An Introduction to Numerical Methods and Analysis addresses the mathematics underlying approximation and scientific computing and successfully explains where approximation methods come from, why they sometimes work (or don't work), and when to use one of the many techniques that are available. Written in a style that emphasizes readability and usefulness for the numerical methods novice, the book begins with basic, elementary material and gradually builds up to more advanced topics. A selection of concepts required for the study of computational mathematics is introduced, and simple approximations using Taylor's Theorem are also treated in some depth. The text includes exercises that run the gamut from simple hand computations, to challenging derivations and minor proofs, to programming exercises. A greater emphasis on applied exercises as well as the cause and effect associated with numerical mathematics is featured throughout the book. An Introduction to Numerical Methods and Analysis is the ideal text for students in advanced undergraduate mathematics and engineering courses who are interested in gaining an understanding of numerical methods and numerical analysis. James F. Epperson, PHD, is Associate Editor of Mathematical Reviews. Dr. Epperson received his PhD from Carnegie Mellon University, and his research interests include the numerical solution of nonlinear evolution equations via finite difference methods, the use of kernel functions to solve evolution equations, and numerical methods in mathematical finance.

Analysis as an independent subject was created as part of the scientific revolution in the seventeenth century. Kepler, Galileo, Descartes, Fermat, Huygens, Newton, and Leibniz, to name but a few, contributed to its genesis. Since the end of the seventeenth century, the historical progress of mathematical analysis has displayed unique vitality and momentum. No other mathematical field has so profoundly influenced the development of modern scientific thinking. Describing this multidimensional historical development requires an in-depth discussion which includes a reconstruction of general trends and an examination of the specific problems. This volume is designed as a collective work of authors who are proven experts in the history of mathematics. It clarifies the conceptual change that analysis underwent during its development while elucidating the influence of specific applications and describing the relevance of biographical and philosophical backgrounds. The first ten chapters of the book outline chronological development and the last three chapters survey the history of differential equations, the calculus of variations, and functional analysis. Special features are a separate chapter on the development of the theory of complex functions in the nineteenth century and two chapters on the influence of physics on analysis. One is about the origins of analytical mechanics, and one treats the development of boundary-value problems of mathematical physics (especially potential theory) in the nineteenth century. The book presents an accurate and very readable account of the history of analysis. Each chapter provides a comprehensive bibliography. Mathematical examples have been carefully chosen so that readers with a modest background in mathematics can follow them. It is suitable for mathematical historians and a general mathematical audience. Readership General mathematical audience; mathematical historians.

Intermediate You are here In most school years I teach 8th grade students grade-level math as well as Algebra to accelerated learners. This year I was more anxious than ever. Knowing that the new 8th grade math standards are now more rigorous, and that the students moving straight from 7th grade math to Algebra (hence moving up a full grade level) would need to advance even faster, I knew I had to figure this out. I started by takin My district is in their first full year of implementation and teachers have been working very hard implementing it with integrity to ensure the success of all of their students. As an elementary coach, I spend much of my days directly supporting teachers. My passion and background is in literacy so naturally teachers are tapping me for support in literacy instruction, especially with the EngageNY curricular resources. In Module 4, students extend what they already know about unit rates and proportional relationships to linear equations and their graphs. Students understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations in this module. Students learn to apply the skills they acquired in Grades 6 and 7, with respect to symbolic notation and properties of equality to transcribe and solve equations in one variable and then in two variables. The grade 8 curriculum modules are designed to address CCSS ELA outcomes during a 45-minute English Language Arts block. The overarching focus for all modules is on building students' literacy skills as they develop knowledge about the world. The grade 7 curriculum modules are designed to address CCSS ELA outcomes during a 45-minute English Language Arts block. The overarching focus for all modules is on building students' literacy skills as they develop knowledge about the world. The curricular and instructional resources on EngageNY may be adopted or adapted by schools and districts for local use. Some lessons in the modules provide detailed instructions or recommendations, but it is important to note that the lessons are not scripts. Rather, the lessons should be viewed as vignettes to help the reader imagine how the class could look. These resources are optional and supplemental, and school districts are free to develop or purchase other materials for local use.
Book DescriptionEditorial Reviews From the Back Cover In today's world of increasingly complex engineering problems, powerful new mathematical and computational methods, and enormous computer capacities, you can get overwhelmed by little things you will only occasionally use. Instead, you need to learn how to think mathematically and gain a firm grasp of the interrelationship among theory, computing, and experiment. That's why Kreyszig's text helps you develop a solid understanding of the basic principles and methods of advanced engineering mathematics in all three phases of problem solving: Modeling, Solving, and Interpreting. This best-selling text is known for its comprehensive coverage, careful and correct mathematics, outstanding exercises, and self-contained chapters. Key Features New problem sets. New Computer Experiments, using the computer as an instrument of "experimental mathematics" for exploration and research. The first time I came across this book was when I was appointed Teaching Assistant for a course called "Biomathematics" at IIT. At first, I was bit scared looking at the size of this book. As days progressed, I realized the very deep insight it gives for the UG engg students. The practical illustrations complementing the concepts are the highlights of this book. The 4 star rating is because this book starts with very advanced topics and is not much suitable for self-study. Otherwise, it is a great Math book to have. Highly recommended for any UG/PG student who wants to learn the intricacies of engineering mathematics. This is a NOT a text book for learning engineering mathematics. Its just way too dry. However, it is the single best reference to have next to you while you are working as a scientist, engineer or (as I have found recently) economist. After you leave University, you aren't going to remember all the various expansions, techniques and log rules. Once you are working, you will have this book on your book shelf. This is one of the premiere works in engineering mathematics. Not designed to be a formal text in mathematics, the target audience is the engineering student, as the title implies. The text is very well written and there are a variety of additional solution manuals available. This is a very highly recommended text for the engineering student. It's really sad to know that Professor Kreyszig died unexpectedly on December 12, 2008 during a trip to Europe. Nevertheless, his scientific legacy will remain with us forever. Besides its target audience (i.e., traditional engineers), also I strongly recommend this book to any wannabe financial economist or quant, due to the pedagogical treatment of this book about tons of math concepts and techniques that are bread-and-butter in modern finance (linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, Fourier Transforms, complex analysis, and so forth).The mastery of the material covered in this book is a prerequisite to start the study of stochastic differential equations and other advanced concepts in financial mathematics that are not included in this book. GOOD: This book is useful if you need a fairly comprehensive reference book covering many mathematical topics in engineering. BAD: Most topics are treated too superficially to be useful as a primary learning text. STRANGE TARGET GROUP: If you could only have one math book after you've gone through all your undergraduate engineering courses, this might be a good pick. But that's a silly scenario. Instead, you'll probably be better off with four or five separate books that are focused on their subject. I don't regret purchasing this text, but I got it very cheap overseas... It's really not worth the current $132 price, in my opinion. This really is an excellent text that covers all of engineering mathematics and much, much more. It is a superb reference that will in come useful again and again for anyone working at the analytical end of engineering related fields. It is also entirely appropriate for learning material for the first time. There are very many relevant examples and problems to work through and each concept is carefully discussed and placed in context. Surprisingly, there are number of highly critical reviews about it and I can only conclude these are from people who did not understand what they were buying. The "Advanced" is in the title for a reason. You are expected to have a good knowledge of maths and this should include all basic calculus, so buy it for what it is - an advanced text. Do not expect a coverage of fundamental topics, there are many other good books which cover these. It's exactly what most 4 and 5 star reviews say it is. The only real issue I have that no other review (not even a 1, 2, or 3 star review) mentions is this. The book doesn't provide notes for conceptual pitfalls that can and will arise when reading it. A good example is the word "vector." There are actually 2 types of vectors mentioned: one from the linear algebra camp, the other from the vector calculus school of thought. These two types of vectors are actually quite different. A vector calculus vector almost always refers back to a 2 or 3 dimensional description of the motion or transmission of mass, energy, waves, and particles in a vertical/horizontal plane or in three-dimensional space; whereas a linear algebra vector more-often-than-not represents an arbitrary set of ordered numbers in a 1XN or NX1 matrix that is simply meaningless as a physical vector. Very difficult problems, and somewhat difficult to follow at times, but what can you expect from mathematics of this level? Overall, the book was decent, but that could have done more to make it easier to read and use, like including practical examples, which the book lacks almost entirely.

