After teaching my classes how to integrate using "reverse chain rule" and giving them enough practice to feel confident about the method, I have used this worksheet to try to encourage them to use less time and steps.
My classes enjoyed the challenge of trying to complete the sheet within the time - you can always amend the time limit for weaker/stronger groups. Solutions are attached.
Note that this sheet assumes that students know how to integrate the function e^x and 1/x.
This resource is designed to introduce the method for finding the volume of a shape created when an area is rotated around an axis.
The first side explains the derivation of the formulae - I would recommend you also try to show your students an animation that helps them visualise a 3D shape being created by a region rotating about an axis (lots are freely available online).
There are then 5 pages of questions for your students to complete. Most of the questions are in two parts - the first part involves finding an area, the second part involves finding a volume (a very common style of question in examination papers).
Note that students are expected to be able to integrate using ln, e and reverse chain rule.
Answers to all questions are provided.
This worksheet can be used to teach and practise the method for finding the area between a curve and the y-axis using integration. The questions are designed so that students practise rearranging the curve y=f(x) into x=g(y) and then integrate with respect to y. The first page introduces this method and then there are 2 examples to work through as a class. There are then 3 more pages of questions, all with diagrams, for your students to attempt. Answers are providedThis worksheet has 4 pages of questions, each with a diagram, for your students to practise finding the area between two graphs. The first 4 questions are on areas between a curve and a line, the remaining questions are on areas between 2 curves. Answers to all questions are provided.
A worksheet for students to practice integrating more difficult integrals (of the form where a simple substitution will work, or that can be worked out by inspection). Good for IB SL and HL Maths students and A level maths.
Erica makes mistakes; lots of mistakes. You have her homework on every topic covered in the first year of her A level mathematics course where she consistently makes mistakes. Your job, or more accurately, the students in your classes' job is to correct Erica's errors and explain where she's gone wrong so that she doesn't make the same mistakes again. These have gone down well in my classes and really encourage discussion about the mathematics and should embed a deeper understanding.
This is three lessons designed to tackle the different areas of differentiation for AS Level.
1. Introduction and Basics
2. Applications
3. 2nd Differential
NOTE: Feel free to browse my shop for more free and premium resources and as always please rate and feedback, thanks.
All sorts of calculus issues for Erica here! She really needs your (your class') help to correct her work and explain where she's gone wrong. There are common mistakes here for student to find and discuss in class.
Originally created for the Core 2 module in AS Mathematics.
This activity can be managed in a variety of ways, with or without the given answers. The most successful approach has been to give the question sheet to pairs of students and let them work together on large whiteboards.
The lack of scaffolding in this activity means students must utilise a variety of skills to calculate the answers, rather than only using integration. Answers are provided here for your benefit. You could also provide these to students as part of a matching activity.
NOTE: this activity is about finding areas; a negative answer is not acceptable!
I hope you enjoy using this activity with your students, and that they enjoy the problem-solving. | 677.169 | 1 |

The Manga Guides teach the basic concepts of science in an entertaining and informative context. Manga is a very popular form of Japanese comics. By utilizing this format to teach students about the various sciences, the people at Ohmsha Press have created some fascinating textbooks. They provide a learning experience that is informative and fun at the same time. With them, young pupils may actually enjoy the educational process for a change, and learn some important facts about science as well.
The Guides have proven to be so popular in Japan that US publishing house No Starch Press have translated them into English. I must say, the "dry as dust" study guides I had as a student never interested me as these do. Their recent Manga Guide To Linear Algebra is a great example of what they do best. The book provides an excellent introduction to the subject eight chapters offer an easy to follow step-by-step course in the basics of linear algebra. We begin (appropriately enough) with "What is Linear Algebra?" From there we are move into "The Fundamentals," "Intro To Matrices," "More Matrices," "Introduction to Vectors," "More Vectors," "Linear Transformations," and "Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors." Each chapter is broken down into a considerable number of sub-chapters, which help to make this relatively abstract information much easier to grasp.
The Manga Guide To Linear Algebra is set up in a very user-friendly manner. The opening to each chapter and many of the sub-chapters are a series of Manga comics, outlining everything in comic form that will be discussed. The body of text then fully explains the topic .
Besides linear algebra, there are Manga Guides for a whole range of subjects, including electricity, statistics, and physics. They are highly recommended to parents who wish to offer an alternative to the often staid presentations of this material. | 677.169 | 1 |

Differential equations are the fundamental tools that modern science and engineering use to model physical reality. The importance of differential equations to these disciplines cannot be overemphasized. A distinct subject in its own right, linear algebra is a part of mathematics concerned with the structure inherent in mathematical systems. We shall study these subjects together for three reasons: (1) The viewpoint of linear algebra is immensely helpful in uncovering the order underlying the topic of differential equations; it helps us understand the "why" and not just the "how" of our calculations. (2) Linear algebra is essential to the theory of differential equations. And (3) linear algebra is crucial to the computer approximations which are often the only way to solve the most challenging differential equations. Accordingly, the course will include a computational component.
Three midterm exams will be held during the regularly scheduled class time. The exams will be held in class on Wednesday Oct. 7, Monday Nov. 16, and Monday Dec. 14.
Grading:
The final grade will be set by scores on homework and sectional quizzes (25%) three midterm exams (25% each). The lowest homework score will be dropped. The scores will be no less friendly than: A (>93%), AB (88%-92%), B (83%-87%), BC (78%-82%), C (70%-77%), D (60%-69%), F (<60%).
Homework:
Homework will be assigned weekly and due at the beginning of class (otherwise it will be considered late). Staple your homework. You are allowed (and encouraged) to work with others, but you must turn in your own assignment. Late homework will be accepted until 5pm on the due date with a 20% penalty. Finally, write clearly. I have instructed the TAs not to waste time trying to interpret poorly communicated mathematics, and instead to simply take points off. | 677.169 | 1 |
The most practical applications of mathematics are those that apply to the most people. When it comes to linear algebra, one wide-reaching application is to the problem of flow. Whether it is data through a network, water through pipes, or cars through traffic, arranging an efficient flow is a crucial element of design. Just these three examples already show that solving flow problems is a wide topic that has relevance in many aspects of everyday life.
Many of the problems that arise with networks and traffic involve optimizing the flow through the system. This can be done in many ways and depends a lot on the particular situation. However, by looking at systems of linear equations, we can simplify flow problems. Linear algebra allows us to study these systems using matrices and determine which variables have forced values and which are free to be chosen. After this distinction has been made using linear algebra, we can use other techniques to choose the free variables.
In order to begin understanding these types of problems, it is best to look at a simple example. Consider a system of streets with traffic flow as described in the diagram below, where each number represents the number of cars passing through in one hour. In order to optimize traffic flow, the city planners need to determine how to set the traffic lights and how many cars to let through streets A, B, C, D, and E each hour.
First, the picture yields the following four equations:
B + E = 20 + A
C + 30 = B + 40
60 = C + D
D = E + 15
Next, the equations can be rearranged:
-A + B + E = 20
-B + C = 10
C + D = 60
D - E = 15
Now they can be placed into a matrix:
After row-reducing, the matrix becomes:
Finally, this gives four new equations:
A = 15
B + E = 35
C + E = 45
D - E = 15
From these equations, the city planners can see that A must be 15 cars per hour but they have some choice for the other streets. If they set E at 10 cars per hour, for example, B must be 25, C must be 35, and D must be 25. As another example, consider shutting down E street completely. Then it follows that B = 35, C = 45, and D = 15. And if the city reverses the direction of traffic flow on E and then allows 20 cars per hour the other streets are affected as follows: B = 55, C = 65, and D also changes direction and must admit 5 cars per hour.
When looking at the other applications mentioned earlier, such as data through a network or water through pipes, the system can be set up similarly. The reason that linear algebra is so key in solving these types of problems is that it allows for solving many linear equations simultaneously. Matrices use the symmetry of the equations to solve for the variables.
Now that it is clear how useful linear algebra can be in this application, it is important to look at the process in much more detail.
The Process
The first step is to come up with equations after looking at the picture, or actual situation. For a more general map, there needs to be one equation for each node on the graph. A node is a point where two or more lines intersect. At each node, the incoming traffic or flow needs to equal the outgoing traffic or flow.
The second step is to rearrange these equations in order to get the constant on one side and all of the variables on the other side. This is a very simple process and can be done with general algebra knowledge.
The third step is to create a matrix. This step is a little bit more involved. Matrices are measured by how many rows and columns they have. In general, we call a matrix with m rows and n columns an m-by-n matrix . The number of equations from steps 1 and 2 will be the number of rows the matrix has and the number of columms will be equal to the number of variables plus 1. Next, the matrix needs to be filled in. Each column of the matrix corresponds to one variable, so the coefficients of that variable in each respective equation should be filled in that column. The final column will contain the constants from each equation.
The fourth step is to row-reduce the matrix. There are four rules that have to be followed:
The Four Rules:
1. All nonzero rows must have a 1 as the furthest left nonzero entry (called a leading 1).
2. All columns containing leading 1s must have only zeros everywhere else.
3. All leading 1st must be further to the right than leading 1s in the above rows.
4. All rows containing only zeros must be at the bottom.
This step can be accomplished by using the three elementary row operations below:
The Three Operations:
A. Any two rows can be switched.
B. A row can be multiplied by a nonzero constant, if each element of the row is multiplied by the same constant.
C. A row can be replaced by the sum of itself plus another row.
The fifth step is to convert this matrix back into linear equations by using the reverse process of step 3 and using the entries in the matrix to determine the coefficients of the variables and the constants in the equations.
Now these equations can be used to see which variables have forced values and which are free to be chosen. Depending on the goal of the exercise, different methods can be used to choose the free variables. Free variables exist when there are more variables than there are equations. In the above example, we had five variables, but only four equations (because there were four nodes).
In problems involving data flowing through networks, a key issue that arises is efficiency and speed of travel, but also having a large amount of data traveling at once. When it comes to water flowing through pipes, the capacity of the pipes needs to be taken into consideration, and also any valves that might restrict flow to only one direction. For street traffic, the needs of the intersections might be dependent on time, capacity, direction, or a number of other factors. In all three situations, cost can also play a large role as companies and cities always need to reduce costs. The strength of linear algebra is that it is broad enough to be used in any and all of these possible situations and can be applied to help solve all of these issues.
Linear algebra can be used to solve increasingly more complex systems of equations, with hundreds or even thousands of variables. The reason linear algebra is so useful for these types of problems is that it can be thought of as an algorithm and the steps can be used in a computer program to facilitate the process. Many programmers use matrices to store and manipulate data due to these reasons. The concepts explained here can be applied to a variety of situations in the real world.
A Last Example
Now examine the following pipe flow problem:
One optimization problem could be to maximize the quantity of water flowing through pipe B. Using the process described above, the picture can be transformed into four equations, which can in turn be turned into a matrix. After row reduction, the following four equations will be apparent:
A + E = 60
B - F = 80
C - D = -10
D + E + F = 0
Because the goal in this particular situation is maximizing B, the focus should be on the equation involving B. Because B and F are output pipes, F cannot have negative flow. Therefore the minimum flow F can have is zero, making the maximum value for B equal to 80. Interestingly, the flow through B does not actually depend on A or D even though those pipes interact with the same node as B.
In the real world, it frequently occurs where many variables are not significant to the final solution of the system. It all depends on what the network is designed to do and what parameters are relevant. There are many directions in which to take this application. | 677.169 | 1 |

