Formats Book DescriptionI have taught Calculus at the University level for well over 20 years now. When I first arrived, the school had already adopted the 1st edition of Anton's Calculus, and the school (and myself) have liked it so much that we have stuck with Anton for 20 years, until 2000. For some reason, the Math Department has decided to change to Stewart's book. Let me tell you, Anton's book is most certainly the best. The examples actually explain the concept, the concepts are explained coherently in words before the mathematics is presented, graphs are abundant where necessary, and the book eases students into Calculus. I have found that deficiencies in trigonometry plague students through the calculus sequence. Mr. Anton provides a thorough review in Appendix 1, which clears up the problems. Also, Chapter 1 is a review of Algebra and Coordinate Geometry. This gets students into a mental framework necessary to learn Limits (Chap 2), Differentiation (Chaps 3-4), Integration (Chaps 5-6), Logs and Exponential Functions (Chap7), etc. My ONLY complaint about this book is the way Anton leaves logs and the number e out until Chap 7. Students are expected to learn it all at once, where I feel it would be better distributed throughout the exercise sets. But, again, that is my ONLY complaint. IF YOU WANT YOUR STUDENTS TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN CALCULUS, CHOOSE THIS TEXT. It truly beats the pants off Stewart's book! After taking differential calculus, integral calculus, and elementary differential equations, I took a year off of college. Then when I came back, I had forgotten alot of things concerning those courses. Well, I bought this book because it had the most pages and seemed to cover the most information. Well, it was a good buy! It covered ALL of the material that I had covered in those 3 previous courses. It was a great book for refreshing my memory. This would also be a great book for learning calc for the first time also. Anton's Calculus textbook is the best I have ran across. It is a fantastic text, most of the proofs are worked out and for the most part easy to follow. His writing style is clear and extensive in which he avoids being dense which is a common pitfall in many math textbooks.. (Especially Calculus.) The problems are generally the right difficulty, and the examples are generally very good. He spends a lot of time concentrating on concepts over computational techniques. Paraphrasing, I completely agree with his preface in which its more important to understand the concepts. . . because every problem in the book has been computationally solved, understanding the concepts is the most important thing. This is especially true of the at times esoteric and difficult subject of vector calculus at the end of the text. Anton also integrates (no pun intended) the use of CAS and graphing calculators in his text. The down side to the book is probably its price. It is a very expensive book! As good as this book is, Calculus is a hard subject matter. the textbook alone is not enough. Supplement it with a great teacher and a lot of hard work and one should learn calculus very well. To add a bit more information to the raw data of these reviews, I've mapped the universe of all possible readers of this book onto a set of x-y axes. Let the x-axis run from "non-Math-types" up through "Math-types." Let they y-axis go from "non-geniuses" up through "geniuses:" - Quadrant I: genius Math-types will probably be both irritated and bored with this book. Their irritation will spring from the fact that not all of the pure-math proofs they'll be looking for are here. The book focuses more on explaining and doing calculus than on proving it. Most of the material is proven (properly: no missing steps), but the proofs that would get in the way of doing calculus are omitted. Quadrant Is will be bored because the author does his best to pound on a topic until practically everyone can understand it. Genius math-types, since they're inherently capable of grasping this material from proofs alone, will not be pleased by this repetition. For Quadrant Is, some version of Tom M. Apostol's Calculus books (ISBNs 9686708103, 842915003X, 8429150013, 0471000051, 0471503037, 0471000078, or 0471000086) would be a better text. - Quadrant II: genius non-Math-types will probably prefer the fact that the author skipped some proofs in favor of applications. However, like the Quadrant Is, they'll probably be somewhat bored by the author's "slowness" in moving on after he introduces a topic. This book will be OK for them, but they'd probably prefer a more "terse" presentation. Unfortunately, I don't have any recommendations for such a book. - Quadrant III: non-genius non-Math-types (i.e., "normal" people), will find this book just right. As noted above, the author's focus is on teaching and using calculus, not necessarily on proving it. If the proofs are complex enough that they'd distract from that mission, they're either relegated to Appendix G or omitted (though most proofs are present). Best of all, the author doesn't skip steps in his proofs: all the steps are there in their detailed glory. Later in the book, he will occasionally skip a simplification of an expression, but none of the "proof" material is missing. In the latter half of the book, he sometimes does the "proof is left as an exercise for the student" routine, but those are for non-essential proofs. After the author introduces a topic/theorem/method, he always gives multiple (at least three) examples. So, if the readers are having trouble with the equations and proofs, they'll have several chances to figure out what he means from the examples. Also, all the odd problems have answers in the back of the book. There are no steps included with the answers, but usually that's not a problem (since there are so many examples in the book). I also found the appendices giving explanations of pre-Calculus math facts very useful: it's been a long time since I've seen those things, so I needed the refresher. - Quadrant IV: non-genius Math-types will join the Quadrant Is in disliking the skipping of several proofs, but, like the Quadrant IIIs, will be pleased with the thorough, step-by-step nature of the existing proofs. Not the best choice of a textbook for them, but for those who are having trouble with a "pure math" Calculus book, this is a good supplement. Overall, this is an excellent book (I rate it 5 stars out of 5). The author did a wonderful job matching his material to his chosen audience (Quadrant III, "normal" people). For non-genius non-math-types, I highly recommend it. For genius non-math-types and non-genius math-types, it's OK. Genius math-types should avoid it and try something like Apostol's Calculus.Read more › Our school used this book for calc 3 and I'm very happy with the selection. Our teacher taught the theory part of the material. He rarely taught how to do the work (he relied on the book to do that and it was very understandable and taught well). The teacher's theory helped to get the material to our long term memories so hopefully your teachers' are using the same method. So if you need a book to show you how to work through the problems of Calc 3, buy this one, it'll do the job.