One of the problems in dealing with three equations and three unknowns is a lack of practice problems. This script provides a new problem set each time which has integer answers.

Product Description Too many students end their study of mathematics before ever taking an algebra course. Others attempt to study algebra, but are unprepared and cannot keep up. "Key to Algebra" was developed with the belief that anyone can learn basic algebra if the subject is presented in a friendly, non-threatening manner and someone is available to help when needed. Some teachers find that their students benefit by working through these books before enrolling in a regular algebra course--thus greatly enhancing their chances of success. Others use "Key to Algebra" as the basic text for an individualized algebra course, while still others use it as a supplement to their regular hardbound text. Allow students to work at their own pace. The "Key to Algebra" books are informal and self-directing. The authors suggest that you allow the student to proceed at his or her own pace. Book 2 covers Variables, Terms, and Expressions. Product Reviews Key To Algebra, Book #2 5 5 2 2 I highly recommend this program to any student This program breaks Algebra into manageable portions for kids to understand. It has plenty of examples for revision. My kids love this program and it makes it easy for them to learn Algebra January 15, 2013 I recently bought the Key to Algebra and Key to Geometry series for my 9and 11yr old home-schooling children. We use the books for self-directed maths sessions for about one hr each per week, in addition to their 'taught' general maths syllabus.I am completely dazzled by these books, they begin at the beginning and very methodically and gently take the child through a very detailed, comprehensive and indeed joyful course. With the odd exception, the child is able to totally self direct. I am surprised by how much is covered in these series and how quickly the child moves on, while still feeling they are 'having fun'! My 9yr old often works on the geometry series in his free time and is now able to discuss with correct terminology, bisecting angles, congruence etc; and I stress this is all self taught. Would say that on completion of these series - which may take us a couple of years - a child would be able to complete the geometry and algebra elements of the UK GCSE public examination - aimed at 16yr olds. I cannot recommend highly enough; I've found nothing like this anywhere else and order from the US - in fact I have ordered other 'Key to' series: metric measurement, decimals, percentages and fractions. The real key to success in maths it is to lay a solid foundation without fear; these books do this and much more. June 16, 2008