Abstract maths question - PLEASE HELP
I am a junior in college right now, and after finishing the Calculus sequence and having my first semester of Analysis, I am now taking Abstract Algebra. I did alright in Analysis but not as good as I had hoped to do. My biggest problems are that, unlike Calculus, which for the most part I could visualize and see the bigger picture, I simply cannot. Calculus was a breeze, I understood the broader scheme of things, and I understood why I was learning the derivatives and integrals, what it meant to do these things, and most importantly THE DIRECTION I WAS HEADED WITH ANY SPECIFIC PROBLEM. I was lucky. In high school I had an extremely good Calculus teacher. Unfortunately, in college, especially in understanding and proving abstract maths, I am totally lost. The reason is because not only do my university professors not really told me what it is I am trying to actually do. They use the definition-theorem-proof-theorem-proof-example approach which teaches nothing but memorization, and I cannot visualize it and therefore can't learn to understand it for myself. Like I said, I've finished an entire semester and I don't even really understand what constitutes a proof or the direction I should head in doing the proofs because I can't see what I'm working towards, nor do I know the questions to ask to give me a reference point. I am starting to lose faith in math and in myself pursuing a career in the subject. If anyone has any suggestions, advice, or any kind of help at all I would greatly appreciate it.
Oh no, at the thought of someone turning away from math, I had to say something!
Sorry this is your first experience with math in college. The further you advance in math during college, the more you get into "real math". During my second or third year, I realized the math I was learning hardly resembled what I did in highschool, but I liked the new face of math all the more.
The first class that heralded my change in thinking was my Intro to Abstract Math course, which involved learning some basics like set theory, functions, cardinality, etc., and also learning how to structure proofs. We did a couple formal proofs in highschool, but due to how they were presented I just considered them a waste of time. During my Intro to Abstract Math course, I started to realize to value of proofs and began to try to change my mindset to one of a mathematician.
It is difficult to give some advice that would help everyone in a situation like yours, since people's minds work so differently, but I'll explain what helped me.
Basically, I began considering math as a new universe, where I had to redefine everything I know is true, and learn the relation between all the new concepts. BUT it's extremely important to understand WHY things are the way they are. There are arguably no coincidences in math. Unlike any other subject, it is a subject born of truth and logic, and rigor is its godfather. Okay, that's my silly analogy, but you must convince yourself of the importance of mathematical rigor, which is essential to be able to appreciate the beauty (which you'll begin to notice more and more). I find it incredible to be able to form flawless arguments which can be defended from any angle, which is entirely different from what lawyers do. Lawyers create more or less solid (not flawless) arguments which only have to pass for a jury, but mathematicians must have an unyielding grasp on logic. Something that happens along the way is that you'll continue increasing your standards for yourself in terms of logic and conceptualization.
Some study-specific tips I would give are:
* Know your definitions and theorems well. These are your building blocks and tools. Try not just to do rote memorization, but understand the importance of each factor. If a definition or the hypothesis in a theorem has 3 factors, then try to understand what would be missing if you removed each one.
* Be aware of common counterexamples. These are often what demonstrate why a theorem is not true when one of the assumptions is removed, and they also help enlarge your mental bank of possibilities.
* As much as you have time, go through the proofs you're encountering, and make sure you understand each component of it. Just like the theorems, imagine what what happen if you removed a statement of a proof.
* Note that there is a very significant difference in understanding a proof entirely when you read it and being able to produce the proof on your own. Try sitting down and writing out certain proofs without any references. This is a good way to review for exams.
* Don't be afraid to ask your professor or friend for help. Ask them to explain something you don't understand. Sometimes all it takes is for someone to rephrase something, and sometimes people will have a very different way of thinking about something which could help you a lot.
* Do a lot of sitting back and pondering. The importance of this could vary between people, but if you don't understand something, don't settle for getting through it with a half-understanding. The human brain can't make large changes too quickly usually, so you'll need to give your brain some time to learn these new and sometimes mind-boggling concepts. For example, when I was first learning about infinite products in my topology course, I was struggling for a way to conceptualize infinite-dimensional spaces (can you blame me?), and so I had to labor over the work for a while, then sit back and try to wrap my mind around it for a while, then back to the work, and repeat. For the first couple days when the prof was talking about that stuff, I felt lost and began to feel hopeless, but a week later, I was surprised by the advancement in understanding I had accomplished.
Also, I remember hearing that one mathematician said he did his best work while riding his bike. A change of pace, like a short walk with some fresh air or something, can be really beneficial.
Well, that's all I can think of for now. Time to do some Dual n-back cognitive training before class!
Oh, one more thing. Yeah, abstract algebra is a tough beast. I took a couple abstract algebra courses in college, and they were pretty difficult. For me what made them hard was the lack of an inherent way to visualize the subject matter, unlike analysis or topology.
I am now taking my first graduate course in abstract algebra, and I'm still trying to figure out a way to excel in it. For some things it just takes repeated exposure and effortful study. You are capable of comprehending it though.
One professor of mine told me abstract algebra is "a different way of thinking". I wish he elaborated a little bit on that.
Does anyone else have any thoughts on abstract algebra and how the mindset is different? | 677.169 | 1 |
We started by looking at systems of two equations with two variables and using substitution to solve.
Then did a few problems with three equations and three variables.
Also used u-substitution to solve a few quadratic equations. If they can be factored, that can be easier. Sometimes quadratic equations cannot be easily factored, in which case it can be useful to use the Quadratic Formula.
We started by looking at homework which used the double angle formula.
The basic approach was to do two things, could start in either order.
1. Draw the angle with a right triangle on the xy axes.
2. Use a double angle formula which is convenient
You can figure out the ratios for the trig functions using
SOHCAHTOA
CHOSHACAO
Then looked at a previous test with graphing trig functions. Should spend more time on that. But one thing you can do most of the time is plot points by plugging in x values and getting y values. You use again,
We mostly looked at problems with sigma notation. At the bottom of the capital (Greek) letter Sigma, there is a variable with the starting point and at the top a finishing point if it is finite or infinity.
Then the sequence of numbers goes into an equation that are added together.
For a geometric series, there can be a finite sum or it can diverge.
Exponents can be used, and series can also alternate between positive and negative. You can describe the same series in ways that look different.
Looked a bit at combinations and permutations, including one that required a somewhat seldom used formula at least in high school math classes.
Apparently TI calculators use the CORIDC algorithm which involves rotation on a complex plane using complex numbers.
COordinate Rotation DIgital Computer
aka
Voldic's algorithm
I would think that at least some calculators use (or used) the Taylor Series for the functions.
They would be something a calculator can do fairly easily, as opposed to the sine function itself. Taylor Series use polynomials.
That is more likely something you would see as a mathematics/physics student at the undergraduate level.
You would learn about the sine function being an 'odd' function and the cosine function being an 'even' function.
Each is an alternating series that starts with a positive term.
If you use more terms, you get more accuracy, but a calculator displays a limited number of terms. So a fairly small number of terms in the Taylor Series will give you a decent approximation for many things.
Also, these Taylor Series are more accurate with smaller values of x using less terms. If you use x = 0, they're exactly right using only the first term. | 677.169 | 1 |
provides an introduction to the theory of dynamical systems with the aid of the Mathematicacomputer algebra package. The book has a very hands-on approach and takes the reader from basic theory to recently published research material. Emphasized throughout are numerous applications to biology, chemical kinetics, economics, electronics, epidemiology, nonlinear optics, mechanics, population dynamics, and neural networks.
Throughout the book, the author has focused on breadth of coverage rather than fine detail, with theorems and proofs being kept to a minimum. The first part of the book deals with continuous systems using ordinary differential equations, while the second part is devoted to the study of discrete dynamical systems. Exercises are included at the end of every chapter. Both textbooks and research papers are presented in the list of references.
Working Mathematica notebooks will be available at
The book is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students as well as working scientists in applied mathematics, the natural sciences, and engineering. The material is also accessible to readers with a general mathematical background. Many chapters of the book are especially useful as reference material for senior undergraduate independent project work. | 677.169 | 1 |

