MODERATORS
I'm currently an engineering student but I'm interested in learning some of the basics for breaking into the more theoretical parts of mathematics but I have no idea where to start. So any books/websites/other resources that might be of use to help me get started in this area would be much appreciated.

Students explore and examine the continuity of three functions: horizontal zooming, polynomial function, and oscillating functions. They practice graphing functions, generating tables and navigating the zoom, vars and test menus on their graphing hand held calculators.
For this multivariable function worksheet, students find the limits of a function, identify the domain, and explore continuous functions. This two page worksheet contains explanations, definitions, and examples. There are approximately four multi-step problems in this worksheet.
In this continuous function worksheet, students determine the average velocity of objects over given intervals of time. They compute the derivative of functions and determine the slope of a line. This four-page worksheet contains approximately 25 multi-step problems.
Here is an activity that should catch the attention of your class! It focuses on the real-world problem of selecting the best cellular phone plan. This exercise would be especially good to use when introducing piecewise functions. Learners compare costs for various data plans, considering such features as unlimited talk and unlimited texts, to determine which plan is the most cost effective for different scenarios. The task requires giving graphical and numerical representations of the options and writing a justification for choosing a particular plan. The resource includes a detailed commentary for the teacher and three follow-up questions.
The highlight of this series is activitiy #4. Anatomy pupils examine slides of three unknown cells. With the function of the nervous system in mind, they consider the structure of each and try to guess which one is part of that system. In other activities, they examine the nervous system of earthworm and grasshopper specimens, or they study drawings of different animal nervous systems. The drawings unfortunately aren't included in this resource; however, they can be accessed through the National Science Teachers Association website.
Sal spends most this video explaining what the Mean Value Theorem says in a very intuitive way. He follows this with a concrete example of finding the value of a function on a closed interval where the slope is the same as the average slope of the function over that interval. Here, Sal also uses and informally defines the terms: continuous function, differential, and closed and open interval.
In this limits worksheet, students evaluate limits and graph given expressions. They classify graphs as removable discontinuities, jump discontinuities, or asymptotes. this two-page worksheet contains seven multi-step problems.
In this math worksheet students use the intermediate value theorem to solve two problems. They find parallel lines that will cut a convex shape into two pieces with equal areas. Students repeat this problem with a concave shape. Students show that there are always two points on exact opposite sides of earth that have the same temperature. Students use the mean-value theorem to find the derivative of a function.
In this integration worksheet, students evaluate the divergence or convergence of improper integrals. They explain limits of functions. In this one-page worksheet, students solve six multi-step problems.
Students investigate the intervals represented by a function. In this calculus instructional activity, students decide what interval of the function will be positive, negative or zero. They are given graphs of functions and asked to analyze it.
In this integral worksheet, students analyze equations using the gamma function. They sketch graphs of functions, and find the are between the graph and the x-axis. This two-page worksheet contains five multi-step equations.

Quantifying, using mathematics, is at the heart of much professional work done in the contemporary world. Math is essential for business, economics, technologies, natural sciences, social sciences, psychology, and any profession related to those fields. Most history departments now require quantitative reasoning courses such as demographics and other statistical methods. Arts and humanities courses are also making use of quantitative relationships in their studies of literature, art, and music. You can scarcely be educated in twenty-first century without mathematical skills and quantitative reasoning.
Take a moment to reflect on the many ways you encounter quantitative reasoning every day--do you see numbers, tables, graphs, diagrams in the newspaper? Think about your work environment, your volunteer work, or other daily life activities that deal in some way with quantitative information. For example:
What do those survey results, reported in opinion polls, really mean?
How can I use the nutritional information on the product label to analyze my diet or plan my family's meals?
How do I determine the budget for my department?
What pattern does that graph describe?
Math is a form of communication, just as writing is. It includes ways of representing precise relationships and of discovering or representing patterns. It's an important tool for inquiry as well as for problem solving, and it is a fundamental part of critical thinking. You need to examine your quantitative reasoning skills in order to determine what they are, how you use them,and whether they are appropriate to the type of critical inquiry and precise communication you will be doing in college and as an informed participant in modern life.
Do this self-assessment if:
you believe that quantitative reasoning means arithmetic and calculations
you generally just gloss over graphs, charts, statistics, or any mathematical information of this sort because you just don't know how to deal with it
you know that some level of math skill is expected for your profession and you don't know if your current learning is appropriate
you have "math anxiety"
The math self-assessment has many pieces. You may do one or many, depending on your individual needs. Go to the home page for this site, and click on "My Self-Assessments" in the upper left-hand corner. Under Academic Skills - Math, you'll find the following self-assessments:

W. Sawyer argues that the pleasure given by a unifying discovery is greatest when a person has struggled with masses of undigested information in an old form. In support of this thesis he reveals unexpected relationships and interdepencies between various topics that might at first seem entirely independent and unrelated.
Despite the wide range of mathematical topics, Prelude to Mathematics only assumes that the reader remembers some basic algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Calculus is not required. The reader is generally free to skip around; Sawyer has indicated where two chapters are more closely linked and should be read in sequence.
This short book consists of two largely independent sections. The first five chapters (about 60 pages) - On Beauty and Power, What are the Qualities of a Mathematician, Pattern in Elementary Mathematics, Generalization in Elementary Mathematics, and On Unification - provide a general overview of mathematics and mathematical thought.
Chapters 6 through 14 examine more advanced topics often not encountered in lower level mathematics courses.
I especially enjoyed Sawyer's overview of Projective Geometry and its companion chapter, Apparent Impossibilities. Sawyer's discussion of matrices from the perspective of coordinate transformations (rotations, reflections, and stretches) was surprisingly effective. Determinants are traditionally taught before matrices; Sawyer deliberately reverses the order.
Also, the chapters titled On Transformations and On Groups were quite good. The three chapters titled Non-Euclidian Geometries, Algebra without Arithmetic, and Finite Arithmetics and Geometries are good, but perhaps a little dated.Read more ›
This is the book that really got me interested in mathematics. I had never thought that a math book could be so engrossing. I finished reading it in a couple days and i immediately seeked out the author's other books. And the quality of the other book are of the same level as this one. It is a shame that the author's other books are mostly out of print. What i appreciate most about the book is that the math concepts are always are related to where it came from. The part on series is a small gem, and the book is full of ones like that. Without having met the author, he is in my mind certainly one of the best math teachers ever. (George Polya is another). Thank you, Mr Sawyer.
the material in it was over my head, but I had forgotten about it. What a treasure!! MATHEMATICIAN'S DELIGHT is more famous, I believe, but this book is filled with wisdom. Sawyer introduces finite geometries and group theory in simple prose. He figures out where Hall and Knight came up with the ideas for some of their exercises in their (famous) HIGHER ALGEBRA text. He introduces the hypergeometric function as a generalization of power series expressions of functions (something I feel I should certainly have heard of before reading about it here.) I can't imagine anyone with an interest in mathematics not finding something in this book to make him or her say "Hmmm..." or even make him or her pick up a pen and do some figuring. Highly recommended.
Prelude To Mathematics covers many aspects of the field of mathematics including modular arithmetic, non euclidean geometry, projective geometry, matrices and determinants. In addition the author discusses common themes in mathematics including pattern, generalization and unification. Although the types of mathematics are introduced in different chapters the author draws them together several times in the book making for a unified approach. I learned a lot from this book. It is the type of book you want to reread because there is so much information in it.
After reading these reviews, I couldn't resist 'seeing for myself', & purchased a copy of this book. I am utterly struck by Sawyer's brilliance. His expository style & its effectiveness are truly exceptional. And it amazes me that in a brief foray to a latter section of the book, & in under 10 minutes of my time, he had connected aspects of relatedness crucial to my understanding the 'why' of a branch of mathematics for which all encounters I'd had previously had failed to even *hint* at -- & that he conveyed it in such an uncluttered & straightforward manner, with excellent (& minimal) use of accompanying material (e.g. diagrams, symbols, etc.), was remarkable, & overall, resulted in some part of my mind 'exhaling', & my feeling a kind of gratitude seemingly reserved for the rare, magical educator whose talent 'lifts' us, & makes some previously inaccessible or otherwise 'cloudy' realm a new arena in which we can 'play'.
I find myself struggling to convey just how remarkable this work (of true art) is. Ironically, this reminds me (it reverberated in my mind) of the sentence which begins the third paragraph of the book -- "It is very difficult to communicate the things that are really worth communicating." -- all I can say is that Sawyer mastered that difficulty, & accompanying his analytical gifts was a creative style, passion, & flair for presentation which result in an educational force to be reckoned with.
It's one thing for someone to have penetrating insight, but to have been blessed with the gift of being a true teacher, & then to couple those talents & channel them through an exceptional facility with language (let alone an economical use thereof), is a wonder to behold, & a priceless gift to those with a desire to learn.

This book shows you everything you need to know to pass the exams MPC1 and MPC2 and nothing more. It's got good examples with normal and challenging questions.
It has revision excercises at the end of each section which are past exam questions.
Just don't use this book as your only resource if you're teaching yourself. The internet is brilliant and there's videos on there to help you.
The vast majority of A level Maths resources out there are tailored for Edexcel or for OCR, and AQA specific textbooks are very hard to come by - so this textbook was a godsend. It explains all the little bits of the syllabus, so it is great if you're a person who wants to learn things really thoroughly. There are also oodles of past exam questions, again all from AQA, so that you know exactly the type of questions you may get. The only downside is that some of the explanations are badly worded and hard to understand - but that is only occasional, and in those cases I just supplemented my studies by using other sources.
At the moment I i am using this book for As Maths and i think this book is excellent it has examples on how to do the questions so you wont be stuck, and it also has answers at the back so if you not in college you can do work on your own and then mark it yourself.

Algebra And Trigonometry
Synopsis
Three components contribute to a theme sustained throughout the Coburn Series: that of laying a firm foundation, building a solid framework, and providing strong connections. Not only does Coburn present a sound problem-solving process to teach students to recognize a problem, organize a procedure, and formulate a solution, the text encourages students to see beyond procedures in an effort to gain a greater understanding of the big ideas behind mathematical concepts. Written in a readable, yet mathematically mature manner appropriate for college algebra level students, Coburn's Algebra & Trigonometry uses narrative, extensive examples, and a range of exercises to connect seemingly disparate mathematical topics into a cohesive whole. Coburn's hallmark applications are born out of the author's extensive experiences in and outside the classroom, and appeal to the vast diversity of students and teaching methods in this course area. Benefiting from the feedback of hundreds of instructors and students across the country, Algebra & Trigonometry second edition, continues to emphasize connections in order to improve the level of student engagement in mathematics and increase their chances of success in college algebra.

