Partial Differential Equations
Methods, Applications and Theories
Overview are organized according to the equations and the basic PDE's are introduced in an easy to understand manner. They include the first-order equations and the three fundamental second-order equations, i.e. the heat, wave and Laplace equations. Through these equations we learn the types of problems, how we pose the problems, and the methods of solutions such as the separation of variables and the method of characteristics. The modeling aspects are explained as well. The methods introduced in earlier chapters are developed further in Chapters Six to Twelve. They include the Fourier series, the Fourier and the Laplace transforms, and the Green's functions. The equations in higher dimensions are also discussed in detail.

College Algebra (Udacity)
How on earth are animals and business related? You've heard it before, but we'll say it again: math is everywhere. In this class, you'll gain an in-depth understanding of algebraic principles, many of which you may have seen before, and learn how to use them to solve problems that we encounter in everyday life. The online version of College Algebra will cover all of the topics that you would see in more traditional class formats, but it will present the material in a way that we hope you'll find fresh and interesting. You will learn about functions, polynomials, graphing, complex numbers, exponential and logarithmic equations, and much more, all through exploring real-world scenariosStatistics is about extracting meaning from data. In this class, we will introduce techniques for visualizing relationships in data and systematic techniques for understanding the relationships using mathematics.
Control of Mobile Robots is a course that focuses on the application of modern control theory to the problem of making robots move around in safe and effective ways. The structure of this class is somewhat unusual since it involves many moving parts - to do robotics right, one has to go from basic theory all the way to an actual robot moving around in the real world, which is the challenge we have set out to address through the different pieces in the course.
This course covers mathematical topics in college algebra, with an emphasis on functions. The course is designed to help prepare students to enroll for a first semester course in single variable calculus. | 677.169 | 1 |

>>7786238 Enjoy it. Math grad working as a java software engineer. I tell you man, software engineer is the new academia, it is so easy. Unless you are in the video game industry: -The workload for a normal day is almost non-existant. If my employers would make a list of all the things I have to do that day and gave it to me in the morning, in about 2 hours I would be done. -It is piss fucking easy. You have to be braindead retarded not to have an easy time programming, specially java. This really raises questions as why would people even waste 4 years studying CS when I spend maybe 6 months casually reading java documentation. -The office is almost a joke. I watch anime, post on 4chan, read manga and watch youtube videos almost all day. The other people here do shit like check facebook and watch sports and other boring shit like that. The point is that if you are smart you can get your shit done in a flash and then spend your time fooling around.
I'm not trying to be a cunt when I say this but, how do you not kill yourself having to use Java? I used it once and thought "fuck this". Seriously it seems like such a chore to get anything done for very little benefit.
>>7787955 Java does suck but a job is a job, and you can't pass on an easy job. Programming in general is easy, but programming in java is ridiculously easy. Also, I don't understand what you are saying. In Java everything is much easier to do because you don't have to worry about memory, or algorithms to do certain things. It is all there,all you have to do is import.
>>7787923 Math undergrad here. How did you get into the programming field with just a math degree? Did you teach yourself how to code or was coding integrated into your degree? I'm genuinely curious as I am currently a math undergrad who is trying to decide what to do with my life.
>>7787972 Like I said, I spent some months reading java documentation. I already had a strong programming knowledge in C/C++ so all I needed was to learn the libraries and adjust myself to the slightly different syntax.
So pretty much basic java:
>>7787979 It was easy but probably because I already programmed before I even entered college. When the time came for job hunting my degree and portfolio carried me.
I say my degree also carried me because math is an in-demand degree in software. There is another math major in the company I work in and he is a 50 year old guy. Keep in mind that this is a small company so he and I would make it a 20% of math majors in the company.
Anyways, my math degree did teach programming but not java, of course. So it is fair to say that all of I know I self-studied, not originally with the purpose of getting a job but it landed me there in the long run.
If you are a math major you will definitely have an easy time learning how to program. At the beginning it is all about simple memorization of key words and after that if you know your math (mainly linear algebra, calculus and geometry) you could immediately go get a job but I'd recommend building a portfolio first because there will always be high competition as CS is oversatured and as such, the software industry is also saturated.
>>7786231 >CS >Dragon book >Ullman >Mfw You should be reading the three volumes of "Compiler Desing" by Reinhard Wilhelm and Helmut Seidl.
>Parsing theory "Parsing theory" by Sippu and Soisalon-Soininen is the best if you wanna learn the mathematical foundations on the subject: once you read both volumes you can read any book on the topic. If you want something that merges theory and practice, the best option is "Parsing techniques: a practical guide" by Dick Grune and Ceriel J.H. Jacobs.
>Automata theory A course in formal language, automata and groups, by Ian Chiswell. Automata, languages and machines by Samuel Eilenberg.
If you want to see the application of all these theories you should read Compiler design in C by Allen I. Holub. The author builds a compiler from scratch.

>>7793084 >Implying that 99.9% of software jobs are not code monkey tier jobs.
Even you so called computer scientists will end up being code monkeys unless you go to grad school.
Also, define code monkey. I use plenty of mathematics in my day (not advanced math, by any means) and it is still trivial because my education was focused in pure and applied mathematics. I also spend a lot of time thinking about algorithms and ways to optimize my work. I don't just code it up without thinking it over.
that's exactly the point. code monkeying is fucking boring, and certainly far from "true academia". I left my part time code monkey job for an undergrad research project because it's that boring. If you don't like to challenge yourself and don't like learning and advancing knowledge then I guess it's ok, but then why are you posting in a board like this?
>>7793722 >far from "true academia" I just said it was the new academia because just like teaching undergrad, programming is retarded-tier easy.
>code monkeying is fucking boring It depends on what you are doing and this is why I wanted for the sperg to define code monkeying. I don't feel that what I do is boring because it gets pretty engaging from time to time, specially because I work alone on my project.
>. If you don't like to challenge yourself and don't like learning and advancing knowledge
Now you just sound like a condescending special snowflake. Fuck off back to tumblr, you sperglord. Why do CS majors have to be so fucking 'special'.
> why are you posting in a board like this Because I am a 'mathematician'. I am more fit to be in this board than you CS people. You are literally half mathematician, half retarded. Fuck off back to /g/.
Now that I have taken care of that to address you being a condescending little shit, I will properly answer. The reason I am where I am is because a job is a job. I get paid very well and it is not as boring as other jobs. I still plan going into graduate school for either a PhD or a Masters to then get into applied mathematics (or pure? I doubt this because I don't feel I'm smart enough) research, which would be the ultimate goal/dream.
Nobody goes to university and wipes out the entire undergrad requirements in a year and a half. Nobody's uni allows them to take nothing but piles of mathematics grad courses for 2 1/2 years of their degree and then graduate.
Nobody goes through Hartshorne and Jech at the same time while taking 3 other classes as a senior undergrad.
If I'm wrong, congrats man, you're the next Von Neumann and I'm a bitter sperg but this just isn't humanly possible.
>>7794267 Well it was 2-3 classes per semester; I just grouped them by year. So for instance I didn't read Jech and Hartshorne at the same time; algebraic geometry was Fall and metamathematics of set theory Spring.
Also, I often feel really stupid in my doctoral program; it seems there are many people who entered the program more advanced and competent than I. Perhaps I have imposter syndrome. But I honestly feel incompetent.
It depends on the kind of company and what kind of office culture you have going on there, When I started working there I was super serious about my work and whenever I had nothing to do I just kept checking things work-related but soon I noticed that people would browse facebook, youtube and one guy even checked his League of Legends account and was watching Jojo's Bizzares Adventure.
After that I also relaxed and on a daily basis I watch anime and read manga whenever I am done with all my assigned tasks.
If your boss also allows that then good for you but I have heard of work environments that are very hostile.
Other than that, programming is easy. Nothing will change that. Read your java documentation, read your algorithms theory book and then sit back and enjoy the ride.
>>7794390 Did you start out with that? I got hired with $65k/year with a standard benefits package.
Also, when you finish work early, how do you figure out how much time you can spend screwing around before actually giving the code to your employer? I assume if you just give it to them immediately, they will immediately give you more stuff | 677.169 | 1 |

Both are deep, readable, thorough and cover a lot of topics with a very modern style and notation. Classical differential geometry begins with the study of curved surfaces in space, such as spheres, cones, cylinders, hyperbolic paraboloids, or ellipsoids. Geometry and topology are two distinct topics, in which the branch of geometry analyzes metric space and the study of topology investigates topological space.
I shall discuss a range of problems in which groups mediate between topological/geometric constructions and algorithmic problems elsewhere in mathematics, with impact in both directions. I shall begin with a discussion of sphere recognition in different dimensions pdf.