The visualization applets can be used in a number of ways:- Instructors can use them to visually demonstrate concepts and verify results during lectures.- Students can use them to explore the concepts visually outside of class, either using a guided activity or on their own.- Instructors can use the main applet (CalcPlot3D) to create colorful graphs for visual aids (color overheads), worksheets, notes/handouts, or tests. 3D graphs or 2D contour plots can be copied from the applet and pasted into a word processor like Microsoft Word.- Instructors will be able to use CalcPlot3D to create lecture demonstrations containing particular functions they specify and/or guided explorations for their own students using a scripting feature that is being integrated with this applet.The guided activities created for this project will provide a means for instructors to get their students to use these applets to actively explore and "play" with the calculus concepts.Paul Seeburger, the Principal Investigator (PI) for this grant project, has a lot of experience developing applets to bring calculus concepts to life. He has created 100+ Java applets supporting 5 major calculus textbooks (Anton, Thomas, Varberg, Salas, Hughes-Hallett). These applets essentially make textbook figures come to life. See examples of these applets at Impacts: This project will provide reliable visualization tools for educators to use to enhance their teaching in calculus and also in various Physics/Engineering classes. It is designed to promote student exploration and discovery, providing a way to truly "see" how the concepts work in motion and living color. The applets and support materials will be published and widely disseminated through the web and conference presentations
More About This Textbook Overview Polynomial operators are a natural generalization of linear operators. Equations in such operators are the linear space analog of ordinary polynomials in one or several variables over the fields of real or complex numbers. Such equations encompass a broad spectrum of applied problems including all linear equations. Often the polynomial nature of many nonlinear problems goes unrecognized by researchers. This is more likely due to the fact that polynomial operators - unlike polynomials in a single variable - have received little attention. Consequently, this comprehensive presentation is needed, benefiting those working in the field as well as those seeking information about specific results or techniques. Polynomial Operator Equations in Abstract Spaces and Applications - an outgrowth of fifteen years of the author's research work - presents new and traditional results about polynomial equations as well as analyzes current iterative methods for their numerical solution in various general space settings. Topics include: Bounds of polynomial equations in Banach space, Banach algebra, and Hilbert space The materials discussed can be used for the following'studies Advanced numerical analysis Numerical functional analysis Functional analysis Approximation theory Integral and differential equations Tables include Numerical solutions for Chandrasekhar's equation I to VI Error bounds comparison Accelerations schemes I and II for Newton's method Newton's method Secant method The self-contained text thoroughly details results, adds exercises for each chapter, and includes several applications for the solution of integral and differential equations throughout every chapter. Editorial Reviews Booknews In addition to presenting new results, and selected old results, about polynomial equations, Argyros (mathematics, Cameron U., Lawton, Oklahoma) analyzes new iterative methods for the numerical solution of polynomial equations in various space settings. His discussion of special cases of nonlinear operator equations focuses on the solution of polynomial operator equations of positive integer degree . Other topics include results on the Chandrasekhar equations, matrix presentations, and completely continuous multilinear operators
MATH OBJECTIVES Introduction Math is not a scatter-brained activity! As God is logical and created man to be logical, the brain and soul experience a sense of agitation when encountering disorder. Math, therefore, must be presented with a well thought out method. Additionally, many math textbooks do not help a student learn a concept well before proceeding on to the next concept. This causes many children to fall behind and give up on math related careers, which God may have originally ordained for them. (According to a 2011 report by ACT Inc. testing, 55% of the U.S. high school graduates who took the ACT test were not prepared for college level math-WSJ: 11-9-11. Additionally, 15-year-old American students ranked 25th when an international math exam was given to their peers in 34 developed countries. This equates to 24 other countries better educating their students in math than in American-WSJ: 11-29-11.) Biblical Perspective Math is a study of Godís order. Discovering and applying Godís mathematical order to life is an important activity for every individual. Math is necessary skill for many areas of study, life, and finances, which mankind can benefit from when used responsibly according to Biblical principles. The study of math also helps students to understand the magnitude of Godís intelligence. A student who gains this knowledge is better able to trust in His wisdom and guidance. Method Math is more understandable when carefully taught. Mrs. Nash's math textbooks are successful at teaching because they: develop strong calculation skills. help a student focus and concentrate. introduce new math concepts in a careful process. apply to everyday life. develop mastery by practice. enhance memory and accuracy. are Bible-honoring. reinforce Godly learning and living. SCIENCE OBJECTIVES Introduction Todayís science presents students with many types of study, because scientific knowledge has grown tremendously over the last two centuries. This presents a challenge to prepare students adequately for high school science where they, for the first time, must study a whole year of chemistry, physics, or biology. Mrs. Nash's middle school science textbook/workbook combinations prepare students not only to feel more at ease with these courses, but also to gain the necessary skills and knowledge for high school science studies. Additionally, her courses are preparatory for careers in many fields, such as engineering, biotechnology, medicine, psychology, chemistry, and physics. (According to a 2011 report by ACT Inc. testing, 70% of the U.S. high school graduates who took the ACT test were not prepared for college level science. WSJ: 11-9-11) Biblical Perspective Science is the study of Godís creation, which He set in motion to function as He ordained and continues to ordain. Therefore, all science studies must help students become better acquainted with God, His ways, and His great mind. They must reveal God's hand and wisdom in all details of the universe. They must help students to come to a deeper understanding of who God is and why science must bow to His majesty. Students must learn to search through Him for all discoveries by asking questions and seeking His answers. Science must teach students how to incorporate and apply Bible truth to their life and decisions. Science must teach the application of Bible truth and values to all scientific study as well as how Bible verses reveal foundational scientific concepts. Method Science is more understandable when carefully taught. Mrs. Nash's science courses are successful at teaching because they:

The MATRIX program is designed to perform and to teach row operation algorithms on matrices. The program can work in a decimal floating-point mode in which calculations are carried out to 18 significant digits, or it can work in a fraction mode with exact rational arithmetic. The fraction mode is more useful for instructional purposes while the decimal mode is more appropriate for scientific or engineering applications. You can easily switch between fractions and decimals at any time. The program can find complete solutions to systems of linear equations, can compute determinants and inverses of matrices, and solve standard and non-standard Linear Programming problems, and can perform some special algorithms which include the Gram-Schmidt Orthogonalization process, and the calculation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors. The program can calculate sets of basis vectors for the kernel, range, and row space of a matrix. The inter-matrix operations include addition, subtraction, and multiplication of matrices as well as scalar multiplication. The program provides easy entry and editing of matrices which may be up to 20x20 in size. Matrices may be re-dimensioned and rows and columns can easily be inserted or deleted. Matrices may be saved to and/or read from disk files. A mouse is recommended but is also optional. Each matrix occupies a window and as many as 9 overlapping windows may be open on the desktop at once. This program works in a text display mode only and does not require any graphics hardware. There is context sensitive help in the file MATRIX.HLP which normally must reside in the same subdirectory as MATRIX.EXE. There is an independent tutorial file, MATRIX.TXT, which is for first-time users. MATRIX.TXT may be imported into any word processor and/or printed on any printer.

