Book Description: Most physical phenomena, whether in the domain of fluid dynamics, electricity, magnetism, mechanics, optics, or heat flow, can be described in general by partial differential equations. Indeed, such equations are crucial to mathematical physics. Although simplifications can be made that reduce these equations to ordinary differential equations, nevertheless the complete description of physical systems resides in the general area of partial differential equations.This highly useful text shows the reader how to formulate a partial differential equation from the physical problem (constructing the mathematical model) and how to solve the equation (along with initial and boundary conditions). Written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as professionals working in the applied sciences, this clearly written book offers realistic, practical coverage of diffusion-type problems, hyperbolic-type problems, elliptic-type problems, and numerical and approximate methods. Each chapter contains a selection of relevant problems (answers are provided) and suggestions for further

You are right about the TI-89, it actually has a software built-in. You might opt for TI-84. Also, there might be another constraint as the main purpose for your consideration, eg you might think what after the buy, it costs pretty high, if you can find some relatives to help you the cost then it'll be fine also for you, won't it ? I think its fine. But you need to clearify why your hesitation all up.Graphing Calculator: - TI84 vs Casio CFX9850GC+Sorry I didn't understand , easy to use due to familiarity most calcaultor are made easy for students to use if the calculators are for complex computation then choose the more functioality since the simple one would completely refuse under whatever circumstances also it takes TOO long for you to just look and hesitate, if you are not decisive, then ask someone in your class who has more experience to pick one for you.
The more familiar you are with a subject the easier it is for you to comprehend. As a Student Studying Engineering, we use math sort of like a carpenters uses his tool-box, its second-nature and very necessary. So with a firm foundation of Calculus, Integration, Derivation and basic Algebraic skills there is no reason why you shouldn't excel in this subject.

Generally, the tutorials listed in the table below focus on features of graphing devices, examples of how they can be used to solve problems, and appropriate use. They are far from comprehensive. Becoming proficient with graphing technology requires experience with problem-solving as well as technical issues. There are four main graphing tools (beside the human eye and hand) in use in the NRG math department: graphing calculators, Winplot, Mathematica, and ODE Architect. Winplot is a free program that you can download at (It's still less than 1MB.) The tutorial on Matrices uses another program, Winmat, which like Winplot is free and can be obtained at the same site. (Thanks, Richard.) Unfortunately, these programs are currently PC only.

Preface Preface MATLAB® is a very popular language for technical computing used by students, engineers, and scientists in universities, research institutes, and industries all over the world. The software is popular because it is powerful and easy to use. For university freshmen in it can be thought of as the next tool to use after the graphic calculator in high school. This book was written following several years of teaching the software to freshmen in an introductory engineering course. The objective was to write a book that teaches the software in a friendly, non-intimidating fashion. Therefore, the book is written in simple and direct language. In many places bullets, rather than lengthy text, are used to list facts and details that are related to a specific topic. The book includes numerous sample problems in mathematics, science, and engineering that are similar to problems encountered by new users of MATLAB. This fourth edition of the book is updated to MATLAB 7.11 (Release 2010b). Other modifications/changes to this edition are: programming (now Chapter 6) is introduced before user-defined functions (now Chapter 7), applications in numerical analysis (now Chapter 9) follows polynomials, curve fitting and interpolation that is covered in Chapter 8. The last two chapters are 3D plotting (now Chapter 10) and symbolic math (Chapter 11). In addition, the end of chapter problems have been revised. There are many more problems in every chapter, and close to 80% are new of different than in previous editions. In addition, the problems cover a wider range of topics. I would like to thank several of my colleagues at The Ohio State University. Professors Richard Freuler, Mark Walter, and Walter Lampert, and Dr. Mike Parke read sections of the book and suggested modifications. I also appreciate the involvement and support of Professors Robert Gustafson and John Demel and Dr. John Merrill from the First-Year Engineering Program at The Ohio State University. Special thanks go to Professor Mike Lichtensteiger (OSU), and my daughter Tal Gilat (Marquette University), who carefully reviewed the first edition of the book and provided valuable comments and criticisms. Professor Brian Harper (OSU) has made a significant contribution to the new end of chapter problems in the present edition. I would like to express my appreciation to all those who have reviewed the first edition of the text at its various stages of development, including Betty Barr, University of Houston; Andrei G. Chakhovskoi, University of California, Davis; Roger King, University of Toledo; Richard Kwor, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs; Larry Lagerstrom, University of California, Davis; Yueh-Jaw Lin, University of Akron; H. David Sheets, Canisius College; Geb Thomas, University of Iowa; Brian Vick, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University; Jay Weitzen, University of Massachusetts, Lowell; and Jane Patterson Fife, The Ohio State University. In addition, I would like to acknowledge Daniel Sayre, Ken Santor, and Katie Singleton, all from John Wiley & Sons, who supported the production of the Fourth edition. I hope that the book will be useful and will help the users of MATLAB to enjoy the software.

Introduction to the Finite Element Method: Theory, Programming and Applications 9780471267539 ISBN: 0471267538 Edition: 1 Pub Date: 2004 Publisher: Wiley Summary: The right balance of theory, programming, and applications Erik Thompson presents the theory, applications, and programming skills you'll need to understand the finite element method and use it to solve problems in engineering analysis and design. Offering concise, highly practical coverage, this introductory text presents complete finite element codes that can be run on the student version of MATLAB or easily conver...ted to other languages. Master the basic theory: The text promotes an understanding and appreciation of the theoretical basis of finite element approximations by building on concepts that are intuitive. Throughout, the text uses matrix notation to help you visualize the finite element matrices. Study problems reinforce basic theory. Experiment with the code: Numerical experiments show how to test programs for possible errors, experiment with boundary conditions, and study accuracy and stability. Code development exercises suggest ways to modify the codes to create additional capabilities. All codes are available on the book's web page along with sample data files for testing them. Each code can be immediately run using only the student version of MATLAB. Because each code is written using explicit programming, they also serve as pseudo-codes that can be used to develop programs in any computer language. Gain hands-on experience: Projects, representing a wide variety of engineering disciplines, enable you to conduct analyses of fairly complex problems. Many of these projects encourage you to investigate new techniques for using the finite element method. Erik G.