Overview
Mathematics provides a language and tools for understanding the physical world around us and the abstract world within us. The discipline is used extensively in a broad spectrum of fields ranging from the traditional areas of pure mathematics such as analysis, algebra, geometry, statistics, topology and actuarial science, to applied mathematics areas such as combinatorics, computational biology, fluid dynamics, theoretical computer science and theoretical physics. According to a recent survey from the National Association of Colleges and Employers, which tracks college graduates' job offers, the top 15 highest-earning college degrees all have one thing in common — math skills.
The goal of the Associate in Science in Mathematics program is to prepare students for additional study in mathematics or any technical field which relies on mathematics. Our program is designed to provide students with the core which will enable them to enter a baccalaureate degree program in mathematics or engineering.

NOTICE: I have been told that the math
department is migrating to the TI-84 Plus/TI-84 Plus Silver Edition, so students
should ask their teacher if that calculator will be required in a particular
course before buying another type.
General: All students should, of course,
ask their
classroom teacher if she/he has a recommended calculator. If the teacher
has no recommendation; then consider using the following as guidelines.
The final decision is up to the student. The prices on this sheet are
applicable in the Memphis, Tennessee area.
Basic Math or Elementary Algebra:
A scientific calculator should be satisfactory in most of these
classes. They are cheap enough that those who need to save money now can
buy one without a significant investment and perhaps buy a graphing calculator
later if it's needed. A scientific calculator that is entirely
satisfactory can be bought for $9.97 at places like Wal-Mart and Office Depot.
Some of them may also be available at Best Buys, Target, Office Max, and Circuit
City. Things to Look For: First of all, don't buy one of
those six- or eight-function calculators that are little more than adding
machines. Definitely do buy one with a two-line display, and I like very
much algebraic entry. (That's called V-S.P.A. M for the Casio and EOS for the TIs.) The two-line displays keep both your entry
and your answer on the screen at the same time. Make sure it has "Replay"
or some such provision for moving the cursor so that you can make
corrections. You'll also need an INS, insert, for entering things you may
have left out in your entry. Make sure it has a fraction function. That
looks like this: ab/c. It should have provisions for entering powers of
10. That would be something like EE or EXP. It should also have
these: log, ex ,
ln, nPr, nCr, and x2, square root, and provisions for taking
roots and powers other than two (either xy or ^.). Some
students may want complex number capability. What is Available: Here are some calculators
that meet the above requirements:

Intermediate Algebra: Unless your teacher specifically recommends a graphing
calculator, one of the scientific calculators listed above
would be satisfactory. But a graphing calculator would be of some help in
visualizing graphs and checking solutions. This is, of course, provided
that the student is willing to learn to use a graphing calculator. Some teachers may require graphing
calculators. If you have decided to buy a graphing calculator, you may want to read
the following section. The Durabrand, listed at the end of this document,
might be a possibility, as a compromise between a strictly scientific calculator
and a full scale graphing calculator. But without actually having used it, I am not going to
make any suggestion on it..
Pre-Calculus, Elementary Calculus, Finite Math, Foundations, and
Statistics: In almost all of these classes you should have a graphing
calculator. There may be some statistics teachers who use the scientific
calculators. Be sure to check with your classroom teacher.
Unless you're some kind of calculator guru, don't buy one of the
heavy hitters like a TI-89 or a TI-86 unless you have money to burn.
Chances are you'll never learn how to use most its power. Instead, buy a
TI-83 Plus TI-84 Plus (or SE), or a Casio FX-9750G Plus or aCasio
CFX-9850GB Plus if they're still around. (Be sure to ask your classroom teacher if
he/she includes the Casio in instructions before buying one, and then, only if
you already own one. There are things such as Tables that you may find
annoying about this calculator.) If
you're one of those people who does programming, be aware that some of the
Casios have limited programming capability. You
can get by with a TI-82 if you'll enter my program for doing rref and ref on
augmented matrices and, for finite math, the program for doing the simplex
method. Otherwise you're going to be left out when you get to augmented matrices or simplex. Frankly, unless you already have a
TI-82, I'd be very reluctant to buy one. The Casio has a program that you'll need to
activate for doing rref, or you could use my program for rrefref for the Casio.
That'll give you both ref and rref. If your teacher is one of those who
gives you a lot of augmented matrix work to do by hand, you might find my matrix
row operations program helpful for both the TI and the Casio.
Should I buy a TI-83 Plus Silver Edition, a TI-84 Plus or a
TI-84 Plus Silver Edition? If a few words, you won't need one of these
calculators for any of the courses mentioned above unless the classroom
teacher specifically requires it. The major difference between these
calculators and the TI-83 Plus is that the newer versions are faster and have
more memory. Frankly, you'll hardly notice the speed in doing the work required in these courses.
They also have more applications loaded, but you can download some of these
free. There are also a couple of new statistics functions is the TI-84
Plus Silver Edition. These are as follows: Manual Fit under the STAT>Calc
menu; X2 GOF-Test (X 2 means Chi-squared; GOF means
goodness of fit); and InvT under
DISTR. InvT is related to the t-distribution in the same way that invNorm
is related to the normal distribution. There are also several new APPS that many or may not be useful to
the STCC user. If you're into games or you plan to use your calculator for
many years, and if you're not on a tight budget, you might want to consider
one of
these calculators. Finally, the TI-83 Plus will probably soon go out of
production is it hasn't already. So, you might want to take that into
consideration as well.
What is Available and at What Cost: I remind students that used calculators are sometimes available from pawn
shops for considerably reduced prices. Recently, for some reason, the
prices at pawn shops have take a big jump. The TI-83 Plus should be available
for no more than $35. If the shop owner wants to charge you
more, remind him/her that there are three newer versions of that calculator.
I am not endorsing pawn shop operating methods; I'm merely reporting what their
prices might be. Whether or not you want to
patronize them is, of course, entirely up to you.
For students at the Gill Campus, I'll upgrade your TI-83 Plus operating system if
it's older than 1.15.
Also, you probably won't get an instruction book from a pawn shop, but anyone
can print my "Brief User's Guide" from this Website for free. New Calculators:
See the chart on the HOTSTUFF page.
Other Calculators:
Casio FX-9750G Plus: (Cost as of 9/1/06, about
$50.) This calculator has a 128 x 64 pixel screen. (For comparison
the TI-83 Plus has 94 x 62.). This calculator has inequality shading,
histograms, scatter plots, box & whisker, 36 lists, one- and two-variable
statistics, sample z and t tests, chi-squared, ANOVA, F tests, z and t interval,
and other statistics capabilities. It also has about all of the financial
capabilities that you'll need for the any of the courses mentioned above.
This calculator IS NOT electronically upgradeable. As for programmability, this
calculator has "Interactive Equation Solver." Remember, that you are
likely to find teachers here who are not familiar with how to use this
calculator.
Casio FX-9860G Plus: (Cost as of 9/1/06,
about $80.) This calculator also has a 128 x 64 pixel screen. (For
comparison the TI-83 Plus has 94 x 62.). This calculator has all of the
features of the FX-9750 Plus mentioned above and it IS electronically
upgradeable. It also has some added features such as spreadsheet
capability. As for programmability, this calculator has "Interactive

