Full of mistakes
I can't understand why this book is getting good reviews! Are you guys even reading it? It's loaded with mistakes.
I can't mention all here but I'll point out one that should stop you from buying books by this author (Manohar Pandey) in future.
Check page 116.

Small, complete but with some stupid flaws
Comprehensive for price tag of INR 25, includes just about everything in 64 pages, however I would like to bring to light some mistakes
Page 116
-Longest Railway tunnel in Seikam is in Japan (mentioned Jaipur) also its SEIKAN according to wikipedia
-First Muslim Prime minister of the world is NOT Mrs Sirimavo Bandaranaike, she is the fist woman head of a government.
-Tallest statue of Lord buddha is in Tokya(Jaipur mentioned here again)
-The first city in which the atom bomb was dropped is mentioned as NEIL ARMSTRONG FOLLOWED BY EDWIN ALDRIN
LOT of spelling mistakes in General Knowledge can make a difference between winning and losing in quiz competitions.
example- Assom, Anokor Vat, Bassilica of St.Potor could be many more.
I am not a GK expert but I expect many more flaws in it.
Guys at flipkart please check it before its sold again.
Certainly not the book to be given to kids. Others kindly go through book very well to see why.

Excellent book
Flip kart review :
Order placed on : 13 August 2012, 4:35 AM
Received on : 14 August 2012, between 1 - 4 PM
Packing : There was a card board of + design in which book was folded into and secure, and then inside book was placed in a polythene cover sealed completely making it water proof and dust proof. So this packing deliver you the exact copy of the book provided by maker.
Also i would like to thank flip kart if they have putted effort in checking book for misprints and bad-binding before supplying to customers, because the book i received was simply a fine piece free from misprints and bad-binding. Or it was just my luck!
This experience was different from buying a book from a book store where you have to waste time, put effort, face crowd on bookshop, (if people still stupid to buy from bookshops and hassling there) they sell it on mrp and what you get? a dusty damaged book full of misprints and bad binding, because they don't care to check for customers, But flipkart do :).
Book review :
mrp : 25, price i got on flipkart : 25 :( (price should be 22), last page count : 128, price per page : 5 around, but that is because size is small : 21mm * 13.5mm * 0.6 mm
content : a quick reference to gk most things you need to know and should be known. if you know this book every word, you can score 30% + marks for sure in every gk exam.

Abstrakt der Vorlesung
Optimization is a vibrant growing area of Applied Mathematics. Its many successful applications depend on efficient algorithms and this has pushed the development of theory and software. In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest to use 'non-standard' techniques to estimate the complexity of computation and to guide algorithm design. New interactions with fields like algebraic geometry, representation theory, number theory, combinatorial topology, algebraic combinatorics, and convex analysis have contributed non-trivially to the foundations of computational optimization. This course will be an introduction to the new techniques used in Optimization that have foundation in algebra (number theory, commutative algebra, real algebraic geometry, representation theory) and geometry (convex and differential geometry, combinatorial topology, algebraic topology, etc).

Math Essentials: No-Nonsense Algebra and Geometry
We're back again to share about another resource for teaching your child math. For many, this particular subject is scary for them to teach, yet parents know just how important it is to learn for pretty much any career option out there. High school level math is where it typically gets scarier for the homeschool parent.
Math Essentials, the brain child of Rick Fisher, has a product to take the sting out of math at the high school level, No-Nonsense Algebra.
Each lesson in this book is presented in a straight forward manner. Users of the book also have access to online video lessons, which is a boon for many students who need to see someone work through problems. The lessons also include exercises for the student to practice similar problems as well as review problems. The chapters are wrapped up with a review to assess mastery of the material.
Unlike some books out there, No-Nonsense Algebra does not add fluff to distract or pile on busy work for the student. They even offer a money back guarantee that states using this product 20 minutes per day will give you improvements in test scores.
I have to admit that I had a hard time having my high school student spend much time on this over the past few weeks. He was more focused upon finishing his main algebra program for this recent school year. So, rather than relying mostly upon his feedback of the material, I spent a bit of time refreshing my own algebra skills. The video lessons have audio explanation with a handwritten white board look to them. I appreciate how straight forward his approach to presenting the material is in the book as well as being able to cover all essential topics for an algebra I level course.
The other product we were sent to review is Mastering Essential Math Skills: Geometry. This series of smaller booklets focus upon specific skill sets and offer further practice with the concepts previously introduced. These books are aimed at upper elementary/ middle school levels to lay a firm foundation for high school math.
Geometry is one area that the boys seem to be weak with regard to the annual state tests. Each page in this book is designed to be used within 20 minutes and should help shore up any deficiencies in the individual topics presented. Rather than instruction, there are 'helpful hints' meant to refresh their memory on what is required to work the problems.
You can pick and choose just the areas that need refreshing for your student or work through the entire book. I suspect spending a bit more time with this title will better acquaint them with the vocabulary and skills they need to boost that area of their scores come next spring.
No Nonsense Algebra sells for $27.95 for the print book plus online video lesson access. The Mastering Essential Math Skills book series titles retail for $11.95. You can find these and other products at the Math Essentials website which includes sample pages for perusal

In my seven years as math tutor, I've probably worked with twenty algebra books. Hands down, no contest, this is the absolute best I have used: Algebra: Structure and Method, Book 1. (Brown, Richard G. et al. McDougal Littell, Evanston, Illinois: 2000.)
This book doesn't have a ton of frills—there are barely any pictures or "extras." But
what makes this book exceptional is its GREAT sequencing. It does an excellent job of breaking the math down without dumbing it down. The problems get harder very incrementally. There are so many practice problems to choose from that you can really practice until each procedure becomes second nature. And the book only introduces new concepts once you've already mastered the prerequisite skills.
For example, when this book introduces factoring trinomials, it introduces each pattern that you might encounter one at a time. You practice that pattern extensively before facing a new pattern. Once you've practiced all the different patterns separately, THEN it mixes all the different patterns together in one problem set. But by now you know how to recognize the different patterns and what to do differently for each pattern. So when faced with a page full of different types of factoring patterns, you can just think, "OH—difference of squares!" or "OH—perfect squares!" instead of having to do trial and error until you erase a hole in your paper!!
The students I've used this book with acquire very, very strong algebra skills without getting bored or frustrated. And I think it's because the sequencing forces students to learn how to "chunk," a concept I learned from Daniel T. Willingham's book, Why Don't Students Like School?
For example, take two algebra students. One is still a little shaky on the distributive property, the other knows it cold. When the first student is trying to solve a problem and sees a(b + c), he's unsure whether that's the same as ab + c, or b + ac, or ab + ac. So he stops working on the problem and substitutes small numbers into a(b + c) to be sure he's got it right. The second student recognizes a(b + c) as a chunk and doesn't need to stop and occupy working memory with this subcomponent of the problem. Clearly the second student is more likely to complete the problem successfully. (p 31)

Hi Rebecca,
I saw your post on "The Best Algebra book in the World." I am looking for a book that will simply explain each step in an algebra function. I am in an algebra class for the first time in 15 years and I am scared speechless. I hate this stuff. The instructor said as long as I know how to do what is on the reviews for the test than I should be okay. Learning what is on the reviews is where I have problems. Thanks!
Rebecca Zook on January 13th 2:41 pm
Julie, thanks for stopping by! I am glad to help. I also highly, highly recommend Danica McKellar's math books. You can get them on amazon or any library. A lot of adults find them really helpful, and she's great at breaking things down and working things through step by step. Plus they are fun to read! Lots of people are scared speechless about math–you are not alone! I believe in you!!
Edgar on June 21st 5:11 am
I have heard this is a good book, but I doubt that it tops Paul Foerster's Algebra 1 book. Are you familiar with it?
Rebecca Zook on June 21st 8:02 pm
Edgar, it's nice to see you here! I haven't worked with that book yet. Thanks for the suggestion!
Edgar on June 21st 8:33 pm
Mathematically Correct has ranked a series of Algebra 1 books, and Brown's book scores very high. In fact, Brown's book scores in 2nd place, with only one book topping it. Can you guess which book? Yes, you guessed it – Foerster's! Haha, I hated math until I discovered Foerster! I like to say that I preach the good news of Paul Foerster.
Rebecca Zook on June 22nd 1:41 pm
I will have to check that out! I haven't heard of Mathematically Correct. I'm really glad you found a book that you like so much!!
[...] be able to check his answers without having to wait to see me. So, as a supplemental text, we added another algebra textbook that had better sequencing and more practice problems. In the end, we relied on it more than the [...]
Cricket on August 28th 12:53 pm
Thank you for this review. I have used Foerster's algebra, and he does skip a couple of steps. I do not know if it is corrected in later editions, but he does make an assumption that the student knows to divide the fraction in a chapter 2 problem.
I think an algebra text should be so thorough in the explanations that no answer key or solutions manual is necessary.
Rebecca Zook on August 29th 7:45 pm
Hey Cricket, it's great to meet you here! Thanks for your comment! I think every book has its strengths and weaknesses, but I have used this with many students. Some students need more preparation for it in terms of being really comfortable with the prerequisites like fractions and decimals. I'd love to hear more about resources you recommend!
Ashlee on January 30th 8:46 am
I need help. My son is in 9th grde, is very intelligent, but struggles a lot with math. He is in Algebra and is frustrated and barely getting by. Is your book a good book to help him? He needs something that explains each step,& would be helpful if there are tests or actually problems to solve at the end of each part. He especially struggles with word problems. I have purchased Danica McKeller's books as well as a "Dr Math" book. I dont know what to do to help him.
Rebecca Zook on January 30th 3:10 pm
Ashlee, Thanks so much for your comment, it's great to "meet" you here! Based on what you described, I would highly recommend Danica McKellar's books for your situation. This particular textbook might not do the trick for what it sounds like your son is going through. Your question is actually making me think it's time for an updated post about more algebra resources!
Also, while I haven't used the Algebra book yet myself, some of my students really like Teaching Textbooks. Here's the link to their algebra textbook: They are really excellent with the step-by-step teaching and having solutions to all the problems so you can check your work.
If you're feeling like your son really just needs personal attention and feedback and you're interested in him being tutored, I would be happy to set up a time for us to talk and explore whether or not it would make sense for us to work together. All you would need to do is give me a call at 617-888-0160 or email me at rebeccazook@gmail.com and we would set up a time for us to have a complimentary conversation, just so I could learn more about your situation.
Tammy on February 6th 11:50 pm
Rebecca,
I am hoping you can make some suggestions. I have a 7th grader who is in pre-algebra. In looking at some of your previous recommendations, it appears that his pre-algebra book actually combines some topics covered in pre-algebra with some that are in algebra 1. Specifically, the name of his book is Big Ideas Math (blue book) by Ron Larson. I find it very difficult to understand, and it is not easy to learn the concepts from the book alone. My son has always been a strong math student; however, he is having some difficulty this 2nd semester. For example, he is having trouble grasping some of the concepts surrounding linear and nonlinear functions and how to determine which type of function it is by an equation or table. Another example of a type of problem he is struggling with: Y+ 1/3x + 1 (With the instructions: a line with slope of 1/3 contains the point (6,1). What is the equation of the line?) What textbook, on-line videos, etc would you recommend for thoroughly EXPLAINING every concept in a simple, easy to understand manner (whereby a student could learn everything they need to be extremely successful without needing classroom instruction)? We're not looking for a workbook of extra problems; we're looking for a resource that would TEACH him in very basic (easy to understand), yet thorough method on how to understand the concepts and figure out the problems. So, something that goes into very clear detail on how to solve each of the problems a student would need to know in each section of content. Ideally, we would love to have a video series as well that would demonstrate the concepts and serve as a virtual classroom. Please respond at your very earliest convenience. We need some help right away; he has a test mid-week, next week.
Thanks so much.