The TI-86 can be thought of as the tier among various Texas Instruments calculators directly above the TI-83 and TI-84 line. In addition to having a larger screen than the TI-83, the TI-86 also allows the user to type in lower case and Greek letters and features five softkeys, which improve menu navigation and can be programmed by the user for quick access to common operations such as decimal-to-fraction conversion. The calculator also handles vectors, matrices and complex numbers better than the TI-83. One drawback, however, is that the statistics package on the TI-83 range doesn't come preloaded on the TI-86. However, it can be downloaded from the Texas Instruments program archive and installed on the calculator using the link cable.[1]

Technology: You will need a graphing calculator for this course.I strongly recommend a TI-83, TI-83 Plus or TI-84.We will also use a computer algebra system called Mathematica®for lab activities.UNC has a site license for the software, and it is available in ROSS and UC labs.WeBWorK will be used for homework assignments, and course materials will be available on the class website. Course Description: Inspired by problems in astronomy, Isaac Newton and Wilhelm Gottfried Leibnitz developed the ideas of calculus roughly 300 years ago. Since then, calculus has provided the foundation for advances in many other fields, even those which seem far removed from mathematics. You will find applications in chemistry, physics, economics, biology, medicine, business, psychology, and of course mathematics. Calculus is so important that it is often considered the gateway to many of the disciplines in which it is used. The importance of calculus lies in its power to reduce complicated problems to simple rules and procedures. While these procedures can be (and often are) taught with little regard to the underlying mathematical concepts or their practical uses, our emphasis will be on understanding all of these: concepts, procedures and uses. We will engage in the full mathematics process, which includes searching for patterns, order, and reason; creating models of real world situations to clarify and predict better what happens around us; understanding and explaining ideas clearly; and applying the mathematics we know to solve unfamiliar problems. Participation in this variety of mathematical activities is challenging, and for many students, the experience will be vastly different from experiences in more traditional mathematics course. So what is calculus? Very briefly, calculus is the study of changing quantities. It has two main themes: differentiation, which studies rates of change and is the focus of this course; and integration, which studies accumulating quantities and will be introduced this semester but is more fully developed in Calc II.Calculus I is an introduction to the tools, methods, and applications of single-variable differential calculus. Central concepts of the course are that of a function and its derivative. We begin by a review of basic functions and their properties. Next we'll discuss a concept of a limit that is necessary to give the definition of a derivative. After mastering limits and their use in defining derivatives of basic functions, we'll study a collection of simple rules that allows us to easily compute the derivative of any function expressible in terms of elementary functions.We'll discuss various applications of differential calculus to real-life problems. In particular, we'll talk about differential equations, their (numerical) solutions. Finally we will introduce the idea of the definite integral to model aspects of accumulation. Goals:Our course is one of the General Education courses and it aims to satisfy the following outcome objectives in the area of Mathematics: Students will demonstrate proficiency in the use of mathematics to structure their understanding of and investigate questions in the world around them. Students will demonstrate proficiency in treating mathematical content at an appropriate level. Students will demonstrate competence in the use of numerical, graphical, and algebraic representations. Students will demonstrate the ability to interpret data, analyze graphical information, and communicate solutions in written and oral form. Students will demonstrate proficiency in the use of mathematics to formulate and solve problems. Students will demonstrate proficiency in using technology such as handheld calculators and computers to support their use of mathematics. Labs:On Tuesdays we will work in small groups on labs that develop the central concepts in the course. Attendance and participation is especially crucial on these days. You will turn in individual write-ups of these class activities and make presentations of your work to the other groups in the class. It is also important to ask questions of the other groups (who will generally work on related but slightly different problems than your own group) when they present as you will be responsible for all the problems on exams. Attendance:There may be topics covered in class that are not in the text. You are responsible for all material covered. I don't take attendance, but there is a strong correlation between attendance and final grades. Missing class more than once or twice during the semester is likely to affect your grade, either directly or indirectly. If you do miss class, you should get notes and/or handouts from your classmates and/or see me during office hours. Homework: There are three types of homework assignments in this class (see the homework page for details): Written homework will usually consist of a small number of relatively comprehensive problems mostly drawn from the Tuesday labs. The emphasis for these assignments is on presentation and explanation. On-line homework will usually consist of two WeBWorK-based assignments each week. You are allowed six attempts for each question and you can get partial credit if you only get part of a problem right.These problems will be similar to those in the book and are graded immediately. There are 314 problems assigned throughout the semester worth one point each. Since this category accounts for 250 points of your final grade, there is significant opportunity for extra credit. Suggested practice problems from the text are also provided on the homework page of the class website. The answers to most of these problems are in the text, so I will not collect them.However, you will see some of these problems (verbatim or with slight variations) on tests, so completing the problems is strongly encouraged! The key to success in this course is regularly working with other students in the class, doing the homework early and asking questions when you have them!!! We will discuss homework problems in class, but there will often not be enough time to discuss all of them. Please come to office hours or visit the math tutoring lab if you have additional questions about the homework. Late Policy:WebWorK assignments will have a closing date and time and will not be accepted late.All other work is due at the beginning of class on the announced due date.I may accept late written homework for reduced credit, until I have graded an assignment or project.After I have graded the pile, I will no longer accept late work and you will receive a 0.I generally grade materials within a couple days of collecting them, and sometimes grade them the same day they are collected.Expect to lose approximately 10% for each day an assignment is late. Exams: We will have four in-class exams (roughly covering Chapters 1, 2, 4 and 5), and a comprehensive final exam. The final exam will be Monday, December 9th, from 4:15 to 6:45 pm. Make-up exams are possible only if there is a documented emergency. Gateway Test: There will be a WeBWorK-based test on differentiation after we have covered the short-cut rules for taking derivatives in Chapter 3.You will be able to take the test as many times as you like during the 2 week period that it is open.A passing grade is 6 out of 7, and each problem is graded as correct or incorrect (no partial credit).Successful completion of the Gateway Test during the allotted time frame is worth 2/3 of a letter grade. Workload and Assistance:You should expect to spend 8 to 12 hours each week outside of class working on the course material. Some weeks (those in which an exam is scheduled, for instance) may require more of your time, other weeks may require less, but on average, budget 8 to 12 hours each week. I can't stress enough that in order to be successful in this class you should spend much of this time working with other students in the class! Please ask questions and seek assistance as needed. You may email me at any time, and I encourage you to make use of my office hours and the Thursday group study room.In addition there are two tutoring centers (see for hours and more information): The math tutoring lab is located in Ross 1250 and will open the second week of classes. It is a great place to go if you have a quick question or get stuck on a particular problem.No appointment is necessary. The university tutoring Center is located in Michener L120. It provides more personalized one-on-one tutoring in many areas (including Mathematics). An appointment is necessary. Collaboration: I assume that you are here to learn. If you talk to each other, you will learn from each other, perhaps more than you will learn from me.I encourage you to form study groups.Try the homework yourself, and then get together with a study group to go over questions, and to study for tests.You will learn a great deal from articulating your questions and explaining material to your peers.Discussion of assigned homework is encouraged, but you should be sure you fully understand the material by writing your solutions on your own.Evidence of any cheating or collaboration on work assigned to be completed individually will result in a 0 for that work, at minimum. Honor Code: All members of the University of Northern Colorado community are entrusted with the responsibility to uphold and promote five fundamental values: Honesty, Trust, Respect, Fairness, and Responsibility. These core elements foster an atmosphere, inside and outside of the classroom, which serves as a foundation and guides the UNC community's academic, professional, and personal growth. Endorsement of these core elements by students, faculty, staff, administration, and trustees strengthens the integrity and value of our academic climate. UNC's policies and recommendations for academic misconduct will be followed. For additional information, please see the Dean of Student's website, Student Handbook link Portable Electronic Devices: Please extend courtesy to your instructor and fellow students by turning off your portable electronic devices, and putting them away in your bag, during class. If you know that you may need to accept an emergency phone call during class or if you have children in childcare or school, please let the instructor know. If you need to take a phone call during class, please step out of the classroom while you complete your call. Students with Disabilities: Students who require special accommodations due to a disability should contact Disabilities Support Services (351-2289) as soon as possible to better ensure that accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion.