Driving Question:
How does math help us design beautiful communities?
Assessment Plan:
Look at Those Curves Brochure (Look at Those Curves Written Communication Rubric) – Each team member will design a brochure promoting his or her new community To show detail and understanding of the conic sections, the student should show close-up sketches of each of the conic sections.
Divide the students into groups (of three recommended) – suggestion – use Robert Sternberg's theory of intelligences for groups of three (analytical, practical, and creative) students.Students should have an email account.Provide students with the teacher's email account for submission of assessments.In teacher email, make a folder for each class to ease the sorting of submissions.Prepare a Resource and SupportedLearningCenter to ensure a differentiated and supported learning environment.This may include workstations with resources or resource lists, skills identified along with practice problems, guide to project completion.Teacher may provide students with electronic resource lists as well as pre-printed electronic resources for those with limited technology availability. Prepare or have students prepare group folders or binders for keeping student material and teacher ease for monitoring of student progress.A suggested teacher resource list is Look at Those Curves Resource List. Since this project does not focus on internet searches as evidence of success, the teacher can divide the work into workstations with pre-printed documents.Workstation titles should be as follows, number one – distance and midpoint formula, number two – circles, number three – ellipse, number four – parabola, number five – hyperbola, number six – the brochure, number seven – the blueprint, and number eight – putting it all together.
Step Two: Launch the Project
Entry Event – PresentThe teacher should organize the PowerPoint into a series that presents multiple representations of circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas.The teacher should use an open discussion to lead the students to recognize and identify circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas.
Introduce Driving Question – How does math help us design beautiful communities?
Project Scenario – (Look at Those Curves Student Launch Handout)Know/Need to Know Log
Provide students with a list of objectives for this project.The list should include the prerequisite knowledge and the knowledge and skills required to complete the project.The teacher will revisit the prerequisite knowledge and skills. (Look at Those Curves Know and Need to Know Log)
Team/Individual Contract – After the students form their groups, the instructor will give each group the Look at Those Curves Student Launch Handout. The students need to read the project scenario and then review it in an open discussion within the group.The teacher will give the instruction for the students to use the handout as their guide to define the roles of each member of the group.Students will give a job title for each role and write a clear and concise description of the job.Then each will sign the contract and give it to the teacher.The teacher will make one copy for each of the students in the group and will keep the original in a file.For groups that need their roles clearly defined, the instructor will present Look at Those Curves Student Contract in an open discussion.Provide about ten minutes for the students in groups to review and discuss the contract and ask questions.Teacher will assist students, if necessary, with determining the best role for each student.Students will mark the appropriate duty on the contract and then sign and return the contract, which contains an agreement for collaborative work, to the teacher for review.Once reviewed, make one copy for each group member and replace in the group folders for future reference.The teacher should keep the original.For students in small (or separate) classes such as special education or resource rooms, the teacher may want to assign groups and meet individually to develop student understanding of requirements.
Vocabulary Development – Students will develop conic vocabulary, equation, and graph knowledge.This is an open-ended assignment and the teacher may adjust instructional methods based on the make-up of the class.For the most independent learner, the teacher may simply use the entry event, the project scenario, and the driving question to structure the learning environment and the development of vocabulary.For the structured or supported learning environment, the teacher may provide a list of vocabulary and resources available to locate information.As an introduction to conics, "Occurrence of the Conics" found at provides the historical development as well as enlarged views of the circle, ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola.This site has multiple links to real-world uses and examples of the conics. gives an in-depth look at conics and their equations.In a supported environment, the teacher should consider visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile learners when making a workstation and a resource center.Helpful website for definitions is at will submit printed examples of architectural designs that include the following: parabola, circle, ellipse, and hyperbola.
Teacher will guide students into an effective brainstorming session, discussing checklists while demonstrating what makes a good checklist.Students will develop checklist of required components of conic community and progress using technology. Each group will make and use a brainstorming plan to reach goals of the project.Compare the checklist with the learning targets, learning skills, and technology tool requirements of the project.
Students will make a draft blueprint, model, or sketch of conic community.The draft will serve as the driving force for accomplishing content standards and objects and 21st century skills.If necessary, give hints to lead students to mathematical development.
Revisit distance and midpoint formulas – At a workstation provide a pre-test or worksheet that includes a self-check answer sheet with mastery guidelines for proceeding with project.For students below mastery, provide individual direct instruction and resources for additional practice and demonstration of learning.
Students will discover distance and midpoint formulas in three-dimensional space. Practice is available for conics with homework on distance teacher should observe students during this activity and provide additional practice as necessary.
Using the checklist the groups will determine which conic section to explore first.For instance, a group may explore circles first.The group should complete the exploration of the circle.Then compile the graph and equation of the circle, identify and locate all circles on the blueprint, and prepare a picture, professional sketch, or clip art and description for the brochure. Then, the group will proceed to the next conic section, repeating the process until finished with the project.
For an investigation on a hyperbola and parabola, visit and Function" for a real-life application.This investigation focuses on perimeter, area, and volume in relation to two and three dimensional objects with a graph of the results.Students can also visit the investigation, "Building Connections", which focuses on making connections among different classes of polynomial functions by exploring the graphs of the functions.
Students will discover that they need to solve problems and simplify radical expressions during this project.Students will use an online activity to solve problems and simplify radical expressions student will submit written documentation of equation calculations for parabolas, circles, ellipses, and hyperbolas.

Draft and develop final Look at Those Curves Presentation.The students should use the Look at Those Curves Oral Communication Rubric as a development guide.Student focus and project assessment is weighted toward the mathematical objectives and goals, as well as 21st Century skills, learning targets, and technology tools.
Review student-made checklist for project requirements.If a group has not completed any section of the project, then the group is not ready for oral presentation practice.Students should revisit areas of concern for a complete project.
The students will practice the oral presentation.They will use the Look at Those Curves Oral Communication Rubric to determine if the group presentation meets or exceeds the expectations of the assignment.Each group will score practice presentation.Collect the rubrics, examine student scoring, and return these the same day to the students with comments and suggestions.
All groups will present the final project to a group of peers as well as outside architect, building contractor, building permit or zoning officer if available.Each student/group will present a blue print along with visual representation of 1000-acre community designs.Each student will prepare and present a 3D sketch or model of arch entry, water fountain or circle drive, swimming pool, and pond.An exemplary product demonstrates student thorough understanding of mathematical concepts and the use of technology.
Step Five:Teacher and student reflections and evaluations of the project
Each student and project team will engage in a Self/Team Evaluation (Look at Those Curves A Student Reflection) that focuses on the mathematical content, collaboration, and communication aspects of the project.Students should use the evaluation to improve individual mathematical ability and mastery of objectives and goals as well as collaboration and communications skills.
The teacher will reflect on the academics, exploration, relevancy, authenticity, application, real-world connection, relationships, time on task, connections between objectives and outcomes (Look at Those Curves A Teacher Reflection).
Look at Those Curves – A Conic Community Final Evaluation
The teacher should use this to improve the mathematical quality of the project or to alter the project to meet the needs of the students with consideration of the school or regional area.The final evaluation will consist of a discussion of conics using a conic method, otherwise known as the fishbowl method (Look at Those Curves A Conic Community Final Evaluation).The teacher will prepare topics for discussion based on the method chosen for inside circle groups.The teacher will also prepare a method for choosing the order of discussion groups, such as drawing numbers, alphabetically by group leader first or last name, or birth date of reporter.