Abstract Powerful Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) are often used only with reluctance in early undergraduate mathematics teaching, partly because of concerns that they may not encourage students to understand what they are doing. In this exploratory study, a version of a CAS that has been designed for secondary school students was used, with a view to considering the value of this sort of student learning support for first year undergraduate students enrolled in degree programs other than mathematics. Workshops were designed to help students understand aspects of elementary symbolic manipulation, through the use of the Algebra mode of an algebraic calculator, the Casio Algebra FX 2.0. The Algebra mode of this calculator allows a user to undertake elementary algebraic manipulation, routinely providing all intermediate results, in contrast to more powerful CAS software, which usually provides simplified results only. The students were volunteers from an introductory level unit, designed to provide a bridge between school and university studies of mathematics and with a focus on algebra and calculus. The two structured workshop sessions focussed respectively on the solution of linear equations and on relationships between factorising and expanding; attention focussed on using the calculators as personal learning devices. Following the workshops, structured interviews were used to systematically record student reactions to the experience. As a result of the study, the paper offers advice on the merits of using algebraic calculators in this sort of way.

Monday, February 28 A seminar where you write your own textbook By Ayebea Darko '13 Math at Hamilton is not just about numbers. Yes, there is multiplication, and the department has in fact tripled its number of majors in the past 20 years, to about 50 today. But that expansion also led to the creation of a senior seminar program, in which Professor Richard Bedient and Associate Professor Sally Cockburn not only challenge students with interesting problems but also teach them to write about mathematics and to present their work orally. For 15 years, Bedient has taught a topology seminar in which students literally create their own course "textbook" by filling blank pages with proofs and theorems. Students are graded on their individual ability to tackle the problems and on the communal quality of the final text produced. Inspired by Bedient, Cockburn created a senior seminar that combines mathematics, philosophy and other perspectives. The students learn advanced set theory, also by writing their textbook, but the course becomes "more like a philosophy seminar" in which students sit "around a table often getting into very heated arguments," Cockburn says. "The students become the ones driving the class." Related Bedient believes that the senior seminar program hones students' abilities to argue and articulate more issues than mathematical proofs and discoveries. The seminars, typically small in size, create more discussion and greater involvement — and allow the group to bond. They're "an encouraging place for many students who think, 'I can't get up and talk about that,'" he says. Cockburn adds that the end result is a stronger set of writing and speaking skills, serving one of Hamilton's central missions: The seminars help students "precisely organize an argument when presenting assumptions and making conclusions."

Chapter 7. Vectors for Games and Simulations Chapter 7. Vectors for Games and Simulations Most programmers will agree that programming is a lot more fun than mathematics, but there are certain circumstances where a little bit of math knowledge can go a long way. As a "value added" math subject, vectors punch way above their weight in terms of useful functionality. Mix together a few other math ingredients, and you have a versatile vector toolkit that can be used for all sorts of applications. Don't worry if math isn't your strong point; the JavaScript equivalents of equations will always be provided. Although it can be a benefit if you understand the underlying mathematics, it is not crucial. Vectors are typically described as a quantity that has both a magnitude (length) and direction. Exactly what does this mean? Some simple examples illustrate the concept best.

Matrix Concepts -- Matrices on Calculators Summary: This module explains using and solving matrices on a calculator. Many modern graphing calculators have all the basic matrix operations built into them. The following is a brief overview of how to work with matrices on a TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-84, or TI-84 Plus. The calculator has room to store up to ten matrices at once. It refers to these matrices as [A], [B], and so on, through [J]. Note that these are not the same as the 26 lettered memories used for numbers. The following steps will walk you through the process of entering and manipulating matrices. Hit the MATRX button. On a TI-83, this is a standalone button; on a TI-83 Plus, you first hit 2nd and then MATRIX (above the x–1x–1 button). The resulting display is a list of all the available matrices. (You have to scroll down if you want to see the ones below [G].) Figure 1 Hit the right arrow key ► twice, to move the focus from NAMES to EDIT. This signals that you want to create, or change, a matrix. Figure 2 Hit the number 1 to indicate that you want to edit the first matrix, [A]. This fills in the matrix with those numbers (you can watch it fill as you go). If you make a mistake, you can use the arrow keys to move around in the matrix until the screen looks like the picture below. Figure 4 Hit 2nd Quit to return to the main screen. Return to the main matrix menu, as before. However, this time, do not hit the right arrow to go to the EDIT menu. Instead, from the NAMES menu, hit the number 1. This puts [A] on the main screen. Then hit ENTER to display matrix [A]. Figure 5 Go through the process (steps 1-7) again, with a few changes. This time, define matrix [B] instead of matrix [A]. (This will change step 3: once you are in the EDIT menu, you will hit a 2 instead of a 1.) Define [B] as a 3x2 matrix in step 4. Then, in step 5, enter the following numbers: When you are done, and have returned to the main screen and punched 2 in the NAMES menu (step 7), your main screen should look like this: Figure 6 Now, type the following keys, watching the calculator as you do so. TI-83 Plus users should always remember to hit 2nd MATRIX instead of just MATRX.MATRX 1 + MATRX 2 Figure 7 This instructs the computer to add the two matrices. Now hit ENTER Figure 8 Hey, what happened? You asked the computer to add two matrices. But these matrices have different dimensions. Remember that you can only add two matrices if they have the same dimensions—that is, the same number of rows as columns. So you got an "Error: Dimension Mismatch." Hit ENTER to get out of this error and return to the main screen

Jump To: About the study of abstraction Mathematics is the study of abstraction. Mathematicians search for similar patterns in seemingly different settings and then strive to communicate those patterns precisely. Mathematics is a creative process, not a mechanical one. For example, finding the circumference of a circle with the formula 2πr is simply calculation; the discovery of π was (ancient) mathematics. Likewise, the discovery of Calculus was a great feat of Mathematics, but applying Calculus to find the acceleration of an object is not. We teach those fundamental concepts in the context of relevant and engaging topics. At Denison, you will initially continue your high school Calculus education, but quickly be exposed to some of the more fascinating questions that really excite mathematicians. Our introductory calculus sequence exposes students to mathematics beyond calculus in the first year.