Peer Review Ratings Overall Rating: This interactive, applet-based site steps the student through the process of finding the domain of a function constructed from polynomials, and roots and ratios thereof. New problems are generated at the click of a button. Feedback and hints are provided along the way, and links are provided to pages providing explanations of the concepts and techniques involved. Learning Goals: This site is designed to facilitate understanding of the concept of domain of a function, and of some of the reasons a function's domain may fail to be the set of all real numbers. Target Student Population: This site would be useful in either a high school or college algebra class. Prerequisite Knowledge or Skills: The student should be familiar with the concepts of function and domain. Type of Material: Simulation. Recommended Uses: This site would best be used as the basis for a homework assignment or in an instructor-led discussion. Technical Requirements: A Java-enabled browser is necessary. Evaluation and Observation Content Quality Rating: Strengths: There are no apparent mathematical flaws in this site, either in the applet or the linked explanatory pages. The random problem generator works well, generating functions with a variety of domain types (infinite, semi-infinite, finite, with and with endpoints, with and without a single-point "hole" in the interior). The hints provided as a result of an erroneous response were carefully constructed and are very helpful in directing the user to the correct solution. Concerns: None. Potential Effectiveness as a Teaching Tool Rating: Strengths: The major strengths of this site are the graphical, step-wise nature of the required domain determination procedure, and the effective feedback and hints provided during the procedure. The hints go beyond "right" or "wrong, try again". A typical hint might read "Notice the inside of the root is positive for large negative values of x." This is both more useful and more thought-provoking than a simple "wrong". Enhancing the effectiveness of this site is the existence of an associated assignment created by two other authors. Concerns: Not so much a concern as a suggestion – this is such a nice applet that it would be nice to have another one that incorporates other functions (logarithms, exponentials, trig functions, complex Hankel functions of the second kind, etc.) Ease of Use for Both Students and Faculty Rating: Strengths: Using the applet could not be easier. Instructions are simple and clear. Everything works with the click of a mouse. Concerns: None. Other Issues and Comments:

Workshop Description The focus on this workshop will be to provide teachers with instructional opportunities to introduce skills, concepts, and assessment methods that will help develop a content rich class for Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 and Pre-Calculus students that will lead into a vertically aligned AP Calculus and AP Statistics course. A multi-representational approach will be used to look at problems analytically, graphically, numerically and verbally. We will use graphing calculators to reinforce the relationships among these representations of problems and to help assess students' understanding of mathematics from Algebra 1 through Pre-Calculus. We will study the main strands leading to AP Calculus and AP Statistics, including accumulation, area, limits, optimization, rate of change, analysis of functions, and distance/velocity/acceleration. Time will be spent on developing your own pre-AP style problems and looking at already developed pre-AP problems with rubrics similar to those found on the AP Calculus exam. Time will also be spent on best practices in the classroom.

What's new in general maths? General maths being a track for those pursuing business, humanities and paramedical disciplines introduces taxation, depreciation, annuities and loan repayments. Correlation is also an addition to help with probability studies when dealing with data sets. Spherical geometry builds on students' earlier knowledge of geometry of solids. Relative frequency is also a new introduction for statistical studies. Lastly, there is modelling linear and non-linear relationships. Main content of general maths General maths is divided into two parts: a preliminary course and an HSC track. The latter course expands and extends topics learnt in the first one. Financial maths which is the core of general maths includes calculation involving earning and investing money as well as taxation. This is extended in the HSC course with calculations involving credit, borrowing, annuities, loan repayments and depreciations. Data analyses cover topics from data collection and interpretation to statistical concepts of normal distribution curves and correlation. Measurements of area and volume and their applications will be learnt alongside trigonometry of 2-dimensional figures and right-angled triangles as well as geometry of spheres. Probability studies will be introduced with the concept of chance events and then relative frequency. Algebraic skills and techniques will involve modelling linear and non-linear relationships. Common challenges for students in general Maths The high concepts of geometry and trigonometry are common challenges for students studying general maths. Other common difficulties for students include correlation under data analysis and modelling non-linear relationships. Many students in general maths have trouble with understanding and interpreting questions. Questions in general maths tend to be more "wordy" and challenging to interpret in a meaningful way. Main outcomes for general maths At the end of the course, students are expected to be able to undertake financial calculations related to investment, spending, borrowing, repayment, taxation, depreciation and annuities. They should also show proficiency in data collection and interpretation as well as applying the basic principles of probability. Other areas where students are expected to be well tutored are basic algebra (including linear and non-linear relationships), trigonometry (measurements of area and volume) and geometry (2-dimensional figures and spheres). Most important concepts to ensure your child understands in year General Maths It is important that your child understand the topics under financial mathematics, data analysis and probability. An understanding of basic algebra is crucial as it is the bedrock of the other aspects of this year's maths. If hiring a tutor, what study habits and content to focus on in general maths? Since this year is largely about financial mathematics, a real world application of concepts is the way to learn general maths. Get a tutor who can provide ready examples of real financial problems to use in calculations. Exposure to such exercises will ground your child in the understanding of financial terms. Try to encourage seeking more applications in your child's immediate environment. Main challenges involved in tutoring a general maths student Many general maths students believe they will only learn financial mathematics this year. Getting a general maths student to learn the geometry and trigonometry as well may be challenging. This is largely because most of these other topics have been studied to some detail in previous years. Each portion of the course will be examined, so it is important to focus on all the parts. Some good ideas on how to help your child in general maths Provide adequate real-world problems requiring the concepts learnt in financial mathematics. You can even let your child use the family's finances as exercises to help him/her get a good grasp of the course. Hiring a tutor will, however, afford him/her more time and more opportunities to learn and apply their knowledge. It should also be noted that general maths is far less technical than other maths courses. As such many questions focus on the student providing written explanations of answers. It is important that your child is comfortable with "math language". A great way to help with this is to encourage verbal discussion of content and asking the student to explain how they arrived at an answer. What they say about our tutoring: Thank you for the follow up. Sinan is working out fine. He has connected with Matthew well. Matthew has indicated that Sinan is explaining some of the mathematical concepts better than what his teacher is explaining, which is a good start. Hopefully this will translate into a better maths grade. I was very happy with your service and team. I was fortunate to have met two tutors and both were reliable and most importantly helpful. I came to you as I was attracted to your approach and no upfront fees or contracts....you pay for what you receive at very competitive rates. I was particularly impressed with your assessments and reports. The communication is outstanding between client and company as well as tutor and client. I would highly recommend your service. Gabie got to where she needed to and at this stage is doing very well. If she will require any further assistance you will be our first call. Many thanks for everything so far. In response to your earlier email, I am absolutely delighted with Nick. Tabi trusts that Nick can help her and is beginning to deal with the sense of panic she builds up when confronted with problems she is not sure how to solve or techniques taught in class that she did not understand. I can see Tabi beginning to feel more confident and she certainly feels supported by Nick. Just got Tahli's report. She got 55/100 last report and now 73/100 with position of 2/62 in her year. I have thanked Vashika for her work with Tahli and sorry to lose her next year but thanks to Ezy maths for giving my child confidence in maths! Darius is fantastic. He is extremely dedicated and well mannered. He often stays more than 1 hour to make sure Harry understands everything they have covered. Harry has become enthusiastic toward maths and he can already see improvements. Thank you so much for referring Darius, he has been a life saver! Harry got 83% in his yearly maths test. Last year he got 33% so Michael is doing a really good job. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for giving the guidance and support, that we were given for our son Ryan. The tutoring that was provided by Victor was of the highest standard and this showed in Rhys' end of year maths results. Ryan was absolutely thrilled with his results, what a difference a few months makes. I would like to thank Victor for all the support and that making Ryan understand how easy it is to be able to achieve good results. Victor was always very friendly and reliable this helped Ryan settle in quickly. Look forward to continuing in the new year.