Durabrand "Graphing"
Calculators (I believe this is a Wal-Mart Brand):
I recently saw a
Durabrand at Wal-Mart for $19.95? Here's what little preliminary
information I have on it. (Please read the DISCLAIMER at the start of
these FAQs). PROS: * Has a 50-key keyboard that appears to
be fairly well arranged except, possibly for the SHIFT key.
* Has fraction and Ans keys.
* Has sufficient memories for most any purpose -
26.
* Has about any of the standard algebraic and
trig functions that you would want - including one- and two-variable
statistics.
* Algebraic entry of formulas.
* Easily obtained battery - CR2032. This is the
same as the battery used for the memory in some other calculators.
* Has some limited programming ability. CONS: * The display for the graph is very small, 35 x
23 pixels. The full-screen display on the TI-83 Plus is 62 x 94 and
the split-
screen G-T display is 50 x 46.
* As far as I can see, there is no key that is the equivalent of the ENTRY
function on the TI-83 Plus. This is very useful when you need to use
a long expression and only edit a number or
maybe two.
* Programming is limited to 400 steps divided among ten
pre-designated programs. Gamers, forget about it. SUMMARY OF DURABRAND CALC: Don't let the small number of
cons lead you to believe this is equivalent to the TI-83 Plus or the Casio
CFX-9860 series or even the CFX-9750 Plus. This is more on the order of the old Casio 7000G Graphic
calculator. This is merely my opinion, but if you want a sophisticated
graphing calculator, I'd try to come up with 15 to
20 dollars more money and look hard for a used TI-83 Plus or equivalent.
Some of you who are only going to take Elementary and Intermediate Algebra might
want to try this out as a sort of super scientific calculator with the added
ability to do some limited graphing. I want to re-emphasize that I HAVE
NOT had my hands on one of these calculators. | 677.169 | 1 |

Introduction to Complex Analysis
321 ratings
This course provides an introduction to complex analysis which is the theory of complex functions of a complex variable. We will start by introducing the complex plane, along with the algebra and geometry of complex numbers, and then we will make our way via differentiation, integration, complex dynamics, power series representation and Laurent series into territories at the edge of what is known today. Each module consists of five video lectures with embedded quizzes, followed by an electronically graded homework assignment. Additionally, modules 1, 3, and 5 also contain a peer assessment.
The homework assignments will require time to think through and practice the concepts discussed in the lectures. In fact, a significant amount of your learning will happen while completing the homework assignments. These assignments are not meant to be completed quickly; rather you'll need paper and pen with you to work through the questions. In total, we expect that the course will take 6-12 hours of work per module, depending on your background.
From the lesson
Power Series
In this module we'll learn about power series representations of analytic functions. We'll begin by studying infinite series of complex numbers and complex functions as well as their convergence properties. Power series are especially easy to understand, well behaved and easy to work with. We'll learn that every analytic function can be locally represented as a power series, which makes it possible to approximate analytic functions locally via polynomials. As a special treat, we'll explore the Riemann zeta function, and we'll make our way into territories at the edge of what is known today such as the Riemann hypothesis and its relation to prime numbers. | 677.169 | 1 |
Mathematics
Mathematics equips pupils with a uniquely powerful set of tools to understand and change the world.
These tools include logical reasoning, problem-solving skills, and the ability to think in abstract ways. Mathematics is important in everyday life in many forms of employment: science and technology; medicine; the economy, planning, development and the environment, and it informs public decision making.
Different cultures have contributed to the development and application of Mathematics. Today, the subject transcends cultural boundaries and its importance is universally recognised. Mathematics can be enlightening; when a pupil solves a problem for the first time, discovers a more elegant solution to that problem, or suddenly sees hidden connections.
As a department we aim to:
foster a willingness to work independently and co-operatively
promote a positive attitude to mathematics
give our pupils the ability and skills required to write and talk about mathematics
enable our pupils to apply mathematics in everyday situations
give our pupils a feel for numbers and an understanding of the significance of these numbers
equip our pupils with the skills to carry out calculations
work with parents and pupils to ensure potential is achieved
First Form to Third Form
The programme of study in the first three years provides opportunities for pupils to develop their skills in using and applying mathematics, number, algebra, shape, space, measures and data handling.
All pupils in First Form to Third Form are assessed throughout the course of the year, examining their fluency, problems solving, misconception spotting and reasoning. In the second half of the Summer Term Examination Week is held and all pupils are examined in all their subjects. Papers in the Mathematics department may be calculator or non-calculator dependent on year group. Results from these examinations allows us to track progress and helps inform our setting decisions for the following academic year.
Fourth Form to Fifth Form
Preparation for the iGCSE course begins in the Michaelmas Term of Fourth Form, culminating in external examinations in the Summer Term of Fifth Form. All pupils prepared to enter the Higher Paper of the Edexcel iGCSE course. Grades are assigned under the new 9 - 1 system.. The progress of each pupil is monitored at regular intervals and movement between levels and sets will be made if deemed necessary.
Across the Fourth and Fifth Form there are usually five or six sets, depending on the six of the year groups. Pupils are set according to ability.
There is continuous assessment and monitoring throughout Fourth and Fifth Form. However, in the Summer Term, for Fourth Form, there is Examination Week where all pupils will be examined in all their subjects. For Mathematics there will be two substantial papers; both calculator papers. Fifth Form sit mock examinations for Mathematics early in the Lent Term. The results of the mathematics examinations inform final tier of entry for iGCSE the following summer.
Pupils in the top set are also prepared for the Additional Maths qualification, which is an excellent stepping stone to studying Mathematics in the Sixth Form. This course is mostly followed in the Fifth Form, and is examined at the end of that year. The content is much more demanding, but as such it is very rewarding for those pupils who undertake the course.