MATH 140 - Calculus with Analytic Geometry Welcome to Math 140! Our section homepage (this page) is available online at and will be updated regularly throughout the semester to provide exam room locations, review sheets and other important information. The course home page is given at , which links to the Course Syllabus, Homework exercises and Sample Exams. It is essential to read the important information given about Math 140 including details about the examinations, grading system and breakdown of each lecture. There will be homework assignments and quizzes for every section, the details will be announced in class so it is important to come to class everyday and to make sure you don't miss any assignments or in-class quiz. HOMEWORK The syllabus has a list of suggested exercises (homework problems) from each section which you must learn to solve by yourself. It is not a secret that the best way to learn calculus is to DO LOTS OF PROBLEMS- IF YOU DON"T DO YOUR HOMEWORK EVERYDAY THEN YOU WILL FAIL THIS COURSE!! I will go over as many examples in class as time permits and will answer any questions you have. But you have to try to do the problems by yourself everyday. PLEASE WRITE YOUR ANSWERS CLEARLY AND LEGIBLY AND START EACH SECTION ON A NEW PAGE. STAPLE ALL YOUR PAGES TOGETHER AND WRITE YOUR NAME CLEARLY ON THE FIRST PAGE. The two main reasons for not doing well in a Calculus course are poor ALGEBRA/TRIG skills and INSUFFICIENT STUDY TIME. It is like learning how to play the piano or tennis - you cannot hope to become a pianist or a tennis player by just watching someone else or by practicing only once or twice a week. You must work for at least a couple hours everyday solving different types of problems in order to master the various concepts. It may not make complete sense in the beginning but the picture becomes clear after some time and everything fits together nicely, so you must keep trying. Don't give up easily since you don't want to retake this course. Please feel free to come and see me to get some assistance on the homework exercises and to clear any doubts that you might have. I'd be glad to help. You will not be allowed any calculators or formula sheets in any of the quizzes or exams so make sure you're ready for anything!! MAKEUP EXAMINATIONS: If you have a conflict with either of the midterm examinations, please contact your instructor to make arrangements for a makeup examination. Only students with official University conflicts, or a valid, documented excuse, such as illness, will be permitted to schedule a makeup examination. Personal business such as travel, employment, weddings, graduations, or attendance at public events such as concerts, sporting events, etc. are not valid excuses. Students are responsible for requesting permission from the instructor AT LEAST THREE DAYS before the regularly scheduled examination for conflicts and on exam day in case of illness.

This book is much better than the last book i purchased it has more detail to the things i need to refresh to pass my course. I recomended this book to anyone having problems in freshmen college math.Thanks Amazon! For those of us who had done the basic math as kids in the 1940s and 50s, this book was Greek. However, with a great teacher to cut through the excess verbage and some wrong answers, one did learn to use the new rules of progression. I learned "Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally" to know what order to solve the problems. After that it was easy. This textbook is supposed to come with a Student Access Code, but if you buy it used or rent it, chances are you won't get a usable code. The book is not even needed (says my professor) if you have the access code, as all the info is taught by Elaiyne Martin-Gay herself online! Just know what your buying is all I'm saying!
... More with my classes: It has since disappeared, however, so the specific modifications I made at the time are fuzzy at best, but I have made recent adjustments to every portion. Introduction: Algebra, what does it mean? Where did it come from? Who thought up this stuff? Have you ever wondered what the word algebra means or when and where algebra was developed or who developed algebraic concepts? In this project your group will go on a journey through time and the history of mathematics to discover the answers to these questions. Task: Each group will go on a quest to find the mathematicians' histories that have named as being the fathers or founders of algebra. On this journey your group will collect information about the mathematician responsible for developing the algebraic concept assigned to your group, create a timeline to show when the concept was developed in relation to other significant events in history, and find examples of the algebraic concept. Each group will prepare a Powerpoint to present the information to the class. Group I The Father of Algebra (Algebraic thought and equations) Group II Founder of Cartesian Plane and Graphing Equations Group III Developer of Polynomials Group IV Set Notation and Venn Diagrams Designer Each group will need a Researcher, Recorder, Mathematician, and a Reporter.

Possibly the most comprehensive overview of computer graphics as seen in the context of geometric modelling, this two volume work covers implementation and theory in a thorough and systematic fashion. Computer Graphics and Geometric Modelling: Mathematics, contains the mathematical background needed for the geometric modeling topics in computer graphics covered in the first volume. This volume begins with material from linear algebra and a discussion of the transformations in affine & projective geometry, followed by topics from advanced calculus & chapters on general topology, combinatorial topology, algebraic topology, differential topology, differential geometry, and finally algebraic geometry. Two important goals throughout were to explain the material thoroughly, and to make it self-contained. This volume by itself would make a good mathematics reference book, in particular for practitioners in the field of geometric modelling. Due to its broad coverage and emphasis on explanation it could be used as a text for introductory mathematics courses on some of the covered topics, such as topology (general, combinatorial, algebraic, and differential) and geometry (differential & algebraic).

Norcross, GA Calculus two major branches, differential calculus and integral calculus, which are related by the fundamental theorem of calculus. Calculus is the study of change,[1] in the same way that geometry is the study of shape and algebra is the study of operations and their application to solving equati ...Getting a solid grounding in core concepts is the key to turning Algebra 2 from a scary snake into an inoffensive (but very useful) worm. Calculus is where math really brings years of preparation into fine focus and offers powerful ways of resolving extremely complex problems - easily and quickly. Many students are unecessarily scared of calculus. As an Engineer I realize that math is easier to understand if taught with real world applications. As an electronics instructor and math tutor, I?ve had success in teaching math using that method. Students sometimes need to review previous learned math in order to understand new math concepts.
More About This Textbook Overview Introductory Complex Analysis is a scaled-down version of A. I. Markushevich's masterly three-volume "Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable." Dr. Richard Silverman, the editor and translator of the original, has prepared this shorter version expressly to meet the needs of a one-year graduate or undergraduate course in complex analysis. In his selection and adaptation of the more elementary topics from the original larger work, he was guided by a brief course prepared by Markushevich himself. The book begins with fundamentals, with a definition of complex numbers, their geometric representation, their algebra, powers and roots of complex numbers, set theory as applied to complex analysis, and complex functions and sequences. The notions of proper and improper complex numbers and of infinity are fully and clearly explained, as is stereographic projection. Individual chapters then cover limits and continuity, differentiation of analytic functions, polynomials and rational functions, Mobius transformations with their circle-preserving property, exponentials and logarithms, complex integrals and the Cauchy theorem , complex series and uniform convergence, power series, Laurent series and singular points, the residue theorem and its implications, harmonic functions (a subject too often slighted in first courses in complex analysis), partial fraction expansions, conformal mapping, and analytic continuation. Elementary functions are given a more detailed treatment than is usual for a book at this level. Also, there is an extended discussion of the Schwarz-Christolfel transformation, which is particularly important for applications. There is a great abundance of worked-out examples, and over three hundred problems (some with hints and answers), making this an excellent textbook for classroom use as well as for independent study. A noteworthy feature is the fact that the parentage of this volume makes it possible for the student to pursue various advanced topics in more detail in the three-volume original, without the problem of having to adjust to a new terminology and notation . In this way, IntroductoryComplex Analysis serves as an introduction not only to the whole field of complex analysis, but also to the magnum opus of an important contemporary Russian mathematician