Robert Molina Faculty Profile: Robert Molina the study of discrete (and usually finite) objects. In other words, it deals with arrangement of items such as books on a shelf or numbers in a defined set. His interest in mathematics began at an early age, but his math preparation in high school was so bad that he had to take a remedial math class in college. After leaving community college for a job, he chose mathematics as a major when he went back for his bachelor's degree because he wanted to finish in two years. He planned on teaching high school, but his class was so unruly during student teaching that he jumped on his professor's suggestion that he go to graduate school.

What does e + π mean and how can we evaluate it? What is the difference in the meaning of the equals sign between x2 −1 = 0, x2 −1 = (x−1)(x+1), (x2 −1)/(x−1) = x+1 and √x2 = x? What does it mean for a line to be straight? Are there lines that are not straight? In Math 499 we will be addressing these questions and more! In this class we will explore the foundations of mathematics and how we acquire and process mathematical knowledge. We will revisit K-12 mathematics from the point of view of a mathematician. We will explore the roles of metaphors, models, and definitions. We will discuss the use of symbols and see that even in mathematics their meanings are often contextual. We will compare and contrast proofs and convincing arguments and think about the roles they play in developing and understanding mathematics. We will discuss the relationship between mathematics and our physical world and how we use mathematics to understand the physical world. We will consider various algorithms common in K- 12 mathematics and discuss why and how they work. We also will read and discuss the literature on how K-12 mathematics is taught and how we learn and process that knowledge. Throughout the semester, you will also the opportunity to observe and participate in classes at AUGUSTUS HAWKINS High School. This is a new school with a modern curriculum implementing an initiative called the Algebra Project. This class has no prerequisites. In particular, it is not necessary to have taken any college level math classes; you are only expected to know how to count (albeit fairly well!). However, students must be willing to engage with the material at a mathematically sophisticated level. There will be very little lecturing. There will be a lot of discussion, group work, and both oral and written presentations. This class will be valuable for math majors, anyone with an interest in teaching mathematics, and sociology and psychology majors interested in the science of learning.

What is mathematics? Anyone who has taken a science or business course knows one answer: mathematics is a language. In any discipline in which quantity plays a role (such as chemistry, economics, sociology, or engineering) mathematics is used to both communicate and reason. To make oneself understood in any such discipline, and even to comprehend our technological society, one must be able to "speak" mathematics. Mathematics has also been called a science, the science of reason. Perhaps less familiar is the idea of mathematics as art. Mathematicians often speak of patterns and structure of their discipline as "beautiful" or "subtle", and even calculus itself has been said to be "... like the full-rigged sailing ship, a classic expression of Western genius." UCFV mathematics courses cover the range from pre-college algebraic manipulation skills, through the basic calculus, linear algebra, complex variables and differential equations required to understand physics and engineering, the discrete mathematics required for computer science, to the axiomatic development of algebraic systems and analysis in degree-level mathematics courses. UCFV statistics courses deal with the mathematical deductions of probability, experimental design, sample surveys, the analysis of real world data, and the application of simple probability models to predicting and forecasting. Courses cover the range from introductory material for students with Grade 11 math to the generalized linear models and survival analysis used in modern biomedical literature.