Summary: Syllabus for Math 520, Geometry for Teachers, Summer 2011 Instructor: Dr. Elizabeth Arnold e-mail: arnoldea@math.jmu.edu Phone: 568-6532 URL: Office: Roop 111 Office Hours: TBD COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course will cover topics from Euclidean and non-Euclidean Geometry. We will use the software Geometry Explorer as a supplement to the text. This software can be installed on Windows, Macintosh or Linux machines. It is understood that the students have as a pre-requisite an in-depth, working knowledge of (high school level) Euclidean geometry. Prior experience with proving mathematical results is highly recommended. The goal of this class is to expose you to new concepts in geometry and to deepen your understanding of basic concepts in Euclidean geometry. This is NOT a methods course, nor is it a workshop where you will take home worksheets, projects, etc. for your own students. This is a content course where you will broaden your knowledge and hopefully your appreciation of geometry, which should enhance the teaching of your individual curriculum. Topics for this course will include axiomatic geometry, advanced Euclidean geome- try, analytic geometry, transformational geometry, non-Euclidean geometry and fractal geometry. We will cover most of the sections in Chapters 1, 2, 5, 7 and 9 of the text. TEXT: Geometry with Geometry Explorer by Michael Hvidsten, Geometry Explorer CD (included with text) The text can be obtained in one of three ways.

Integrated Mathematics Sequence for High School Mathematics Curriculum Integrated Mathematics has been in the NC SCS for Mathematics since the 1998 revision. The integrated mathematics courses should be treated as a package. The courses are listed as a group in the high school graduation requirements . A student who has had IM I and IM II should proceed to IM III. The three courses (as a package) are equivalent to the conventional courses (Algebra I, Geometry & Algebra II as a package). The Integrated Mathematics I and II curriculum should not be used as a substitute for an Algebra IA, Algebra IB sequence. Integrated Mathematics is in the Standard Course of Study and should be taught with the objectives in the SCS. End of Course Tests Once the new assessment system is developed (expected in 2011-2012) the set of EOCs for the integrated mathematics sequence (IM I, II, III) will be similar to the set of EOCs for the conventional sequence (Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II). Up until this school year (2008-2009) the students in the integrated sequence took all 3 of the math EOCs (Algebra I after IMII; Geometry during IM III; and Algebra II at the end of IM III). However, the State Board of Education has granted a waiver for integrated mathematics students as we wait for a our new testing system to be developed (expected in 2011-2012), and integrated mathematics students during 2008-2009; 2009-2010, and 2010-2011 will not be required to take the Geometry EOC. This is an interim measure to allow for the new assessment system to be developed (expected in 2011-2012). Once the new assessment system is developed, the EOCs expected for the integrated sequence will be comparable to the EOCs expected for the conventional sequence. Currently IM students take the Algebra I EOC after IM II and Algebra II EOC at the end of IM III. Textbooks The Textbook commission did not choose a book for Integrated Math I, II, III during the last mathematics textbook adoption; so, there is not a book on the state list at this time. The new adoption list for high school mathematics textbooks in NC is expected in October 2009. The next textbook list will have choices for Integrated Mathematics. The Integrated Mathematics I, II, III standards include all objectives in Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II plus some topics in discrete mathematics and statistics. There are Integrated Mathematics textbooks available for purchase. Integrated Mathematics Course Codes and Sample Descriptions 2051 Integrated Mathematics I (IM I) Note: The Integrated Algebra/Geometry sequence of courses is an investigative mathematics sequence that includes four major strands: algebra, geometry, statistics, and discrete mathematics. The first year the topics are dealt with on an introductory level and each successive year the topics are studied in more depth. IM I, II, and III include all of the objectives for Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II in the NC Standard Course of Study. Integrated Mathematics I (IMI) provides students the opportunity to study the introduction of algebra, geometry, statistics, and discrete mathematics using a problem centered approach that emphasizes the connections between the four strands. Students who successfully complete IM I will take IM II the following year. 2052 Integrated Mathematics II (IM II) Note: (See note for IM I.) All students in this class take the Algebra I End-of-Course Test. This course provides students the opportunity to study matrices, systems of equations, coordinate and transformational geometry, least squares regression, linear models, power models, network optimization, introductory trigonometry with triangles and circles, and probability. The instruction features a problem-centered approach that emphasizes connections between algebra, geometry, statistics and discrete mathematics. Students who successfully complete IM II will take IM III the following year. 2053 Integrated Mathematics III (IM III) Note: (See note for IM I.) All students in this class take Algebra II End-of-Course Test. This course provides students the opportunity to study law of cosines and sines, linear programming, voting preferences and sampling techniques, advanced algebraic concepts (polynomial, exponential, periodic and rational expressions to model relations among quantitative variables), congruence of triangles, properties of parallelograms, inductive and deductive reasoning, normal distribution as a model of variation, statistical process control, and solving problems including recursive and sequential change. The instruction features a problem centered approach that emphasizes the connections between algebra, geometry, statistics and discrete mathematics. Students who successfully complete IM III may choose to continue their study of mathematics by taking IM IV, Pre-Calculus, or Advanced Functions and Modeling. 2054 Integrated Mathematics IV (IM IV) This course provides the opportunity for students to study limits, rates of change, how area relates to integrals, permutations and combinations, mathematical induction, logarithmic functions, composite and inverse functions, periodic functions, vectors, linearizing data, polynomial and rational functions, complex numbers, binomial distributions, space geometry, informatics (the mathematics of databases and search engines, cryptography, error-correcting codes, data compression), problem solving, algorithms, and spreadsheets. The instruction features a problem centered approach that emphasizes the connections between algebra, geometry, statistics and discrete mathematics. Students who successfully complete IM IV may choose to continue their study of mathematics by taking AP Calculus AB or AP Calculus BC, and/ or AP Statistics. It is recommended that those students considering calculus should take Honors IM IV. The honors level of the course serves as a bridge between Honors IM III and AP Calculus and is designed for college-bound students who plan to major in math or a math-related field.
For elementary, intermediate, and advanced clinical mathematics instruction in programs in medical/clinical laboratory science, from the associate's level through the bachelor's and master's level, through the new doctorate in clinical laboratory science ("DCLS"). Also for wide audiences of pathologists, pathology residents, medical students, nurses, pharmacists, biochemists, biomedical engineers, physician assistants, and analytical chemists. This accessible text brings together mathematical techniques that will be indispensable to every student, teacher, practitioner, and user of chemistry- or biology-related laboratory work. Responding to the concerns of both instructors and students, CLINICAL LABORATORY MATHEMATICS begins with a review of arithmetic and algebra. Next, it presents example-rich chapters on exponential notation and logarithms, rounding and figure significance, measurement systems, solutions and concentrations, dilutions, proportionality, graphs, rates of change, statistics, chemistry, quality control, and method evaluation. It answers frequently asked questions, identifies common misunderstandings, and offers an optional advanced section online. Throughout, the author explains why a solid understanding of math is critical in today's high-technology clinical laboratories. Practice problems are strategically designed to present real-world scenarios with both context and consequence. Supporting both self-guided study and traditional lecture-discussion, the text is logically organized and liberally cross-referenced, revealing hidden connections and common motifs.