Hi, I am a freshman in high school and I am having trouble with my homework. One of my problems is dealing with example of math investigatory project; can anyone help me understand what it is all about? I need to complete this asap. Thanks for helping. Well I do have a suggestion for you.Sometime back even I was stuck on questions relating to example of math investigatory project, that's when my elder sister suggested that I should try Algebrator. It didn't just solve all my queries, but it also explained those solutions in a very nice step-by-step manner. It's hard to believe but one night I was actually crying because I would miss yet another assignment deadline, and a couple of days from that I was actually helping my friends with their homework as well. I know how strange it might sound, but really Algebrator helped me a lot. Algebrator is the perfect algebra tool to help you with assignments. It covers everything you need to be familiar with in syntehtic division in an easy and comprehensive manner. algebra had never been easy for me to grasp but this product made it very easy to comprehend. The logical and step-by–step approach to problem solving is really a plus and soon you will find that you love solving problems. Algebrator is the program that I have used through several algebra classes - Basic Math, Basic Math and Intermediate algebra. It is a truly a great piece of math software. I remember of going through problems with difference of squares, least common denominator and percentages. I would simply type in a problem from the workbook, click on Solve – and step by step solution to my algebra homework. I highly recommend the program.

The last several years have witnessed a revolution in the connections between mathematics and biology, and this book differs from most others on the topic in that it covers both deterministic and probabilistic models. The first chapter is a long introduction and review of ideas about biological modeling, calculus, differential equations, dimensionless variables, and descriptive statistics. The next three chapters examine standard discrete and continuous models using difference and differential equations, and matrix algebra (there is a long appendix in Chapter 3 on matrices). The final three chapters cover probability, statistics, and stochastic processes, including bootstrap methods and stochastic differential equations. The book focuses mostly in one area of the life sciences, namely, theoretical ecology. Ecology has become extremely quantitative, and the mathematical techniques used in ecology are applicable to most other areas in the life sciences. Ecology provides an especially accessible context for study by mathematics majors. Moreover, the authors chose ecology for the book's motivations and examples in light of their own interests and research in the area. Additional topical coverage includes an introduction to ecological modeling, population dynamics for single species, structure and interacting populations, interactions in continuous time, concepts of probability, statistical inference, and stochastic processes.
Category Archives: Assessment My fellow teachers of College Algebra. I want to talk to you today about domain and range. For now, let's leave aside all the analogies, vending machines, notation and ants crawling on graphs. Let's get to the heart of the matter with an assessment/instructional task. This is in the spirit of Eric Mazur, but it is low-technology. It will take 10 minutes. Then you'll need to report your results back to me. We can talk about what those results mean. Here is what you do. Get yourself a College Algebra class that has studying (or even one that is still studying) domain and range. Then get yourself some index cards in two colors. We used yellow and pink. You may use whatever you have on hand. Make clear that yellow means yes, and that pink means no. Also make clear that they will raise their cards in unison and on the count of 3. This is to prevent conforming to the majority and will result in more honest representations of your students' understanding. Practice this routine on some non-mathematical questions. Some that will be universal nos, some universal yeses, some that are mixed. Now have your students consider the function , where x is interpreted as the input, and y as the output in the usual way. You are going to ask a series of questions about the range of this function. Ask,Is 4 in the range of this function? You should get near universal yellow. Ask someone to state the case and make a note of their argument on the board. Ask,Is –2 in the range of this function? My bet is that you'll have a lot of pinks, but several yellows. Those yellows probably need clarification that we are asking about range, not domain. But don't assume it. Ask the pinks to state their case. Ask the yellows to refute or question. Never say anything a [student] can say. Likely, the yellows will argue that there is no number that, when squared, gives -2. They mean real number; I see no need to make a big deal out of this. But make a note of the argument. Perhaps writing something like this on the board: nothing You will probably need to revisit this later on. Ask,Is in the range of this function? This is probably all yellow and mostly unproblematic. Now the fun begins. Ask,Is π in the range of this function? If you don't get a good mix of yellow and pink here, I will eat my hat. And those pink people? They are going to tell you that there is nothing that—when squared—gives π. Have them talk it out in pairs or threes. Then have them show cards again. And then have the pinks state their case. Nine times out of ten, it's going to be that there is no number that can be squared to get π. My fellow College Algebra teachers, I am not interested in your theoretical arguments about what a fabulous job you/your textbook/your online homework platform are doing at teaching domain and range. If you wish to claim that your students will not show pink for π here, the burden of proof on you is high. Notice with your students the very important difference between: nothing and nothing I can think of Someone will point out that is a number, and that when you square it you get π. Highlight that contribution and estimate the value of this number. Ask,Is 0 in the range of this function? Probably mostly yellow, but worth asking to make sure. Ask,Is infinity in the range of this function? Seriously. If you don't get, like, 80% yellow here then I do not understand your school's placement system Reinforce that infinity is not a number. Connect it to the notation and wrap up with one more. Ask, Is 12 in the range of this function? You should get nearly all yellow here. Get back to your regularly scheduled classroom activities. Then report and discuss your results with colleagues, on Twitter, on your blog and here. Update There is lots of unexpected pushback in the comments on the value of teaching domain, range and functions in a College Algebra course. I had previously thought these to be de rigueur topics in such a course. I suspect sampling bias here. Gregory Taylor mostly reproduced my results in his own course and had some lovely mathematical conversations along the way. You should go read his account. One of my favorite parts of my hard copy of the Sunday New York Times each week is the Business section. Ordinarily this has nothing to do with my job. It's just a brief trip into a fantasy world in which I earn real money; a chance to bump elbows with people who do. But this week there were three articles about badges. Exhibit A: Natasha Singer's "Slipstream" column. This covers the online trend of virtual rewards, referred to as gamification and reminds us that there may be danger in allowing ourselves to be manipulated. There is discussion of the Twitter badge on Samsung's site, a company called Badgeville that designs game-based sites, and the difference between virtual rewards (badges) and real ones (free airplane trips). Exhibit B: Randall Stross's "Digital Domain" column. This covers a medical social networking site that allows patients to ask question and doctors to post and discuss answers to those questions. There are the Paramedic Award, the Good Samaritan Award, the Louis Pasteur Award and many others. [Grant] says that paying children to elicit certain behavior may have destructive consequences in developing character, potentially nurturing self-interest at the expense of kinder motives. "Where students work in an environment that values only extrinsic rewards for learning," she writes, "cheating goes up." Right. When the rewards are extrinsic (can you say "badges" or "test scores"?), those who buy in become motivated for the reward. I don't work for badges. Or grades. Or external evaluations of any kind, really. Of course this meant a lot of B's and C's in high school and much teacher and parental hand-wringing about "underachievement". And it meant quitting the Boy Scouts after my first year because I was uninterested in earning literal badges. Now I'm supposed to be interested in your virtual badges? Please. So teachers, let's be careful about this stuff. Best case scenario in the long term seems to be annoying kids with this stuff. Worst case scenario reduces their interest in what we're trying to motivate them to do. So you're a teacher. You've read here and there on the web and you've decided it's time to go standards-based w/r/t your grading. You're thinking a 0-4 rubric is the way to go. You've given names to your categories. Maybe you think of it this way: 4 Accomplished 3 Proficient 2 Beginning 1 Struggling 0 Missing Or some such. In any case, you're likely thinking of both 3 and 4 as pretty good. You'd be happy if all of your students were at the 3 or 4 level on a regular basis. But 2 isn't a train wreck; kids scoring at the 2 level are making progress, but not the kind of progress you hope for. Your students scoring at the 1 level are in trouble, but not your 2′s. This is all going well in your classroom. The holistic scoring is focusing your assessment efforts like never before. You're able to have more meaningful conversations with students and their parents about student progress. You no longer debate missed minus signs and whether they are worth deducting half a point or a whole point. Grade-grubbing is a thing of the past in your classroom. Etc. And now it's time to figure grades. If you're like most of us the first time around, here's what you do… 4 is 4/4 or 100% 3 is 3/4 or 75% 2 is 2/4 or 50% 1 is 1/4 or 25% 0 is 0% And now your proficient kids are getting C's and your beginners are failing. What do you do about this? You could readjust your grading scale. But really? You're gonna tell parents that 50% is passing in your class? That's not gonna fly in most circumstances. No, you need to change your thinking about that rubric. That 0-4 grading scale? It's not made up of numbers, my friend. It's made up of categories. Useful categories. But not numerical ones. They might just as well be: Unicorn Accomplished Pegasus Proficient Thoroughbred Beginning Pony Struggling Quarterhorse Missing With that perspective, let's go back and make those fractions again… Unicorn is Unicorn/Unicorn or 100% (I suppose) Pegasus is Pegasus/Unicorn What percent is that? Etc. You get the point. You've got to readjust your thinking. Those aren't numbers, so you cannot treat them as though they were. Here's a simple way out of this pickle: 4 means accomplished. I would like to assign this score the grade of A. So each score of 4 will be worth 100% of the points available. 3 means proficient. I would like to assign this score the grade of B. So each score of 3 will be worth 85% of the points available. 2 means beginning. I would like to assign this score the grade of C. So each score of 2 will be worth 75% of the points available. 1 means struggling. I would like to assign this score the grade of D. So each score of 1 will be worth 65% of the points available. 0 means missing. I will assign 0% of the available points to this score. Adjust to fit (1) whatever the operative percentage scale is in your school culture, and (2) whatever correspondence you would like to create between the score and the grade. Same philosophy for 0-5 rubrics, etc. The point is that we need to be explicit with our students and with ourselves about the meaning we intend to assign each category in our rubric, and about the meaning we intend to communicate through our grades. My analogy is that I'm throwing darts at a target trying to hit it but I have no idea where the target is. Because unless you help the student to figure out how to make their thinking visible to you, you just keep giving reading lessons aimlessly throwing these darts out hoping you meet the target. So this research is an attempt to figure out where the target is.