MathML Versus Content MathML Summary: A comparison of the two "syntaxes" of MathML: Presentation and Content. This module weighs the pros and cons of each syntax in a variety of teaching situations. There are two "flavors," or synataxes, of MathML: Presentation MathML and Content MathML (or P-MathML and C-MathML, respectively). Both are valid markup and follow the same basic set of rules. P-MathML allows authors to have complete control over how an expression looks: Its size, color, which symbols are used, and the exact position of each object and element. Expressions written in C-MathML, on the other hand, maintain their sense of meaning by using tags that denote operations and how they should be applied. C-MathML preserves the semantics of an expression. If this seems confusing, just remember that P-MML describes how an expression looks, while C-MML describes what an expression does. There are drawbacks to using either P-MML or C-MML exclusively. Consider the following example which demonstrates how an expression might be read back by a screen reader (a tool used by the visually impaired to read on-screen text), depending on whether it was written using P-MathML or C-MathML. Table 1: The semantics of Content versus Presentation MathML Equation Content MathML Presentation MathML ∫Adx=d2dx23⁢B4xA2x3B4 The integral of A with respect to X is equal to the second derivative of the quantity three times B to the fourth power with respect to X. Obviously, C-MML would be much more useful in this case; P-MML cannot convey any useful information about the equation except for how to write it down. There are also cases in which P-MML is the more appropriate syntax of MathML to use. Consider a class of first-year calculus students learning about the derivative. Their instructor needs to write a math worksheet for the class in MathML. There are many ways to write the derivative of FF... F'F' F/dx F-dot ... but this class only knows prime notation at the moment. If C-MML were used to build the worksheet, there is a chance that some students' browsers may display the derivative in the wrong form. Using P-MML, the instructor can specify which derivative notation to use. It is important to consider the audience when authoring MathML. If accessibility and content are not an issue, then P-MML offers a very easy-to-understand syntax for sharing mathematical equations. As a rule of thumb, Content-MathML should be used whenever possible, since it allows expressions to be viewed on a wide range of browsers, platforms, languages, and regions

Algebra Teacher Resources Find Algebra educational ideas and activities Title Resource Type Views Grade Rating When comparing pricing models, young mathematical consumers, create linear equations and analyzing them graphically and algebraically. They look at the meaning of slope and intercepts, as well as the intersection points of lines. Middle schoolers will identify the parts of an algebraic expression by telling the number of terms in one expression. Then they will collect like terms and solve three problems. Next, they will complete a table involving three sets of algebra tile displays, evaluating each with a given value of x. In all they will solve 4 application problems. Answer key is not included. Students investigate the achievements of the Chinese in mathematics. In this algebra lesson, students convert Chinese number and decimal numbers and solve a 3x3 systems of equation. They relate art to mathematics also. Learners understand that algebra is a branch of mathematics that uses symbols or letters to represent unknown numbers in problems. They also understand the definition for an algebraic expression. Make sure to click on the Download the Activity bear so that you can access a top-notch task document that walks learners through the evaluation of algebraic expressions. It can be used as part of your lesson or sent home as reinforcementStudents attempt to make a transition from arithmetical to algebraic thinking by extending from problems that have single-solution responses. Values organized into tables and graphs are used to move toward symbolic representations. How does algebra relate to real life? High schoolers will construct and test computer chips to determine the function of each, and discuss real life applications of the Boolean Algebraic concept. Included are discussion questions, gender equity considerations, web links, a clear procedure, and all necessary worksheets. The format is a slide show. This lesson is all about systems of equations and their graphs. Algebra learners create and solve systems of equation using tables and graphing. They identify the point of intersection of a system of equation, and discover what the solutions are when the lines are parallel or are the same line. Learners study exponential decay and its application to radiocarbon dating. In this exponential decay lesson, students use candy to model the time it takes for something to decay. Learners also graph the data they collect and describe using an algebraic formula that gives the age of an object as a functionLearners manipulate integers quickly to get their answers. In this algebra lesson plan, students play an interactive game as they review basic algebraic operations. They add, subtract, multiply and divide quickly to get the correct answer. How do you show that something is a rectangle? This activity starts with four coordinate points and asks young geometers to explain whether they create a rectangle. Knowledge from both geometry and algebra come into play here, as well as, exploring many different approaches to solve this problem; making this a good small group activity. See how many solutions your class can find! The amount of tax and tip on a restaurant bill is a common example used in percent problems. Here, learners only know the total amount paid, and they need to figure the itemized amounts. Solutions using a ratio table, using knowledge of percents and division, or creating an algebraic expression are all explored. The instructor demonstrates how to plug-in given variables to rewrite an algebraic expression as a numerical expression. Follow the order of operation rules to simplify the numerical expression once you have plugged in those given values. Interpreting algebraic expressions is a fundamental skill in beginning algebra. This lesson plan approaches the task in numerous ways. First, learners assess their understanding with a short worksheet on converting between words and expressions. They then work in pairs to translate between words, symbols, tables of values, and graphic area representations of expressions. Using card sets to match representations keeps them engaged. All or part of this well-written lesson plan could be used to evaluate, or extend your young scholars' understanding.