Calculus BC
The first thing you should understand
about Calculus BC is that the "B" in "BC" is the same as the "B" in "Calculus
AB." Therefore, if you have completed the Calculus AB syllabus, you have
already learned the "B" material. So in the MMII/BC course, you will review
that "B" material during the first semester, while you are learning about
fractals and chaos. The second semester will be devoted to the "C" material,
which will be new to you. This is reflected in the title of the textbook
for the second part of the course: AP Calculus: The "C" Topics. It was written especially for MMII/BC
students at Polytechnic
School.
The "C" Topics
1.
Infinite Series
In
a break with tradition, we study the most difficult
of the "C" topics first. The subtilties and intricacies of
infinite
series require minds that are much fresher than
those
of most students at the end of their senior year.
2.
Antiderivatives and Integrals
We
review the Riemann sum concept and use it to set up
applications of various types. As a bonus, we give a "rigorous"
proof
of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. We study
antidifferentiation
by parts, by partial fractions, and by substitution. Finally,
we give thorough attention to improper
integrals.
3.
The Calculus of Vector, Parametric, and Polar Functions
Our
theme is motion in the plane, even in the study of polar
coordinates
where we look at polar functions as "distance
modulators."
This idea, first suggested by Richard Sisley of
Polytechnic
School, replaces the more static traditional
approach
to polar functions with a more dynamic
interpretation.
4.
Differential Equations
We
extend the students' knowledge of the simple growth-decay
models
of the AB syllabus to the case of bounded growth. The
primary
model here is the logistic differential equation, which
was
added to the the BC syllabus in 1998. A unique feature of
the
MMII/BC class is that, during the first semester of the class,
students
make a thorough study of the logistic difference
equation
in the context of pioneering work in chaos and
bifurcation
theory by Robert May and Mitchel Feigenbaum .
This
allows for some very rich discussion about the interplay
between
discrete and continuous models of dynamical systems.
For a more detailed outline of the coverage of the "C"
topics, see the table of contents
for AP Calculus: The "C" Topics. Also, see the College Board's
official AP Calculus site for complete information about the BC syllabus. | 677.169 | 1 |
Linear algebra review
Get inspired:
Tools and concepts from linear algebra are key to many branches of mathematics, including functional analysis, graph theory, abstract algebra, representation theory, numerical analysis, differential equations, and much more. Basic linear algebra tools — especially eigenvalues and eigenvectors –aren crucial for the study of dynamical systems. Linear algebra also has fascinating applications in and of itself. One famous one is the PageRank algorithm used by Google to rank search results. There is a wonderful, well-explained article about this algorithm. Another wonderful example comes from facial recognition techniques that use eigenfaces, which are essentially basis elements that span the space of possible appearances of the human face. | 677.169 | 1 |

This week is the Maths Diagnostic Test set by the School of Maths and taken by most students in the Faculty of Science in year 1. This year it is a paper based test which will help you understand what you need to work on. It is multiple choice, 3 marks for a correct answer and -1 mark for an incorrect answer. I'll have the papers graded and returned to you and I'll extract from the results areas to focus on for the following weeks. You can see an online version of this course in webcourses.
Today you got to test your basic understanding of many maths concepts. This test was more for you than anyone else as it will help you identify which concepts are well understood or a bit fuzzy in your own head. Someone mentioned they would have studied for the test had there been more time but thats not the idea here, so don't worry about being "graded". What you need to understand is how much you do or don't already know so you can direct your own study on Khan Academy, a book of your choice or whatever method you want to use.
If the basics are not understood well you will always find Math a tough subject, so best to face this early and fix it. Next week I'll have all the papers graded and we can go through some of the examples. I do however want to move on to "Order Precedence" or "Order of Operations" as the relates directly to expression evaluation in computing and basic programming.
I'll leave you with the answer to questions A & B which I added to the test today. I'll let you discuss the right answer shown below. I had a varied set of answers to these two questions. | 677.169 | 1 |
FAQ PAGE
This space will be used to post frequently asked questions, as they emerge during discussion forums:
1. Question:I have a problem with certain links on the Wiki. Who do I notify, and how do I contact them? Answer: For system or technical difficulties, please email the instructor at rsj5@uakron.edu .
2. Question:My Internet connection is not working. How do I contact the instructor? Answer: If your Internet connection is not working, call the instructor at 330-321-1090.
3. Question:How do I know what to read for the week, and what homework problems I have due? Answer: You will receive an email by noon Monday each week, containing your reading assignment and a Word document with homework problems.
4. Question:How do I know my group assignment and team members for the week's project? Answer: You will receive an email by noon Monday each week containing your group assignment and emails of team members.
5. Question:How do I submit my homework and projects? Answer: You should email homework problems to your instructor at rsj5@uakron.edu . Projects should also be emailed to me, as well as posted on the Project Posting Page of this Wiki (see the link to the left.)
6. Question:There seems to be a lot of assignments, and a lot of objectives we have to meet. Is this normal for this class? Answer: All Basic Math II classes, whether online or face-to-face, have to meet designated objectives. Students in a regular classroom are getting the same reading and homework assignments. You do have extra work, in terms of discussion postings, but students of online classes should expect to spend more time on their classwork than those in regular classes. On the bright side, you have access to online videos and math aids that might not be available to you in a regular classroom.
7. Question: I have always hated group work in the past, because I always wind up doing all of the work. What can I do if a group member is not doing his or her work? Answer: You can do two things. One: You can indicate that the student has not worked via the rubric assessment for that team member.
Two: If this becomes a chronic problem, you can email me about the issue at rsj5@uakron.edu . | 677.169 | 1 |

Was looking for book to teach measurement. I found it. Good referance on break down of lots of mathmatical stuff. The practical construction type mathmatics. Covers lots of items. No matter what kind of work or trade a person is doing information is universal.
This is one of those books that break it down so you can refer to the information & be able to use in the feild. I belive that a young school aged child can learn from these methods easily.
Author say's it in the begining of this book that what you get from this is up to the reader.
This is hands down one of the most practical real life math books available. As a full time carpenter for 30 years, I've used solutions to problems illustrated in this book many times; and it's a great teaching aid to ones new to the trade. Worth keeping in the truck as a reference. | 677.169 | 1 |

Summary
Updated to reflect current research, Algebraic Number Theory and Fermat's Last Theorem, Fourth Edition introduces fundamental ideas of algebraic numbers and explores one of the most intriguing stories in the history of mathematics—the quest for a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. The authors use this celebrated theorem to motivate a general study of the theory of algebraic numbers from a relatively concrete point of view. Students will see how Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem opened many new areas for future work.
Presents an important new result: Mihăilescu's proof of the Catalan conjecture of 1844
Revises and expands one chapter into two, covering classical ideas about modular functions and highlighting the new ideas of Frey, Wiles, and others that led to the long-sought proof of Fermat's Last Theorem
Improves and updates the index, figures, bibliography, further reading list, and historical remarks
Written by preeminent mathematicians Ian Stewart and David Tall, this text continues to teach students how to extend properties of natural numbers to more general number structures, including algebraic number fields and their rings of algebraic integers. It also explains how basic notions from the theory of algebraic numbers can be used to solve problems in number theory.

Reviews
"It is the discussion of [Fermat's Last Theorem], I think, that sets this book apart from others — there are a number of other texts that introduce algebraic number theory, but I don't know of any others that combine that material with the kind of detailed exposition of FLT that is found here...To summarize and conclude: this is an interesting and attractive book. It would make an attractive text for an early graduate course on algebraic number theory, as well as a nice source of information for people interested in FLT, and especially its connections with algebraic numbers." —Dr. Mark Hunacek, MAA Reviews, June 2016
Praise for Previous Editions "The book remains, as before, an extremely attractive introduction to algebraic number theory from the ideal-theoretic perspective." —Andrew Bremner, Mathematical Reviews, February 2003 | 677.169 | 1 |