What are the objectives of EPGY courses? The goal of EPGY courses is to present gifted students with the opportunity to take courses suitable to their ability. Because EPGY courses are computer-based, students can take advanced courses regardless of where they live, and without leaving their normal school environment. Within the context of this goal, EPGY courses strive to deepen and improve the nature of computer-based distance learning instruction. We revise our courses regularly based on the data we collect on student performance. We also evaluate new technologies as they become available and incorporate them into our courses when we feel it is appropriate to do so. In this way we continue to improve upon the quality of the educational experience we provide. Top How do the courses work? Because there is some variation in the instructional models used in the K-7, Secondary and University-Level Mathematics, Writing, and Physics courses, we devote separate sections to each: The K-7 Accelerated Mathematics Courses The K-7 course software, Arithmetic and Geometry, is based on a series of textbooks written by Patrick Suppes. The Arithmetic and Geometry program has been designed to be very sensitive to differences among students and to tailor the exercises to focus on each student's weak points. The program divides mathematics into different strands, or topic areas, and monitors each student's progression in each of these areas separately. As students work problems online, the computer keeps track of the student's strengths and weaknesses in each of the strands, and requires students to do more work in their weakest areas. Each time a new concept is presented to a student, a brief lecture using sound and graphics is presented which explains the concept. The lectures are often followed by example problems that show the student how to approach a particular question. In addition to the required exercises on the computer, students may be assigned review exercises. Homework - In grades 3 - 7, students are often given the opportunity to request supplemental worksheets or homework. This homework consists of exercises from the different strands/concept areas that they covered in the last sessions of work. Homework is not a requirement for the K-7 course, but rather an option. While instructors will answer questions from students about their homework, they do not grade the homework nor do they expect it to be mailed in. Working through the Course Sequence - After a student completes each K-7 course, i.e., K-2, 3-4, 5-6, or 7, he or she may register for the next course in the sequence by contacting the course administrator. The M00D course is equivalent to Honors Pre-Algebra. Generally, students complete a new registration form, and pay a registration fee for each subsequent course. Top The Secondary & Advanced Mathematics Courses As with the primary school courses, these courses have both on-line and off-line components. The on-line component consists of three main parts, the most fundamental of which is the lecture. Lectures are presented using digitized sound and graphics, which resemble what a teacher would write on a chalkboard while lecturing. This lecture environment gives the students a feeling similar to that of a real classroom, and emphasizes the informal nature of spoken mathematics. The lectures are followed by on-line exercises which vary according to the course. These may be quizzes in which the student answers questions about the lecture or interactive expositions in which a student is led through detailed arguments step by step. The third component is derivations, in which the student is asked to prove mathematical facts using a symbolic computation environment. Homework - In addition to the lessons on the computer, each secondary and advanced course has regular offline homework from a textbook and off-line chapter tests. This offline work is an important part of the course and should be taken seriously. Students should expect to spend as much as 45 minutes on homework for each lesson completed on-line. Homework consists of reading the appropriate section in the textbook and doing the assigned problems. Students may read the textbook sections before or after listening to the lectures on the computer. All the homework problems should be written up on paper just like one would write up homework for any other class. Most of the courses have homework-checking lessons in addition to the normal lessons. A homework checking lesson is a lesson that consists of a series of questions about a particular homework. These lessons ask students to type in their answers to a particular question and then report whether or not the answer is correct. Tests - Along with the homework assignment sheet and schedule, students will also receive a complete packet of chapter tests, which should be taken after completing all the work from the corresponding chapter in the textbook. Tests are important as they are the main way for instructors to evaluate student progress. We require students to be prompt in taking tests and submitting them, and we request full assistance from parents in seeing that this is done. Top University-Level Math and Physics University-level courses have several components, the most fundamental of which is the lectures. Lectures are presented using digitized sound and graphics, resembling a multimedia-enhanced version of what a teacher might write on a chalkboard. The lectures capture the informal nature of classroom instruction, while preserving a level of rigor appropriate to the subject matter. The lectures are usually followed by online exercises which vary according to the course. The final component is offline problem sets, which are designed to be comparable in difficulty to the problem sets given in traditional courses at Stanford. Students should expect to spend 5-10 hours per week working on these problems. Problem sets play a more important role in the university-level courses than they do at the secondary or AP-level. As the subject matter becomes more abstract, computerized assessment of a student's understanding becomes more difficult. At the same time, the types of problems given in a course become more complicated. Some courses require students to submit their problem sets so that instructors can more closely evaluate students' work and monitor their progress. All courses have exams, consisting mostly of offline work submitted to the tutor for detailed review and assessment. Top Writing Courses The 4-6 grade writing courses (W09ABC) include weekly interaction via computer among students and instructor using the virtual classroom. In small groups, students log on to a world-wide-web site where each participant can see and interact with the same screen display and hear and speak with the other participants. Many of these courses also include CD-ROM lessons on topics such as essay coherence, paragraph development, and grammar. (For courses that do not yet include a CD-ROM component, such topics are handled exclusively in the virtual classroom.) Students complete reading assignments and weekly writing assignments, concentrating on developing ideas for essays, implementing those ideas as drafts, and revising drafts according to comments they receive from their teachers in conferences or via email. The secondary-level writing courses (W10ABC, W11ABC) are also conducted in the interactive virtual classroom, where students and teachers meet weekly in small groups, speaking and listening to each other, and working interactively with the same screen display. The syllabi are organized around weekly writing assignments that students submit to teachers via email, and which they receive back with comments in the same way. Weekly CD-ROM lessons cover standard topics in expository writing: for example, prewriting activities, thesis development, essay coherence, paragraph organization and development, revision strategies, and sentence style. The EPGY courses also include weekly readings from course readers and from standard published textbooks and weekly writing assignments. We encourage students to make full use of the tutorial resources available to them, and to ask questions both by email and by phone between live tutorial sessions.Top When do the courses begin? Please see the registration deadline page in the 'Apply and Register' section of the website. It lists start date information and registration deadlines. How do I decide what course to begin with? Usually, the question of initial placement in most courses is up to the