Mathway Algebra Solver
Algebra is a division of mathematics regarding the study of quantity, relation, and. Structure. Together with analysis, geometry, number theory, and combinatorial, algebra is the major divisions of mathematics. Basic algebra is frequently fraction of the prospectus in secondary teachings. Most of the sites still give particular algebra software course recognized as my algebra solvers. This type of programs needs you to enter algebraic troubles along with suitable signs.
A fraction is one type of number that can present branch of total. The initial fractions were equals of figures. A lot of later improvement was the regular or "vulgar" part that are used nowadays (½, ⅝, ¾, etc.) and that is form of a denominator and a numerator. A solver one kind of generic term representing a part of algebraically software, perhaps in the shape of a separate computer program or else like a software records, that 'solves' a algebraically problem.
There are three kinds of fractions of my algebra solver such as proper fraction, improper fraction and mixed fraction. These software courses not only assist in identifying the accurate result, but also provide correct description for trouble solving and in correct formats.
If you want to solve algebra home task with the assist of my algebra solver software. It is very much easy to solve, like there is simple access to about each algebraic equation. By the assist of these courses, you can solve many algebraic problems that engage fractions, matrices, factoring, logarithmic, functions, determinations exponents, and radicals.
In contrast, almost my algebra solvers are close to algebra solver online software programs. There is the main dissimilarity is that it gives much focus on usual mathematical troubles only. It might enhance the opportunity of public being cynical in registering to sites which give such type of software courses.
Algebra problem solvers provide results with appropriate explanations. Also you find a precise enlightenment on how to get the answers. Actually, the websites also provide demo tape of how the software functions. Lots of web sites also provide free demo version download for the consumers to download and verify the appropriateness of it. These types of web sites are fine sources which assist in solving algebraic troubles in a proper manner by creating obtainable various my algebra solver programs. As well, these algebra programs are so cheap and very comfort to apply.
Apart from websites, using software algebra assists in developing the general match scores of a learner. Actually, in recent times, supervision of many states has respected to apply of these software algebra courses for their involvement and improvement to many learner.

Lectures in Geometric Combinatorics
Publisher:
American Mathematical Society/Institute for Advanced Study
Number of Pages:
143
Price:
29.00
ISBN:
0-8218-4140-8
This book can be a useful tool for a graduate student or researcher with no knowledge of the topics presented here and who wants to understand the main concepts quickly. No previous knowledge other than undergraduate-level linear algebra is required, and the chapters are ten pages long on average. This reviewer found the text easy to read.
Two main topics are discussed. The first two-thirds of the book is about polytopes and polyhedra. Readers who want to dig deeper into this field should continue their studies by consulting the book by Gunther Ziegler, Lectures on Polytopes , after reading the first nine chapters of this book.
The last third of the book is devoted to more algebraic aspects of geometric combinatorics. There are two chapters on Gröbner bases and two on Toric ideals. Readers who become interested in these two topics can learn more from the book by Bernd Sturmfels, Gröbner Bases and Convex Polytopes .
Miklós Bóna is Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Florida.

What's the Best Math Software?!Thanks!
depends on what you are doing.
For Calculus mathematics, Mathematics is best.
For Algebraic Maths, Maple is best.
yes, it depends entirely on what you're doing and what kind of data you're working with. All the different math programs do math very well, and for fairly generic stuff either of them will do the job. Some programs do certain things better than others though.
If you're doing a lot of symbolic stuff, then I would say go with Mathematica.
If you lots of data you need to crunch or you're doing a lot of numeric stuff, my choice would be Matlab (or one of it's many variants such as FreeMat or Octave).
If you're doing statistical analysis on a bunch of numbers, then I would go for something like S Plus or R.
And the 'best math software' for one person isn't necessarily going to be the best one for you. And the best one for you now won't necessarily be the best one for you a few years down the road. Figure out what you need to do and what kind of data you're going to be working with first. Then ask about the best program for that task.
What's the Best Math Software?!
I absolutely agree that your selection of math software must be matched to your needs. I would recommend asking people in your field for advice because ultimately you will be collaborating with them and it becomes very difficult to to do so when you are using A and everyone else is using B.
On a slightly different note, I would discourage reliance on computer algebra systems until you have mastered the underlying mathematics on your own. Unless you have done so you will be unable to judge whether the results you obtain are correct or make sense. Use them as a guide!
In that regard, systems like Derive or MuPAD are great learning tools (and they are quite capable production tools too!) and cost much less than Mathematica. You will probably be disappointed in Calc Center which provides very little in terms of flexibility.