Maths from Scratch for Biologists
Numerical ability is an essential skill for everyone studying the
biological sciences but many students are frightened by the
'perceived' difficulty of mathematics, and are nervous about
applying mathematical skills in their chosen field of study. Having
taught introductory maths and statistics for many years, Alan Cann
understands these challenges and just how invaluable an accessible,
confidence building textbook could be to the fearful student.
Unable to find a book pitched at the right level, that concentrated
on why numerical skills are useful to biologists, he wrote his own.
The result is Maths from Scratch for Biologists , a highly
instructive, informal text that explains step by step how and why
you need to tackle maths within the biological sciences.
Features:
* An accessible, jargon-busting approach to help readers master
basic mathematical, statistical and data handling techniques in
biology
* Numerous end of chapter problems to reinforce key concepts and
encourage students to test their newly acquired skills through
practise
* A handy, time-saving glossary
* A supplementary website with numerous problems and self-test
exercises
Alan Cann has worked in both the UK and USA, and in addition to teaching undergraduate and postgraduate biologists and medical students, he runs an active research laboratory at the University of Leicester, UK, studying the molecular biology and pathogenesis of viruses. He has been awarded numerous grants for educational research and was the inaugural winner of the Society for General Microbiology UK Wildy prize for Education in 2001.
Biology students will gain an appreciation of the basic
mathematical, statisical and data handling techniques that they
will need throughout their undergraduate career.
These skills are introduced using a problem-solving approach
that emphasises the biological background of the book rather than
the mathematical theory.
This book is written for biologists by a biologist with a
proven track record as the author of a successful virology
textbook.
Students purchasing the book are able to access a
password-protected web site for the book that includes numerous
problems and self-help exercises, to help them develop confidence
in their mathematical abilities through practise | 677.169 | 1 |
Mathematics
Quote Carousel
Mathematics is at once the ultimate creative pursuit – mathematicians create and explore abstract worlds, seeking elegance, pattern and beauty within – and the primary tool of modern science and technology. It has been studied for millennia, for reasons both practical and poetic, and fluency with mathematical ideas is central to a diverse range of fields.
At Oakham, we strive to provide a strong foundation of mathematical skills for all our students, and to realise the potential of each individual. We are a large department of 17 teachers who work together, striving to help all students achieve their potential.
In the Lower School, we lay a thorough foundation of algebraic, geometric and numerical skills, with and without calculators, and Form 1 compete on our 'Mad Maths Day', a day dedicated to puzzles, mathematical games and challenges.
Our Middle School students follow the Edexcel IGCSE course, the syllabus includes material on calculus, functions and set theory, and is excellent preparation for AS/A2 or the International Baccalaureate Diploma.
Many students choose to study Mathematics at A-level. We follow the Edexcel course: students study a mixture of Pure Mathematics, Mechanics and Statistics. We also offer the full Further Mathematics course, which provides a very thorough grounding for university-level study in Mathematics or related subjects, and leads to two A-levels.
Mathematics is a core component of the International Baccalaureate. There are three available options; Higher Level, Standard Level and Mathematical Studies.
Beyond the curriculum, we regularly enter the UKMT Mathematical Challenges, both individually and in the team competitions, and regularly have competitors reach the Olympiad and European Kangaroo follow-up stages. | 677.169 | 1 |

Every person should have a course in logic at some point. It is important for children to be prepared to argue logically, defend their positions, and spot fallacies. The only thing more frustrating than knowing your opponent is wrong is to have to combat a well-constructed, logical argument when you are unable. There is no real "defense" against sound logic and thinking. Many logic books are written at too high a level for younger students to comprehend. Canon Press says this course is written for "primary and secondary students." Cathy Duffy, however, says "the content is beyond typical high-school-level material." I have looked through this book and found it simpler to use and understand than the course I had in high school. I would hope that my 12 year olds could handle it without much difficulty. It is a complete and fairly rigorous course, and is from a Christian perspective. The course builds from basic to more complex, giving students the tools they need, with good examples along the way. Exercises teach logical statements, truth and validity, universals and particulars, categorized relationships, syllogism, logical fallacy, symbolic logic, and much more. The newest version of the course includes 36 lessons (with 39 consumable exercises). Definitions of important terms, key points, and caution signs regarding common errors are set apart in the margins of the text. The book begins with a section on defining terms, which lays the foundation for the lessons that follow. The book has a new cover, perfect binding, and has perforated exercise pages for easy removal. The Teacher's Edition includes daily lesson schedules; answers to all exercises, review questions, quizzes and tests; the entire content of the Student Text; and detailed daily lesson plans. The DVD Set includes lessons from Jim Nance from Logos School, who introduces 20 lessons that coordinate with the textbook. Jim has taught logic for years and co-authored the book, so his instruction is helpful. The Homeschool Package contains the Student Text, Teacher Edition, Test & Quiz Packet, and DVD Set. A book of additional questions is also available. 1001 Questions is a supplement that gives an average of 26 new questions for each lesson of the Introductory Logic text. These are helpfully divided by lesson and are numbered for quick reference. Answers are included. The book includes a CD-ROM that contains the digital version of the entire text in both Word and pdf formats. Make Introductory Logic one of their required courses and arm them for battle! | 677.169 | 1 |
These books will teach you about mathematical problem solving from the beginning. They cover the standard mathematics curriculum (before calculus) in content, but they will show you how to use the concepts to tackle hard problems.
But yeah, the only way to get better at this stuff is to do a lot of problems that do not appear trivial to you. So if you do decide to get these books, try to work on the problems first, because you can't learn this sort of thing just by reading text.
I was looking at some of the questions from various competitions for high schools and colleges and their questions, and I couldn't begin to solve the majority of them.
Remember that these are competitions so the problems are made sufficiently hard that many good students won't be able to solve them. Therefore you shouldn't feel bad about not being able to solve them. This is not to say that you shouldn't try though. Recreational/competition math is kind of fun and it's always cool if you get to a level where you get to go to competitions like the IMO or simply some training camps.
The book by Engel is sort of special. Personally I don't really like its style and feel that it is incredibly hard to learn from, but on the other hand it contains some tidbits that you simply won't find anywhere else. I think you should save Engel till you really need it. The art of problem solving books are of course quite good and thorough, but there are some alternatives if you are interested. I never used it myself, but I know some people at the IMO really liked The Art and Craft of Problem Solving by Zeitz as an introduction to contest math.
Terrence Tao also wrote a little introductory book called Solving Mathematical Problems. Personally I find it a little dull and without many real insights, but it could very well be helpful for a beginner with a slightly different taste than mine.
Another approach could be to consider the books by Titu Andresscu such as 104 number theory problems, x combinatorial problems, y trigonometry problems, etc. (just do a search for Titu Andreescu on a book site to see the books). These are however aimed at a somewhat experienced audience so perhaps these are good once you feel you have master The art and craft of problem solving or find the AoPS books too slow.
And of course I need to second what snipez90 said: you need to work on problems to become better. | 677.169 | 1 |

Description
This book includes many meaningful investigations that use the Casio PRIZM graphing calculator to foster students' geometric thinking. The investigations focus on using the construction and measurement capabilities of the Casio PRIZM and the picture library to support students in "constructing" their own understanding of geometric concepts.
The eight chapters in this book are purposefully aligned with the study of geometry in grades 5-12. This book engages students in using the Casio PRIZM to construct their own understanding of geometry. For example, students use the PRIZM to investigate geometric properties of reflections by viewing an image of the U.S. Capitol Building in its Reflection Pool. While relaxing by a swimming pool with a PRIZM in one hand and lemonade in the other, students will determine the volume of a pentagonal prism. Students will also take a PRIZM on a safari in Africa to explore area formulas for trapezoids, triangles, and circles. | 677.169 | 1 |

This textbook introduces the basic notions of group theory by a thorough treatment of important examples, including complex numbers, modular arithmetic, symmetries, and permutations. Also included are applications to communications, cryptography, and coding theory.
This book is our best effort at making "Abstract Algebra" as down-to earth as possible. We use concrete mathematical structures such as the complex numbers, integers mod n, symmetries, and permutations to introduce some of the beautifully general ideas of group theory. Along the way, we give applications to signal processing, cryptography and coding theory, and we draw connections with other branches of mathematics such as geometry and number theory.

Team homework problems are challenging problems designed to make you think about the material. You should not expect
to sit down and figure these problems out in a few minutes and be done with them, even if you were able to do that
with the regular assigned homework. Expect to spend several hours on each team homework assignment. You will be put into
a group of 5 students either the first or second day of class. Together you will decide an appropriate time when ALL of you
can meet to work on the problems. Each of you should make an effort to solve the problems before the meeting, but it is
not expected that you come to the meeting with the problems solved completely. During the meeting you should strive to
not only solve each problem, but to make sure EVERY member of your team has a complete understanding of the solutions. It is
essential that each person understand the solutions as the concepts tested by these problems will show up on exams!
Once you have solved as many of the problems as you can, you should decide ONE person to write up the solutions to be handed in. Who writes
up the solutions should be rotated amongst the group. After the solutions are written up, you should all meet a SECOND time to
look over the solutions and make sure that what is being turned in represents your best efforts.
You will be graded not just on whether you have the correct answer, but also upon your presentation of the solution. Your solution should be
written up on complete sentences giving a full explanation of what you're doing. You should write your solutions not as if I will be reading them,
but as if someone else in the class who has no idea of the solution is reading it. That person should be able to read your solution and come away
with a complete understanding of the solution. If you have questions on what I mean by this, or how you should write you solutions,
please stop by my office and ask. | 677.169 | 1 |