The Babylonian astronomers recorded astronomical data systematically and by the Seleucid period (330-125BCE) there were a great many astronomical tablets showing ephemerides for the moon and the major planets. Many of the tablets contain "procedures" or instructions for how to calculate intervals between astronomical events using the properties of simple arithmetic progressions Trigonometry: A Programmed Text The results for Gemini and Cancer differ only in the third place of sexagesimals and the minimum on the graph is interpolated from the results in the table. Similarly the results for Sagitarius and Capricorn indicate the maximum value for the longitude. Looking at the first three sets of sexagesimal numbers: 28, 55, 57, 58; 28, 37, 57, 58 and 28, 19, 57, 58 we can notice that the significant differences in the second place between 55, 37 and 19 are all giving a constant 18, which is the difference in height of the vertical lines on the zig-zag graph (except at the minimum and maximum) By Ron Larson - Algebra and Trigonometry: 7th (seventh) Edition In this report, I will focus on the Common Core Mathematics Standards , cited: Five-place Logarithmic And download here Substitution to solve equations that are quadratic in form, complete square rationalize square root fraction addition, 3rd grade adding and subrtacting, free solving linear equations worksheets.

Course in Combinatorics by J. H. van Lint
Book Description
This is the second edition of a popular book on combinatorics, a subject dealing with ways of arranging and distributing objects, and which involves ideas from geometry, algebra and analysis. The breadth of the theory is matched by that of its applications, which include topics as diverse as codes, circuit design and algorithm complexity. It has thus become essential for workers in many scientific fields to have some familiarity with the subject. The authors have tried to be as comprehensive as possible, dealing in a unified manner with, for example, graph theory, extremal problems, designs, colorings and codes. The depth and breadth of the coverage make the book a unique guide to the whole of the subject. The book is ideal for courses on combinatorical mathematics at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level. Working mathematicians and scientists will also find it a valuable introduction and | 677.169 | 1 |

The easy route to the root of a quadratic equation
Share this
When I asked colleagues which software had really made a difference to their pupils' learning in maths, there were many suggestions. Two programs were mentioned most. The winner of my straw poll is Omnigraph (Pounds 39) from SPA, which has recently been improved to an excellent Windows version.
It is basically a graph-drawing program, but is also much more than that. Pip Huyton, an advisory teacher at the Davidson Centre in Croydon, is enthusiastic about its ability to help pupils bridge the gap between an algebraic and a graphical realisation of a situation.
When used in coursework projects, it can take away the drudgery of repetitive drawing and can allow pupils to explore the underlying mathematics. Pupils can work at their own speeds, following their own investigations, with teacher intervention when necessary. Pip Huyton has used the program with low attainers and says that one of its great attractions is the equality of access it permits. She sums it up as "excellent value for money".
Second on the list is a program that was not devised for use in mathematics teaching, nor indeed for education: Microsoft's Excel. One of the more interesting developments in using IT in mathematics has been the increased use of spreadsheets. There are many things you can do with a spreadsheet; for example, you could use it to record the results of a simple probability exercise, updating it as more and more repetitions are made, and using the graphing facility to display the results.
With older pupils, spreadsheets have been successfully used to explore functions and iterative processes. Angela Bannerman, head of maths at Woodcote High School, is convinced that using spreadsheets has helped her pupils to develop their reasoning skills. Recently some of them were working on the volumes of cones and used Excel to enter the formula so that the effects of changes in the parameters could be easily seen. Searching for square roots, or for the roots of a quadratic equation, can also be easily accomplished with a spreadsheet, where the steps in the iteration are made clear.
The ability of spreadsheets to display results graphically can also be exploited to great effect. The National Council for Educational Technology publishes Thinking about Spreadsheets (Pounds 2.50), a guide to the classroom use of the software. The council has also just published a very clear, free booklet, Primary Mathematics with IT.
I have been following the results of the trials of Independent Learning Systems with great interest and have seen RM's SuccessMaker being used in several schools. Everyone reports positive benefits from its use. Pupils' motivation has increased, and understanding seems to have been greatly helped. The head of maths in one large secondary school told me that there had been a definite improvement in the numeracy of weaker pupils after only a few sessions and that this seemed to be sustained over time.
The program gives instant feedback, with explanations where necessary, and its superiority to previous computer-aided learning systems lies in the way in which it identifies pupils' weaknesses and provides further work on them.
One of the best places to start looking for useful material on the Internet remains that of the Shell Centre at Nottingham University, although I should warn you that I have often found it slow. A welcome addition is the page run by Bryan Dye, entitled MathsNet, which has lots of links to other sites, arranged by topic. SMILE, well known and respected for its software, has at last set up its own site, which also provides a forum for teachers of mathematics.
John Conway, the English mathematician perhaps best known for his invention of The Game of Life, is now based in the United States. He has a wonderful page full of games and puzzles such as the colouring problem. This site provides many possibilities and ideas for GCSE or A-level coursework.
Fibonacci numbers have always held a fascination for many pupils, partly because of their occurrence in nature and partly because of their links to other topics such as the Golden Section. The site on Fibonacci at Surrey University is well worth visiting. And for further exploration of the links between mathematics and art, try the site run by the Kennedy Centre. I learned a lot as well as having fun - what greater recommendation could there be? | 677.169 | 1 |

Mathematical Concepts
Overview
The main intention of this book is to describe and develop the conceptual, structural and abstract thinking of mathematics. Specific mathematical structures are used to illustrate the conceptual approach; providing a deeper insight into mutual relationships and abstract common features. These ideas are carefully motivated, explained and illustrated by examples so that many of the more technical proofs can be omitted. The book can therefore be used:

·simply as an overview of the panorama of mathematical structures and the relations between them, to be supplemented by more detailed texts whenever you want to acquire a working knowledge of some structure
·by itself as a first introduction to abstract mathematics
·together with existing textbooks, to put their results into a more general perspective
·to gain a new and hopefully deeper perspective after having studied such textbooks
Mathematical Concepts has a broader scope and is less detailed than standard mathematical textbooks so that the reader can readily grasp the essential concepts and ideas for individual needs. It will be suitable for advanced mathematicians, postgraduate students and for scientists from other fields with some background in formal reasoning.

The New Math. An Historical Account of the Reform of Mathematics Instruction in the United States of America.
Barlage, Elisabeth
The main objective of this document is to give an outline of the reform movement within mathematics education in the United States from 1951 until the late 1970's. The reform movement is divided into three phases which are distinguished by certain features common to events of the period. The material is divided into the following main chapter sections: (1) Causes of the Reform Movement; (2) The Beginning of Curriculum Reform (1951-1962); (3) The Zenith of the Curriculum Reform (1963-1971); (4) Decline of the New Math; and (5) General Survey of the Entire Reform. Descriptions are given of the main projects, conferences, and other selected events (such as the "Sputnik shock"), various acts related to education, and reaction to the "new mathematics." New goals were set and new methods of teaching mathematics were developed during the period. The movement should be viewed as an evolution rather than a revolution. The study closes with some thoughts regarding future directions for mathematics education. (MP) | 677.169 | 1 |