Matrices for Statistics
Book Description: Multiple regression, linear modelling, and multivariate analysis are among the most useful statistical methods for the elucidation of complicated data, and all of them are most easily explained in matrix terms. Anyone concerned with the analysis of data needs to be familiar with these methods and a knowledge of matrices is essential in order to understand the literature in which they are described. This knowledge must include some advanced topics, but can do without much of the material covered by general textbooks of matrix algebra. This book is intended to cover the necessary ground as briefly as possible. Only the simplest of basic mathematics is used, and the book should be accessible to engineers, biologists, and social scientists as well as those with a specifically mathematical background. The text of the first edition has been re-written and revised to take account of recent developments in statistical practice. The more difficult topics have been expanded and the mathematical explanations have been simplified. A new chapter has been included, at readers' request, to cover such topics as vectorising, matrix calculus and complex numbers. From the reviews of the first edition '...this should be a valuable handbook for a great variety of statistical users.' Short Book Reviews of the International Statistics Institute '...a good reference book for the serious student.' Journal of the American Statistical Association '...a very worthwhile addition to anyone's shelf. Teaching Statistics 'I recommend it.' Technometrics

Mathematics 4.0 (64-bit)
By Mark Wilson | 02 February 11
Windows has included a calculator for many years now, and for basic day to day calculations it functions well. For more advanced calculation, you have the option of switching to scientific mode, but there are circumstances in which even this can be somewhat underpowered.
Microsoft Mathematics is a surprisingly power calculator that in many ways functions like a traditional handheld calculator. It features a graphing option that can be used to visualise equations in mathematics and science.
This is much more than a basic scientific calculator - Microsoft Mathematics also includes a unit conversion utility and can be used to calculate calculus, algebra and trigonometry. When working with equations, the option to generate 2- and 3D graphs is immensely useful.
The program includes a step-by-step equation solver that will not only help you to break down an equation or problem and work through it gradually, but also to gain a better understanding of the principles as work. With a packed functions and equations library as well as a triangle solver, this is a great addition to any students set of tools.

Video Text Math Review by Rebecca Kovaly
November 6, 2010
Pros: Comprehensive Cons: None Grades Used: 8th & 10th
Where other Algebra programs have failed us, Video Text Interactive has excelled. We watch the video lesson together then students work the practice sets(odds or evens). Notes are already printed up and are very helpful while working the practice sets. After 2-3 problems, we check the answer book to make sure we are on the right track. The student finishes the practice sets. The next day before the next video lesson, the students take a quiz to make sure they remember the concept from the prior lesson. There is a seperate answer book for the quizes and end of unit test. Each lesson is presented to aid the student (and parent) in fully understanding the concept, the whys, as well as the parts of mathematical speech. The program may seem a bit expensive, but when compared to other math programs (especially the ones you bought only to find out they were not a good match), this program is a good value. We chose not to write in the workbooks, so the program can be used by multiple students for many years. Very please so far, we have just started Module B

Topology studies how a shape or object is connected. In the
past few years, there has been an increased interest in the
development and use of topological methods for solving various
problems in science and engineering. This new line of study is called
Computational Topology or Applied
Algebraic Topology. Computational topology combines
topological results with efficient computational tools to analyze data
and solve problems in many fields -- computer graphics and
image analysis, sensor networks, clustering, robotics, genetics,
protein biochemistry, geography, and many more.
This course will present an introductory, self-contained
overview of computational topology. There are no
prerequisites, but mathematical sophistication at the senior
undergraduate level and some familiarity with the use of computer
packages such as MATLAB are expected. We will cover basic concepts
from a number of areas of mathematics, such as abstract algebra,
algebraic topology, and optimization. We will also look at algorithms
and data structures, and efficient software for analyzing the topology
of point sets and shapes, often posing questions in an optimization
framework.
We will not follow any particular book, and will rely mostly on
handouts and class notes. Material from several recent (and not-so
recent) papers will also be covered. Since the main goal of this
course is to expose the audience to this interdisciplinary research
area, evaluation will be done through homeworks (around five
assignments of moderate length) and a course project. No exams will be
given.

CALCULUS 5e brings The authors believe this edition will work well for those departments who are looking for a calculus book that offers a middle ground for their calculus instructors.
CALCULUS 5 [via]
Calculus teachers recognize Calculus as the leading resource among the "reform" projects that employ the rule of four and streamline the curriculum in order to deepen conceptual understanding. The fifth edition uses all strands of the "Rule of Four" - graphical, numeric, symbolic/algebraic, and verbal/applied presentations - to make concepts easier to understand. The book focuses on exploring fundamental ideas rather than comprehensive coverage of multiple similar cases that are not fundamentally unique. [via]
This text, which grew out of a NSF grant, takes a fresh approach with a focus on the underlying concepts of precalculus, rather than sheer algebraic manipulation. It effectively prepares students for a new generation of calculus courses and allows instructors to become actively involved in the teaching process. The authors make extensive use of real world applications, showing students how mathematics relates to their field of study, as well as including a thorough integration of technology. Additionally, the authors have incorporated a number of learning features designed to ready students for a more positive calculus experience. [via]

Key to Geometry offers a non-intimidating way to prepare students for formal geometry as they do step-by-step constructions.
Students begin by drawing lines, bisecting angles, and reproducing segments using only a pencil, compass, and straightedge.
Later they do sophisticated constructions involving more than a dozen steps and are prompted to form their own generalizations.
When they finish, students have been introduced to 134 geometric terms and are ready to tackle formal proofs
Key To… When it comes to higher math, if either you (teaching) or your student (learning) lack confidence, then this curriculum may be your answer. TheseThe Key To Geometry Answers and Notes are available separately or purchased as a complete set