Books
Geometry & Topology
In this book, developed from courses taught at the University of London, the author aims to show the value of using topological methods in combinatorial group theory. The topological material is given in terms of the fundamental groupoid, giving results and proofs that are both stronger and simpler than the traditional ones. Several chapters deal with covering spaces and complexes, an important method, which is then applied to yield the major Schreier and Kurosh subgroup theorems. The author presents a full account of Bass-Serre theory and discusses the word problem, in particular, its unsolvability and the Higman Embedding Theorem. Included for completeness are the relevant results of computability theory.
Aimed at those acquainted with basic point-set topology and algebra, this text goes up to the frontiers of current research in topological fields (more precisely, topological rings that algebraically are fields).
The reader is given enough background to tackle the current literature without undue additional preparation. Many results not in the text (and many illustrations by example of theorems in the text) are included among the exercises. Sufficient hints for the solution of the exercises are offered so that solving them does not become a major research effort for the reader. A comprehensive bibliography completes the volume.
This valuable teachers resource provides teachers with classroom tested activities that help children develop in-depth understandings about 2-D and 3-D geometry concepts and spatial awareness.
Understanding Geometry is more than a book about geometry activities. Kathy provides the following resources for teachers: - Background information on what we need to know about geometry - Assessment and observation moments are highlighted - Geometry Terminology Glossary - Planning Guide for Grades K-3 - Task Cards
FROM THE INTRODUCTION: "This volume grew from a discussion by the editors on the difficulty of finding good thesis problems for graduate students in topology. Although at any given time we each had our own favorite problems, we acknowledged the need to offer students a wider selection from which to choose a topic peculiar to their interests. One of us remarked, `Wouldn't it be nice to have a book of current unsolved problems always available to pull down from the shelf?' The other replied `Why don't we simply produce such a book?' Two years later and not so simply, here is the resulting volume. The intent is to provide not only a source book for thesis-level problems but also a challenge to the best researchers in the field."
This book tells the story of Diophantine analysis, a subject that, owing to its thematic proximity to algebraic geometry, became fashionable in the last half century and has remained so ever since. This new treatment of the methods of Diophantus - a person whose very existence has long been doubted by most historians of mathematics - will be accessible to readers who have taken some university mathematics. It includes the elementary facts of algebraic geometry indispensable for its understanding. The heart of the book is a fascinating account of the development of Diophantine methods during the Renaissance and in the work of Fermat. This account is continued to our own day and ends with an afterword by Joseph Silverman who notes the most recent developments including the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.
The subject of space-filling curves has fascinated mathematicians for over a century and has intrigued many generations of students of mathematics. Working in this area is like skating on the edge of reason. Unfortunately, no comprehensive treatment has ever been attempted other than the gallant effort by W. Sierpiriski in 1912. At that time, the subject was still in its infancy and the most interesting and perplexing results were still to come. Besides, Sierpiriski's paper was written in Polish and published in a journal that is not readily accessible (Sierpiriski [2]). Most of the early literature on the subject is in French, German, and Polish, providing an additional raison d'etre for a comprehensive treatment in English. While there was, understandably, some intensive research activity on this subject around the turn of the century, contributions have, nevertheless, continued up to the present and there is no end in sight, indicating that the subject is still very much alive. The recent interest in fractals has refocused interest on space filling curves, and the study of fractals has thrown some new light on this small but venerable part of mathematics. This monograph is neither a textbook nor an encyclopedic treatment of the subject nor a historical account, but it is a little of each. While it may lend structure to a seminar or pro-seminar, or be useful as a supplement in a course on topology or mathematical analysis, it is primarily intended for self-study by the aficionados of classical analysis.
This textbook is an introduction to the classical theory of functions of a complex variable. The author's aim is to explain the basic theory in an easy-to-understand and careful way. He emphasizes geometrical considerations and, to avoid topological difficulties associated with complex analysis, begins by deriving Cauchy's integral formula in a topologically simple case and then deduces the basic properties of continuous and differentiable functions. The general versions of Cauchy's Theorem and integral formula are proved in Chapter 2. The remainder of the book deals with conformal mappings, analytic continuation, and Riemann's Mapping Theorem. The presentation here is very full and detailed. The book is profusely illustrated and includes many examples. Problems are collected together at the end of the book. It should be an ideal text for first courses in complex analysis. | 677.169 | 1 |

Upper Division ODE vs PDE class
I'm trying to decide between taking an ODE class or a PDE class next. I have already done Calculus 1,2,3 so I already know some ODEs and PDEs and linear algebra. I'm a 3rd year mathematics major with a minor in Statistics and I'm interested in applied mathematics.
I know that the difficulty of a course is loosely related to the course material.
So I was wondering which of them would be harder?
Which one of them would be more educational (i.e. I would learn more out of it)?
And which one would be more fun in your opinion?If you liked calc at all, then ODE is super fun. I'm not a very mathish person, but I enjoyed ODE quite a bit.
I haven't done any PDE courses, so I can't compare it to that, this is purely from what I thought about ODEThanks for your input, I've had similar opinion from other people that I have asked.
I found a more sophisticated outline of the second half of the PDE course:Interesting, I don't really think my class is an engineering/physics ODE class that is structured like the Calculus sequences taken by all majors (math, physics, chemists and engineers). The exams contain both computation and conceptual questionsI really don't like that attitude towards engineering coursework that a lot of math and science majors take. They are not cookbook classes and if you don't understand the concepts and theory then you won't be able to solve the problems, when I took the differential equations course for engineers we learned the theory and how the material actually applies to real life systems. For example, there were mixing problems which are important for a lot of industries as simple as they may seem. We also had more complicated problems that involved more complicated systems, but nonetheless they were real world applications. Mind you I have also taken the differential equations course for math majors and it was honestly boring, the same theory as the engineering courses in more detail of course but those classes often leave you wondering why am I learning this material. Physics majors take courses in fluid mechanics, but I assure you a good bit of them have no idea what the material is useful for.
Now to answer the question, I was forced to take an applied mathematics for engineers course as part of our nuclear engineering curriculum. The course is essentially a PDE course, and I have to say for nuclear engineering we don't use any of the material from that course except for eigenvalues which I picked up in linear algebra. A lot of the material is as another poster mentioned outdated and is usually the round about way to do things, especially when you get to the wave and heat equations. For problems that would take me maybe a sheet to solve using concepts and techniques learned in my heat transfer course, it took me multiple pages to solve the same type problem using techniques from the applied mathematics course. Not only that but the problems were boring and the book did a poor job of explaining concepts, this is the book we used if you are interested
The ODE course will be almost completely useless for your interests in applied mathematics, from what I can tell. I am simultaneously taking both courses you mention. The ODE's course is "interesting" and I've learned a few useful things, but practically everything I have learned in the PDE course is useful and relevant to my interests (in physics, granted, but that is essentially applied mathematics anyway).It is also incorrect to suggest that the pure ODE course will be harder or easier, this is entirely dependent upon the professor.
(anybody who would like to object this point is more than welcome, I'm rather interested in seeing a good justification for pure mathematics).
I'm not sure that you phrased this statement correctly because as it stands it is a hilariously ridiculous statement: the "justification" for pure mathematics is self-evident, even in the context that you specified.
That almost seems like suggesting physics is worthless because you could just do engineering classesThat's not quite right IMO.
Knowledge of the math theory plus zero knowledge of numerical methods is completely useless, unless you plan to do all your work writing on parchment with a quill pen
Knowledge of both is ... well, not useless, and not so dangerous as the above (nothing is 100% safe, of course). And sometimes, it even stops you wasting a few months or years trying to compute the uncomputable.
This is really interesting, I've yet to hear this; could you elaborate? I actually have long thought pure mathematics to be quite beautiful and have enjoyed many such courses, and (from a personal standpoint) would like to see a reason to think that it's not just all fluffGroup theory is used all the time in chemistry: [Broken]
Differential geometry and topology is used in General Relativity, see books like Wald.
Harmonic analysis can be used in image processing and give rise to stuff like wavelets.
Number theory is used in computer security.
And above all, it is philosophically pleasing to put all the physics on a rigorous footing.
And can you tell me how useful QFT, QED or the entire quest for the Higgs boson is? How useful is the study of cosmology and the big bang? I guess it's all fluff too
During a undergraduate mathematics course on fluid dynamics at Cambridge in about 2003, the lecturer made a statement to the effect that aerodynamics was a boring, solved problem. "Planes fly, what else do you want to know?"
Some years later, I read a paper in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics by an engineer at Boeing who was not satisfied with the conventional explanation for why planes fly (the first sentence of the paper runs "This work was motivated by long-standing dissatisfaction with the theory of induced drag, in quite a few respects.")
To answer the OP's question: the ODE course will at least expose you to analysis of non-linear systems. All the equations discussed in the PDE course are linear.
You seem to be speaking off the cuff without knowing much if any of the uses of pure math is what this seems like. The "justification" for pure math isn't gauged by how it fits into engineering. Why the hell would pure mathematicians care about that? If that's the methodology then heck a lot of esoteric subsets of physics are "unjustified".
Why do the conclusions of pure mathematics seem so nonsensical when compared to the real world, then? For instance, I've heard it told that "matrices with repeated eigenvalues are not generic; they are, in a sense, rare." This observation, that there are far more ways for a characteristic polynomial to not touch the axis than there are ways for it to touch the axis, seems utterly meaningless (if it is not meaningless, be my guest to point out why) when one is confronted with the fact that repeated eigenvalues occur very routinely in applications. Another professor declared that "separation of variables is a terrible way to solve PDE's"; but an applied mathematician later told me that it is a trick they always try if they can.
Notice how whenever new physics is passed down to the engineers, it's not really simplified. If you're going to do research in solid state electronics, you need a thorough background in quantum mechanics, as good as any physicist working in the same field (from what I know). Yet nobody except mathematicians cares about the extreme rigor imposed in say, real analysis or advanced calculus (None of the theoretical physicists I've talked to have ever even taken such courses).
To me, math is a symbolic language used to describe problems. An algebraic equation solved for a variable is a organizational, book keeping tool to keep the information organized; you could just think it through without using the visual organization, but this would be slower and more error prone. The same holds for integrals, differential equations, and all manner of other computational things. Studying such a tool in and of itself is odd to begin with, but it's odder still to study the hammer with a disdain for hitting nails, and a belief that hammers are interesting by themselves.
This is why I suggest to the OP that s/he concentrate more on applied courses in computational methods and applied mathematics, as they will be much more useful to him/her. | 677.169 | 1 |