The course is cross-listed as both a biology and biomedical engineering class. "I've previously taken regular calculus classes with engineers and wondered what would the classes ever be useful for," said Kate Coyle, a biology major who completed the Dynamics class and graduated this semester. "Labs I've had in biology and physics show you the protocol and the expected result. "This is not the same, at all. We were solving real problems every day." Students work through problems using an online interactive textbook, Dynamics of Biological Systems: A Modeling Manual Chiel wrote and the computer programming language Mathematica, which scientists worldwide rely on to build mathematical models of complex systems. Chiel's book is available free to students as well as teachers who may want to use it as is or as a model for their own classes. When teams become stuck on a problem, ,Chiel or a teaching assistant makes suggestions, gives clues and tries to coax out the answer. After success, teachers quiz individuals about how they found the solution and what they'd learned. The class of 30 is spread out among hexagonal tables. Teams power up their laptops and go to work. Each day the teachers rotate to a different group of students, and after each class they compare notes on who has mastered the skills and who needs extra help, Gill said. When the second half of the semester begins, teams choose a mathematical model that was recently published in a scientific journal, begin reconstructing and analyzing it and then writing in detail what they learn. The students then extend the model to answer new questions that they ask themselves, and write up results as if they were writing for a scientific journal. Coyle and her teammates Valencia Williams and Joshua DeRivera focused on a pa

MTMS Blog Function is a fundamental concept in mathematics; it is one that students explore repeatedly, at increasing levels of sophistication, throughout the early and middle grades (and beyond) (Steketee and Scher 2011). In the early grades, students may encounter functions as lists of inputs and outputs in classroom activities such as "Guess My Rule" (Huinker 2002). With that activity, students are given input values one by one as suggested in figure 1. With each additional input, students are asked to construct a single rule that transforms each value in the "input" column into the corresponding "output" value at right. In subsequent activities, students may consider functions as "machines" that provide a specific output for a given input (Reeves 2005, p. 251). For instance, the tasks in figure 2 were developed for third graders studying functions. Fig. 2 These illustrations render a third-grade version of a function machine task. In the middle grades (and beyond), students experience functions as (a) plots of ordered pairs on the coordinate plane and (b) as formulas to be evaluated for particular values of x (King 2002). Such representations are highlighted in figure 3. Unfortunately, none of these representations adequately capture the dynamic nature of function; instead, each "portray(s) input and output in a discrete and static way" (Steketee and Scher 2011, p. 49). Dynagraphs: An Introduction As an alternative to function representations presented in figures 1–3, consider the dynagraph sketch shown in figure 4. The point along the bottom number line represents an input value of an unknown function. The upper point represents the corresponding output value of the function for the given input. As the bottom point is dragged, students make conjectures concerning the relationship between the input and output. For instance, looking at a dynagraph, such as that depicted in figure 4, students might guess that the following relationships hold: Output = 2Input (i.e., y = 2x) Output = Input + 2 (i.e., y = x + 2) Output = 6 – Input (i.e., y = 6 – x) Output = 0.5Input + 3 (i.e., y = 0.5x + 3) By dragging the bottom point, students can test their conjectures against new input-output pairs. The image in figure 5 was generated by dragging the "input" point 4 units to the left. Fig. 5 This graph results when the point along the input number line is dragged 4 units to the left. Of the original conjectures, only the last one holds for both input values. Clicking on the "Show Equation" checkbox, students see that the relationship between input and output is, indeed, defined as y = 0.5x + 3. As figure 6 suggests, teachers (and students) can type in new functions into the input box and explore new rules. Fig. 6 Students can revealthe relationship between input and output by clicking on the "Show Equation" checkbox. Instructionally, the approach is similar to the "Guess My Rule" game with several important differences: The dynagraph emphasizes the continuous change of both the input and output values of the function. The interactive sketch gives students and teachers a way to manipulate inputs directly through dragging, encouraging students to see variables as quantities that vary. Dynagraphs were first envisioned by Goldenberg, Lewis, and O'Keefe (1992) as a means to bridge discrete, numerical representations of function (e.g., tables of values, function machines) with more sophisticated, abstract representations that students encounter in the later grades (e.g., formulas and equations, Cartesian plots). From Dynagraphs to Cartesian Plots The output number line of a dynagraph can be rotated 90 degrees to yield a dynagraph that resembles the Cartesian plane (as shown in fig. 7). Constructing lines through "input" and "output" points perpendicular to the number lines, the x-y pairs are plotted by tracing the intersection of the perpendiculars (as shown in fig. 8). Fig. 7 This dynagraph image, showing an output number line rotated 90 degrees, is available at Dynagraphs are a powerful representation to help students better grasp the idea of function. Traditionally, students in the upper middle grades explore graphs of functions wholly within the Cartesian plane. Too often, this approach doesn't adequately connect back to experiences that students have had with functions in the earlier grades. By giving students a way to explore functions in one dimension, dynagraphs help students focus on relationships between inputs and outputs while considering functions as objects. Dynagraphs may also be used to help students transition to Cartesian graphing. Michael Todd Edwards is an associate professor of mathematics education at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

What. Intelligent Control considers non-traditional modelling and control approaches to nonlinear systems. Fuzzy logic, neural networks and evolutionary computing techniques are the main tools used. The book presents a modular switching fuzzy logic controller where a PD-type fuzzy controller is executed first followed by a PI-type fuzzy controller thus improving the performance of the controller compared with a PID-type fuzzy controller. presented calculus as an organic evolution of ideas beginning with the discoveries of Greek scholars, such as Archimedes, Pythagoras, and Euclid, and developing through the centuries in the work of Kepler, Galileo, Fermat, Newton, and Leibniz. Through this unique approach, Toeplitz summarized and elucidated the major mathematical advances that contributed to modern calculus.