1999This textbook is thoughtfully organized to help students of calculus grasp the finer details of the material. Though it is a math textbook, the language contained within avoids overly complex jargon to cover the material. The author introduces and explains the material in a very straightforward manner that is easy to comprehend. The layout of the material not only receives kudos for its visual appeal, but it also directs the reader's attention to content of importance (theorems, definitions, etc.).
The examples in the book were helpful in explaining the material presented. Their solutions were thorough and adequately addressed the relevant topics discussed. Included with each section are numerous practice problems of variable difficulty that tests the student's understanding of the material just presented.
The fourth edition has an expanded table of integrals on the back cover to include a greater number of symbolic integral solutions compared with previous versions of the text. A generous appendix contains review materials for mathematical concepts introduced in courses prior to calculus.
All in all, I highly recommend this text for all calculus students and professors for its elegant yet simple approach to calculus.
I am very happy to own this book on calculus which in my opinion is a must have book for every math lover. It is clear, concise and covers the subject in depth. Above all the rigorous approach needed for a clear understanding is what makes it stand out from the lot.
5.0 out of 5 starsThe best there is - and I'm familiar with the others13 May 2000
By Stan Vernooy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I was one of the pre-publication reviewers for the second edition of this book. I have not been shy about telling a publisher that their book stinks if that's my opinion. But the Stewart book was then, and remains now, IMHO, the best introductory calculus text available. Please note that the majority of negative reviews came from people who have seen exactly one calculus book, and they clearly don't like calculus! But I have taught from three of the most popular books, and I've read most of the others. There may be other books which take a radically entertaining, non-traditional, and more superficial approach to the subject, and those books may meet with approval from people who really don't want to learn calculus. But of those (many) books which cover the traditional topics in an introductory calculus course, no other author has written a text as learnable as Stewart's. On every topic, Stewart is clearly conscious of the fact that his reader doesn't already know the subject, and he has given some thought to exactly what has to be explained in order for the student to learn successfully. Remember, most textbooks are not written for students: they are written for the professors who are going to choose the books. Professors are not generally impressed with a book which spends a half page clearly describing the meaning of a theorem which can be written with a one-line equation. But students will appreciate the effort Stewart has exerted to help them learn. Stewart does not sugar-coat or resort to gimmicks or superficiality in order to make the material learnable. All the material is there, it's just presented with an awareness that the reader is trying to learn calculus for the first time. If you are taking a calculus course with any other book, try to get a cheap used copy of the Stewart to use as a supplement. It will help!

3.0 out of 5 starsUnimpressed8 Sep 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I am a beginning calculus student at the local JC and have found this book to be a bit frustrating. While Stewart is very fluent, his explanations can be sterile and long-winded. At the same time Stewart's definitions, typically lacking a symbol explanation, are too abbreviated for my particular learning style. As I have progressed through the course I can see why Stewart chose to leave these symbols out, many are used repeatedly and to a professional it would seem redundant to include an explanation. However, as a student I find that this repetition is an important part of the learning process. A foreign language text makes a good analogue. Like a foreign language, math has a vocabulary and one can not simply be given a few words in the first chapter and then be expected to regurgitate them at will. While the overall organization of the book is very good, it is lacking in the specifics. Any one who uses this book will inevitably spend a lot of time performing unnecessary page turning, as the author often neglects to include the page numbers along with references to specific parts of the text. Stewart doesn't even provide the reader with an adequate convention by which the definitions could be found, numbering his definitions simply 1, 2, 3...etc. for each section. If I already knew calculus and were using this book as a reference I would probably give it a higher rating and perhaps even recommend it to you. As a student however, I feel it really doesn't work for me and I couldn't recommend it to anyone else.

1.0 out of 5 starsInferior text, though popular9 Mar 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This is the early transcendentals version of Stewart's calculus. The title of the book is quite appropriate, in that to learn calculus well, one must transcend the Stewart approach early and often. I found my self reading another text (Simmon's Calculus and Analytic Geometry) as an antidote to this dry, disjointed, lifeless tome.
Stewart takes an inconsistent (sometimes rigorous, sometimes intuitive) approach toward teaching the calculus. It seems as if he has attempted to be all things to all people. Though he may have attempted to present the subject in both an intuitive (to motivate the typical student) and rigorous (to satisfy the professor) manner, he failed to deliver on either.
The text is replete with pretty diagrams and some historical diversions, which read as canned, trivial snippets. In spite of this eye candy, the mathematical exposition is poor. Most proofs read as shorthand notes to one who already understands the subject. Is it analysis or basic calculus? Stewart seems to have a schizophrenic writing manner. On the one hand, he presents examples in "workbook" (i.e. Schaum's outline) form, so that if one wishes to solve a particular sort of problem, one might find it here. He does not seem able, however, to meld problem solving with rigor in a coherent manner. So an abbreviated proof is done, with several relevant steps (relevant, that is, to the beginner) omitted. What function does this serve for a pre-analysis student? A proof that might take 10 steps is presented in 4. What is the point of this approach? Perhaps so as to ward off accusations that a particular subject was not touched upon.
The book is expensive and bloated. Though the "official" rendering of the page numbers is 781, there are approximately 130 other pages devoted to appendices (some as advertisements for other, i.e. ancillary, materials). Note, this text is intended for a 2 semester Calculus sequence. It seems inappropriate, perhaps fraudulent,that Stewart devoted 900+ pages for this task, and yet failed to present the material in an interesting and efficient manner.
Given his insistence upon this secondary material, I ask Stewart - did you ever intend for this book to be relatively self-contained for the serious first year scholar, or did you expect the professor or CD-ROM to fill in the gaps in your exposition? In spite of the suggestion to buy expensive ancillaries, I diverted myself to the library where I discovered Simmons' brilliant exposition. This text provides what Stewart does not - a good, efficient foundation of the basic calculus in the context of intellectual breadth. When a calculus first-timer reads Simmons, he or she will likely understand exactly why a calculation is being done, as opposed to the Stewart "willy-nilly" approach, as if one is simply calculating for calculations sake, much like working glorified accountancy problems. Calculus is an intellectual masterpiece, but Stewart presents it as disjointed, purposeless exercise solving. I suggest that serious freshman mathematics scholars avoid Stewart. Compare the Stewart text to others in your school library if possible, buy used if necessary, and read something else if the exposition seems problematic.
I recommend most highly the George F. Simmon's text Calculus and Analytic Geometry (either the first or second edition). Another promising text is Anton's Calculus: A New Horizon, as more efficient, focused alternatives. These texts allow one to learn first year calculus on one's own, and if one has the benefit of a decent professor, so much the better for one's edification. After Simmons or Anton, one should be well prepared to move on to introductory analysis, such as the work of Michael Spivak (Spivak's Calculus).