PCI Education Breaks New Ground in Algebra Intervention
Date: Monday, January 30, 2012
Algebra City Focuses on the 28 Most Common Misconceptions about Algebra as Part of Assessment-Driven Intervention
SAN ANTONIO (Jan. 30, 2012) – With many states requiring Algebra I to graduate from high school, algebra has become one of the gateway courses to school and career success. Yet upwards of 60 to 70 percent of students struggle with algebra or fail to pass state-mandated proficiency exams.PCI Education, the premier provider of resources for students with specialized instructional needs, introduces Algebra City™, a blended intervention program focusing on the 28 most common algebraic misconceptions.
Research shows that many students misunderstand the concepts, procedures and representations needed to master and pass Algebra I. Algebra City aims to keep students on track by using pinpoint assessment to identify where a student is struggling conceptually, and providing thorough and multiple approaches to correcting the misconception. Algebra City may be used for intervention with any core Algebra I curriculum.
According to Algebra City author Dr. Donna Craighead, the program's four Student Editions differ from traditional algebra textbooks. Whereas textbooks use a linear model, as an intervention program Algebra City uses assessment data to target instruction only where needed. The graphic novel-style Student Editions use avatar-like characters to encourage students to re-engage with algebra in new and exciting ways, including an online adventure island where students can solve practice problems.
Aligned to the Common Core State Standards, Algebra City is a four-part series, with each book covering seven misconceptions. The series is divided into Algebra Essentials, Equations & Inequalities, Graphing, and Polynomials & Factoring. The ExamView Assessment Suite for Algebra City includes readymade pre- and post-tests at the program, book and unit levels, an item bank and test generator, and robust reporting.
"Too often, students struggle to learn critical algebra skills they need both inside and outside the classroom," said Lee Wilson, president and CEO of PCI Education. "Algebra City is targeted intervention that encourages students to reconnect to algebra in one or more areas of misunderstanding, while allowing teachers to leverage the investment in their core algebra curriculum."
Algebra Cityis one of five new offerings from PCI Education that provide intensive intervention and remediation in reading, writing, and math for students in grades 6-12.

Calculus With Applications for the Life SciencesCustomer Reviews:
interesting applications
By W Boudville - February 16, 2005
If you are majoring in the life sciences, then the authors have striven to teach calculus in a manner that will interest and motivate you. Here, life sciences encompasses both the biological sciences and various social sciences like finance and economics.
The authors customise the course via numerous examples and problems in each chapter. To be sure, in the text, outside the examples, it is a straightforward explanation of the important ideas in caculus, like finding derivates and solving differential equations. Which is as it should be. The maths is independent of the applications, after all. But much of the value of the book to you is in those examples and problems.
There is a fascinating plethora of problems. I will only cite a few: Modelling a foot and mouth disease epidemic. Alcohol concentration in a person's blood as a function of time. Rate of pollution entering a lake. The Gini coefficient of income inequality in a country.
Not the best
By LittleTwoLegs - March 6, 2013
I'm majoring in Biology trying to obtain a wildlife biologist certification and then go to vet school. This book gives a quick overview of what you need to know but it doesn't give you an adequate example and doesn't explain very thoroughly what you need to know. It is unfortunate because my teacher doesn't really explain anything either. It is heavy and I don't think it has enough information to really qualify for that much paper to be used.
This is more of an aid for math people. I'm more of an English person, however, so it is not very helpful.
Not The Greatest Calculus Book Out There
By jason - November 10, 2012
Pros: - great word problems
Cons:
- see below
I'm a microbiology major, which requires Calc I and II taught primarily from this book. I have to say, this book is awful. There are some chapters that are explain fairly well, but it often skips critical explanations that connect concepts and relies too heavily on elegant typefaces rather than bottom-line-up-front explanations of concepts.
There are NUMEROUS errors in the solutions manual, which can drive a calculus student crazy. The description of Leslie Matrices in Chapter 10 is absolutely terrible.
The differential equations section is equally terrible. It doesn't actually explain what a differential equation is, and that's one of the downsides of this course. You will not be doing anything above a first-order differential equation; you will not do any advanced linear algebra; but this book does not explain the related concepts well enough to build confidence in a... read more

Vedic Mathematics for Schools (Book I)
Vedic Mathematics for School offers a fresh and easy approach to learning mathematics. The system was reconstructed from ancient Vedic sources by the late Bharati Krsna Tirthaji earlier this century and is based on a small collection of sutras. Each sutra briefly encapsulates a rule of mental working, a principle or guiding maxim. Through simple practice of these methods all may become adept and efficient at mathematics. Book I of the series is intended for primary schools in which many of the fundamental concepts of mathematics are introduced. It has been written from the classroom experience of teaching Vedic mathematics to eight and nine years-old. At this age a few of the Vedic methods are used, the rest being introduced at a later stage.

Vedic Mathematics for Schools (Book III)
In this book the Vedic techniques are applied to ordinary school mathematics for eleven and twelve years-old. the arithmetic introduced in books I and II is extended. The book also deals with the initial stages of solving equations, coordinate geometry, approximations, indices, parallels, triangles, ratio and proportion as well as other topics. Once a basic grounding has been established with the Vedic methods the next stage is the beginning of discrimination. A problem is set and, armed with several techniques, the student must choose the easiest or most relevant for achieving the solution. This book deals with some of the steps required for this training.
DISCOVER VEDIC MATHEMATICS
This has sixteen chapters each of which focuses on one of the Vedic Sutras or sub-Sutras, showing many applications of each.
This book shows how the Vedic system applies in a large number of areas of elementary mathematics, covering arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus etc. Each chapter concentrates on one Vedic Sutra or Sub-sutra and shows many applications. This gives a real feel for the Vedic Sutras each of which has its own unique character. It covers much of the content of Bharati Krsna's book above but in more detail and with more applications and explanations. It also contains Vedic solutions to GCSE and 'A' level examination questions. 216 pages

Algebra Proficiency and Mathematics Placement
A general discussion of placement at the College can be found
at the placement page.
Algebra Proficiency
All students must establish algebra proficiency before enrolling
in any other mathematics course (and hence satisfying any mathematics
Foundations requirements). Algebra proficiency may be established
by: passing MA 115 Fundamentals of Algebra, presenting sufficient
ACT or SAT scores, or passing the algebra proficiency exam given
during orientation week. All new students should complete this
requirement during the first year at the College, and preferably
during the first term.
Course Placement
The mathematics faculty reviews each student's application
materials and determines the appropriate level of mathematics courses
for that student. This information is provided to the student's
advisor prior to orientation. While students may place out of certain
mathematics courses, credit for those courses can only be earned
through AP or IB credit.
As part of the Skills Foundations requirement, each student must
take one mathematics course in statistics, modeling, or calculus.
Students interested in mathematics or a mathematics-related field
should begin in calculus or statistics. Students not interested
in more advanced study in mathematics should enroll in statistics
or a modeling course.
Please note that MA 124 Precalculus Mathematics does not satisfy
the Skills Foundations mathematics requirement, but is a preparation
for calculus. Depending on their prior experience, students may
place out of MA 124.

Support Material
With new
CD
The CD has our new 'self-tutoring' software. For every worked
example in this book, a student can listen to a teacher's voice explain
each step in the worked example – 'click' anywhere in the
worked example where you see the
icon.
About the book
Mathematics for the International Student: Mathematical Studies SL has been written
for use with the two-year Mathematical Studies SL course, which is one of the courses of
study in the IB Diploma Programme. It is not our intention to define the course. Teachers are
encouraged to use other resources. We have developed this book independently of the
International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) in consultation with many experienced
teachers of IB Mathematics. The text is not endorsed by the IBO.
The second edition builds on the strength of the first edition. The main difference in this
second edition is the inclusion of more questions in the book and the addition of on the CD. Extra questions have been included throughout, and a new final
chapter with 200 exam-style questions has been added. A clear distinction is made between
core (examinable) and extension material and syllabus references are given for each chapter.
Comprehensive graphics calculator instructions are given for Casio fx-9860G, TI-84 Plus and
TI-nspire in an introductory chapter and, occasionally, where additional help may
be needed, more detailed instructions are available as printable pages on the CD. The
extensive use of graphics calculators and computer packages throughout the book enables
students to realise the importance, application and appropriate use of technology. No single
aspect of technology has been favoured. It is as important that students work with a pen and
paper as it is that they use their calculator or graphics calculator, or use a spreadsheet or
graphing package on computer.
Note that in the graphics calculator instructions chapter, the programs written to solve quadratic equations for the TI-84 Plus and the TI-nspire can not be taken into examinations.
This package is language rich and technology rich. The combination of textbook and
interactive Student CD will foster the mathematical development of students in a stimulating
way. Frequent use of the interactive features on the CD is certain to nurture a much deeper
understanding and appreciation of mathematical concepts. The CD also offers for every worked example. is accessed via the CD – click anywhere on any worked
example to hear a teacher's voice explain each step in that worked example. This is ideal for
catch-up and revision, or for motivated students who want to do some independent study
outside school hours.
The interactive features of the CD allow immediate access to our own specially designed
geometry software, graphing software and more. Teachers are provided with a quick and easy
way to demonstrate concepts, and students can discover for themselves and revisit when
necessary.
It is not our intention that each chapter be worked through in full. Time constraints will not
allow for this. Teachers must select exercises carefully, according to the abilities and prior
knowledge of their students, to make the most efficient use of time and give as thorough
coverage of work as possible. Investigations throughout the book will add to the discovery
aspect of the course and enhance student understanding and learning.
In this changing world of mathematics education, we believe that the contextual approach
shown in this book, with the associated use of technology, will enhance the students'
understanding, knowledge and appreciation of mathematics, and its universal application.
Using the interactive student CD
The interactive CD is ideal for independent study.
Students can revisit concepts taught in class and undertake their own revision
and practice. The CD also has the text of the book, allowing students to leave the
textbook at school and keep the CD at home.