TH438 Applied Mathematical Modeling Course Description A capstone course intended to culminate the core mathematics major studies and should be taken at or near the end of the program. Discusses principles and methods of constructing, analyzing, interpreting, evaluating, and refining mathematical models. Compares analytic and simulation, discrete and continuous, deterministic and stochastic models. Learning Outcomes Make a difference between mathematical systems and mathematical models. Understand will that there are no general recipes for direct applications to different classes of modeling problems, that the overwhelming complexity of a real life situation does not lend itself to immediate success in a do-it-yourself environment.
I agree with most of your examples. (The notable exception being constraint satisfaction, whose dose of Calculus can be largely replaced with an appeal to common sense.) And to your examples I would add that numerical modelling (applicable in lots of places) often uses calculus very intensely. Lots of areas in programming use calculus, shouldn't we conclude that Calculus should be core for CS? Not necessarily. It isn't hard to see that every area of knowledge could apply to any other area in some way. But no academic program can hope to teach more than a fraction of that information, and so needs to not only direct the firehose of knowledge at students, but also filter it. Trying to not filter is merely choosing to filter based on running out of time, and excess verbiage leaking out of apathetic brains. Given this reality, it is possible to validly disagree on which useful topics make the cut, but it isn't possible to disagree that something potentially useful will be cut. And when that choice comes, subjects that can offer no other reason for their being taught other than that they teach analytical thinking do not deserve to be spared the chopping block. After all, there are many places where students can be exposed to analytical thinking. Include one that does something else for you
In the previous section there were some general tips in regards to homework sets as a whole. Here are some tips to help you actually work the problems. Note that some of the ideas were important enough that they are actually in both sections. Read the Problem. Read the problem to get an idea of what you're being asked to do. This one of the biggest sources of point loss that I've seen in grading. Too many students just skim the problem and assume they know what's going on and what they are being asked to do. Read the Problem Again. Now that you know what you're being asked to do, read the problem again. This time around make note of what you are given and what you need to find. Also make sure that you understand just what you're being asked to do. Clearly Note What You Are Asked to Find. Clearly write down somewhere what you're being asked to find. Clearly Note What You Know. Clearly write down somewhere all the information you've been given. Draw a Diagram. If appropriate draw a diagram and label what you know and what you need to find. Often diagrams will suggest the solution technique, so it's a good idea to get into the habit of drawing them. Devise a Plan. Try to figure out what you're going to need to work the problem. Identify formulas that may help you. See if there are any intermediate steps/answers that will be needed in order to arrive at the final answer. Work a Similar Problem. If you can't figure out how to work the problem find a similar problem that is simpler. Work this then go back and compare what you did in the simpler problem to the problem you're asked to do. Work the Plan. Once you've got the plan, work it out to get the answer. Check Your Solution. Is the answer in proper form? Does your answer make sense? If possible, plug your answer back into the original problem as a check. Go Back Over the Problem. Once you're satisfied that you've got the correct answer go back over the problem. Identify concepts/methods/formulas that were used for the problem. Try to understand why these concepts/methods/formulas were used on this problem. Look for identifying characteristics that will help you identify this kind of problem in the future. Here is a great problem solving flow chart by Eric Austin (a Mechanical Engineer from Clemson University). This flow chart really encompasses all the ideas here in a nice easy to remember process!

Methods of Integration - Substitution Sometimes it is convenient to transform a given integral into another one by means of a change of variable. This method is often called "the method of change of variable" or " u ... Introduction to Integrals of Trigonometric Expressions Trigonometric expressions arise frequently in our work, especially as a result of substitutions. In this section we develop a few examples of trigonometric integrals. The ... Introduction to Volumes by Slicing When we learned the theory of the integral, we found that the basic idea was that one can calculate the area of an irregularly shaped region by subdividing the region into "rectangles." We put the word ... Introduction to Volumes of Solids of Revolution A useful way—and one that we encounter frequently in everyday life—for generating solids is by revolving a planar region about an axis. For example, we can think of a ball (the interior of a sphere) as ... Introduction Arc Length and Surface Area Just as the integral may be used to calculate planar area and spatial volume, so this tool may also be used to calculate the arc length of a curve and surface area. The basic idea is to approximate the length of a curve by ... Introduction to Hydrostatic Pressure If a liquid sits in a tank, then it exerts force on the side of the tank. This force is caused by gravity, and the greater the depth of the liquid then the greater the force. Pascal's principle asserts that the ...
Purpose of the MLRC The purpose of the MLRC is to provide Villanova students with a place to go and be in a mathematical environment. This environment will enable them to work together on group projects, study independently and get help with their freshman and sophomore level math courses. If a student needs to refresh themselves with some high school level math topics the MLRC can provide the resources to do just that. Students are encouraged to use the MLRC regularly as part of their study process. Location of the MLRC The MLRC is located on the 2nd floor of Falvey Memorial Library in room 211.
Professor in a Box Professor in a Box is always discounted at Schoolhouse Publishing! Not every student has a desire to go into traditional higher math, but prefers to pursue other branches of math - such as business math and accounting. Such was the case with my son, Ben, who plans to own his own business in a few years. A business degree is the new "liberal arts" degree. A business degree is so foundational in many college programs. Currently, people with accounting degrees are in great demand. So, I went on a search to find an accounting program. I had certain expectations - a main one being that the program utilized 21st century technology. Every course that I looked at taught business math and accounting using old-fashioned ledger books. What?! Who uses those any more in the business world? What about Excel, QuickBooks, and other tools of the 21st century?! So began my search. I was delighted to find the new Professor In A Box. Created and taught by Villanova U Professor Michael Licata PhD (a top-rated teacher in a top-rated school AND a homeschool dad), PIAB gives you everything your student neeeds to learn 21st Century business math, and it includes a guarantee that your homeschool student will be able to CLEP out of the matching college math course! So, invest now in order to save time and money later! It's a win-win-win
If you're writing a book report on a math person, then almost certainly you are having to write a "women in math" or "minorities in math" report. Personally, I fail to see what a person's chromosomes have to do with a person's accomplishments, but, believe it or not, there are entire books out there written just for these types of book reports. You should be able to find something in your school's library. If, on the other hand, you're really interested in learning about a person's struggles, then I can recommend Robert Kanigel's "The Man Who Knew Infinity", a biography of Ramanujan (pronounced "ruh-MAH-nuh-jinn"). Srinivasa Ramanujan Iyengar was an Indian mathematician, self-taught, whose life was one of hardship, trial, frustration, and early death. His genius was not appreciated until too late, and now we are left wondering what might have been. The biography is rather long, but emphasizes his life rather than his mathematics (that is, you don't need to be a genius to be able to enjoy the book). If you want to read an inspiring book and learn how culture and politics can impact the sciences, then this could be the book for you. Recommendation: high school, homeschool, or college students; but make sure you have the time: this is not the book to choose if you need to have the report completed in a week. If you're finishing algebra and would like to prepare for calculus, then try a little book called "Calculus Made Easy", by Silvanus Thompson. As you can probably guess from the author's first name, this is not a recent book. And it isn't a "standard" presentation. But it covers the ideas of calculus in a way that can give you a good grasp of the concepts. If you have the summer to digest this book before starting calculus in the fall, then this could be a useful little volume, especially if you are going to be taking a "reform" calculus class, which will try so hard to be "conceptual" that it will probably end up being utterly confusing. "Calculus Made Easy" is an affordable paperback with explanations, "useful dodges" (cheats), worked examples, exercises (with answers in the back), and the statement by the author that your calculus instructor will probably hate this book. Recommendation: homeschool or college students, or advanced high school students If you are supposed to do some kind of extra credit project, but your teacher hasn't said what (it's up to you to think of something), then consider reading a book and analyzing its use of numbers. For instance, you could read a book on current events, economics, or politics. You know that such a book will have some numbers in it, just because it will discuss growth rates and populations and money and such. Review the book's positions and arguments, but specifically review the use of numbers. Did the numbers make sense in context? In the light of other research? Were the numbers interpreted sensibly, or did it seem to you like the author was jumping to conclusions, or even trying to scam you? Did the use of numbers seem reasonable, or would you have liked to see more justification of arguments made, or, on the other hand, did an overabundance of numbers just bury you in confusion? For this type of book "review" (as opposed to a mere book "report"), you can use anything in current events, economics, or politics. For instance, I would recommend anything that Thomas Sowell has ever written. Or, if you really want to have some fun with this, find something by P.J. O'Rourke that's heavy on the numbers, such as "Eat the Rich: A Treatise on Economics", and watch your teacher get her panties all in a wad. Recommendation: high school or college students Hey; if you have to invent your own project, it might as well be fun, right?