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1.3 Evaluating Limits Algebraically part 2
This is the third lesson in the Limits Unit. The lesson contains Guided Notes, homework, SmartBoard lesson, and all solutions. Don't forget the added bonus of a math joke embedded into the Smartboard lesson ☺! You may have also opt to purchase the video lesson to the notes.
In this lesson students will learn 3 more methods on how to solve limits algebraically. They will learn basic substitution, how to evaluate infinite limits, and trigonometric limits. By the end of the lesson, students should understand how to recognize an infinite limit and determine whether the graph will head toward positive or negative infinity. They will also learn how to use the special sine and cosine trigonometric limit properties.
I hope you find the notes easy to follow. Please feel free to offer any suggestions on how to make them better as well! Through a community of collaboration, we can find that "sweet spot" for our students and their learning process | 677.169 | 1 |
 Reflection: Grappling with Complexity The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra and Imaginary Solutions - Section 4: Structured Discussion and Notes on the Fundamental Theorem
If students are paying attention, they should take issue with a 'fundamental' theorem that states a truth in direct opposition to what they have learned in the past. For one, it's been drilled into them that the discriminant in the quadratic formula can identify whether the function has one root, two roots, or no real roots. In addition, they will have seen many graphical counterexamples that will challenge their visual understanding of what 'roots' of a polynomial look like.
Wrapping their minds around a rule that says that the number of roots is equal to the degree can be a very complex idea at this point in their studies. I find that it can help to tread carefully, acknowledge (and even congratulate) confused looks, and then remind them that all of mathematics is designed to bring order to chaos. It's a much more elegant idea that a fourth degree polynomial will have four roots - more elegant than saying it might have four or three or two or one or none! The introduction of a new definition, i = sqrt(-1), makes this idea a truth (and not just for fourth degree polynomials)! Keeping this in perspective can help motivate the learning of our new 'imaginary' piece of content.
In Quiz: Factoring Solving, Remainder Theorem, students have the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of factoring higher order polynomials, using the Remainder Theorem to identify roots of a polynomial function, and using the Zero Product Property to solve polynomial equations [MP1].
Resources (1)
Resources
While my students complete their quiz, I write a message on the board about what they should do when they are finished. I want them to take out the homework that was due the previous day, WS Solving Polynomials with the Remainder Theorem. In a different color from the one they used to complete the assignment (hopefully pencil!) I tell them that for each of the four problems, they should write (a) the degree of the polynomial expression in the equation and (b) the number of solutions. They should then consider if there is a pattern to their answers [MP8].
Resources
After students have completed the quiz and had a chance to examine their homework for a pattern in the degree and number of solutions, I ask students to explain any patterns they may have found. It is likely that they will see that the number of solutions is equal to the degree because the equations they were given have all unique, real solutions. We discuss this pattern informally and I then put the following equation on the board for students to solve: x2+4=0. From this, students will see that the number of real solutions is not equal to the degree of the equation, which seems to run counter to the pattern we just discovered.
I write out the version of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra commonly presented in Algebra 2 textbooks, which is that the degree of a polynomial equation is equal to the number of complex solutions, provided that repeated solutions are counted separately. I underline "complex" and the last phrase and write in some explanation of these. I explain that the set of complex numbers includes all the numbers they have learned about and some more. I explain that repeated solutions come from two of the same factors and provide an example with a repeated solution like (x-3)(x-3)=0 [MP6].
I then provide explicit notes on i and simplifying radicals with a negative radicand. I do not yet spend time simplifying powers of i or performing operations on complex numbers because this will take some time.
As an exit ticket, I ask my students to close their notebook and write the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra in their own words on an index card. For homework, they will solve some polynomial equations with imaginary solutions in Solving Equations with Complex Solutions [MP1]. I make solutions to this worksheet available to my students on Edmodo. | 677.169 | 1 |

2007, p. 115). Likewise, a study by Wyndhamm and Saljo found that young algebra learners were more successful in their problem-solving efforts when collaborating in a group environment. According to these researchers, "An experiment involving 14 small groups of Swedish students (usually 3 per group) aged 10, 11, and 12 years shows that these students acting in groups and creating shared contextualizations were able to solve mathematics word problems calling for real-world knowledge. Research has shown students acting alone to have difficulty with the same types of problems" (Wyndhamm & Saljo 1997, p. 361). Other teachers report that algebra story problems can help make learning more relevant to young people's lives. For instance, according to Homann and Lulay, "Algebra story problems are an important practical application of mathematics since real-world problems usually do not arise in terms of equations but as verbal or pictorial representations. The problems are solved by understanding, abstraction, and transformation of these representations into symbolic equational forms which can be solved by algebraic algorithms" (1996, p. 1). Likewise, Laughbaum makes the point that, "Our students see relationships in their lives, but do not know that the study of functions is the tool for analyzing and understanding them. What our students must be taught is to recognize and understand these mathematical relationships in the world they live in now, and will live in as adults" (2003, p. 64). Even here, though, there are some constraints to learning. For example, Dillon and Sternberg emphasize that, "Problem solving involves building a representation of the words of the problem and finding the solution of the problem using the rules of algebra. A major difficulty in students' performance on word problems seems to involve representation of the problem, i.e., moving from the words in the problem to a coherent mental representation of the problem. One major subcomponent in the representation process for word problems in the translation of each sentence" (1986, p. 145).
Critical Evaluation from Own Experience
The argument has been made that some subjects, such as Shakespeare, should not be taught until students reach college because they do not possess the requisite maturity, life experience and interest that are needed to pursue them. The same argument can be made for teaching algebra at the secondary level, of course, but these arguments are misguided and do young learners a disservice. According to Stacey and MacGregor, "Algebra is hard to teach and hard to learn. [However], with commitment it is possible to teach a large proportion of the school population" (1999, p. 58). Therefore, when teachers take the time to explain the fundamentals that are involved in representation in algebra, most students are able to overcome their initial fear of the unknown and make the mental leap that is needed to understand how linear equations operate. In this regard, Staszkow suggests that teachers should seek to eliminate the mystery involved and just explain to students that, "To understand what algebra is all about, you must realize that, in algebra, letters are used to stand for numbers. Just as you operated with numbers in arithmetic, in algebra you simply replace those numbers with letters and work with them" (1986, p. 327). These types of elementary explanations that introduce the fundamental representational concepts that are involved in algebra will likely go a long way in reducing the initial anxiety that can result from being introduced to algebraic concepts that may appear to be so much arcane and unattainable mumbo-jumbo to young learners (Russell & O'Dwyer 2009). As Stacey and MacGregor point out, "Outside the algebra sections of their textbooks, students rarely see algebraic letters used except in formulas or as labels indicating the quantity to be found in diagrams or formulas. Their exercises almost always have numerical (rather than algebraic) answers" (1999, p. 58).
Indeed, some students appear to mirror the adverse reaction to being presented with learning algebra as being a form of severe punishment in the same fashion that humorist Dave Barry did when Sputnik was launched by the Soviet Union in 1957 and his mathematics teacher told his class that, "We would have to learn a LOT more math, as if it was our fault" (1989, p. 139). By helping young learners understand that algebra is not in fact a type of "punishment" and that the rules involved in solving algebraic problems are readily accessible and understandable with some effort, the first step to achieving the mental leap needed to successfully recognize the representational elements involved in algebra will have been made.
Certainly, while it is important to stress the "what's-in-it-for-me" aspects of learning algebra to students, this importance may not be readily appreciated by young learners who may not care a whit about learning algebra just because an adult says it is important for them to do so. A number of valuable goals and outcomes have been advanced in recent years in support of teaching algebra, including the following:
1. To develop student skills in the solution of equations, finding numbers that meet specified conditions;
2. To teach students to use symbols to help solve real problems, such as mixture problems, rate problems, and so forth;
3. To prepare students to follow derivations in other subjects, for example, in physics and engineering; and,
4. To enable students to become sufficiently at ease with algebraic formulas that they can read popular scientific literature intelligently (Wagner & Kieran 1999, p. 12).
Therefore, by making the instructional material relevant to their lives and by drawing on what they already know, though, algebra teachers at all levels of instruction can facilitate the learning process even if students do not appreciate how important the subject matter may be to them in their later lives and professional career pursuits. For example, Stacey and MacGregor report that, "Ideas essential for learning algebra have a place in the primary curriculum, but only in secondary school do students begin formal algebra, which for us is signified. This late introduction reflects the special role of algebra as a gateway to higher mathematics. Algebra is the language of higher mathematics and is also a set of methods to solve problems encountered in professional, rather than everyday, life" (1999, p. 58). This point is also made by Wagner and Kieran who emphasize that, "All mathematics instruction and algebra instruction in particular, should be designed to promote understanding of concepts and to encourage thinking. Drill and practice should be required whenever necessary to reinforce and automatize essential skills. but, whenever drill and practice are required, students should always have a clear understanding of why the particular skill is so important that its mastery is required" (1999, p. 12).This is not to say, of course, that algebra teachers must resort to "tricking" students to learn, but it does mean that different students will learn in different ways and there is a need to provide an individualized approach to teaching the representational aspects of algebra.
Most classroom teachers can readily testify that they are able to identify the point at which students achieve the "a-ha" moment in learning, where they make the mental connection between the curricular offering and comprehension. In this regard, Tall and Vinner (1981) advise that the mental leap described above can be conceptualized in terms of the "evoked concept image" which will vary for different students: "At different times, seemingly conflicting images may be evoked. Only when conflicting aspects are evoked simultaneously need there be any actual sense of conflict or confusion. Children doing mathematics often use different processes according to the context, making different errors depending on the specific problem under consideration" (Tall & Vinner 1981, p. 152). Moreover, different students can achieve successful academic outcomes by using different problem-solving methods, including those preferred by the teacher. In this regard, Tall and Vinner emphasize that, "For instance adding 1/2 + 1/4 may be performed correctly but when confronted by 1/2 + 1/3 an erroneous method may be used. Such a child need see no conflict in the different methods, he simply utilizes the method he considers appropriate on each occasion" (1981 p. 152).
Once the initial mental leap regarding these representational aspects is achieved, teachers can apply a more standardized approach to the entire classroom, but helping individual learners get started is an essential requirement for success -- even if this means taking the time to tutor struggling students or arrange for peer mentors to help them in the process. In this regard, it is educationally axiomatic that, "If students aren't learning the way I'm teaching, then I must teach the way they learn." Unfortunately, some parents lack the basic background in algebra needed to help their children in this area, making the classroom the only place where young learners can acquire this important knowledge. Therefore, it is incumbent upon classroom…[continue]