Building on the fundamental concepts developed in introductory mathematical methods, this unit introduces students to the mathematics and physics needed to build virtual worlds in computers. Specifically, this unit focuses on three principal concepts: the mathematical description of affine spaces; the representation and properties of subsets of space; and, the physics of moving and interacting objects. Students will study inter-related topics in mathematics that encompass and bind these concepts together, enabling them to build a thorough understanding of the mathematics and physics relevant to the representation of virtual worlds. The mathematical techniques developed throughout this unit will be directly applicable to further studies in areas such as game design, computer graphics, animation, 3D modelling and advanced game development.
There's MathLab, Octave, Mathematica. Can anyone tell me how these relate, and which one is the best one to start a high schooler on? No specific project; just want to increase math skills. Is one of these better as an aid for learning high school level math? To the MATHEMATICA users here: is there an online course, book, or website that would help a teacher or student use Mathematic to help learn mathematics? Let's imagine it is a self-guided course. Let's say I want to brush up on my mathematic skills in the evening. Is there interactive software course for such a thing? Perhaps I misunderstood the question, but it seems to me that the asker wants to boost her highschooler's MATH skills not teach him a math PROGRAMMING language. If that is the case (I am a Learning Skills Specialist in math and chemistry at our local Community College), I suggest trying some free websites like the DESMOS graphing calculator and Wolfram-Alpha which will answer almost any math problem (though not always in the format I'd like when you get to Calc II and parametrics/polar coordinates). If I misinterpreted the question, please forgive my ignorance.... I use Mathematica exclusively. That said, I have seen a free package called Geogebra ( which looks extremely impressive; I just haven't taken the time to learn it. Were I in high school and had no access to Mathematica, I would give this a try. I would take a look at Sage ( It's a Python-based system that combines a lot of free and open-source math software (including SymPy and NumPy). The graphical interface runs in a web browser. You can try it without installing anything. Beware anything commercial: if your highschooler has access to such software, can you guarantee he or she will continue to do so? Imagine going to college and no longer being able to use the stuff you've gotten used to. Free software can't be taken away, so if you learn how to use such a tool, you can take it with you wherever you go. An open source competitor to MATLAB / Octave that has gained a lot of traction this past year is Julia. Julia performs at speeds of C/C++ with a syntax that is similar to MATLAB. Julia also has a package management system similar to R but, for now at least, with far fewer packages than R. A lot of math teachers in the twitterverse like brilliant.org From their website: Brilliant.org provides a challenging intellectual environment to anyone with internet access and a passion for mathematics and physics. By connecting motivated thinkers worldwide, Brilliant.org aims to be a hub where the worlds most promising minds recieve the opportunities they deserve, no matter where they are from. (what passes for credentials: D.Phil in theoretical physics, particularly numerical simulation, and undergraduate physics teacher for a few years) MatLab and Octave are very similar (Octave is an open-source version of MatLab); they're simple programming language that specialize in numerics, particularly matrix manipulation. Neither, last time I used them (I taught a course in computational physics using matlab and tried to run student code in octave) is particularly strong with symbolics. In other words, if you want a number for an answer, they're okay... ...but honestly if you want a number for an answer, I think as a high-schooler you'd be better off learning Python and using the Numpy/Scipy libraries. That way you have a real general-purpose language to use for lots of other things. Matlab and Octave are okay, but they're terrible programming languages (I did my thesis research in Python/numpy; it's very capable). For symbolic math, Mathematica is the commercial standard and a lot of people swear by it. For high school math where you're typically doing fairly straightforward symbolic work ("Integrate x^2 + 2x+ 1"), something like Mathematica is useful... ...but for whatever reason, I personally can't stand it and wound up using Maxima ( which is an OSS symbolic math tool. It's not the easiest thing to learn, but if it can handle multipole expansion of tensors for me, it would do just fine for a high-schooler, plus would cost them nothing so they could use it for life. Python has a symbolic library too (SymPy) but for just playing with concepts, I still recommend Maxima, particularly with one of the great front-ends (I personally use Emacs with iMaxima ( but I'm not sure I'd saddle a high-schooler with emacs unless they were really into computers). So my recommendations: Python/Numpy for numerical work, Maxima for symbolic work. Good solid tools, multiplatform so good on any computer and free to boot. Just what high school needs.

The author will help you to understand the meaning and function of mathematical concepts. The best way to learn it, is by doing it, the exercises in this book will help you do just that. Preface The aim of this book is to present some the basic mathematics that is needed by computer scientists. The reader is not expected to be a mathematician and we hope will find what follows useful. Just a word of warning. Unless you are one of the irritating minority mathematics is hard. You cannot just read a mathematics book like a novel. The combination of the compression made by the symbols used and the precision of the argument makes this impossible. It takes time and effort to decipher the mathematics and understand the meaning. It is a little like programming, it takes time to understand a lot of code and you never understand how to write code by just reading a manual - you have to do it! Mathematics is exactly the same, you need to do it. AppendixNick. ★★★★☆ 8 January 2013 Excellent Stuff. Intending to provide math in a nutshell for comp science.