Science News June 27, 2008 — The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released a five-chapter preview of the much-anticipated online Digital Library of Mathematical Functions (DLMF). In development for over a decade, the DLMF is designed to be a modern successor to the 1964 "Handbook of Mathematical Functions," a reference work that is the most widely distributed NIST publication (with over a million copies in print) and one of the most cited works in the mathematical literature (still receiving over 1,600 yearly citations in the research literature). The preview of the new DLMF is a fully functional beta-level release of five of the 36 chapters. Share This: The DLMF is designed to be the definitive reference work on the special functions of applied mathematics. Special functions are "special" because they occur very frequently in mathematical modeling of physical phenomena, from atomic physics to optics and water waves. These functions have also found applications in many other areas; for example, cryptography and signal analysis. The DLMF provides basic information needed to use these functions in practice, such as their precise definitions, alternate ways to represent them mathematically, illustrations of how the functions behave with extreme values and relationships between functions. The DLMF provides various visual aids to provide qualitative information on the behavior of mathematical functions, including interactive Web-based tools for rotating and zooming in on three-dimensional representations. These 3-D visualizations can be explored with free browsers and plugins designed to work in virtual reality markup language (VRML). Mouse over any mathematical function, and the DLMF provides a description of what it is; click on it, and the DLMF goes to an entire page on the function. The DLMF adheres to a high standard for handbooks by providing references to or hints for the proofs of all mathematical statements. It also provides advice on methods for computing mathematical functions, as well as pointers to available software. The complete DLMF, with 31 additional chapters providing information on mathematical functions from Airy to Zeta, is expected to be released in early 2009. With over 9,000 equations and more than 500 figures, it will have about twice the amount of technical material of the 1964 Handbook. An approximately 1,000-page print edition that covers all of the mathematical information available online also will be published. The DLMF, which is being compiled and extensively edited at NIST, received initial seed money from the National Science Foundation and resulted from contributions of more than 50 subject-area experts worldwide. The NIST editors for the DLMF are Frank W. J. Olver, Daniel W. Lozier, Ronald F. Boisvert and Charles W. Clark. This visual representation of a Hankel function for complex variables in the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions can be explored in three dimensions by Web users. Hankel functions are solutions of Bessel's differential equation, and they play an important role in many problems of mathematical physics, such as heat conduction and wave propagation.

To foster the student's mathematical competence, maturity, and knowledge. We will emphasize algebraic and graphical approaches to college algebra topics such as polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions; systems of equations and inequalities; and matrices. ATTENDANCE Attendance is an important aspect of classroom learning. It provides access to both the teacher's years of experience and the experience and understanding of other students (during discussions and group work). It is in the classroom that we find a sounding board for our conceptualizations of the ideas read in the book. It is also a place where we can hear explanations of topics from the book in a different light (from a different angle). All classes should be attended by the student. CHEATING Cheating is never a good thing. Some people think of cheating as merely copying their friend's (friends') work. Nope. Cheating also includes plagiarism (of your textbook, other books, journals, magazines, Web pages, etc.). Plagiarism is also a federal crime. Cheating earns both parties 0's on the assignment. Continued cheating will result in failure of the course (and may lead to expulsion from the college!). Please turn in your OWN work. It would be a shame for you to fail simply for lack of thinking on your own. The final is cumulative. That is, it will contain problems from through-out the entire semester. It is also a common final. So all 103 sections will take it Wednesday morning of finals week. ASSIGNMENTS Homework sets are assigned to help you study for each test. I will not collect these. They do not count directly toward your grade. But if you don't do them, your performance on the exams will be severely hampered. Each class period either a quiz or a group activity may occur (in addition to the traditional sign-in sheet). All in-class activities can be conducted at any time during the class period. If you do extra credit, you can hand it in at any time — but you must mark it clearly as extra credit. LATE POLICY Due dates are present for a reason. If you do not turn in an assignment by the due date given, credit will be denied. (Reasonable excuses may be accepted so that credit will merely be reduced.)

an idiot for a calculus teacher, but after renting this video it was like lights went on; bells sounded; and the instructor and I were speaking the same language.