Albert Einstein, a famously mediocre student, once commented that "It is little short of a miracle that modern methods of instruction have not completely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry." Many educational theorists and gifted teachers have taken this to heart, and endeavored to create learning environments that reflect innovations that are both intuitive and ingenious. Unfortunately, we often see these same innovations stifled at the High School level. Whereasrelearn several mathematical concepts and learn how to instruct other about them. It also became necessary to learn the different components of educating students on math based upon their current knowledge and abilities and how the teacher will evaluate the students to make that determination. Not only did I learn how to teach the subject, but I was also instructed on how to submit and fulfill standards. In short,

In this debate, my opponent is to take the stance that grade 11 math should be required in Canadian high schools. I will say that I do believe this course should not be offered, but not mandatory.
Definitions:
Mandatory - authoritatively ordered; obligatory; compulsory (1)
High school - A secondary school that usually includes grades 9 or 10 through 12. (1)
============================
Argument 1: When applying to University, they regard at your grade 11 marks
============================
This argument more applies to students in a nonsemestered school, but it both cases it works. When applying to Universities, you usually apply around November, in either your grade 12 or 5th year. Since it is only 3 months into school, grade 12's do not have marks that reflect their ability as of then. In resolution, most universities look at their grade 11 marks and average. Due to the fact that grade 11 math is mandatory, it may bring down a students average and may hinder on the students profile.
=========================
Argument 2: Some math is not very relative to reality
=========================
An example of a high school grade 11 math curriculum is as follows(2):
1.Algebraic Skills
2.Transformation of Functions
3.Quadratic Functions
4.Rational Exponents and the Exponential Function
5.Trigonometric Ratios
6.Trigonometric Functions
7.Trigonometric Equations and Identities
8.Sequences and Series
Unless you want to study in a field that is math related, these units seldom affect every day life, for this reason, I think it should not be mandatory. How often do you see f(x) in your daily life routine? or the quadratic formula? These things are forgotten very often with age due to the fact that it is not used on a daily basis, or at all. We should not be forced to study something that is so complex to some. If it is not used on a daily basis, I myself do not see why it should be mandatory.
==============
Argument 3: Math is meticulous
==============
Most of the grade 11 math concepts are already introduced in the mandatory grade 10 curriculum. This means that you have the knowledge of some of the grade 11 curriculum and the grade 11 course builds on that knowledge. It should be your free will to want to explore more into the field of math, not forced upon us. As for grade 9 and 10, they mostly introduce new material, so for this reason only they should be mandatory. Also, if the grade 11 math course is to build upon and further the knowledge of the grade 10 course, say if you did not comprehend grade 10 math very well, you do not have much to build on. Hence why again, it should be an elected course, not compulsory.
================
Conclusion
================
In conclusion, I have given three valid arguments as to why grade 11 math should not be mandatory in Canadian high schools. The course should be taken under free will and not have to be forced upon students while attending high school.
I affirm that 11th Grade math should be required in Canadian high schools
I would also like to accept both of my opponents definitions as being accurate.
Argument 1 - High school's objective is not to make students look like they are mensa-level geniuses on their high school transcripts. It is to build the foundations for real life, and to give college students an upper-hand when it comes to taking on college courses. Contrary to some subjects Math uses a different aspect of the mind, logic. The ability to reason and take variables and decide which course to take to come up with a correct solution. Math is designed to weed out students who don't work hard or study hard enough. While some people may have a natural advantage in math, those same people may not have an advantage in another subject. Why should math be voluntary but another subject be mandatory? Should we not all be subjected to the different aspects of knowledge?
Argument 2 -
I consider reality to be all of the following: Work (the math you stated applies to Physics, Accounting, Architecture, Engineers, Pharmacists, Those working in a business, Criminal Justice, Forensic Investigation, etc. A large quantity of the top performing jobs in America require the math concepts you just illustrated.), Making a budget, writing your own retirement plan. Furthermore, highschool calculus, and highschool physics courses rely a great deal on skills 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
If you make math mandatory as is natural with any student looking to get into a better college will select 2 incredibly easy electives that will teach them nothing in order to get better grades.
"Unless you want to study in a field that is math related"
My opponent in this statement is presuming to make the conjecture that over half of 11th grade high school students will keep the same major.
About 25 percent of college freshmen enter as undeclared, according to Issues in Advising the Undecided College Student.
"Although some students simply don't declare a major, others have a certain major at the start of college and a different major at the end.
For instance, April Navarro of Crest Hill, a graduate student at University of Illinois in Chicago, wanted to major in psychology, or so she thought. "I ended up changing my major three times. I changed from psychology to history and finally to criminal justice," she said.
Randy M. Miller, chairman of ReadyMinds, a program that counsels college students, said that changing college majors is common. He said 75 percent of students change their major at least once. "
SOURCE:
CONCLUSION
Thus, with the plurality of college students being unsure of their major/changing it, why on earth would we not mandate a subject which is crucial to the majority of majors and jobs? By not mandating algebra, most highschool students will not take it because of its difficulty, this will increase the average GPA of students nation-wide which will in turn make useless my opponents main argument against it.
I will not even respond to the third argument because it is whining and is purely opinionated. It is not factual and thus has no place in this debate. I thank my opponent again for his argument and would like to wish him luck with the rest of the debate.
Thank you to my opponent for accepting the debate, although I would like to point out that I am of the female sex, but that is irrelevant to the debate.
Argument 1 - In the above you state ' Contrary to some subjects Math uses a different aspect of the mind, logic'. I agree that Math uses logic, but in turn so does Chemistry and Physics, which are elected courses, not mandatory. I am simply saying that Math should go under the same circumstances as being an elected course. The following statement is a personal belief; ' Math is designed to weed out students who don't work hard or study hard enough'. No where is it stated on any curriculum that this is the purpose of the course. Students may do their homework and study in every other course EXCEPT math. Does that make them a student whom 'doesn't study hard enough'? As.
.
Argument 2 -
Your opinion from reality and my opinion from reality differ. Not all occupations entail high level math on a daily basis. I would like to dispute your reference to Accounting due to it uses Math that is learned earlier on in life, such as adding subtracting etc. It does not use complex formulas such as some of the examples I stated above. For your reference to 'Making a budget', there are people whom have jobs to do so. If people wanted to create such things, they would plan on taking the ELECTED grade 11 math to help with such various thing, but every individual creation that you had stated can be done by someone whom is employed to do so and has chosen to take that path of mathematics.
I also do not dispute the fact that students change their majors very often, but I am saying it should be the students choice as of grade 11 whether or not they would prefer to expand their knowledge on mathematics, or choose not to do so.
Argument 3-
This argument is against your conclusion. You conclude that 'most high school students will not take it', which I beg to differ. If they have planned out their potential career, they would have possibly looked into requirements for the program, and if math was needed, they would most likely take it.
I disagree that my last argument was 'whining' and is 'purely' opinionated. Ask any math student or teacher and you will realize that some math is meticulous. Students just don't learn Algebra right off the bat, they expand off of previous lessons to achieve the higher level of math, hence being meticulous. But my opponent feels the need to drop it, so it will be dropped.
Argument 1 - My opponent agrees that math uses logic however he suggests that Physics and Chemistry make use of logic and are not mandatory thus we should have no mandatory subject that deals with logic. What my opponent fails to understand is that Physics and Chemistry do not make use of logic, instead they make use of math, particularly math 11 (algebra in chemistry, trigonometry in physics).
"Students may do their homework and study in every other course EXCEPT math."
Ahh but in other subjects homework and studying consists of memorization. Math consists mainly in terms of practice with logical concepts.
"As."
One cannot understand the sciences without a proper understanding of math, particularly math 11. Math as I explained is applicable in a variety of fields that are not a math major. My opponent quite advantageously ignored this part of my debate which says: "the math you stated applies to Physics, Accounting, Architecture, Engineers, Pharmacists, Those working in a business, Criminal Justice, Forensic Investigation, etc. A large quantity of the top performing jobs in America require the math concepts you just illustrated."
My opponent also misunderstood the meaning of upper-hand either mistakenly or purposefully to advance him in this debate. Let me define:
Upper-hand: Given an advantage over
In this case if one were to have the upper-hand because of their math skills, their math skills would be better than that of their opponent.
"."
What you believe is irrelevant to this debate. Math and English are directly applicable to real life in addition to a wide variety of majors which is why they are mandated. They are also difficult subjects which other students would not take unless mandated.
Argument 2
"Not all occupations entail high level math on a daily basis"
I never stated that all occupations used a high level of math on a daily basis, so I don't know why you would accuse me of such. I said that math is used by a wide volume of majors and has a wide variety of applications in life. Upon listing many places where math is applicable you dismissed them as being useless because other people "have jobs to do so" However with this line of reasoning, everything in life becomes useless.
