pages are part of a two level approach POMME. The first level and
part of the second are dedicated to providing skills and concepts with
take-home value, by rote if need-be. The second level, what is left, is
dedicated to a thought-based development that does not begin with the
modern mathematics mid-way axioms for secondary mathematics, but implies
them. See site slow paths, computational and geometric, for the
thought-based development of numbers and their properties from counting
to the properties of real and complex numbers. The paths may not be given
in classes where students have mixed ends and values - some wanting
mathematics with take-home value only - some wanting to continue onto
college programs in disciplines requiring or best taught with a command
of calculus. The second level in full, as presented here, values thought-
or pattern-based development of skills and concepts as possible
preparation for college studies in mathematical fields.
The thought-based development of numbers and their properties from
counting to the properties of real and complex number, with the
subsequent assumption of those properties as axioms for the further
logical development of mathematics implies a partial convergence of the
site two level approach POMME for quantitative and logical skill
development with modern mathematics curricula.
The modern mathematics curricula I saw began well at the start of senior
high school mathematics, but soon departed from pure mathematics with the
employment of a diagrams in the introduction of trigonometry, analytic
geometry, and calculus to develop methods and prove theorems. The
diagram-free development, a possibility in university mathematics, would
be too difficult and have no context in senior high school mathematics.
Whence some departure is needed - in for a penny, in for pound. The site
development provides a departure in a two-level manner, with one level
focusing on empirical rigour in skill mastery and the second level offer
a thought-based development consistent first the need to sanction and
extend common skills and know-how, with numbers, maps and plans.
Modern Mathematics Curricula,
In the modern mathematics curriculum, circa 1955-1990, the existence of
the real numbers and the satisfaction of above properties were given as
assumptions or axioms. That provides a simple starting point for a
logical development of secondary and college mathematics. A justification
of the axioms might then be seen by students who enter mathematics
studies in university. In particular, assumptions for set existence and
"safe" set construction provide an axiomatic codification, Euclidean
style, for pure mathematics. For rigour, the approach sould be context-
and diagram-free, a rigour not possible before university level studies
in pure mathematics. As said, the modern mathematics curricula depart
with the employment of diagrams in the introduction of trigonometry,
analytic geometry, and calculus to develop methods and prove theorems.
For all students, and many teachers, axioms for real numbers and within
them, rational numbers, integers, natural numbers and whole numbers, the
axioms will appear and will have to be accepted without explanation. But
the axioms were not chosen to continue and sanction common knowledge and
practices with decimals and diagrams which would have had take-home
value. The axioms for real numbers provided a view of numbers that did
not explicitly sanction and support common skills in counting, figuring
and measuring with maps, plans and decimals. The modern mathematics
curricula was not designed to meet the needs of students who would have
benefited from mathematics with take-home value. The modern mathematics
curricula was designed to prepare students for college programs that
required calculus or beyond, with context-free development being an
objective. Axioms and further development of mathematics did not sanction
earlier number skills and sense with fractions and decimals.
For many students and many of their teachers, the modern mathematics
curricula was further flawed in that the secondary level axioms were
described algebraically with out a systematics introduction of the
shorthand role of letters and symbols. Whence the deductive axiomatic
development of mathematics was beyond the reach of students and teachers
for whom the algebraic way of reasoning with letters and symbols on paper
was not a natural talent. The slower and more detailed systematic
development of algebraic reasoning in site pages points to a remedy, one
that requires less natural talent |
Calculus may not seem very important to you but the lessons and skills you learn will be with for your whole lifetime!
Calculus is the mathematical study of continuous change. It helps you practice and develop your logic/reasoning skills. It throws challenging problems your way which make you think. Although you may never use calculus ever again after school or college, you will definitely hold on to the lessons that calculus teaches you.
Things like time management, how to be organized, how to accomplish things on time, how to perform under pressure, how to be responsible are just some of the things Calculus helps you become proficient in. Traits that will help you succeed.
Calculus plays a big role in most universities today as students in the fields of economics, science, business, engineering, computer science, and so on are all required to take Calculus as prerequisites.