students and parents. However, we have produced some placement tests and charts to aid students and parents in making an initial placement decision. Placement in most writing courses are determined by us, based on age. If you need assistance in choosing a course, please contact us; we also have a complete listing of course prerequisites. Top Generally, we recommend that students begin at their current grade level, unless they have demonstrated that their mathematical knowledge is well advanced. We do not yet have a placement exam for these courses; students should consult the Elementary-level Mathematics pages to find a detailed list of topics covered in each grade level in the K-7 series. Although the courses begin at the start of every odd-numbered grade level (1, 3, 5, and 7), it is not necessary that a student begin at that level when starting the program. For example, a fourth grader may begin the 3-4 mathematics course at grade level 4.0 in all strands. Once the student begins the course, consult with the tutor to make a more fine-grained placement decision if the material turns out to be either too easy or too hard. The grade 7 course is an Honors Pre-Algebra level course. Top Students who are currently in a first-year algebra course or equivalent should take M011, Honors Beginning Algebra. Students who have had a year of algebra should take M012, Honors Intermediate Algebra. Students who have completed intermediate algebra can then take M015, Honors Geometry. Students who are ready for trigonometry and precalculus should take M013, Honors Precalculus. If it is still unclear which course in this sequence a student should start with, we do offer a placement exam for these courses. Top Students who are prepared to take a first-year calculus course should take Calculus A. Students who have had a semester-long course in calculus in which they have covered the basic concepts of limits and derivatives may begin with Calculus B. Students who have been prepared for the AB Calculus AP exam or equivalent should begin with Calculus C. Contact us if you have any questions regarding placement into these courses. Top Students who have completed Calculus C or the equivalent should enroll in Multivariable Differential Calculus (M52A), followed by Multivariable Integral Calculus (M52B). Linear Algebra (M51A) should be taken after, or concurrently with, M52B. (Note: M52A, or an equivalent course in Multivariable Calculus course, is a prerequisite for M51A.) Following multivariable calculus and linear algebra, there are several choices: if a student is interested in subject matter having broad applications and extending what's learned in calculus, then the student should consider Differential Equations (M53A); for those who enjoy the algebraic aspect of Linear Algebra and want to study mathematics of a similar but more general flavor, also with many applications, Modern Algebra (M109) may be most appropriate; if a student wants to continue the study of calculus but from a more sophisticated, formal, and rigorous perspective, then we recommend Real Analysis (M115); finally, if one is interested in complex or imaginary numbers and how to do calculus for complex-valued functions, then Complex Analysis (M106) is the natural choice -- although Real Analysis should be taken before Complex Analysis. M52A, M52B, M51A, M53A, M115, M106, and M109 should be considered "core" courses fundamental to the undergraduate mathematics major, and many are required for majors in physics, engineering, economics, chemistry, and other "hard" sciences. We also offer mathematics courses in Partial Differential Equations (M131), to be taken anytime after Differential Equations and Complex Analysis; Elementary Theory of Numbers (M152), requiring only precalculus and a familiarity with constructing mathematical proofs; and Introduction to Logic (M157), which requires only a background in algebra. The Course Catalog gives more detailed information about course content and prerequisites. You should contact us if you have any questions regarding placement into these courses.Top Physics Courses Mechanics has prior or concurrent enrollment in Calculus A or equivalent as a prerequisite. Electricity and Magnetism has prior enrollment in Mechanics or equivalent as well as prior or concurrent enrollment in Calculus B or equivalent as a prerequisite. Light and Heat has Electricity and Magnetism as a prerequisite, and Modern Physics has Light and Heat as a prerequisite. Top Expository Writing Courses All students requesting admission into the writing courses are required to place in the top 15% of a standardized test. Top Are there instructors? In addition to the instruction they receive on-line from the computer, students can ask questions of instructors at Stanford by electronic mail, phone, or in "virtual classroom" sessions. This contact between students and instructors is an important part of the EPGY course experience. To facilitate this type of interaction, the instructors keep detailed records on each student. Towards this end students are required in most courses to file weekly electronic reports in which they transfer a complete record of their recent work to computers at Stanford. In this way students get rapid feedback on their work, while the instructors are able to maintain detailed records on the work of each student. These records enable the instructors to closely monitor student progress and help to isolate particular student difficulties which can be addressed in a later tutorial session. Top How do EPGY courses relate to other courses? A frequently asked question is whether students should remain in their math classes at school while participating in our program. Generally, the assumption underlying participation in EPGY courses is that school courses are not sufficiently challenging and that the student would prefer to move at a faster rate. However, the answer to this question depends on the student, the school, and whether he or she is receiving proper instruction from the math class at school. In order to first ensure that the content and presentation of the EPGY courses is suitable for a particular student, it is recommended that the student remain in his or her school math class for the first quarter of their participation. Furthermore, students should pull out of their normal mathematics courses only for those parts of those courses which are truly redundant, if possible. After they have completed several EPGY courses, students will probably gain very little from the standard mathematics classes at their grade level in school. The EPGY courses are designed to be complete courses, covering all the material presented in standard high school and college courses, so once a student has successfully completed a given EPGY course, they do not need to repeat this course at school. We are happy to explain and discuss this with school officials should the need arise. Once a student no longer takes math classes at school, we request that arrangements be made with the school to have a daily study period that can be used for doing homework associated with our courses. This sort of arrangement has proved useful in two ways. First, it gives students extra time to work on the course and helps to spread the work out during the day. Second, it shows the school that the student is working hard on serious material. While students are not required to make this arrangement, we do strongly recommend it. Top How much time does it require? Students should expect to spend 5 to 10 hours per week working on the course material, depending on their grade level. The 5 to 10 hours corresponds to the amount of work expected in a standard class that meets 5 days a week for an hour with 45 minutes of homework per night. (Of course this will be less for younger students.) Students are expected to move rapidly through the primary and secondary school curriculum. Students in EPGY courses are required to complete a certain minimum amount of work each week. If they need to take time off for vacation, illness, or other extenuating circumstance, this can be arranged with the student's instructor or the course administrator. Top What is the role of the parent? For students' participation in EPGY courses to be successful, parents need to take on several responsibilities. The most important is to make sure that the students are in constant contact with us electronically. The programs have been designed to let us keep an eye on each student's progress. In order for this to work, the students need to