"If people wanted to create such things, they would plan on taking the ELECTED grade 11 math to help with such various thing"
"If they have planned out their potential career, they would have possibly looked into requirements for the program, and if math was needed, they would most likely take it.
You completely ignored the factual evidence that shows that the majority of 11th grade students have no clue what they want to do and the ones who do change their mind. As stated above 25% of students enter college undeclared, and 75% of college students change their major. You are making a false assumption that everyone in high school has their entire future mapped out. I think even you can agree that this assertion is entirely false. You have ignored that part of my debate, perhaps for your own advantage.
I would like to state as the last part of my debate that I do not ignore facts presented by the opposition on purpose, or to 'suit' my advantage, it was merely overlooked and I apologize for doing so.
Argument 1 -
I strongly disagree with your statement that Physics and Chemistry do not use logic, and I have present a source that as well agrees. 'Science uses logic to a great advantage. Like math, science uses abstractions to make sense of reality and then applies logic to these abstractions.' (1) You were correct that they make use of math, but they have their own logic as well. With Chemistry, you also use more simple math that you have already learned in previous years, or else the course would not be offered until after the completion of grade 11 mathematics, which this is not the case.
My opponent comes off as though he believes memorization is not one of the many key elements what so ever in math, when in reality it is. 'Problem-solving skills as well as a foundation of 'math facts' that come from memorization'(2) 'Many people think that once they take a glance at a formula, it is in their mind, but when they wake up the next day, they are shocked to realize that the formula leaked out during the night. This is why it is a good idea to practice solving a problem with the formula without looking it up. You must do this as many times as you can. Repetition leads to Memorization. ' (3)
This statement agrees with and refutes my opponent. The last line says it all; Repetition leads to memorization. So in essence, Math can be characterized with memorization as well.
I am going to drop the argument over the 'upper-hand' due to its the last round and I do not find it that relevant.
Chemistry is applicable to real life, glucose is C6H12O6. This applies to real life scenarios but is it mandatory? No. Is it an elective? Yes. So why should Maths not be characterized under this standard as well. You say that Math and English are 'difficult subjects'. I will refute this due to that's a personal opinion and that is irrelevant to this debate. It is in the eye of the beholder.
I did not intentionally accuse you of saying all occupations use a high level of math. It was meant as a statement. But you seem to intentionally accuse me of saying they are useless jobs, when I have never said that through out this debate. Please refer to round 2 to inform me if I am wrong. I believe all these jobs play a vital role in life, all of them are used at some point in a lifetime or else they would not exist as an occupation.
I agree the assertion that 'everyone' doesn't have their life planned out, but that was not my point. If a student does not excel at math and doesn't enjoy it, they would most likely refrain from entering a field such as that entails it. Hence why, math should be an elective, not a mandatory grade 11 course.
I would like to thank my opponent for her continuous prompt responses which have made this debate an intense short process instead of a boring drawn out one.
My opponent agrees that math is used both in chemistry and physics. While she can strongly disagree all she wants and produce weak sources that primarily state an opinion, Physics and Chemistry's prime source of logic is divined from math. She never states what "their own source of logic" actually is. Also anyone who has taken chemistry knows that it requires advanced algebraic concepts which my opponent stated was a part of Math 11.
My opponent apparently has also misunderstood my point about math. One can memorize all the formulas they want, but if they do not know where they apply and to what type of problem they are utterly useless. One cannot memorize the way to do a trigonometric proof. They are each different and each require logic to sort out and work backwards. One weak source that makes a point about the memorization of equations does not mean that math is pure memorization.
If your only example that chemistry is applicable to real life is that glucose is C6H12O6, then I'm afraid I don't see or understand your point? How is that helpful or applicable?
When I said math and english are difficult subjects, meaning they are difficult in contrast to easy electives that will be taken in their place such as culinary arts, or media. In no place in this debate did I even make reference to the fact that you said that the jobs were useless. I was simply making a point that if you dismiss life skills because "there are jobs for that" then everything in comparison becomes useless as jobs can be made for any life skill. Sure you can hire someone to drive your car for you, but are you saying it is useless to learn to drive a car?
It does not matter whether or not it was your "point". The argument that 11th graders have no clue about what their major or job will be and the evidence that supports it plays a crucial role in this debate. By advocating that an 11th grader should have a choice in deciding their high school courses (which the gist of your argument was because it requires too much work and gives you a bad grade) you are essentially saying that 11th graders know what their major selection will be and whether or not it will entail math based on the fact that they did like/did not like their high school trigonometry course which can be entirely subjective on the teacher, school, etc.
By agreeing that 11th graders can't see into the future to their jobs/future likes/major decisions, you are basically saying that students have no clue what they want to do, but its ok to let them severely limit their major, and sub-sequentially their future job choices based upon their 11th grade likes and dislikes and their fears about there high school transcripts.
My opponent is basically allowing 11th graders to make crucial life decisions that will effect them farther down the road when they want to select a major and eventually select a job. Even if there minds change they will not get into their major/job because they will not have the math knowledge. She would allow 11th graders to be swayed away from math because they "aren't naturally good at it" or perhaps fear for their college transcripts, or maybe they just don't want to work because the work is "too tedious". For whatever reason, my opponent has provided no good reason to support his affirmation that hasn't been defeated by me, the CON. Thus I respectfully urge all voters to vote CON because the PRO did not thoroughly support her resolution, and instead has decided to ignore crucial attacks upon her resolution because it wasn't her "original point".
I would like to thank my opponent for my first debate as well, and would like to welcome her to Debate.org
They make it mandatory because the skills you build in problem solving and critical thinking CAN help you in everyday life after you're finished with high school. The same goes with sciences and other courses that require you to think critically.
In Alberta, they removed the written response sections on the Math and Science Diplomas because anybody can reason the answer of a multiple choice question using the critical thinking/problem solving skills that they acquired through these courses.
I appreciate your reasons for your opinion daniel_t, it really adds and helps me and my opponent improve. You should continue such insightful comments on any other debates you have voted on, because they can only improve everyone on this site.
I gave the "more convincing arguments" to pro and "most reliable sources" a tie. Frankly though, I don't think Con's source supported his argument very well while pro's did.
I'm going to assume that johngriswald, at least, wants more detail than the above...
Pro's argument 1, IMHO was pretty weak. Colleges don't just look at your GPA, they also look at *what* courses you took. Who's to say that a college is going to be more likely to accept someone with a slightly higher GPA who didn't take 11th grade math? Unfortunately, Con didn't attack the argument's lack of evidence, instead he took it as a given and argued along the lines of "Why should math be voluntary but another subject be mandatory?" Neglecting the fact that Pro never claimed that any other subject should be mandatory.
Pro's argument 2 was much stronger. She outlined specific skills taught and sourced the information. Frankly, it has been my experience that her assertion here is correct, even for me who happens to program computers for a living. Con could have provided sources that denied Pro's assertion, but since he didn't I can only rely on my personal experience.
Con never addressed pro's argument 3 which was also pretty strong, and I am running out of space. Con's principle argument was that most professions require math (with no source to back that up,) and kids don't know what they are going to be doing 5 or 10 years later. Without sources to back up the former, I have to go with my experience which says he is wrong; and for the latter, 30 year olds don't know what they are going to be doing 5-10 years in the future either so I don't see where that matters.
I would appreciate some reasons for decisions for all votes cast. Don't just randomly vote as that benefits no one. Give reasons so both debaters can learn from their mistakes and learn what they did right/wrong. Make this site better by giving reasons for your decisions.
No, it does not matter what sex I am, and I beleive that people are not voting based on that. They gain nothing by doing so.
and thank you nails, I noticed that as well.
It is just common courtesy. It really doesn't matter anyway.
Does it really matter what sex my opponent is, seriously? If that is what you're basing your vote on, do me and the rest of this website a favor and refrain from voting in the future. The debate should be judged based upon the content of the debate and the validity of the arguments being used.
I suppose that being in engineering my view is a bit biased, but i remember having a similar mindset when I was in high school (thinking that what we were being taught wasn't relevant to real life applications). But the fact of the matter is that math is one of a very few number of subjects taught in high school that forces you to actually understand the concepts and not just memorize things from a textbook.
I don't know what you plan on doing in the future but any form of science, economics/business will rely fairly heavily on the basics taught in grade 11 (and 12) math. Even if you're not directly proving trig identities or graphing exponential functions, the value of math is that it forces you to understand a problem before trying to tackle it.
BTW, im sorry if I came off as a bit of an @sshole in my last post, age has nothing to do with it, its just a matter of experience and mine has led me to a conclusion that's different then yours. But i guess hindsight is always 20/20. Good job on your first debate. | 677.169 | 1 |