Teaching Differential Equations with Modeling and Visualization
Abstract: In this article, I explain the history of using Interdisciplinary Lively Applications Projects (ILAPs) in an ordinary differential equations course. Students want to learn methods to "solve real world problems," and incorporating ILAPs into the syllabus has been an effective way to apply solution methods to situations that students may encounter in other disciplines. Feedback has been positive and will be shared. Examples of ILAPs currently used will be referenced. For more information about how to develop ILAPs, see Huber and Myers (in "Innovative Approaches to Undergraduate Mathematics Courses Beyond Calculus," 2005).
Included with this document are three Interdisciplinary Lively Applications Projects (ILAPs).
Antaeus.pdf This ILAP uses the Laplace
transform to model the struggle between Hercules and Antaeus, a tale
from Greek mythology.
It is appropriate for use in an introductory course on differential
equations.
MechanicalResonance.pdf This ILAP discusses mechanical
resonance in the context of a vibrating propeller on an airplane wing.
It is suitable for use in an introductory course in differential equations.
Fever.pdf This ILAP uses Newton's Law of Cooling
to explore the question: How long should a thermometer be held in the
mouth in order to get an accurate reading? The project is based on an
article by Elmo Moore and Charles Biles in the UMAP journal, and is
suitable for use in an introductory course in differential equations.
In the project, students relate actual temperature measurements to
derive the differential equations model, then use the model to answer
the question.

I've never seen a math program quite like this one. In addition to the textbook, you get a step-by-step multimedia solutions manual. You may purchase another set of CDs that contains both lectures-one for each of the 130 lessons in the textbook and includes explanations to the practice problems that begin each problem set.
All you do is have your student read the lesson, watch the lecture on CD, work the five practice problems, and watch the next part of the CD that explains those problems. Next your student will work all of the problem sets and you'll grade the assignment. THEN, the part I love---watch the step by step solutions CD for any problems that were missed!
Teaching Textbooks Algebra 2 is appropriate for high school students who need full credit of Algebra 2. This program is full of fascinating and entertaining real-world examples that make the math concepts easy to understand and keep your student engaged. Definitely created for homeschooling PARENTS, I loved the freedom of checking my son's work without having to know how to work, remember how work, re-teach myself how to work any answer he got wrong. I also loved the cost, much cheaper than the other video or CD based programs that really don't do near as much. The only down side I found is the textbook itself. It is IMMENSE! It is a 753 page spiraled paperback that is not easy to tote around without getting it damaged. Aside from that little gem, I would recommend this program to anyone!

Math Lab
What is the Math Lab?
The purpose of the Math lab is to aid students in developing their mathematical abilities. The lab is staffed by a director and several student tutors who are available to help students in their calculus and statistic courses. Instruction in the Math Lab is very informal. Students are welcome to come to the lab with questions whenever they need help in understanding math course work. The lab has a Hewlett Packard workstation which students may use. Our goal in the lab is to increase each student's understanding of her or his course material. This takes time and active participation on the student's part. Please do not expect the lab to provide quick answers for the purpose of completing homework assignments. This does you a disservice. If we can help you understand the material so you can complete your assignment, we will be glad to do so. Many of the math professors are now assigning special problem sets from The Real Calculus Problems. Since these problems are graded by the professors and count substantially in a student's final grade, the lab does not routinely give assistance on these problems. Instead we have set up special problem-solving sessions with tutors who have been trained by the professors to give appropriate help on these special problem sets.
Director
Jim Lawrence is Director of the Math Lab. He sees students by appointment. If you would like an appointment or if you have other questions, stop in the lab or call x3060.

Hi, This morning I started working on my math assignment on the topic Intermediate algebra. I am currently not able to finish the same because I am not familiar with the basics of factoring polynomials, trigonometric functions and long division. Would it be possible for anyone to aid me with this?
How about some more details about your trouble with tips on college algebra? I might be able to give some leads. If you are not able to get a good help or some one to sit and sort out your problem or if it is not affordable, then there might be another solution to your problem. There are some good math software that you can check out. I tried them out myself. It came across to me as good as any tutor can be. I would select Algebra Buster for the kind of solutions that you are in the hunt for. What is smart about it is that it takes you step by step to the solutions rather than simply providing the answer. Why not try it out?
It would really be nice if you could let us know about a tool that can provide both. If you could get us a home tutoring software that would offer a step-by-step solution to our assignment, it would really be great. Please let us know the authentic websites from where we can get the tool.
I remember having often faced difficulties with parallel lines, difference of squares and algebraic signs. A truly great piece of math program is Algebra Buster software. By simply typing in a problem homework a step by step solution would appear by a click on Solve. I have used it through many algebra classes – Pre Algebra, College Algebra and Algebra 1. I greatly recommend the program.

My Advice to a New Math 175 Student:
The first day of class you should review all of your algebra skills and
really focus on functions. If you had a hard time understanding
functions
during algebra, you're going to have a really hard time in this course.
Functions are extremely important in Math 175. Although homework is
not
collected, you must attempt to do it every night. There are quizzes
each
week, so if you get behind on homework you're going to lose easy quiz
points. Quiz points add up and can really hurt your grade. If you
don't
try to do your homework every night it's easy to get lost fast. If you
absolutely cannot attempt your homework one night, make sure you make
the
time to catch up the next night. Time goes by really fast and before
you
know it it'll be time for an exam. If you don't understand something,
you
have to get help. It doesn't get easier and the more time that passes,
the
farther behind you get. Read the book before the subject is discussed
in
class. Then re-read it after it's discussed in class, especially if
you
feel like you don't understand it. Ask questions if you don't
understand.
Don't wait and expect someone else to answer the questions you need
answered. Even after you get an exam back, review the problems and try
to
work them out so you get the correct answer. Everything is cumulative
so
it's important to learn the stuff that you didn't understand, even
after
an
exam. The most important advice I can give is to remember that the
final
exam is cumulative. Try to get everything into your long term memory.
You
can't learn a semester full of calculus in one week.

General Mathematics Z is done
by some students in Year 10 instead of the normal Year 10 course, or if done
in Year 11 it is also with Mathematical Methods. It provides extra
mathematical background for students wishing to do just Mathematical Methods
in Year 12 or both Mathematical Methods and Specialist Mathematics. Both
General Mathematics Z and Specialist Mathematics cover additional
mathematical topics and give depth to a student's mathematical background.
You will
complete many exercises relating to the topic being studied. You will be
expected to do many questions for homework to consolidate the class work.
Analysis or Application tasks are set each term to extend your thinking
beyond the standard exercises. You will use your CAS calculator
extensively. Your work will complement and enhance the topics that you study
in Mathematical Methods.
"General
Mathematics Z is stressful done in Year 10, but it is worth it when you get
to Year 11"
"Specialist Maths is harder than Maths Methods but it makes Maths Methods so
easy by comparison, and really helps your Maths Methods work"
"It is worth doing GMZ in
Year 10 as it means you can do just Maths Methods in Year 11 and have space
in your timetable to do a Year 12 subject"

▼ The standards-based reform has changed the way mathematics is taught in the United States. The emerging research shows that the reform movement has brought about greater student achievement in mathematics. This paper looks at specific examples of student performance as a result of using reform-based curricula while concentrating on a group that has largely been ignored in mathematics—students from a lower socioeconomic background. There is evidence that suggests that the reforms are helping these students achieve in mathematics, but others have found that not all aspects of the reform are beneficial to them. The paper then emphasizes the important role that teachers play in making mathematics accessible to all students, no matter their background.

▼ Somewhere along their educational journey, many students develop a fear of mathematics. They begin to view their math courses as the study of tricks and often seemingly unsolvable puzzles. There is a demand for teachers to provide students with real life applicable problems with the intention of building upon the mathematics content taught in the classroom. This paper discusses how to integrate one specific problem, involving the Fermat Point, into a high school geometry curriculum. It also calls educators to integrate challenging problems into the classes they teach to encourage students to use their mathematical problem solving skills. The purpose of this paper is to inspire other educators to pursue similar investigations in the classroom in order to help students view mathematics as more useful. After a discussion of the Fermat Point, this paper invites the reader to research other useful centers of a triangle in a similar manner.