Centrifugal pump
A centrifugal pump is a rotodynamic pump
that uses a rotating impeller to increase the
pressure of a fluid. Centrifugal pumps are
commonly used to move liquids through a
piping system. The fluid enters the pump
impeller along or near to the rotating axis
and is accelerated by the impeller, flowing
radially outward into a diffuser or volute
chamber (casing), from where it exits into
the downstream piping system. Centrifugal
pumps are used for large discharge through
smaller heads.
According to Reti, the Brazilian soldier and
historian of science, the first machine that
could be characterized as a centrifugal pump was a mud lifting machine which appeared as early as 1475 in a treatise
by the Italian Renaissance engineer Francesco di Giorgio Martini.[1] True centrifugal pumps were not developed
until the late 17th century, when Denis Papin made one with straight vanes. The curved vane was introduced by
British inventor John Appold in 1851.
Like most pumps, a centrifugal pumps converts mechanical energy
from a motor to energy of a moving fluid; some of the energy goes into
kinetic energy of fluid motion, and some into potential energy,
represented by a fluid pressure or by lifting the fluid against gravity to
a higher level.
The transfer of energy from the mechanical rotation of the impeller to
the motion and pressure of the fluid is usually described in terms of
centrifugal force, especially in older sources written before the modern
concept of centrifugal force as a fictitious force in a rotating reference
frame was well articulated. The concept of centrifugal force is not
actually required to describe the action of the centrifugal pump.
In the modern centrifugal pump, most of the energy conversion is due
Cutaway view of centrifugal pump
to the outward force that curved impeller blades impart on the fluid.
Invariably, some of the energy also pushes the fluid into a circular motion, and this circular motion can also convey some energy and increase the pressure at the outlet. The relationship between these mechanisms was described, with the typical mixed conception of centrifugal force as known as that time, in an 1859 article on centrifugal pumps,
To arrive by a simpler method than that just given at a general idea of the mode of action of the exterior whirlpool in improving the efficiency of the centrifugal pump, it is only necessary to
consider that the mass of water revolving in the whirlpool chamber, round the circumference of the wheel, must necessarily exert a centrifugal force, and that this centrifugal force may
readily be supposed to add itself to the outward force generated within the wheel; or, in other words, to go to increase the pumping power of the wheel...

Old Tech books find new life in school district 26, 2000

Marlin Kinzer, Tech Bookstore Director, 394- 2375
Old Tech books find new life in school district
A set of old books from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology has given life to a fledgling math program in the McCook Central School District.
The Tech bookstore is usually left with some leftover books when school officials decide to move to a different text. Typically, bookstore director Marlin Kinzer can find someone to buy the books. But Tech and Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colo., were the only schools using a set of three trigonometry books that Tech decided to move away from this year. That wiped out any potential market, Kinzer said.
So the three- book series sat and collected dust.
" I held on to them thinking that someday, somehow, we would find a use for them," Kinzer said.
Luck intervened.
This past summer, Kinzer told Tech student Aaron Gough of Salem, S. D., about the books. Gough asked his brother, a math teacher at McCook Central School District if he could use the books. The teacher did.
" McCook Central currently does not have a trigonometry class," first- year teacher Evan Gough said. " These books will alleviate the need to find extra funding for this new course."
Students who have completed Algebra 2 will be able to tackle the trig class, Gough said. He plans to begin offering the course next fall.
" Trigonometry is an important class for high school students to take before they go to college," he said. �� And there are important uses for trigonometry in the real world."
McCook Central has about 415 students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
Aaron Gough, a sophomore pursuing degrees in mechanical and metallurgical engineering, delivered 50 copies of each book during a trip home to Salem.
Kinzer is glad the books found a home where the will be used.
" It felt good from a personal standpoint as well as for the bookstore and the university in general to help them out," Kinzer said. " We want to promote the learning of math and anything we can do to help students be better prepared, we're happy to do it."

At Whangaparaoa College Mathematics courses focus on developing the ability to apply some of the essential skills described in The New Zealand Curriculum Framework: communication skills; numeracy skills; information skills; problem-solving skills; social and cooperative skills; and work and study skills.
To do this learners will be put in situations where they can be lead to "rediscover" concepts, develop and maintain skills, and tackle applications while learning to think mathematically.
It is important that problems in real world contexts that are relevant to the learners are investigated. Connections to other learning areas will also be highlighted and explored.
General objectives from Mathematics in the New Zealand Curriculum which Whangaparaoa College Mathematics teaching and learning aims to meet.
GO 1. Develop a belief in the value of mathematics and its usefulness.
GO 2. Nurture confidence in the learners' own mathematical ability.
GO 3. Foster a sense of personal achievement and encourage a continuing and creative interest in mathematics.
GO 4. Develop skills, concepts, understandings and attitudes which will enable learners to cope confidently with the mathematics of everyday life.
GO 5. Develop a variety of approaches to solving problems in mathematics including the ability to think and reason logically.
GO 6. Help learners to achieve the mathematical and statistical literacy needed in a society which is technologically oriented and information rich.
GO 7. Provide learners with the mathematical tools, skills, understandings and attitudes that they will require in the world of work.
GO 8. Provide a foundation for those learners who may continue studies in mathematics or other learning areas where mathematical concepts are central.
GO 9. Help to foster and develop mathematical talent.
GO 10. To look for problems and solve them in flexible and creative ways reflecting critically on the methods chosen.
In Mathematics learners explore relationships between quantities, space and data. They learn how to express these relationships in ways that help them make sense of the world around them.
Learners will investigate and communicate patterns, relationships and models to solve problems in real life and hypothetical situations. These are drawn from a wide range of social, cultural, scientific, technological, health, environmental and economic contexts.
By studying Mathematics learners develop the ability to think creatively, critically, strategically, and logically. They learn to structure and to organise, to carry out procedures flexibly and accurately, to process and communicate information, and to enjoy intellectual challenge.
Mathematics also contributes to the Essential Learning Area of Technology through the use of calculators (Scientific, Graphical and CAS), computers (Particularly spreadsheets, graphing, dynamic geometry, statistics and simulation applications) and Interactive Whiteboards. Technology should be used to focus on the mathematical concepts and ideas where routine mechanical manipulation intrudes on the real point of learning situations.