be comfortable using these facilities. It is up to parents to make sure that they are. If they are not, please contact us for help. In addition to making sure that the students are in regular electronic communication with us, parents also need to be sure that the students keep up with their schedules and, for students in the secondary courses, that they take their exams when they are supposed to. Each student is given an exam packet which contains tests for each of the chapters in the book, a schedule telling them the minimum acceptable rate of progress, and an assignment sheet telling them which problems to do out of the book after they finish a given lesson on the computer. Students should expect to spend approximately one hour per day running lessons on the computer and another 30-45 minutes per night doing homework. Parents should make sure that the students are doing their work at regular intervals and not working sporadically. Parents should also administer the tests at the appropriate times. It is up to the parents to make sure their students are doing this work and staying in touch with us. If after repeated attempts to contact a student, we feel that a student has lost touch with us, we will drop him or her from the course. Parental Involvement in the K-7 Courses In addition to the above duties, parents of K-7 students are encouraged to participate in the K-7 course as much as they like. It is important that students thoroughly understand the concepts that they learn from the Arithmetic and Geometry course. Student questions may be answered by parents whenever they arise and/or parents should encourage students to call their tutor or to write questions and comments to be read and answered through the electronic mail as often as necessary. Top What sorts of credits can I get for EPGY courses? Students successfully completing eligible EPGY online courses at the university-level may receive transcripts from the Stanford University Continuing Studies Program. These transcripts, which bear the seal of the Stanford University Registrar, show the EPGY courses that a student has completed, together with the grades obtained. Students who wish to transfer this credit to their school may do so. Decisions concerning whether or not the credit is accepted by the institution to which it is transferred are up to the receiving institution. Students who complete courses at the Advanced Placement level are encouraged to take the corresponding Advanced Placement Examinations. For registrations with start-date after October 1st, 2012, a completion certificate rather than a university transcript will be given for the following courses: M0WA, M0WB, M0WC, M0WD, M011, M012, M013, M015, M040, M041, M042, C11A, C11B, C11C, C015, P10A-C, P051, P053, LA&W (Language Arts and Writing), EG20, W09A-C, W10A-C, W11A-C, W041, WLI1, WLI2. For registrations with start-date on or before October 1st, 2012, transcripts and credit for the above courses will be issued only if the student completes the course no later than May 30th, 2013. Note that courses offered through the Stanford University Online High School, as well as university-level courses in Mathematics and Physics, will continue to be eligible for transcripts and credit as usual. What are the tuition fees for courses? Tuition costs vary by course and if a course has a one-time fee or is billed quarterly. For more information on tuition, please visit our Admission - tuition section. What is the history of EPGY courses? EPGY courses began in 1985 at the Institute for Mathematical Studies in the Social Sciences, under the direction of Professor Patrick Suppes and funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, as a project to develop a complete first year calculus course that would be entirely machine-based. This project grew out of 15 years of teaching university level courses in logic and set theory at Stanford. The motivation for doing a calculus course was the fact that fewer than 25% of the high schools in the country currently offer calculus. Computers were seen as a way to make calculus available at schools that had no other way to offer it. In 1990-91, we decided to turn our attention to middle schools because they provided situations where there might be a few students capable of taking the course, but no one available to teach it. We selected a group of 30 interested students in the area, in grades 7-10 to attend a special summer course at Foothill Community College to prepare them to take the calculus. Out of these 30 students we selected 13 from seven schools to participate in the first test. All of these students took the AB Calculus Advanced Placement exam in May of 1991. Following this success we extended the calculus course to cover the entire BC curriculum, the equivalent of a full year of college calculus. We also developed courses designed to take students from Beginning Algebra through Pre-calculus. During the summer of 1992 we moved the program from expensive workstations to personal computers, making it possible for students to have machines at home on which to run the course. It also meant that the number of students who could participate in the project was no longer limited by our computing resources. Top
Math Study Google Search Study And Learn Studying es a personal process, at least when we talk about the act of sitting in fron of a book and study. It can not be said that there is an only way to do it, or even a good way, but we can focus in the fact that certain basis are common conditions of studying, and there for they are going to repeat from person to person. Every student will choose the place that make him more confortable, there are no obligations there, some may prefer silence, other backround music or even tv, the fact is that importance is elsewhere, distractions are our enemies, so we should avoid them. We can study alone or in groups, as long as everyone is focused in the task at hand. Picking the exact place isn't easy, It shouldn't be where you usually sleep, it has to have sufficient light, be far from outer noises, your chair must be confortable and you have to be prepared for it. There is no point on forcing yourself into something you don't want at that time, do it when you feel like to, consider it as an exercise, you need practise to be good at it. Now the problem is to do it, and the question is How? Well some recomendations are: Begin with a general reading of the chapter, try to make an idea of what the autor is trying to say, see if you need to know other things, write down the words which meaning you don't know (have a dictionary near you) read all the chapter to the end, even if it is not required, usually you would need to read the whole book in order to get a good idea of what it's all about, but It's understandable that it's not always possible and in fact some times it's impractical. Ask yourself if you really understood what you readed, remember that you are not competing against time, there is no use in being quick if you are not effective, read again until you fully understand everything, if some other reading is necesary do it. Now read again, this time concentrate in details, try to extract ideas, you should have a pen and a notebook near youself, and take notes, you can even underline important concepts, try to summarise the text. Read now your summary, add to it every detail that you may loose in the process that is important. Make questions to yourself, same as your teacher would ask, think about what a reader should know about the text, read again what it's not fully clear, thinl how would you explain the text to a person that didn't read it, imagine his questions and answer them. A person study as a self improvement act, not to please others, if you think you are studying for your teacher, remember that your goal is to pass the subject in order to obtain a degree, that's your true goal.
But when abstract concepts are introduced, students often hit a brick wall. Instructors seem to agree that certain concepts (such as linear independence, spanning, subspace, vector space, and linear transformations), are not easily understood, and require time to assimilate. Since they are fundamental to the study of linear algebra, students' understanding of these concepts is vital to their mastery of the subject. Lay introduces these concepts early in a familiar, concrete Rn setting, develops them gradually, and returns to them again and again throughout the text so that when discussed in the abstract, these concepts are more accessible..