Tutoring Resources
Math Resources
Across campus and across disciplines, there is a growing awareness of the vital role quantitative literacy plays in student success. The ability to reason with quantitative information is viewed as crucial to becoming a successful student and citizen. At the The University of Montana, we are committed to helping students succeed in math at every level. We offer free, drop-in math tutoring for any student taking developmental and 100-level math courses.
Students in developmental and non-calculus track mathematics courses (M065, M090, M095, M105, M115, M135 and M136) receive assistance at the math@mansfield Tutoring Center site from tutors specifically trained in probability, statistics, introductory algebra and elementary education mathematics. The math@mansfield Tutoring Center is located on the third (main) level of the Mansfield Library.
Hours:
Monday - Thursday 11am-3pm, 6:30pm-9pm
Sunday, 6:30pm-9pm
The Math Learning Center
Students taking courses on the calculus track – M121, M122, M1521, M162, M171, and M172 - can find help at The Math Learning Center, located in the basement of the Math Building.
Hours:
Monday – Thursday 10am – 4pm
Both centers are equipped with a plentiful supply of what some tutors call "non-digital laptop communication devices" – which is high-tech language for a lap-size whiteboard with a marker attached. In the past, even with encouragement from the tutors, most students were reluctant to get out of their chair to work at the big whiteboards on the walls. Now, with a scattering of personal whiteboards lying about, students can work out a problem where they are, and it's easier for the tutor to add a bit of help or point out a misstep when needed.
STUDY JAM
STUDY JAM focuses on providing group study opportunities and tutoring for students in high enrollment courses, many of which require quantitative skills. The study tables operate two nights a week, Monday and Wednesdays from 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm beginning Wednesday, September 5th in the UC Commons, offering support for students in the following courses:

The Urban School of San Francisco 1563 Page Street San Francisco, CA 94117 415 626 2919
2013-14 Math Course Descriptions
The math program at Urban is balanced and eclectic, drawing from both traditional and contemporary approaches and content. The school requires three years of math, taken in high school, for graduation. Students planning to apply to competitive colleges should take four years of math. Students considering a career in math, science, computers or engineering should take four or more years of math, including Functions and challenging electives (Analytic Geometry, Calculus, Infinity or Space).
Urban Advanced Studies (UAS) math classes offer coursework appropriate for students preparing for advanced and college level work in mathematics or the mathematically based sciences. These UAS electives include many college level topics taught in a pace and style accessible to high school students. In these advanced electives students are expected to have mastered the content, skills and habits from the core course sequence of Math 1, 2 and 3, and to be able to apply these with confidence to more complex conceptual domains. UAS math courses move at a faster pace and involve more challenging, rigorous problems than our core sequence or regular elective courses. Students are expected to be able to sustain focus on concepts and problems over significant periods of time, working productively and creatively both independently and in small goups. Students are also expected to take responsibility for mastering any prerequisite skills and concepts via self-study, as class time will be reserved for exploration of new material and deeper investigation of key topics. Required Courses
Math 1A and 1B helps students develop the concepts, skills and habits that form the foundation of high school mathematics. Many of the tools are algebraic, but almost all concepts are looked at in a variety of ways including geometric, numeric and verbal approaches. Basic arithmetic and algebraic operations are modeled with physical manipulatives, making a geometric and visual connection with these operations. Our goal is for students to integrate and connect these methods. Principal topics:
Math 2A and 2B is an integrated course where students explore concepts through hands-on materials to create geometric conjectures, to use the language of algebra to describe some of these relationships, and to write formal proofs. Various algebraic concepts, such as simplification of square roots and variation functions, are approached geometrically. Slope and measurement are used to introduce trigonometric ratios. Writing computer programs and using dynamic geometry to create designs and figures, students deepen their understanding of geometric relationships as they experience the logic of computers. Principal topics:
Math 3A and 3B continues and deepens our work with algebraic manipulation and graphical representation of functions as mathematical models. The practices developed in previous courses are expected to be in place so that the focus is on understanding concepts and demonstrating mastery. In particular, we expect fluency with algebraic symbols and notation. As the last course required for all students, Math 3 rounds out the basics of mathematical literacy, intensifies the challenge for students, and provides the foundation for upper level electives. Principal topics:
Advanced Math Applications is appropriate for students who need additional preparation in order to get ready for Functions and other upper level math and science courses. Key topics from Math 1, 2 and 3 are reviewed and extended. Emphasis is placed on numeric and algebraic fluency. The course is also appropriate for any students interested in the history of mathematics and its applications to science. Principal topics:
- Ratio, proportion and scientific notation applied to astronomical and sub-atomic scales - Applications of linear, exponential, variation, quadratic and trigonometric functions in science - Review and Extension of Logarithms including a mastery of the laws of exponents - Applications of triangle trigonometry and vectors - Unit circle trigonometry and radians applied to mapping, astronomy and basic physics - Derivation of special relativity equations emphasizing algebraic fluency and number sense
(1/2 credit) Prerequisite: Math 3
Computer Science 1 is an introduction to programming concepts using BYOB, a computer language developed at UC Berkeley. It is based on Scratch (which was initiated at MIT, and is part of Math 2). BYOB makes it possible for students to program images, animation and interactions and learn about algorithms, data handling and other fundamentals of computer programming, in a visual context. The course is based on a curriculum developed by the UCBerkeley Computer Science department. Principal topics:
UAS Computer Science 2 will focus on the central idea of abstraction, make heavy use of the idea of functions as data, and discuss three programming paradigms: functional, object oriented and declarative. It will also focus on some of the "Big Ideas" of computing such as recursion, concurrency, simulations, algorithmic speed and the limits of computations. Other topics in computer science such as Game Theory, Artificial Intelligence and Distributed Computing will be briefly discussed. Most of the work will be done in SNAP! Once some of the big ideas have been discussed, we will study programming languages of today, such as Python. Students need facility with abstraction and some understanding of programming to be successful in this course. (1/2 credit) Prerequisites: Math 3, Computer Science 1 and/or other programming exposure, and instructor approval.
MMAPS (Mathematical Modeling and Probability-Statistics) is an elective that concentrates on the applications of mathematics to the social and life sciences. This course is appropriate both for students who intend to go on to calculus, as well as students who do not. Students apply concepts of counting, combinations and permutations to probability problems, and to the foundations of statistics. They use appropriate tools and techniques to interpret data. The course also includes the mathematics underlying the sampling techniques used by scientists and pollsters. Principal topics:
- Use of Fathom software to demonstrate and interpret data - Analyzing the association of two variables from graphs - Use of logarithms to straighten data - Use of least squares line and correlation coefficient to find formulas for models - Pascal's triangle and binomial distribution - Simulations with dice and with software - Sampling and sources of bias.
(1/2 credit) Prerequisite: Math 3
UAS Functions focuses on the topics needed for calculus. It is structured around functions as models of change, emphasizing that they can be grouped into families that model real-world phenomena. One goal of this course is to begin the transition toward more text-based college-level courses and more independent student learning. Students extend and deepen their knowledge and skills of the core curriculum (Math 1-3). Principal topics:
UAS Analytic Geometry introduces complex topics at the precalculus level that are challenging and useful for advanced students, but not prerequisite for the standard calculus course. The daily problems can be more substantial than the standard work in the core curriculum. There is a focus on moving fluently back and forth from a variety of algebraic forms to graphing in different coordinate systems in two and three dimensions. Students derive equations from definitions and general principles. Principal topics:
UAS Infinity allows students to discuss ancient paradoxes about infinity, and learn how Georg Cantor resolved them. This discussion launches our most theoretical course. Infinity includes a strong emphasis on formal proof and an introduction to chaos theory and fractal geometry, two computer-centered branches of mathematics. Connections are made with literature and philosophy. Principal topics:
(1/2 credit) Prerequisite: Math 3 UAS Calculus seeks to provide students with a solid foundation for subsequent college level courses in mathematics and other disciplines. The course is focused on differentiation, integration and their relationship. The math concepts are enhanced by applications relating to geometry, physics, economics, ecology and medicine. Students are expected to take full responsibility for their learning by using the text and applying all the skills and content learned in previous courses. They are expected to navigate between graphical, numeric, analytical and verbal representations of problems and to use the graphing calculator appropriately. Principal topics:
AP Calculus AB Exam Prep is a half-trimester course, which provides intensive preparation for students who wish to take the AB calculus advanced placement exam. It is a follow-up to the calculus course and helps students solidify their understanding while they develop test-taking skills. (1/4 credit) Prerequisite: Calculus
AP Calculus BC Exam Prep is a half-trimester course, which provides intensive preparation for students who wish to take the BC calculus advanced placement exam. Since the BC curriculum includes a number of extra topics beyond the calculus course, the course strikes a balance between review and the introduction of new ideas, primarily Taylor series. (1/4 credit) Prerequisite: Calculus CoursesOfferedin AlternateYears UAS Space is an advanced geometry course, which includes a thorough exploration of symmetry, including an introduction to group theory, and extends students' geometric experiences into three and four dimensions. Many hands-on 3d building labs, creative projects and the reading of mathematical fiction illustrate the concepts. Principal topics:

WHAT SKILLS DO MATHS STUDENTS DEVELOP?
Employers will consider problem solving, thinking logically and high level quantitative and numerical skills as obvious acquisitions on a maths degree. There may be specific knowledge attached to the particular degree such as statistical methods, applied mathematics and actuarial technical skills. See our skills section at
(includes financial maths and maths + accounting/stats/computing. UK/EU students only). These statistics only cover the first six months after graduation. The latest destinations for all subjects (1999-last year) including postgraduates can be found at
WHAT DO MATHS GRADUATES DO?
Maths graduates have fared well in the graduate labour market in the last few years. Both numerical and non-numerical jobs are open to them, so the choice of careers is wide.
The tables show that many Kent graduates have decided to 'use' the numerical side of their studies, either in financial jobs, engineering or statistical areas. A small number have chosen to continue their studies, while the trend amongst Actuarial students has been to aim for the financial sector. The computing industry also attracts some maths graduates, especially if they have a personal interest in computers and programming.
POSTGRADUATE STUDY
About 20% of maths graduates from the University of Kent have opted to do postgraduate study for a PhD or Masters degree in recent years. This is partly because grants are more easily available in the Sciences for postgraduate study than in the Arts or Social Sciences. It should be remembered though that postgraduate study is not an easy option and research for a PhD will require dedication and determination to see things through over a period of 3 or more years. See our section on Postgraduate Study
TEACHER TRAINING
A Postgraduate Certificate of Education Course (PGCE) lasts one year. It's not that difficult to obtain a place on a maths PGCE provided that you can show some evidence of interest in teaching such as voluntary work at a school. Remember that you can also teach maths in Colleges of Further Education, private schools and the Armed Forces. There is a shortage of science teachers, who are eligible for an enhanced bursary during training. See
STATISTICAL WORK
PROFILE: Statistician
Analyses and interprets data. Collects information, analyses it using statistical methods and computer programs such as SPSS. Interprets data for clients and users. Writes reports.
EMPLOYERS: The largest employer is the Government Statistical Service GSS which employs 700 staff in more than 30 departments. Medical Statistics is also another large area with some major hospitals having statistical units. Biometrists work as statisticians in the pharmaceutical industry, as researchers in medical schools and hospitals and in agricultural institutes. Epidemiologists reduce public health risks by studying the pattern of disease or health risks in populations.
SATISFACTIONS: intellectual stimulation of work.
NEGATIVES: spend most of time in the office.
DEGREE: Normally mathematics, statistics, economics or other statistics-related degrees. Graduates in other subjects can do an MSc in statistics.
Statistician Fast Stream
The Government Statistical Service (GSS) has an exceptional number of posts for Statistician Fast Streamers in 2013. Posts are available in central London and a variety of other locations across the UK.
What is the GSS?
The Government Statistical Service (GSS) is a decentralised professional community spread across most UK government departments and devolved administrations. Headed by the National Statistician, the GSS produces National Statistics and other official statistics, analysis, interpretation and provides statistical advice to improve understanding and help decision-making at the very highest levels.
What impact does the GSS have?
Population, the economy, the environment, the labour market, crime, education and health are just some of the many topics covered by our Fast Stream Statisticians. The statistics we produce are reported daily throughout the media and provide the evidence needed to make informed decisions across a wide range of political, social and economic issues.
Candidates must be highly numerate with exceptional team-working, problem solving and organisational skills, with the ability to become future leaders of the Civil Service. Candidates who have (or are expecting) a minimum of a 2:1 degree in a subject containing formal statistical training (eg Statistics, Maths, Economics, Psychology, Sociology, Sciences, Geography) are invited to apply.
Development
Statistician Fast Streamers take part in a structured learning and development process and will be stretched and supported in a variety of posts, often across different government departments to help them develop the core and statistical skills to enable them to fulfil their potential.
MATHEMATICS IN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
Many mathematicians are recruited into the defence industry and other science and engineering companies to do a variety of work including mathematical modeling and designing algorithms. The work is often research orientated and can be intellectually stimulating and less business-orientated focus than some other areas.