Statics and Dynamics with Background Mathematics
Overview
This book uniquely covers both Statics and Dynamics together with a section on background mathematics, providing the student with everything needed to complete typical first year undergraduate courses in these areas. Students often find Statics and Dynamics difficult subjects, since the skills needed to visualize problems and handle the mathematics can be tricky to master. Roberts' friendly approach makes life easier for both student and tutor, tackling concepts from first principles with many examples, exercises and helpful diagrams. The inclusion of a revision section on introductory mathematics is a huge bonus, allowing students to catch up on the pre-requisite mathematics needed to work through both courses.…

Matrices in Engineering Problems
4.11 - 1251 ratings - Source
This book is intended as an undergraduate text introducing matrix methods as they relate to engineering problems. It begins with the fundamentals of mathematics of matrices and determinants. Matrix inversion is discussed, with an introduction of the well known reduction methods. Equation sets are viewed as vector transformations, and the conditions of their solvability are explored. Orthogonal matrices are introduced with examples showing application to many problems requiring three dimensional thinking. The angular velocity matrix is shown to emerge from the differentiation of the 3-D orthogonal matrix, leading to the discussion of particle and rigid body dynamics. The book continues with the eigenvalue problem and its application to multi-variable vibrations. Because the eigenvalue problem requires some operations with polynomials, a separate discussion of these is given in an appendix. The example of the vibrating string is given with a comparison of the matrix analysis to the continuous solution.

Arithmetic for Teachers
4.11 - 1251 ratings - Source
Excellent teaching of mathematics at the elementary school level requires that the teacher be an expert in school mathematics. This textbook for prospective teachers presents topics from the K-6 mathematics curriculum, but at a greater depth than is usually found in the classroom. The added knowledge that comes from this approach gives the teacher essential insight into how the topics interrelate and where difficulties might lie. With this deeper mathematical preparation, the teacher is better able to explain concepts, demonstrate computational procedures and lead students through problem-solving techniques. The primary focus is on the foundations of arithmetic, along with a selection of topics from geometry and a wide range of applications. The number line is used throughout to visualize concepts and to tie them to the solution of problems. The book emphasizes how to explain the concepts and how to explain problem solutions. This is a textbook for a college course in mathematics for prospective elementary school teachers. It will also be a resource for the instructors of such courses.Theorem 4.53 (Unique Prime Factorization). If n is a natural number greater than

Review:
From the reviews:
"The book is aimed at beginning university students as a introductory calculus textbook … . Undoubtedly it is a clearly written exposition of the most typical topics of calculus ... full of good examples, with plenty of exercises and answers to them. ... Summing up, the reviewed book is a decent item, which might be recommended not as a main textbook for an introductory calculus course, but as a additional source mainly for practising typical procedures of differentiation and integration." (Piotr Zarzycki, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 92 (525), 2008)
From the Back Cover:
Understanding the techniques and applications of calculus is at the heart of mathematics, science and engineering. This book presents the key topics of introductory calculus through an extensive, well-chosen collection of worked examples, covering;
algebraic techniques
functions and graphs
an informal discussion of limits
techniques of differentiation and integration
Maclaurin and Taylor expansions
geometrical applications
Aimed at first-year undergraduates in mathematics and the physical sciences, the only prerequisites are basic algebra, coordinate geometry and the beginnings of differentiation as covered in school. The transition from school to university mathematics is addressed by means of a systematic development of important classes of techniques, and through careful discussion of the basic definitions and some of the theorems of calculus, with proofs where appropriate, but stopping short of the rigour involved in Real Analysis.
The influence of technology on the learning and teaching of mathematics is recognised through the use of the computer algebra and graphical package MAPLE to illustrate many of the ideas. Readers are also encouraged to practice the essential techniques through numerous exercises which are an important component of the book. Supplementary material, including detailed solutions to exercises and MAPLE worksheets, is available via the web. | 677.169 | 1 |
latest edition in the highly respected Swokowski/Cole precalculus series retains the elements that have made it so popular with instructors and students alike: its exposition is clear, the time-tested exercise sets feature a variety of applications, its uncluttered layout is appealing, and the difficulty level of problems is appropriate and consistent. Mathematically sound, ALGEBRA AND TRIGONOMETRY WITH ANALYTIC GEOMETRY, CLASSIC EDITION, 12E, effectively prepares students for further courses in mathematics through its excellent, time-tested problem sets.
Features and Benefits
Great care is taken to explain each concept and include step-by-step comments in the solutions of the examples. Many examples are accompanied by graphs, figures, charts, or tables to help students interpret graphical data.
The text provides many topical examples showing how mathematical concepts have real-life applications. New applications relate to such diverse topics as the freezing level in a cloud, the number of handgun homicides, the cost of an advertisement during the Super Bowl, the number of Medicare recipients, and the effect of the ozone layer on skin cancer.
Each exercise set begins with drill problems and then progresses to more challenging problems.
Exercises involving graphical approximations to solutions have been given increased attention.
What's New
Packaged free with each book, the Interactive Video Skillbuilder CD-ROM contains more than eight hours of video instruction, featuring a 10-question Web quiz per section (the results of which can be emailed to the instructor), a test for each chapter with answers, and MathCue tutorial and quizzing software.
Discussion exercises have been added at the end of each chapter to promote further exploration of concepts and group-work.
New figures help students visualize concepts and interpret data.
Many new exercises have been added, including, in response to reviewers' suggestions, more exercises that ask students to demonstrate an understanding of the conceptual relationship of an equation and its graph.
The section on inverse functions now appears at the beginning of Chapter 5, rather than toward the end of Chapter 3. This moves the topic closer to its first use (with exponential and logarithmic functions).Meet the Author

Intermediate Algebra: Connecting Concepts through Applications
4.11 - 1251 ratings - Source
INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA: CONNECTING CONCEPTS THROUGH APPLICATIONS shows students how to apply traditional mathematical skills in real-world contexts. The emphasis on skill building and applications engages students as they master concepts, problem solving, and communication skills. It modifies the rule of four, integrating algebraic techniques, graphing, the use of data in tables, and writing sentences to communicate solutions to application problems. The authors have developed several key ideas to make concepts real and vivid for students. First, the authors integrate applications, drawing on real-world data to show students why they need to know and how to apply math. The applications help students develop the skills needed to explain the meaning of answers in the context of the application. Second, they emphasize strong algebra skills. These skills support the applications and enhance student comprehension. Third, the authors use an eyeball best-fit approach to modeling. Doing models by hand helps students focus on the characteristics of each function type. Fourth, the text underscores the importance of graphs and graphing. Students learn graphing by hand, while the graphing calculator is used to display real-life data problems. In short, INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA: CONNECTING CONCEPTS THROUGH APPLICATIONS takes an application-driven approach to algebra, using appropriate calculator Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.Third, the authors use an eyeball best-fit approach to modeling.