HI, I've been trying to work my way thru the SICP book, I found myself cribbing some of the online answers but getting the overall ideas of recursive vs. iterative procedures, etc. But I'm getting to the orders of growth section, and the math is really over my head. To give an idea of my math skills, this morning I spent an hour learning how to add and subtract fractions with exponents.... Anyway, my math chops have to come way up, and I will work on that. But is there a short list of concepts to be familiar with before tackling SICP? I WILL tackle that damn book if it kills me...I think it's awesome, but I want to approach it in the best way possible. Right now I'm thinking my time might be best used tackling some fundamental algorithms while I'm getting my math chops together. Ideally, you should have some calculus skills to go through SICP. Being able to integrate and differentiate functions would be the highest-level math that I've come across so far. (I'm currently working my way through it myself) So, at MIT, people would take the SICP class in first year after tackling calculus for a semester. The first time I went through the book, the math was way over my head. As I trudged through my university calculus class, a lot of the first chapter made more sense. You're probably going to be more comfortable going through the book with at least a first year calculus course under your belt. That being said, I started the book before returning to university for a CS degree. At first, I wasn't able to grok all the math examples, but I still understood what was being conveyed. Revisiting the chapters after learning calculus merely enriched the experience. It wasn't a requirement. I'm only about half way through the book, but from what I see, it's only the first few chapters of the book the require any kind of math skill. Hard work and skipping over select questions will get you over those humps. I hope you do decide to go through the book. It's quite an enlightening experience.