Logic is the systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.
Quants apply mathematical and computing methods of analysis to financial problems (quant is an abbreviation of quantative). They develop algorithms to predict what the financial markets will do but also work in statistical arbitrage, and electronic market making. They work for hedge funds and banks and work as hedge fund managers, derivatives traders and risk managers. Many entrants have PhDs in mathematics, physics or computing and the work is very highly paid.
Impure Mathematics
Once upon a time (1/t), pretty little Polly Nomial was strolling across a field of vectors when she came to the edge of a singularly large matrix.
Now Polly was convergent and her mother had made it an absolute condition that she must never enter such an array without her brackets on. Polly, however, who had changed her variables that morning and was feeling particularly badly behaved, ignored this condition on the grounds that it was insufficient and made her way in amongst the complex elements.
Rows and columns enveloped her on all sides. Tangents approached her surface. She became tensor and tensor. Quite suddenly, three branches of a hyperbola touched her at a single point. She oscillated violently, lost all sense of directrix and went completely divergent. As she reached a turning point she tripped over a square root which was protruding from the erf and plunged headlong down a steep gradient. When she was differentiated once more she found herself, apparently alone, in a non-euclidean space.
She was being watched, however. That smooth operator, Curly Pi, was lurking inner product. As his eyes devoured her curvilinear coordinates, a singular expression crossed his face. Was she still convergent, he wondered. He decided to integrate improperly at once.
Hearing a vulgar function behind her, Polly turned round and saw Curly Pi approaching with his power series extrapolated. She could see at once, by his degenerate conic and his dissipative terms, that he was bent on no good.
"Eureka" she gasped.
"Ho, ho," he said. "What a symmetric little Polynomial you are. I can see you're bubbling over with secs".
"Come, come," said Curly. "Let's off to a decimal place I know and I'll take you to the limit."
"Never," gasped Polly.
"Exchlf," he swore, using the vilest oath he knew. His patience was gone. Coshing her over the coefficient with a log until she was powerless, Curly removed her discontinuities. He stared at her significant places and began to smooth her points of inflexion. Poor Polly. All was up. She felt his hand tending to her asymptotic limit. Her convergence would soon be gone forever.
There was no mercy, for Curly was a heavyside operator. He integrated by parts. He integrated by partial fractions. The complex beast even went all the way around and did a contour integration. What an indignity. To be multiply connected on her first integration. Curly went on operating until he was absolutely and completely orthogonal.
When Polly got home that evening, her mother noticed that she had been truncated in several places. But it was too late to differentiate now. As the months went by, Polly increased monotonically. Finally she generated a small but pathological function which left surds all over the place until she was driven to distraction.
The moral of this sad story is this: If you want to keep your expressions convergent, never allow them a single degree of freedom.

GMAT Math is easy! Well that is what I thought when I was preparing for the exam. But I knew better when I missed a perfect 800 score in the GMAT because of some mistakes on the math section. And from my personal experience, I can say that a lot of students with Math/science background feel the same way.
On the other hand, there are students who shudder at the very thought of facing a math problem. Well, neither of these approaches are conducive to a high math score. What is required is a thorough study of the fundamentals, a basic grasp of the concepts, and developing an ability to apply these concepts to the gmat type problems. Then comes the ability to solve a gmat problem in multiple ways, the ability to use shortcuts when stumped, and the ability to guess intelligently. Whether you are a novice or a math expert, you do need to brush up /build up your fundamentals, and then go on to the tougher problems.
And this is Exactly what the 'Winners' Guide to GMAT Math does. It helps you to develop a solid understanding of the underlying concepts, builds upon this understanding by providing various different types of examples, exposes you to alternative
ways of looking at a particular problem, and finally shows you how to use shortcuts.

Math
The goal of Alabama's K-12 mathematics standards is to prepare students for future opportunities and options in the workplace and for everyday life. This goal is accomplished through building mathematical foundations that enable all students to become college- and career-ready. The most basic level for building a mathematical foundation is for students to think and reason mathematically while building productive work habits. As students apply mathematical ways of thinking to real world challenges and practice communicating their understanding, they gain power as problem solvers and fluency in procedural skills. Through the implementation of the 2010 Alabama Course of Study: Mathematics, students will be well equipped for the workforce upon graduation or be ready to pursue higher levels of education in Alabama's colleges and universities.

Chapter 2. (More) Complicated Equations: Taking Algebra on the road
Imagine a world where there is more than ONE thing you don't know. Yes, it's hard to imagine... but there are problems out there with more than one unknown. Not only that, but sometimes you've got one unknown that appears multiple times in the same equation! No worries, though... you already know how to manipulate your equations. Add that knowledge to the tools you'll learn in this chapter, and you'll be solving more complicated expressions in no time at all.

Welcome to the Pre-Calculus/Calculus portion of the site!
Our philosophy is slightly different in this area. Because
of the wide range of Pre-Calculus/Calculus programs and the equally wide
range of material and methods taught, we felt it would be unwise
to create step-by-step tutorials (like you see in the other
sections). We also assume that those who have reached this
level of math have probably mastered the basic concepts that are
covered in tutorials. Instead, they need help with specific problems
or detailed concepts. So, rather than creating tutorials for this
section, we've included the things that
we would have loved to have during our Pre-Calc/Calcexperiences:

Description
Mathematical functions have their ups and downs, and you'll learn to identify and characterize them in no time with this little app. It supports two challenges: 1) given a mystery graph, can you express the plotted function based on as few (x,y) coordinates as possible and 2) given a mathematical expression for a function, like f(x) = cos(x) ^ 2, can you match it to one of three displayed graphs?
The functions are generated according to criteria of your choosing. You can choose to omit trigonometric and log functions entirely, make exponential functions appear infrequently, or place bounds on coefficients. From these criteria, functions are randomly produced, offering endless variety and a challenge that grows at your pace.
I welcome suggestions to improve this app. If you can think of features or functions that would improve your learning experience, please email me.

BetterCalc is designed to solve complex mathematical expressions, and handles parentheses and scientific functions with ease. BetterCalc allows expressions to contain comments, and features a panel which allows for the defining and redefining of numerical or expression variables. These variables can then be accessed in the expression through their text-based names. Changes to the variable values will instantly cause the total to update. BetterCalc also features a unique feature called Expression Shortcuts. These are user-defined shortcuts that correspond to numerical values or expressions, or even expressions containing other shortcuts. What's New: New in version 4.2: The application has been rewritten, resulting in greater speed and improved stability. Improved compatibility with Mac OS X version 10.2. Improved interface. The main window correctly remembers the status of the variable and scientific panels Support for Services has been added. Real-time resizing has been disabled to speed up the application on lower-end Macs. Scientific functions, including trigonometric functions and logarithms. The variables field can now be resized.

Ms. Bouwhuis' Web Page
Welcome to my Mathematics class. I look forward to the new school year and hope to get to know each of you during the course of the semester. I expect students to:
Learn to work collaboratively as well as independently.
Organize and represent information in different forms.
Communicate their knowledge of mathematics both orally and in written form.
Use concrete materials to develop understanding of mathematical ideas.
Gain confidence in their ability to apply mathematical skills and thought in real-life applications.
Keep track of their own grade via the assignment sheets
Students will be graded on their participation in projects as well as their performance on assignments, tests and quizzes. Written assignments will include mathematical drill practice as well as open-ended questions and investigations. Drill practice and repetition is important in order for students to master the skills and for quality memory retention. The need to communicate in an organized manner is essential in this course and in everyday life. Open-ended questions are one avenue for strengthening communication skills, while investigations train students to explore, conjecture, look for patterns, tests, observe and analyze.
Students will need a 3-ring binder, college ruled lined paper, or a hole punched spiral notebook, graph paper, and pencils with an eraser for this class. This notebook will contain the materials needed for this class along with class notes, warm-ups, homework assignments, and assignment sheets for each chapter. The notebook will be collected and graded at the end of each semester and completed notebook/binders will receive extra credit at this time.
Classroom rules and consequences will be discussed and determined in class during the first week of school.
STUDENT EVALUATION:
Each student's grade is based on the total points accumulated during each grading period. Students are expected to keep their running total of points allowing them to know their exact grade at any point in the semester. The point system per every chapter is as follows:
Chapter Exam 60-100 (6th grade) 100-200 (Algebra)
Homework/Warm-Up Assign. 10 points each (10-20 assign. per chapter)
Quizzes 30 (6th grade) 60-100 (Algebra)
Projects 30
Total Points per Unit 200-330 (6th grade) 300-400 (Algebra)
(Points are approximate and may vary from chapter to chapter)
Approximately half of the book will be covered in the first semester, the second half in the second semester. The grading scale will be as follows: 100-92%=A, 91-90=A-, 89-88%=B+, 87-82=B, 81-80=B-, 79-78%=C+, 77-72=C, 71-70=C-, 69-68%=D+, 67-62=D, 61-60=D-, 59-0%=F.