Course description
Numerical methods and their analysis are a mathematical discipline based on mathematical tools from analysis and algebra. At the begin oft he course, the most important mathematical tools are introduced – this is basic for the understanding of particular methods. Numerical algorithms work in floating point arithmetic. The properties and pitfalls of this kind of computations are discussed. In the main sections on numerical methods, basic techniques like polynomial interpolation are discussed first, since these prerequisites for designing more advanced methods like integration or differential equations. Then the course focuses on basic techniques for computer graphics (splines) and methods for the solution of dynamic (differential) equations for (virtual) objects and their simulation on the computer. In the section on numerical linear algebra it is shown how solution algorithms for systems of linear equations and related problems are implemented and how to use the respective software. The typical matrix-oriented terminology is illustrated by means oft Matlab as a standard software tool. Practical exercices focus on the solution of smaller application-oriented problems on the digital computer. Basic algorithms can be programmed by the students, and for more advanced computations we use a standard tool, e.g., Matlab. This also enables the visualization of solutions and simulations.

Mathematics Curriculum Framework - November 2000
Introduction
When we cannot use the compass of mathematics or the torch of experience … it is certain that we cannot take a single step forward.
- Voltaire
The 2000 Mathematics Curriculum Framework is one of seven sets of standards created to advance educational reform in Massachusetts. It is the work of teachers and administrators in pre-kindergarten through grade 12, mathematics education professors, university mathematicians, and community members working with staff from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Organization of the document
The guiding principles articulate a set of beliefs about teaching, learning, and assessing mathematics in Massachusetts. Five strands organize the mathematical content: Number Sense and Operations; Patterns, Relations, and Algebra; Geometry; Measurement; and Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability. At the beginning of each strand are the broad concepts from NCTM Standards 2000; they guide the clustering of the learning standards in that strand. In grades PreK-6, each of the broad concepts is identified by an icon (, , , ), and the icon at the end of each standard indicates the NCTM concept to which it is linked. Because the standards are grouped by broad concepts, the order in which they appear in each grade span is not necessarily the order in which they might be taught.
The learning standards are organized by two-year grade spans or for single-year courses. The grade spans are PreK-K, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, and 11-12, and the courses are Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and Precalculus. Each learning standard in each grade span or course has a unique identifier that consists of:
For example, standard 4.G.6 is the sixth standard of the Geometry strand in the grades 3-4 grade span. Standard AI.P.12 is the twelfth standard of the Patterns, Relations, and Algebra strand in the Algebra I course. This numbering system allows teachers to also organize the standards by grade span. For example, sixth grade teachers preparing their curriculum can distinguish grades 5-6 standards in each strand by identifying all of the standards beginning with a 6.
The learning standards specify what students should know and be able to do as learners of mathematics at the end of each grade span or course. Students are held responsible for learning standards listed at earlier grades as well as their current grade. Following the standards are selected problems and activities that clarify the standards and help teachers use them. Those marked with a † are drawn from NCTM Standards 2000. Each grade span also includes exploratory concepts and skills that are not intended to be assessed at that grade level. The exploratory concepts and skills usually appear as learning standards at a higher grade level and are assessed then.
Throughout this document, the standards are written to allow time for study of additional material at every grade level and for advanced courses in middle and high school. At the secondary school level, the order of the standards is not meant to imply a necessary sequence of topics. Not only is the sequence of topics flexible, but schools may also make choices about course organization and sequence. Schools may offer a sequence of courses emphasizing a particular mathematical subject or a sequence of multistrand courses. For schools choosing to offer courses that emphasize one subject, the document provides sets of standards for Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and Precalculus. Schools may choose to offer Geometry before or after Algebra II. As the Department found in a survey of mathematics department chairs, teachers, and curriculum coordinators throughout the state, if students are to be able to take a Calculus course in grade 12, they must usually take Algebra I in grade 8.1 Indeed, a recent report from the U.S. Department of Education articulated the need to:
Provide all students the opportunity to take Algebra I or a similarly demanding course that includes fundamental algebraic concepts in the 8th grade to enable students to take more advanced mathematics and science courses in all four years of high school.
Build the groundwork for success in algebra by providing a rigorous curriculum in grades K-7 that moves beyond arithmetic and prepares students for the transition to algebra.
Ensure that all students, parents, teachers, and counselors understand the importance of students' early study of algebra as well as continued study of rigorous mathematics and science in high school.2
To provide for more local control and flexibility in secondary school mathematics curricula, two assessment options at the end of grade 8 are being planned. One option will be based on the multistrand standards for grades 7 and 8. The other option will be an end-of-course assessment for Algebra I based on the standards listed for Algebra I.
Although the Department presents standards for only one post-Algebra II course—Precalculus—there are other mathematics courses that school districts might offer concurrent with or subsequent to Precalculus. Among these options are probability and statistics and discrete mathematics. Schools should also provide interested students with enrichment options in mathematics such as advanced placement courses, independent research, internships, or study of special topics.
Development of the standards
The development of these standards is based upon two reform initiatives in Massachusetts, the Education Reform Act of 1993 and Partnerships Advancing the Learning of Mathematics and Science, the Statewide Systemic Initiative funded by the National Science Foundation since 1992. The initial set of standards was completed and approved by the Board of Education in 1995. Because the Education Reform Act required that all standards documents be reviewed and revised periodically, a mathematics revision panel was appointed in the summer of 1998. After reviewing the comments that the Department had received on the original set of mathematics standards, the revision panel examined these standards, assessed their appropriateness, and presented a draft to the Board of Education in September 1999.
The panel drew on the work of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM); reports of the Mathematical Association of America, the American Mathematical Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science; NCTM's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics October 1998 discussion draft; data from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study; the National Research Council's National Science Education Standards; and results from the initial administration of the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS).
Based on the comments that the Department received on this draft, further revisions were made. Drawing on the published version of NCTM Standards 2000, the final draft reflects the work of many PreK-12 mathematics educators, mathematicians, and others who helped clarify and refine the standards and ensure their developmental appropriateness. | 677.169 | 1 |

'Anyone who wants to know what this field is all about should read this book! The book is a pleasure to read, as questions that arise naturally in the reader's mind are answered, in almost all cases, in the following paragraph. The style strikes an ideal balance between rigor and informality. Mr O'Rourke must be a wonderful teacher and I envy his students.' Miriam L. Lucian, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Cambridge University Press, 1998. Estado de conservación: New. Brand New, Unread Copy in Perfect Condition. A+ Customer Service! Summary: This is the first textbook suitable for introducing undergraduate students to the design of geometry algorithms. These algorithms arise in many practical areas such as computer graphics, robotics, and pattern recognition. The basic techniques used in computational geometry are all covered: polygon triangulations, convex hulls, Voronoi diagrams, and arrangements. Other topics include partitioning, geometric searching, and motion planning. The self-contained treatment presumes only an elementary knowledge of mathematics, but reaches topics on the frontier of current research. Numerous exercises are provided at the end of every section. A novel aspect of the book is the inclusion of working C code for many of the algorithms. The interplay between practical programming issues and the latest theoretical developments makes this text unique. Nº de ref. de la librería ABE_book_new_052164976549766

1.1 Finding Limits Graphically and Numerically
Planning on being absent but you still want your students to learn while you are gone? Want to flip your classroom? You and your students don't have to miss a beat because this lesson includes the video of me going through the guided notes. It is approximately 45 minutes in length.
This is the first lesson in the Limits Unit. The lesson contains Guided Notes, homework, SmartBoard lesson, and all solutions. Don't forget the added bonus of a math joke embedded into the Smartboard lesson ☺!
In this lesson students will discover when a limit exists or doesn't exist as a graph and as a table. I always explain to my students that a limit has to be on a "road" aka the graph. This is why you will see in the notes the use of little cars to explain the left-hand limit and the right-hand limit. The cars will need to meet in order to have a limit. If they don't, it will not exist.
I hope you find the notes easy to follow. Please feel free to offer any suggestions on how to make them better as well! Through a community of collaboration, we can find that "sweet spot" for our students and their learning process | 677.169 | 1 |