Customer Reviews:
we love Dr. Math
By Lucy Moore - October 25, 2006
Since my son started using BeeStar online math, he often asks questions about math problems. They are more and more challenging to me. This book came in as a big help. Its friendly question and answer format makes it very easy to use. The answers are insightful and presented in an elegant and simple manner that makes otherwise hard-to-explain concepts easy. It not only teaches the conventional math, but also gives you the context and the thoughts behind the principles. My son's math sense is improved significantly since I used this invaluable book. We love it.
Suffering from pre-algebra anxiety? I prescribe Dr.Math
By Sam L. Savage "Author - The Flaw of Averages" - September 15, 2003
Dr. Math Gets You Ready for Algebra contains answers to some pithy questions. �What is algebra?� The answer starts out: �Algebra is like arithmetic, but in algebra some of the numbers have names instead of values.�As another example, �It makes no sense to me why someone would replace a number with a letter� signed Carissa. The answer is in part �You�re doing something a little like algebra whenever you use a pronoun. You could have written this: It makes no sense to Carissa why someone would replace a number with a letter�Or how about: �An algebraic expression is like a word or phrase, and an equation is like a sentence.�A successful textbook is easy to TEACH from because it has lots of exercises, and plenty of extra padding in case there isn�t quite enough useful content to fill the entire semester. Reading a successful textbook is often like eating sawdust. In contrast, Dr. Math Gets... read more
As far as I can see
By Quirkywriter "karieo" - February 2, 2009
I bought Ready for Algebra because we're homeschooling and I have trouble with math. I'm an older-than-usual mom and it's been 40 years since I had algebra, so I need help. Frankly, I got this book for myself. The cartoons, the simple explanations, and the blessings of an index and glossary are helping pave the way for me as I work alongside my daughter in math. Now I'll understand what she's asking and not have to call our mentor math mom all the time. :)

My nephew is 8 years old and shows great promise as a student. Sadly, as most of you know most programs in secondary education don't offer any foundational courses for higher mathematics. What books/online resources/programs do you recommend?
My introduction was Modern Algebra: An Introduction which I found very comprehensible (although the last chapter on coding theory isn't very good IMHO). It's at a very basic level and assumes little yet eventually gives the reader some nice machinery, such as Lagrange's theorem, Sylow theorems and basic Galois theory.

@arete: Has your nephew learned any high school algebra? In my case, before I learned some algebra (using library books when I was in the 8th grade; my school didn't offer algebra until 9th grade), what I could usefully read and understand was WAY WAY less than what was the case after I learned some algebra. Also, you say that he's 8 years old but then mention secondary education. In the U.S. that's a gap of 6 to 7 years, which is sufficiently large that the Johns Hopkins program for children extremely gifted in math might be interested.

More About
This Textbook
Overview
Based on a series of lectures given at Sheffield during 1971–72, this text is designed to introduce the student to homological algebra avoiding the elaborate machinery usually associated with the subject. This book presents a number of important topics and develops the necessary tools to handle them on an ad hoc basis. The final chapter contains some previously unpublished material and will provide additional interest both for the keen student and his tutor. Some easily proven results and demonstrations are left as exercises for the reader and additional exercises are included to expand the main themes. Solutions are provided to all of these. A short bibliography provides references to other publications in which the reader may follow up the subjects treated in the book. Graduate students will find this an invaluable course text as will those undergraduates who come to this subject in their final

The Mathematics Department's goal is to prepare all students to be mathematically literate at a college preparatory level. It is the objective of the department that students be able to successfully solve problems and express mathematical ideas in a clear, concise, and logical manner. Students should be able to conjecture, reason, draw logical conclusions, and generalize their results. In examination of problem situations, students should apply their mathematics to model practical situations. It is the goal of the department to meet the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards for college bound students. These include: Mathematics as Problem-solving, Mathematics as Communication, Mathematics as Reasoning and Proof, Mathematical Connections, Mathematical Representations, Numbers and Operations, Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, Data Analysis, and Probability.
Courses utilize lecture, discussion, investigations, guided discovery and numerous hands-on activities. Students interact through group activity to make concepts meaningful and concrete. Assignments to reinforce these concepts are given in connection with each lesson. The assigned problems are checked and group work or teacher demonstration is used to clarify difficult problems. Technology (computers and calculators) is utilized at age-appropriate levels in the mathematics program

Mathematics
This course has elements of a transition from the traditional Algebra I course toward a more integrated curriculum with connections to geometry, statistics and probability, and real-world problem solving. Topics include patterns and geometric figures, data manipulation, graphs, real numbers, equations and inequalities, matrices, polynomial operations, graph variations, and functions.
This course integrates some algebra and trigonometry and introduces logical structures and proofs. Students will be familiarized with basic geometric (Euclidean and analytic) concepts, and encouraged to make conjectures and use reasoning as problem solving tools. Topics include free standing and coordinate geometric shapes and patterns, measurement, transformations, some trigonometry, angles, parallel lines and triangles in proofs, and symmetryPre-Calculus is an enrichment course recommended for college-bound students. It is not a course in Trigonometry and Analytic Geometry per se but includes most aspects of standard high school mathematics through Algebra 2 and introduces a light treatment of topics from introductory calculus, such as, concepts of continuity, limits, and derivatives of algebraic functions.
Calculus is an enrichment elective math course recommended for college-bound students. It is a course that introduces the student to the math concepts of differentiation and integration. The study of inverse functions, integration by parts, partial fractions, trigonometric substitutions, surfaces of revolution, volumes, centroids, infinite series, and Taylor expressions are examples of topics covered. Graphing calculators and mathematical software tools are used extensively.