Calculus AB covers all of the material
customarily taught in the first semester of a college-level calculus class
plus much of the material taught during the second semester. An Advanced
Placement Exam may be taken in May. Scores of 3, 4, and 5 are generally
considered as evidence of satisfactory mastery of the material. Different
colleges grant placement or credit based on scores on AP Exams.
The
textbook being used in these sections is Calculus (Fifth Edition) by Swokowski. A graphing calculator (but not the TI89) is
required for this course.
A general description of the topics which are studied in this course
includes: a review of precalculus topics (algebra, functions, trigonometry,
logarithms and exponents), limits (definitions and techniques for
determining limits), differential calculus (determining derivatives of
functions of a single variable, determining derivatives of implicitly
defined functions, using derivatives to determine relative extrema of
functions and to draw graphs of functions, using derivatives to solve
optimization problems), integral calculus (calculating the area under graphs
using numerical means such as Riemann sums, trapezoidal rule and Simpsonís
rule, determining indefinite integrals and definite integrals, applying
integration to a host of problems such as problems of determining area under
a curve, area between curves, volumes of solids formed by rotating regions
about lines, using more sophisticated integration techniques to find the
integrals of a variety of expressions).

Having recently finished my math undergrad I audited a course based on Davenport and had a reading course using Apostol, which to use depends on what skills and smaller results you want them to come away with. The things you mentioned like big-O and summation are given a pretty thorough treatment in Apostol. I certainly wasn't cheated and really appreciated having some practice with the skills. It also had enough material for you to have some flexibility.
But, it might seem like too much of an undergraduate text (it introduces the definition of a group before it talks about characters). It also gives a pretty elementary proof for Dirichlet's theorem. Which you may not want.
A book not mentioned that also has a lot of topics and is nice to learn from is Additive Number Theory by Melvyn Nathanson. The material here is very different from that of the other two, but still worthwhile and accessible.
If I had to pick one, I'd go with Apostol. It was so readable and I felt like I got a great foundation in the ideas and skills of number theory.

Algebra
Algebra is a branch of mathematics that uses mathematical statements to define variable relationships. Letters and symbols are used to denote unknown numbers, and common algebraic terms include expressions and equations. Algebra has many subcategories including: elementary algebra, abstract algebra, linear algebra and algebraic geometry.
The following academic lectures will help you understand both basic and more advanced algebraic concepts. When you finish the videos you will have a good grasp on the underlying principles involved in this branch of mathematics.

More and more, prospective elementary teachers are being asked to develop what the Conference Board of Mathematical Sciences (CBMS) calls "the habits of a mathematical thinker." This breakthrough text became the new standard for training future elementary math teachers by doing just that, helping them absorb the ideas underlying essential math concepts, rather than just working problems and memorizing facts. Created from extensive math education research and class-testing, the book's innovative pedagogy, convenient format (three-hole punched, perforated pages, wide margins), and supporting technology make it the ideal text for helping today's students become tomorrow's teachers.

No textbook communicates the basics of statistical analysis to liberal arts students as effectively as the bestselling Statistics: Concepts and Controversies (SCC). And no text makes it easier for these students to understand and talk about statistical claims they encounter in commercials, campaigns, the media, sports, and elsewhere in their lives.
The new edition offers SCC's signature combination of engaging cases, real-life examples and exercises, helpful pedagogy, rich full-color design, and innovative media learning tools, all significantly updated.

Many students of linear algebra hit a wall at mid-semester. Having spent the first part of the term doing mostly computational work, they are unprepared for the rigors of conceptual thinking in an abstract setting that is frequently the focus of the second half of the course.
Holt's Linear Algebra with Applications blends computational and conceptual topics throughout. Early treatment of conceptual topics in the context of Euclidean space gives students more time, and a familiar setting, in which to absorb them. This organization also makes it possible to treat eigenvalues and eigenvectors earlier than in most texts. Abstract vector spaces are introduced later, once students have developed a solid conceptual foundation.
Concepts and topics are frequently accompanied by applications to provide context and motivation. Because many students learn by example, Linear Algebra with Applications provides a large number of representative examples, over and above those used to introduce topics. The text also has over 2500 exercises, covering computational and conceptual topics over a range of difficulty levels.

Mathematics
Mathematics continues to be one of the top-performing subjects at Parktown Boys' High School. Our learners have excelled in this subject in the past and continue to do so. Our team of highly-skilled educators are committed to ensuring that our learners understand difficult Mathematical concepts and put in extra effort to guarantee success. - Mr J Odendaal
Mathematics includes many different subjects, so it is difficult to define precisely. We can define it simply as "the study of quantities and relations through the use of numbers and symbols." Mathematics includes the study of number systems, set theory, algebra, Euclidian geometry, analytical geometry, trigonometry, statistics and calculus.
The study of Mathematics allows learners to develop thinking skills. These skills can be used in every area of life and a wide range of career opportunities are opened with Mathematics.
The National Curriculum Statement for Mathematics, states:
"Mathematics enables creative and logical reasoning about problems in the physical and social world and in the context of Mathematics itself. It is a distinctly human activity practised by all cultures. Knowledge in the mathematical sciences is constructed through the establishment of descriptive, numerical and symbolic relationships. Mathematics is based on observing patterns; with rigorous logical thinking, this leads to theories of abstract relations. Mathematical problem solving enables us to understand the world and make use of that understanding in our daily lives. Mathematics is developed and contested over time through both language and symbols by social interaction and is thus open to change.
STAFF
Parktown Boys' High School is very fortunate to have a highly qualified staff in the Mathematics department with many years of experience. The Mathematics staff for 2013 are:
Learners are also able to make special arrangements with their individual teachers.
MATHEMATICS PAPER 3

CONTENT:
The syllabus for Mathematics Paper 3 consists of two main sections:
1.
Euclidean Geometry
2.
Probability Theory
It is to the advantage of boys wishing to study pure Mathematics, Engineering, Actuarial Science or any of the natural sciences to take this subject. As of 2014, Grade 12 learners will be tested on these sections in the core syllabus.
LESSONS
Lessons for Maths Paper 3 are offered to Grade 12 learners on Friday afternoons (14:30 - 16:00). These lessons are compulsory for learners who register for the subject.
RESOURCES
There are many resources on the internet to help learners achieve in Mathematics. There are past exam papers, revision exercises and extension activities available on the internet.

Derivatives Help : Videos | Worksheets | Word Problems
Many students find derivatives difficult. At TuLyn, we have hundreds of free derivatives video tutorials, printable derivatives worksheets, and derivatives word problems to help you better understand derivatives and get better grades.
Derivatives
In calculus, the derivative is a measurement of how a function changes when the values of its inputs change. Loosely speaking, a derivative can be thought of as how much a quantity is changing at some given point. For example, the derivative of the position or distance of a car at some point in time is the instantaneous velocity, or instantaneous speed (respectively), at which that car is traveling (conversely the integral of the velocity is the car's position).
A closely related notion is the differential of a function.
The derivative of a function at a chosen input value describes the best linear approximation of the function near that input value. For a real-valued function of a single real variable, the derivative at a point equals the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function at that point.
The process of finding a derivative is called differentiation. The fundamental theorem of calculus states that differentiation is the reverse process to integration.
Many students find derivatives difficult. They feel overwhelmed with derivatives homework, tests and projects. And it is not always easy to find derivatives tutor who is both good and affordable.

There are currently no reviews for Saxon Math Intermediate 3: Written Practice Workbook.
I have found Saxon Math to be very thorough. I have used Saxon 1, 2, 3 and 5/4 now. Thus far, we have been very pleased with the curriculum. It allows me, the teacher to move a quickly or as slowly as the student needs. I am able to use the tests and assessments included in the student workbook to determine where to place the child and to even skip ahead if needed so that valuable time is not spent on things already mastered. The Teachers Manual is able to be reused with other students, but we always purchase a new workbook for each new student. The price of the workbooks are very reasonable.
We used four other math curricula in the course of 15 years of homeschooling. I looked at Saxon Math when our oldest was in the 5th grade and didn't think I could do it. I was wrong. After years of struggling with other math programs I made the switch for our two smallest in 1st grade. We have used the Saxon Math for three years now and it has made a big difference in how we look at Math. I would highly recommend this curriculum. There is no DVD from Saxon for k-3, but starting in 4/5 you can purchase one. There is a company called Destination Math that has an online program that runs right with the Saxon Math. Just for the record, Math was not my best subject when I was in school. So those first years of teaching were a struggle for me to try to teach something I had a hard time understanding. Saxon Math has helped me while I have been teaching. It's very easy to follow and one of the few subjects that I actually follow very closely by the teacher's book.
We just switched to Saxon month a few months ago. I have a daughter who really doesn't like math. I took her to Mardel's and let her choose a math program (I got final approval rights. ;) ) She surprised me and picked Saxon. It is extremely black and white and not like the colorful books we have used before. She loves it so far and seems to be grasping the concepts. We didn't buy the manipulatives as I had a lot of them at home already (from other math programs we've used.) I can't really give this an excellent review as we are still new into it.
This curriculum was perfect for my sons needs at the moment. He did go through the years worth of work very quickly, but he has a real thirst for math. My son wanted a few math games added to suppliment his text work. It is a good curriculum.