Goals: Our goals involve gaining an introduction to the mathematical content of ordinary differential equations and their applications. This will include analytical, qualitative and numerical methods for ordinary differential equations. Prior to calculus, we used our understanding of the rules of algebra to develop techniques for solving algebraic equations. In this class we will use both the rules of algebra and the rules of calculus (e.g., differentiation shortcuts, integration techniques, etc.) to develop techniques for solving differential equations. We will continue to improve our ability to write mathematics. Why? The major application of calculus is posing, solving, and understanding solutions of differential equations. Because many laws of nature are equations involving rates at which quantities change, this idea is a derivative, and equations containing derivatives are differential equations. So, in order to understand the many processes of change in the world, one needs to understand differential equations. Evaluation: There will be weekly quizzes, occasional take-home assignments, two exams, and a cumulative final exam. Homework will be assigned but not collected. We will occasionally discuss the homework in class, but students are expected to clear up questions using my office hours. Quizzes and tests will be closed-book and administered in class. In-class quiz problems will be very similar to the assigned homework problems. The final exam will be cumulative (and worth twice a mid-term exam). No makeups will be given! Grading Policy: 2 exams at 100 points each, Quiz average out of 100 points, will drop 1 quiz score, Comprehensive Final exam worth 200 points. Students are required to take all exams at the scheduled hour as they appear on the syllabus and course schedule. A missed exam will result in the final exam being worth 300 points. There will be no late 'make-up' exams, as this is unfair to the rest of the class. The quizzes will be based largely on the suggested homework, and should be expected any day. Everyone is allowed to miss one quiz without penalty (for any reason). If you end up taking all of the quizzes, you may drop your low quiz score. Athletes or other individuals missing for school activities are to let me know BEFORE missing the quiz (or it lands above). Part of any correct write-up includes: connecting your work, proper notation, and an explanation of steps as you see necessary. You should write-up problems as if you were explaining them to some one else. Your overall performance in the course is measured by the total number of points you accumulate relative to the maximum 500 points possible. Your letter grade in this course will be based on the distribution below. These are the only points possible in this class, there is no extra credit (or 'make up'), your asking for extra credit is a clear indication that you have not read your contract (this syllabus). Total Class Points Percent % Letter Grade Interpretation 470 - 500 94 to 100 A Exceptional and Rare 450 - 469 90 to 93 B+ Outstanding 420 - 449 84 to 89 B Very Good 390 - 419 78 to 83 C+ Good 350 - 389 70 to 77 C Satisfactory - Average 300 - 349 60 to 69 D Unsatisfactory 0 - 299 Below 60 F Failure Course Policies: You are responsible for all that is announced or covered in class even if you are absent. You are responsible for all the material in a given section unless told otherwise, use the course schedule and suggested homework as a guide. A prerequisite for additional help outside the classroom is regular class attendance. Every student is required to establish a class contact, that is, a fellow classmate that you may contact in case you are having a problem with a particular homework exercise at night/weekend or in the event you miss class you can get the class notes from them. If you miss class, you are responsible for getting the notes from your 'class contact' (see above). Email is great for simple communications, but more complex issues must be handled in person. Don't use email as an excuse to avoid personal contact. Due to the overwhelming amount of email I receive, any email requests that involve more than a yes or no response may not get addressed, please come see me in that case. I expect you to read this syllabus and get clarification of any items you do not understand the first week of class. If you send me an email asking me about something covered in this syllabus, that email will be disregarded. Calculators and Computers. You may use a calculator/computer to help learn the material, but not on exams or quizzes. There are several portions of the class that will require the use of a computer, however, all of our examinations are carefully designed to be taken "closed book" without the use of calculators or computers. Examination problems will focus on the basic methods and problem solving techniques which every student of differential equations must know without a calculator or textbook. Important Dates to Remember: Exam 1: Wednesday, April 3rd Exam 2: Friday, April 26th Final Examination: Wednesday, May 15th; 10:30 - 12:30 There will be a link to your grades from our class web-page (these are NOT on blackboard). To check your grade login with your (Mercyhurst) email address as user name and your student ID as your password. You may change your password or email address once you have logged in. Access to your grades will be further explained in class. Homework Suggested Homework: I do not collect or grade the homework. You will be held accountable for the mastery of homework problems via the quizzes (which can occur any day). As such, you get no credit for merely attempting the homework, your goal is independent mastery of each type of problem assigned. The quizzes serve as an immediate assessment of the extent to which you mastered a particular assignment. Good quiz results should serve as positive feedback, but poor quiz results mean you must go back and master that material. Homework is far and away the single most important part of any mathematics course because this is when most of the learning takes place. Homework problems will be assigned regularly and I expect you to do them. If you are unable to do a problem I expect you to find out how to do it. You have at your disposal several means of meeting this expectation. You can stick with it until you figure it out yourself. You can discuss the problem with a classmate or several classmates (strongly encouraged). You can ask me about the problem in class, time permitting. You can see me individually during my office hours. I am always happy to talk to you during my office hours or at any other time if not otherwise committed. You can discuss the problem with anyone who can and is willing to help you. Simply ignoring a problem that you are unable to solve is not acceptable. You should continue to work problems of a given type (even beyond the assigned problems) until you see the pattern yourself, without assistance of any type. As you 'PRACTICE', keep in mind our stated goal 'to improve our ability to write mathematics, you will want to practice in the manner you will be accessed. In keeping with college policy, any student with a disability who needs academic accommodations must call Learning Differences Program secretary at 824-3017, to arrange a confidential appointment with the director of the Learning Differences Program during the first week of classes.

Calculus for Dummies The mere thought of having to take a required calculus course is enough to make legions of students break out in a cold sweat. Others who have no ...Show synopsisThe "can" master calculus. It's not nearly as tough as its mystique would lead you to think. Much of calculus is really just very advanced algebra, geometry, and trig. It builds upon and is a logical extension of those subjects. If you can do algebra, geometry, and trig, you can do calculus. "Calculus For Dummies" is intended for three groups of readers: Students taking their first calculus course - If you're enrolled in a calculus course and you find your textbook less than crystal clear, this is the book for you. It covers the most important topics in the first year of calculus: differentiation, integration, and infinite series.Students who need to brush up on their calculus to prepare for other studies - If you've had elementary calculus, but it's been a couple of years and you want to review the concepts to prepare for, say, some graduate program, "Calculus For Dummies" will give you a thorough, no-nonsense refresher course.Adults of all ages who'd like a good introduction to the subject - Non-student readers will find the book's exposition clear and accessible. "Calculus For Dummies" takes calculus out of the ivory tower and brings it down to earth. This "Calculus For Dummies" covers the following topics and more: Real-world examples of calculusThe two big ideas of calculus: differentiation and integrationWhy calculus worksPre-algebra and algebra reviewCommon functions and their graphsLimits and continuityIntegration and approximating areaSequences and series Don't buy the misconception.