In this simple Linear Algebra tutorial, you will review the basic operations on vectors, matrices, solving linear equations and eigen systems. I made
free educational interactive programs online
for almost every topic. The programs are well suited to guide discovery experiences where you can focus on the concept of linear algebra and let the program compute the more complex calculation. My focus is to introduce linear algebra with clarity of explanation. Thus, I try to avoid mathematical detail and you should read the proof of all the properties and theorems from the references. Manual examples on how to compute are given. Random examples of the interactive programs are useful to give you theoretically infinitely many examples. No download file is necessary for this tutorial and you must set JavaScript enabled in your browser.
If you are a first time learners, who are not familiar with most of the topics, you should browse each section & each topic of the tutorial in sequence. You should also try the random example of the interactive programs to gain your understanding of the concept. You may want to skip the properties and notes below the interactive program at first reading. After you are familiar with the name, definition and operations, you will find that the notes and properties listed are useful for second reading or whenever you need to come back to the particular topics.
The strength of linear algebra lies on the properties of each operation. I try to collect these properties on the same page of the context so that it is easier for you to find them back. Thus, you will find some of the properties are repeated in different pages for the appropriate context. | 677.169 | 1 |
Intermediate Algebra: Connecting Concepts through Applications
4.11 - 1251 ratings - Source
INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA: CONNECTING CONCEPTS THROUGH APPLICATIONS shows students how to apply traditional mathematical skills in real-world contexts. The emphasis on skill building and applications engages students as they master concepts, problem solving, and communication skills. It modifies the rule of four, integrating algebraic techniques, graphing, the use of data in tables, and writing sentences to communicate solutions to application problems. The authors have developed several key ideas to make concepts real and vivid for students. First, the authors integrate applications, drawing on real-world data to show students why they need to know and how to apply math. The applications help students develop the skills needed to explain the meaning of answers in the context of the application. Second, they emphasize strong algebra skills. These skills support the applications and enhance student comprehension. Third, the authors use an eyeball best-fit approach to modeling. Doing models by hand helps students focus on the characteristics of each function type. Fourth, the text underscores the importance of graphs and graphing. Students learn graphing by hand, while the graphing calculator is used to display real-life data problems. In short, INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA: CONNECTING CONCEPTS THROUGH APPLICATIONS takes an application-driven approach to algebra, using appropriate calculator Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.Extensive End-of- Chapter Material Includes Chapter Summaries, Review C h a

This study was to find the perception of mathematical & scientific learning of North Korean students who lived in Korea. To understand their perception, three groups as the focus group for clinical interview, consisting of North Korean students, their teaches and their parents, were investigated through narrative description of qualitative method, North Korean students experienced the gap between what they had learned and what they learned in Korea, due to visiting the 3rd country before they came to Korea. So they were in need of well developed instructional instruments based on a precise diagnosis of language ability to help them get over their difficulties. Second, they have difficulties in math & science classes due to differences between curricular and to the differences between the ways of expression of terminologies used in two countries. They expressed that the group work in learning and a great deal of number of problems could be helpful for their needs. Third, the community-service center should be operated in a systematic way to compensate their lack of getting a private education. Fourth, they thought that the supplemental materials should provide some sources that might help them to get over the language barrier and difficulties from the differences, because they depended on them.
Composition of functions are important tool for producing associativity in mathematical model. However it is not properly treated in dealing together with the other operation, the addition +, of functions defined on real numbers. In this note, we will study mathematization of the construction of nearring axiom from relationships between the addition + and the composition of functions, comparing with those between the addition + and the multiplication of functions. Furthermore, we will suggest some helpful teaching methods of these mathematization in the secondary school mathematics.
The purpose of the study is to analyze various types of errors appeared in true-false proof problems of matrix and to find out correction method. In order to achieve this purpose, error test was conducted to the subject of 87 second grade students who were chosen from D high schoool. It was shown from this test that the most frequent error type was caused by the lack of understanding about concepts and essential facts of matrix(35.3%), and then caused by the invalid logically reasoning (27.4%), and then caused by the misusing conditions(18.7%). Through three hours of correction lessons with 5 students, the following correction teaching method was proposed. First, it is stressed that the operation rules and properties satisfied in real number system can not be applied in matrix. Second, it is taught that the analytical proof method and the reductio ad absurdum method are useful in the proof problem of matrix. Third, it is explained that the counter example of E=, -E should be found in proof of the false statement. Fourth, it is taught that the determinant condition should be checked for the existence of the inverse matrix.
To understand natural or social phenomena, we need various information, knowledge, and thought skills. In this context, mathematics and sciences provide us with excellent tools for that purpose. This explains the reasons why there is always significant emphasis on mathematics and sciences in school education; some of the general goals in school education today are to illustrate physical phenomena with mathematical tools based on scientific consideration, to encourage students understand the mathematical concepts implied in the phenomena, and provide them with ability to apply what they learned to the real world problems. For the mentioned goals, we extract six fundamental principles for the integrated mathematics and science education (IMSE) from literature review and suggest a instructional design model. This model forms a fundamental of a case study we performed to which the IMSE was applied and tested to collect insights for design and practice. The case study was done for 10 students (2 female students, 8 male ones) at a coeducational high school in Seoul, the first semester 2009. Educational tools including graphic calculator(Voyage200) and motion detector (CBR) were utilized in the class. The analysis result for the class show that the students have successfully developed various mathematical concepts including the rate of change, the instantaneous rate of change, and derivatives based on the physical concepts like velocity, accelerate, etc. In the class, they described the physical phenomena with mathematical expressions and understood the motion of objects based on the idea of derivatives. From this result, we conclude that the IMSE builds integrated knowledge for the students in a positive way.
The purpose of the study were to investigate how secondary pre-service teachers conceptualize arithmetic mean and how their conceptualization was formed for solving the problems involving arithmetic mean. As a result, pre-service teachers' conceptualization of arithmetic mean was categorized into conceptualization by "mathematical knowledge(mathematical procedural knowledge, mathematical conceptual knowledge)", "analog knowledge(fair-share, center-of-balance)", and "statistical knowledge". Most pre-service teachers conceptualized the arithmetic mean using mathematical procedural knowledge which involves the rules, algorithm, and procedures of calculating the mean. There were a few pre-service teachers who used analog or statistical knowledge to conceptualize the arithmetic mean, respectively. Finally, we identified the relationship between problem types and conceptualization of arithmetic mean.
Goos(2004) introduced educational researchers' demand for change on the way that mathematics is taught in schools and the series of curriculum documents produced by the National council of Teachers of Mathematics. The documents have placed emphasis on the processes of problem solving, reasoning, and communication. In Korea, the national curriculum documents have also placed increased emphasis on mathematical activities such as reasoning and communication(1997, 2007).The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of inquiry-oriented instruction with guided reinvention on students' mathematical activities containing communication and reasoning for science high school students. In this paper, we introduce an inquiry-oriented instruction containing Polya's plausible reasoning, Freudenthal's guided reinvention, Forman's sociocultural approach of learning, and Vygotsky's zone of proximal development. We analyze the impact of mathematical findings from inquiry-oriented instruction on students' mathematical activities containing communication and reasoning.
In this article an explanation of monotonicity of functions and the definition of local extrema in Korean highschool textbooks based on national curriculum(revised in 2007) are analyzed critically. On the basis of this analysis, we indicate some problems and propose its improvements.
Even though Sanhak has a long history, it has disappeared from the stage of modern mathematics. What happened to Sanhak? This article tries to answer the question. In fact, the authors argue that the oriental perception toward to infinity has played an important role in such situation. The authors claim that actual infinity and virtual infinity have resulted in quite different types of mathematics, respectively.
Mathematics is the subject which is distinctive in logical hierarchy, so the dificiency of prior learning or lack of understanding can result in learning disabilities of follow-up study. To minimize the learning disabilities, we should percieve student's problems and correct them through "Error Analysis" so that they can make up meaningful learning. Especially, in the case of division, its meaning is various, and the interpretation of the quotient and the remainder is the difference according to the caculation results, so students are likely to make errors often. Therefore, in this study, I presented the measures of how to instruct them under the circumstances in which division is applied by analyzing examples of incorrect answers. | 677.169 | 1 |