Linear Algebra With Application - 8th edition
Summary: Updated and revised to increase clarity and further improve student learning, the Eighth Edition of Gareth Williams' classic text is designed for the introductory course in linear algebra. It provides a flexible blend of theory and engaging applications for students within engineering, science, mathematics, business management, and physics. It is organized into three parts that contain core and optional sections. There is then ample time for the instructor to select the material that...show more gives the course the desired flavor.Part 1 introduces the basics, presenting systems of linear equations, vectors and subspaces of R(n) (make sure it is superscript n), matrices, linear transformations, determinants, and eigenvectors. Part 2 builds on the material presented in Part1 and goes on to introduce the concepts of general vector spaces, discussing properties of bases, developing the rank/nullity theorem, and introducing spaces of matrices and functions.Part 3 completes the course with important ideas and methods of numerical linear algebra, such as ill-conditioning, pivoting, and LU decomposition.Throughout the text the author takes care to fully and clearly develop the mathematical concepts and provide modern applications to reinforce those concepts. The applications range from theoretical applications within differential equations and least square analysis, to practical applications in fields such as archeology, demography, electrical engineering and more. New exercises can be found throughout that tie back to the modern examples in the text.Key Features of the Eighth Edition:-- Updated and revised throughout with new section material and exercises included in every chapter. -- Each section begins with a motivating introduction, which ties material to the previously learned topics. -- Carefully explained examples illustrate key concepts throughout the text. -- Includes such new topics such as QR Factorization and Singular Value Decomposition.-- Includes new app

Virtual Pencil Algebra
Individuals who are pencil impaired (blind, motor impaired, or learning disabled) have a very difficult time writing and manipulating Algebraic equations, since operating a pencil effectively is very difficult if not impossible. If they are blind or visually impaired they have the additional problem of not being able to see the equation and its elements. It is very difficult for them to learn how to do the higher-level mathematics, such as advanced Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, etc. So, the goal of this project was to develop an environment on a computer that would allow pencil impaired students to learn and demonstrate that they have the ability to solve higher-level math problems.
A standard Windows application has been produced to present equations visually and audibly. Phase I was devoted to developing solutions to the basic issues that a blind student encounters when dealing with simple Algebraic equations. There were three specific technical challenges we were looking to overcome:
1. The presentation of the Algebraic equation audibly in an understandable fashion, so blind students can more effectively "read" the equation. This also provides reinforcement for learning disabled students.
2. A mechanism to navigate around an Algebraic equation, including equation specific location information.
3. A mechanism to input data and manipulate the equation, making it possible for the student to work through and solve the problem.
We have accomplished all three of these goals. Our research has resulted in a product, VPAlgebra, that incorporates the following capabilities:
Reading Equations - When working through an Algebraic equation, a blind student first needs to have the ability to have the entire equation "read" to them, to get an overview. So, it is important to develop a method to present the entire equation verbally, in an easily understandable way. VPAlgebra will read the equation, describing the various parts with phrases like "the quantity squared", "square root of", and "fraction of". Naturally the entire equation is displayed visually on the screen, with fractions, radicals, quantities, exponents, etc., in the students choice of colors and font sizes.
Navigating Equations - After reading the entire equation, it is important for the student to be able to navigate to any point within the equation. In addition, a method needs to be developed that will provide, on demand, an exact description of the current location. A sighted student can visually see and understand the location; however, blind students need this information textually. Therefore terms such as operand, quantity and fraction are used, and prefix specifiers such as first, second, third, are used to indicate locations of these macro elements. Otherwise, the appropriate term for sub-elements, such as numerator, denominator, sub (subscript) and Exponent (superscript) are used. A focus rectangle, like in a spread sheet, points out visually where the focus or insertion point is in the equation.
There are commands for navigation among the elements at any particular level, to access sub-elements, and to back out to additional macro elements such as quantities and fractions. There are other commands to navigate among these macro elements, regardless of the current location. The users have the option to assign their own preferred keystroke to these commands. This approach provides access to, and location information about, any point in an Algebraic equation for students using the keyboard or the mouse or other alternative input devices.
Manipulating Equations - Although it is very valuable to have the ability to navigate to any point in an equation, a student must also be able to manipulate elements of the equation at that location. This manipulation includes editing, copying and inserting elements.
It is difficult for pencil impaired students to take a complicated equation, and re-write it manipulating portions along the way. Commands to perform each of these operations have been developed, so the equation can be re-written and solved a piece at a time. These steps are all recorded and saved so they can be reviewed later, or printed out to hand in to a sighted teacher.
Features for Educators - to Teachers are provided the ability to build up multi-problem assignments, which can be provided to the able-bodied students in print and for the pencil impaired students electronically in VP Algebra . This allows the teacher to produce an assignment or test just once, for all their students regardless of their disability, saving a lot of time and effort. The electronic version can be emailed or distributed over the network, and password-protected so the original problems cannot be changed by the student.
VP Algebra can be used by itself with no special access technology, such as when a teacher demonstrates the techniques or creates the assignments. It can be used with a variety of alternative input devices, like IntelliKeys or other keyboards, track balls, switches, or on-screen keyboards. Blind users must use it with the Jaws screen reader for now, until we configure other screen readers to work with it.
It runs only in Windows, from Windows 95 and newer. You can download a demo or purchase it on-line From the Downloads Page.
VP Algebra costs $399 plus shipping and handling ($7). This price is good until the end of 2004. One purchased product can be used by both the student and the teacher, i.e. you don't have to buy two.

General Information
About this course:
The goal of this course is to develop your understanding of the
concepts of Calculus and your ability to apply them to problems
both within and outside of Mathematics. Functions are presented
and analyzed as tables, graphs, and formulas. You need to
continue to develop your proficiency at manipulating formulas
and equations, which are the language of science. Fluency in
this language is essential for success in science or
engineering.
Text:Single
Variable Calculus (Stony Brook Edition), by James Stewart.
This is the same book as Stewarts Concepts and Contexts, 4th
edition, but with a different cover and a lower price. This same
book is used by MAT 125, MAT 126, MAT127, MAT131 and MAT132;
Suffolk Community College also uses this book, but with the
other cover.
Calculators: You may
find using a graphing calculator (TI 83, TI84 are the best
choices) helpful. Some of the HW problems will require a
calculator for their solution but no quiz or test
questions will require the calculator. Also, in this course, no
calculators will be allowed on exams.
Homework: You cannot
learn calculus without working problems. Expect to spend at
least 8 hours a week solving problems; do all of the assigned
problems, as well as additional ones to study. If you do not
understand how to do something, get help from your TA, your
lecturer, your classmates, or in the Math Learning Center (in
the basement of the Mathematics Tower). Almost every lecture
will include homework. We will be using WebAssign, a
web-based system in which you see the problems, submit your
answers and/or solutions and get immediate feedback on your
work. You will be graded on how many questions you get correct
and how many tries it takes you to get the correct answer. You
will receive more information concerning its use in separate
documents. These will be posted in Bb as they become available.
Keep an eye on your email for announcements.
Recitations: These
are required sessions with your TA in which homework will be
discussed and questions will be answered. Tests and quizzes will
be returned during recitations.
Quizzes: The grades
you receive by submitting your HW through WebAssign will be half
of the recitation grade. Quizzes given in class will be the
other half.
Reading: The textbook
is intended to be read. Read the assigned sections corresponding
to the assignments.This will greatly increase your
comprehension, and enable you to ask intelligent questions in
class. Furthermore, the lectures will not always be able to
cover all of the material for which you will be responsible.
Examinations and grading:
There will be two evening exams, and the ever-popular final
exam. The dates and times are listed below; the locations will
be announced in lecture. Success on the exams will require
correct and efficient solutions to the more difficult of the
homework problems.
Math Learning Center:
The Math Learning Center, in Math S-240A, is there for you to
get help with Calculus. It is staffed most days and some
evenings -- your lecturer or TA may hold some of his or her
office hours there. A schedule should be posted outside the room
and at the Math Undergraduate Office.
Cell Phones: If you
have a cell phone with you, please have it turned off or set to
vibrate. Allowing your phone go off in class is inconsiderate.
If you need to talk to someone on the phone please leave the
room and move far enough away so that the class is not
disturbed. Playing video games on the phone and text messaging
are equally inappropriate.
DSS advisory: If you
have a physical, psychological, medical, or learning disability
that may affect your course work, please contact Disability
Support Services (DSS) office: ECC (Educational Communications
Center) Building, room 128, telephone (631) 632-6748/TDD. DSS
will determine with you what accommodations are necessary and
appropriate. Arrangements should be made early in the semester
(before the first exam) so that your needs can be accommodated.
All information and documentation of disability is confidential.
Students requiring emergency evacuation are encouraged to
discuss their needs with their professors and DSS. For
procedures and information, go to the following web site
and search Fire safety and Evacuation and Disabilities.
Conduct: The
following statement is University policy: "Stony Brook
University expects students to maintain standards of personal
integrity that are in harmony with the educational goals of the
institution; to observe national, state, and local laws and
University regulations; and to respect the rights, privileges,
and property of other people. Faculty are required to report to
the Office of Judicial Affairs any disruptive behavior that
interrupts their ability to teach, compromises the safety of the
learning environment, and/or inhibits students' ability
to learn."
Email: Please be sure
to use Standard English in writing emails to me, your lecturer
and TA, including correct spelling and punctuation. Also use
complete sentences. Start the subject line with "MAT 125"
then your subject.
Blackboard: You are
required to use this application throughout the course to access
assignments and other material, to view grades, to contact me
and to check for announcements. (See the box below.) It is also
a good way to contact other students in class to complain about
the professor. It would best if you check the site and your
email daily since you are responsible for any updates or other
material that are posted.
You can access class information on-line at:
If you have used Stony Brook's Blackboard system previously,
your login information (Username and Password) has not
changed. If you have never used Stony Brook's Blackboard
system , your initial password is your SOLAR ID# and your
username is the same as your Campus Net ID , which is
generally your first initial and the first 7 letters of your
last name (if you have a sparky account, it's your username).

Authors
Why a liberal arts mathematics book with a quantitative literacy focus?
How do you engage students with the study of math? Crauder, Evans, Johnson, and Noell have found the answer: Help them become intelligent consumers of the quantitative data to which they are exposed every day—in the news, on TV, and on the Internet.
In an age of record credit card debt, opinion polls, and questionable statistics, too few students have mastered the basic mathematical concepts required to think about and evaluate data. Quantitative Literacy: Thinking Between the Lines develops the idea of rates of change as a key concept in helping students make good personal, financial, and political decisions.
The goal of Quantitative Literacy is a more informed generation of college students who think critically about the data provided to them, the images shown to them, the facts presented to them, and the offers made to them. Quantitative Literacy shows students the mathematics that matters to them: their bank account, their medical tests, their daily news feed. It also develops their mathematical thinking, helping them to understand the difference between truthful and misleading mathematical reporting.