Needless to say, I didn't get very far. Neither did the rest of the class except ONE (brilliant) student. This text is excellent in its presentation, both in text and graphics. I wish this had been my textbook for the class! I was in a jugle, a deep, dark, frightening jungle. The jungle of CALCULUS. Suddenly a light came in front. A subtle, fagile one but growing even larger and larger as I slowly crawled towards the middle of this book. Now I walk more confident, steping firmly with a backbone for dummies:-) I strongly recomend this book to everyone who have entered the financial area with weak mathematical skills
Excellent mathematical exercises for students up through professional mathematicians Although the Mathematical Olympiads are for high school students, the problems that appear on the exams are unusual and challenging enough to provide mathematical exercise for college students and professional mathematicians. One of the advantages of using these problems is that you know up front that the problem has a solution that involves only "elementary" mathematics. Therefore, with some proper direction, the problems can be used in classes in mathematical research and problem solving at the college level. If the goal is research, giving the student an appropriate Olympiad problem would be an excellent starting point and if the point is to solve challenging and doable problems, there are none better than those found in this and similar books. The problems in this book are those appearing in the USA Mathematical Olympiad and International Mathematical Olympiad competitions in the year 2005. The problems are stated in the first section, hints for solution appear in the next section, followed by the formal solutions.

There is a newer edition of this item: Describes and explains uses of equations, polynomials, the binomial formula, exponential functions, logarithms, and much more, with exercises and answers. Over the years, Barron's popular and widely-used Easy Way books have proven themselves to be accessible self-teaching manuals. They have also found their way into many classrooms as valuable and easy-to-use textbook supplements. The titles cover a wide variety of both practical and academic topics, presenting fundamental subject matter so that it can be clearly understood and provide a foundation for more advanced study. Easy Way books fulfill many purposes. They help students improve their grades, serve as good test preparation review books, and provide readers working outside classroom settings with practical information on subjects that relate to their occupations and careers. All Easy Way books include review questions and mini-tests with answers. All new Easy Way editions feature type in two-colors, the second color used to highlight important study points and topic heads. Most Helpful Customer Reviews The device of attaching math problems to a story line, and showing the efforts of the characters to solve them, is the key to this book's unique appeal for younger kids who want to get into algebra (and can handle the abstract thinking required). It captures their interest and can be read relatively fast, though the algebra is not watered-down so the book naturally does require intelligence and careful attention. The story line presentation guarantees that the focus is on insight, a characteristic that sharply distinguishes this "Easy Way" series of books from typical high-school or college texts. I bought this book because the story format intrigued me. However, as I went along the narrative wore thin. The exercises are good and there are some very clever ways in which concepts are introduced. This book can be a great tool if only some of the narrative can be shortened. If you need a book that gets to the point quickly and succinctly go with "Practical Algebra: A self-teaching guide" by Selby et al. If you have (or are) that extra smart young kid, who always seems to be a grade (year) or two ahead of his/her class in maths, this book is certainly going to be perfect for him/her (as it was for me). This was the book that got me interested in Algebra. Downing takes the reader on an adventure, explaining the basics of algebra through a story, and progressing almost to the very apex of general algebra. (He doesn't cover every single aspect of general algebra - I recall one example: Synthetic Division, there are others.) But for a child, who's ahead of the rest, you don't need to have everything just yet. This book certainly won't appeal to adults or older teens (who will easily get bored and turned off by the underlying story), but it was a great introduction for me when I was just turning the decade mark. It really helps you to understand Algebra as more than a bunch of things to memorise; it makes you see applications in every aspect of life. Once you (or your child) have finished this book, you'll be thirsting for more, and that's when you move on to a more traditional textbook to fill in the "blanks". After that, algebra will be running through your veins. With this solid foundation, trigonometry and calculus will be much easier. (The author also wrote similar books on Trigonometry and Calculus. The Calculus book was quite poor because the story began to intrude on explaining the concepts properly. [By the time you are ready to take calculus on, you should use a traditional textbook - like Anton or Thomas.] The trigonometry book was quite good, but I feel none can match the brilliance of this book.) My oldest child has begun to study algebra in school. Algebra, the Easy Way is a wonderful addition to her classroom studies. This book's approach explains the whys of algebra. It takes students beyond the "just memorize" it way of learning alegebra. To use this book effectively, I strongly suggest readers do some of the problems at the end of each chapter. You'll find the answers in the back of the book. Students who complete this book will be well on their way to being able to use algebra. My younger children have taken an interest in the book, too. The book's story approach has sparked their interest. Because of their young ages, they are moving more slowly through the book than the older child. Nonetheless, the book's approach has made algebra seem like a very natural idea to them. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in beginning the study of algebra. I recieved a copy of this book in elementary school, one year before they were to put me into an algebra class. I first started reading it not because I was interested in mathematics, but because I liked fantasy novels. The way the characters get sucked into the explanation of the whys behind the relationships between numbers, etc... that was what made me become interested in mathematics too. Unfortunately when I started algebra I was way ahead of the other kids in the class and found myself bored and unimpressed by the way the teacher took something so interesting and made it simply dull busy work. But I learned something important from this book -- I didn't need teachers to learn mathematics. I soon found myself learning calculus during my freshmen year of high school and when it came time to apply for college, guess what my major was? You got it - Math... I attribute it all to this book -- this is where my love of math began. So on one hand, you'll learn algebra and possibly find yourself with a passion for math, but you may also find yourself bored and ahead of your classmates as well. I am also an adult wanting to refresh long unused skills. One good thing about this is that each chapter has a reasonable number of problems and answers, so it's not intimidating in that way. But I could also do without the fantasy story. This would probably appeal to a young person in JHS or HS who's taking algebra and needs to review, but I just want to cut to the chase and will be looking for another book. I have never been a math dummy and bought this book because my daughter is going into the subject area in school and I thought I'd retool my skills to be able to help her. While the book is written in storybook style and is, at first, amusing, the approach wears thin after a couple of chapters and you find yourself wishing the authors would just get to the point. Later you wish they would provide a little more explanation and a few more examples for the more complex topics in the book. Often, the chapters that are very short present a lengthy series of problems for you to solve, the complexity of which goes well beyond the thin explanations and examples the authors provide in the book. Sadly, the authors chose not to provide step-by-step solutions for the more complicated problems in the exercise sections. Overall, this book is greatly disappointing and I recommend you don't waste valuable money buying it. It won't lead you to any clear understanding of the subject matter at all. It will, however leave you wishing you'd spent your money on something more useful. A final note: I also purchased their book, Trigonometry The Easy Way before I worked with Algebra The Easy. The former is just as poorly composed as the one under discussion here.

Learn Calculus the Intuitive Way The purpose of this site is to help you learn calculus in an intuitive way. What does that mean? It means that you get the intuition behind every concept and formula. To learn this way sometimes takes more time, and can sometimes be harder. I believe, though, there are some really attractive advantages to this approach: It is more fun to learn this way. Rote memorizing and solving routine problems like a machine takes out the pleasure from learning. Understanding the intuitive idea that inspired Newton to invent the notion of derivative is rewarding at a different level. You will remember the material far better. You will develop intellectual skils that will serve you for life. Trying to understand the intuitive idea behind a concept or a formula sometimes requires more effort than simply memorizing it, but the effort is intellectual training. In this site you will find explanations and examples that I consider more intuitive that the standard way of presenting the concepts. Sometimes I give algebraic deductions when they are necessary, but I focus mostly on the intuition, and then on solving standard problems that you find on textbooks and calculus exams. Whether you are at high-school or college taking a calculus course, preparing for a standarized test, or self-studying calculus just for fun, you can tremendously benefit from this website. You can use it to complement your textbook or course material, or use it as your main learning resource. Learning calculus takes some time and dedication. I hope, though, that this site helps in making sure that work isn't tedious or boring. Where to Begin? This site covers all the topics in a first calculus course, and it is expanding to cover topics beyond that. If you are already taking a course in school, you can immediatelly visit the topics you didn't really understand, or the ones you need a little help with. There is a lot of material, and you can use the search function that is in the left column to find what you need. Even if you think you understood a topic well, I recommend you to visit the pages about them. The intuitive approach that I use may help you gain another perspective. Be sure to bookmark this site, or even better, subscribe to my free e-zine to receive weekly study tips and other bonuses. If you have no clue about where to start, follow the sequece: Functions: This topic is not usually covered in a calculus course. Understanding functions and knowing how to deal with them is essential for a real understanding of calculus, though. Limits: This is the topic most calculus courses start with. The idea of limits is the basic underlying theme in calculus. Spend some time on these pages if you want to deeply understand this idea. Derivatives: The derivative, together with the integral, form the inseparable duo in calculus. The derivative can be seen as a generalized slope, or rate of change. It is essential in all sciences. Integrals: The integral generalizes the idea of area. As the derivative, it is essential for all sciences. Immerse yourself in these pages to understand this concept and get some practice solving problems. In all these pages you will learn about these concepts by first forming an intuition, then solving common problems that apply these concepts. Who am I? My name is Pablo Antuna and I'm just a guy passionate about math and teaching. I decided to create this site so I can teach calculus the way I wish I had been taught it, and to share my passion for it. You can learn more about me in the about page.

In September 2010, funding was received from the National Science Foundation to develop, field test, refine, and bring to publication a new course, Transition to College Mathematics and Statistics (TCMS). This problem-based, inquiry-oriented, fourth-year high school mathematics course is intended for students who do not plan to major in the mathematical, physical, or biological sciences or engineering. The TCMS course is designed for the large number of students planning to major in college programs that do not require calculus. For these students, many school districts have little to offer as a transition to college mathematics and statistics, other than a precalculus course. Many of these students opt out of mathematics their senior year. But data show that students who are not enrolled in a mathematics course their senior year are much more likely to be placed in a remedial (non-credit bearing) course upon admission to college. In some schools, students may elect to take a statistics or discrete mathematics course—courses that frequently do not provide the mathematical content to be successful on current college placement tests. The Transition to College Mathematics and Statistics course provides an effective way of addressing the needs of schools in increasing numbers of states requiring four years of high school mathematics, including a course beyond algebra II or its equivalent. It will also provide an effective way of helping schools meet the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), particularly the Mathematical Practices standards. For states or school districts that do not have a four-year mathematics requirement, it is anticipated that the TCMS course content, with its realistic problems and projects and relevant applications and appropriate use of technology tools, will stimulate more college-intending students to elect a fourth year of mathematics. The TMCS course is designed as a capstone course for both conventional and integrated high school mathematics programs. Students who complete three high school mathematics courses designed to meet the CCSS together with the proposed TCMS course will be well-prepared for two-year or four-year college programs that do not require calculus and also for training programs leading to career-level jobs. TCMS-Tools A companion suite of mathematical and statistical software tools, called TCMS-Tools, is freely available for Transition to College Mathematics and Statistics. Availability Transition to College Mathematics and Statistics is being published by McGraw-Hill Education in both print and digital formats.

Main Navigation: THE COMPETITION The contest consists of two parts: a two-stage individual competition called FERMAT (Fundamental Exams of Remarkable Mathematical Ability and Talent), and a Math Bowl team competition. All questions and problems assume preparation in Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry. Calculators are not permitted. The day will also include recreational mathematical activities, campus tours, and opportunities to gather information about majors, departments, the university, and careers in mathematics and the mathematical sciences. All contest participants begin the day by completing a one-hour multiple-choice exam called FERMAT I, which is then machine graded. During FERMAT I, the Department of Mathematics will offer a presentation of interest to high school teachers and chaperones. The participants who score in the top 50 on FERMAT I advance to the second stage of the competition, FERMAT II, after lunch. FERMAT II consists of essay-type mathematical problems which demand uncommon creativity and originality in their solutions. These exams are hand-graded by members of the Mathematics Department faculty. The Math Bowl team competition is an exciting double elimination tournament in the style of the Scholars Bowl. In each match of the competition, two three-member teams compete against one another by using a buzzer system to answer 10 questions. A point is awarded to a team each time it answers a question correctly in the time allotted after its buzzer sounds. Each team must lose 2 matches before it is eliminated from the tournament. Teams will be classified according to the size of their high school (large or small). Awards will be given to two divisions of teams, based on school size, but schools will compete against one another regardless of division. Here are some Math Bowl example problems. Calculators may not be used during the Math Bowl. This competition will take place between the FERMAT I and FERMAT II competitions and after FERMAT II, while the grading of each exam takes place. The Awards Immediately following the championship round of the Math Bowl (about 4:00 p.m.), awards are presented as follows: Engraved Plaques to students who score in the top 5 on FERMAT I, Engraved Plaques and four-year, in-state scholarships at $6,000 per year to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, to students who score in the top 10 on FERMAT II, Trophies and Individual Medals to the top two teams in each of two divisions (based on school size) of the Math Bowl. Previous winners of scholarships may compete again, but they will not deprive another participant of a scholarship. Certificates of Participation for each student, an award for the top FERMAT I scorer from each high school, and Certificates of Merit for the top 50 finalists of FERMAT I are mailed to each school along with statistical results of the exams. Enrollment The size of the contest will be limited to 1,000 students and 64 math bowl teams. Each high school may register up to 30 students, and three of its participants may form a math bowl team. If 64 math bowl teams have not registered and paid their fees by October 30th 2014, each high school will be permitted to enter a second team in the tournament. At the time of registration, each high school should indicate the number of teams it would like to enter. The tournament bracket is filled based on the date each team was registered. You will be notified by mail of the number of teams which were entered for you into the tournament.