IDEA MATH provides in-depth enrichment in important mathematical areas, particularly in the fields from which contests
problems are drawn: algebra, combinatorics, geometry, and number theory. The program provides eight major series for
students with different mathematical backgrounds. Each course runs for 2 or 3 full sessions, each session is comprised of
6 class meetings, and each class meeting lasts 3 hours. All classes meet on Saturdays during the school year. We have
tried our best to avoid SAT test dates, major competition (MATHCOUNTS, HMMT, etc.)dates and school vacations.
[See courses schedule]
Please note:
(*) All placement requests will require approval from the IDEA Math academic staff.
(**) It is highly recommended that students enroll in all sessions of a "linked" course,
so that they can gain a rounded understanding of the subjects studied.

Customer Reviews:
Good and bad
By Fred K. Johnson - November 11, 2006
This book is very good at what it does cover and very bad at what it doesn't cover. It's clear it was written by a mathematician. The topics and tricks dealing with functions and graphing are great. Anyone taking a math class such as Algebra, Trig or Calculus will be helped. It doesn't cover certain important topics at all or very lightly. There is nothing on programming. Two pages are dedicated to writing your own functions with nothing on how you can use a user defined function in a formula. While the book carefully explains how to make sure if variables are defined or not there is nothing on folders which would be a great help as the scope of a variable is a folder. By organizing folders you can keep things seperated and track when variables are defined. There is nothing on units of measure which is a strong point of this machine. That would be important in say a physics or EE class. It has very little on statistics for someone in a statistics class.
Unlocking the Power of the TI-89
By Naut Gauss - September 30, 2005
"TI-89 ...For Dummies" has unlocked for me many useful features of this powerful calculator. The TI-89 is required for a sequence of classes I am taking. The TI supplied manual reads like some poor engineer was asked to spruce up the notes from designing the thing. But CC. Edwards presents essential features in a clear, fun, and readable manner. I wanted skills that would help me quickly perform needed operartions and understand how to get out of quirky modes that you can blunder into. Thanks, C.C., you did it! She is a good writer.
The book that should come with the calculator
By Robert L. Wilson "lifelong student" - March 14, 2006
When you purchase a TI-89, you should be either directed to purchase the Dummies book for it, or it should be included with the device. More informative (and easier reading than the dry manual included) the Dummies book is excellent to assist you in the learning curve and get your money's worth out of the device.
My opinion is that the only dummies are those who do not make use of their Dummies books. Well written by knowledgable professionals who have a sense of humor.

Algebraic conventions
You can use these techniques and examples when planning lesson sequences on
algebraic conventions.
Pupils need to be as familiar with the conventions of algebra as they are with those
of arithmetic. Algebraic conventions should become a routine part of algebraic
thinking, allowing greater access to more challenging problems.
It is a common error to deal with these conventions rather too quickly.
How pupils understand and manipulate algebraic forms is determined by their
mental processing of the meaning of the symbols and the extent to which they can
distinguish one algebraic form from another.
A goal is to develop pupils' mental facility to recognise which type of algebraic form
is presented or needs to be constructed as part of a problem. Some time spent on
this stage of the process can reduce misconceptions when later problems become
quite complex.
For example, in the equation p+7=20 the letter p represents a
particular unknown number, whereas in p+q=20, p and q can each
take on any one of a set of different values and can therefore be called variables.
Equations, formulae and functions can describe relationships between variables. In
a function such as q=3p+5 we would say that 3p was a variable term,
whereas 5 is a constant term.
Be precise and explicit in using this vocabulary and expect similar usage by pupils.
Progression
Representing an unknown value in equations with a unique solution:
3x+5=11
Representing unknown values in equations with a set of solutions:
p+q=20
Representing variables in formulae:
2l+2b=p
Representing variables in functions:
y=x2-7
Identifying equivalent terms and expressions
It is often the case that pupils do not realise when an equation or expression has
been changed, or when it looks different but is in fact still the same. The ability
to recognise and preserve equivalent forms is a very important skill in algebraic
manipulation and one in which pupils need practice.
One way of approaching this is to start with simple cases and generate more
complex, but equivalent, forms. This can then be supported by tasks involving
matching and classifying.
Progression
Simple chains of operations, for example 2x+x+5
Some with unknown coefficients, for example ax+5
Linear brackets, for example 7(x+2)
Quadratic brackets, for example (x+2)(x+5)
Positive indices, for example x3×x.
Identifying types and forms of formulae
This will build on the understanding of equivalence and will rely on knowledge of
commutativity and inverse.
Encourage pupils to see general structure in formulae by identifying small collections
of terms as 'objects'.
These objects can then be considered as replacing the numbers in 'families of facts',
such as 3 + 5 = 8, 5 + 3 = 8, 3 = 8 – 5, 5 = 8 – 3. The equations are then more easily
manipulated mentally.
For example, consider these equivalent formulae:
ab=l
a=l×b
To develop pupils' understanding of the dimensions of a formula, make explicit
connections between the structure of the formula and its meaning. Consider the
units associated with each variable and how these build up, term by term.
For example, consider the dimensions of these formulae:
a=l×b
2l+2b=p
Involve pupils in generating and explaining non-standard formulae, for example, for
composite shapes.

an introduction to integrability and conformal field theory in two dimensions using quantum groups. The book begins with a brief introduction to S-matrices, spin chains and vertex models as a prelude to the study of Yang–Baxter algebras and the Bethe ansatz. The basic ideas of integrable systems are then introduced, giving particular emphasis to vertex and face models. Special attention is given to explaining the underlying mathematical tools, including braid groups, knot invariants and towers of algebra. The book then goes on to give a detailed introduction to quantum groups as a prelude to chapters on integrable models, two-dimensional conformal field theories and superconformal field theories. The book contains many diagrams and exercises to illustrate key points in the text. less

Description
For courses in Geometry or Geometry for Future Teachers.
This popular book has four main goals: 1. to help students become better problem solvers, especially in solving common application problems involving geometry; 2. to help students learn many properties of geometric figures, to verify them using proofs, and to use them to solve applied problems; 3. to expose students to the axiomatic method of synthetic Euclidean geometry at an appropriate level of sophistication; and 4. to provide students with other methods for solving problems in geometry, namely using coordinate geometry and transformation geometry. Beginning with informal experiences, the book gradually moves toward more formal proofs, and includes special topics sections.

Objectives
Summary: This module is from Elementary Algebra by Denny Burzynski and Wade Ellis, Jr.
This chapter contains many examples of arithmetic techniques that are used directly or indirectly in algebra. Since the chapter is intended as a review, the problem-solving techniques are presented without being developed. Therefore, no work space is provided, nor does the chapter contain all of the pedagogical features of the text. As a review, this chapter can be assigned at the discretion of the instructor and can also be a valuable reference tool for the student.
This chapter contains many examples of arithmetic techniques that are used directly or indirectly in algebra. Since the chapter is intended as a review, the problem-solving techniques are presented without being developed. If you would like a quick review of arithmetic before attempting the study of algebra, this chapter is recommended reading. If you feel your arithmetic skills are pretty good, then move on to Basic Properties of Real Numbers ((Reference)). However you feel, do not hesitate to use this chapter as a quick reference of arithmetic techniques.
The other chapters include Practice Sets paired with Sample Sets with sufficient space for the student to work out the problems. In addition, these chapters include a Summary of Key Concepts, Exercise Supplements, and Proficiency Exams

19.5 Where do we go from here?
In a usual calculus course you learn very little about numerical computations,
and instead spend time applying integration to computing volumes of certain
surfaces in three dimensions.
This is something worth doing, I am sure, but I
am getting tired of torturing you, and suggest you learn this elsewhere.
The
next step after studying calculus, is learning how to use the ideas and techniques
already discussed to handle problems in three or more dimensions.
It turns out that no new techniques are necessary to do this, and with the
appropriate definitions and concepts, you can do wonders.
If you want to learn
about such stuff, you could do worse than looking at course 18.013A, which
is on the web.
We will do one more thing, and that is to discuss handling
differential equations, like those produced in the modeling in earlier
chapters.

Writing Algebraic Expressions
Before algebra students can be expected to understand traditional "word problems," they need experience using algebra as a language, i.e. writing algebraic expressions and equations. At Pierce College we are encouraging elementary algebra instructors to include a set of lessons on expressions, gradually increasing in difficulty and leading to problems involving weighted averages ("mixture problems") and motion.

Preface
A- A DESCRIPTIVE PREFATORY NOTE ON THE ASTOUNDING WONDERS OF ANCIENT INDIAN VEDIC MATHEMATICS
This Manual is the second of three (elementary, intermediate and advanced) Manuals which are designed for adults with a basic understanding of mathematics to learn or teach the Vedic system. So teachers could use it to learn Vedic Mathematics, though it is not suitable as a text for children (for that the Cosmic Calculator Course is recommended). Or it could be used to teach a course on Vedic Mathematics.
The sixteen lessons of this course are based on a series of one week summer courses given at Oxford University by the author to Swedish mathematics teachers between 1990 and 1995. Those courses were quite intensive consisting of eighteen, one and a half hour, lessons.
The lessons in this book however probably contain more material than could be given in a one and a half hour lesson. The teacher/reader may wish to omit some sections, go through the material in a different sequence to that shown here or break up some sections (e.g. recurring decimals).
All techniques are fully explained and proofs are given where appropriate, the relevant Sutras are indicated throughout (these are listed at the end of this Manual) and, for convenience, answers are given after each exercise. Cross-references are given showing what alternative topics may be continued with at certain points.
It should also be noted that the Vedic system encourages mental work so we always encourage students to work mentally as long as it is comfortable. In the Cosmic Calculator Course pupils are given a short mental test at the start of most or all lessons, which makes a good start to the lesson, revises previous work and introduces some of the ideas needed in the current lesson. In the Vedic system pupils are encouraged to be creative and use whatever method they like.
Some topics will be found to be missing in this text: for example, there is no section on area, only a brief mention. This is because the actual methods are the same as currently taught so that the only difference would be to give the relevant Sutra(s).