Selling Mathematics Books Winning the Numbers Game
by Michael Brook
#37, 21 February 2005
Mathematics is a unique subject. It grows and advances like other fields but rarely is any "old" mathematics deemed incorrect or even out of date. Sciences like biology and physics are different. Today's theories generally replace yesterday's. Social sciences like psychology and sociology are subject to the same dynamics. In fields where sciences and social sciences are applied (e.g., to computers or education), changes in knowledge can happen even faster.
How do these observations about the nature of knowledge in various fields apply to book buying and selling? Like this: If I am at a sale and I see a 30-year-old mathematics text, I will seriously consider buying it. If I see a 5-year-old book on computer operating systems, I will skip it without looking back.
In this article I will take you through the realm of mathematics books and give you an idea of what is potentially valuable and what to avoid. You do not have to know the mathematics contained inside the books to succeed at buying and selling these profitably. However, as in all fields, subject knowledge does give the bookseller an edge. I simply hope that after reading this article you will be more likely to look at mathematics books than you were before and not be inclined skip over them at sales, if that was your habit.
Mathematics books that one might find while book scouting fall roughly into five categories, some of which may overlap:
Introductory undergraduate textbooks
Supplemental materials associated with #1, such as student solutions manuals
Introductory Undergraduate Books
Currently, introductory courses in college mathematics include (along with remedial courses): Arithmetic, Algebra, Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, Liberal Arts Mathematics, Statistics, Finite Mathematics, Discrete Mathematics, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. Many titles in this category review (or elaborate on) high school material, so things may look familiar to you when you page through the books.
With the exception of some calculus students, most users in this category are enrolled in non-math, non-engineering, or non-science majors. Consequently, when the semester ends, most of these books are usually sold, given away, donated or otherwise disposed of. Typically, they are also large and heavy. In the effort to appeal to the largest number of mathematics departments, publishers cram them with everything imaginable. Once every three to four years the publisher will issue a new edition. Some teachers won't immediately use the new edition, so the previous edition may retain some resale value, but rarely will anyone use a book more than one edition old. (There are notable exceptions - for example, Finite Mathematics by Maki and Thompson (4th Edition, 1996) which has been in use for years at many universities.)
Recent textbooks can be quite lucrative for the bookseller. By "recent" I mean publication dates between 2003 and 2006. When I am at a big book sale and time is of the essence, I usually reject any introductory mathematics texts that are more than three years old. Currently, this means I would reject 2002 or older editions if I didn't have time to ScoutPal them.
When mathematics textbooks are published, the publisher makes available a number of ancillary (supplemental) materials to both students and teachers. The most common of these are student solutions manuals. These are books that contain answers, sometimes with carefully worked-out steps, to all or some of the exercises contained in the corresponding textbook. Though not usually required by instructors, solutions manuals are sometimes bundled with textbooks and sold as a package. Generally, tese manuals have nowhere near the market value that the textbooks do, but a few of them bring respectable prices. You will also often see ancillary books produced for teachers, such as test banks, study guides and calculator supplements.
There are several potential problems with ancillary materials. First, while they usually don't have much value, booksellers often mistake them for textbooks in the heat of a sale and buy them anyway. This confusion occurs especially with ancillary books in large (8 ½ x 11) paperback format - a size similar to many current softcover textbooks. Also, Amazon generally prohibits the sale of ancillary materials.
There's no rule against giving them away, however. If you can pick up ancillaries for free or nearly so, say, at a bag sale or if you find them bundled with a textbook, you can offer them as an incentive when you sell the textbooks. This may give you an edge over a competitor offering only the textbook.
Advanced Undergraduate, Graduate and Professional Level
Back to textbooks per se, but now at a higher level. Here, the situation changes. These books are typically smaller than introductory-level texts. Also, unless you have special training in mathematics, you may not be able to understand what these books are about - in fact, the symbols themselves may not even be familiar. In contrast, when you look at an introductory-level text (with some exceptions), the symbols will usually look similar to those you encountered in high school. Another important difference: publishers issue new editions less frequently, and at very high levels, teachers sometimes use textbooks 30 years old or older. Note that many of these books will not have ISBN numbers, but a recent ScoutPal upgrade enables you to enter book titles and/or LCCN's - that is, confirming values in the field is now possible.
The following list includes samples of older, higher level mathematics books I have sold over the last year, along with publication dates, sale prices, and venues they were acquired in. As you read the titles, pay special attention to terminology. Though some of it is familiar (e.g., algebra, geometry, statistics, equations, etc.), some of it is not, and this will give you a feel for what to look for.
Topics in Algebra (2nd edition) Israel N. Herstein, 1975, $65.00 (note that this is advanced, not high school or introductory college algebra) Goodwill.
Measure and Category: A Survey of the Analogies Between Topological and Measure Spaces, John C. Oxtoby, 1980, $53 (cheapest currently available copy - $235.) Paperback exchange bookstore.
If you are not impressed by, for example, 1995, 1999, and 2000 publication dates, you should be. Spans of 10 years typically contain 3 edition cycles, those of 5 or 6 years, 2. Any textbook older than one cycle (approximately three years) and still selling for healthy prices is a rare find. However, books like these can be found in the mathematics field.
Here are three titles that are not strictly classified as mathematics textbooks.
The Pythagorean Proposition (1968 reprint of 1940 original), Elisha S. Loomis, $40 (mathematics history; cheapest currently available copy I have been able to locate is $144). Personal collection.
What not to buy in this category:
Dover Publications titles. During a recent visit to the mathematics section at Borders, I found a substantial number of Dover titles. They are inexpensive, usually issued in trade paperback format, and remain in print for years. Often, these are often reprints of classics and other works that have aged into the public domain. Values, therefore, are usually low, and unless the book has a high cover price and is in new or like new condition, it's probably not worth bothering with.
Conference proceedings and collections of articles. Like groups in other fields, mathematical organizations hold annual meetings. Often, papers presented and/or talks given at a particular conference (called proceedings) are published as books and usually carry a high cover price. Despite the book format, however, their content more closely resembles that of magazines or journals - in other words, the material is usually time-sensitive and quickly obsolesces. Values usually reflect this.
In general, any mathematics book that consists of a collection of essays or articles. Like conference proceedings, these often obsolesce quickly as well. Even if Amazon comparables are high, don't be fooled.
Popular Books with Mathematical Content
Math Non-Fiction
Mathematics books targeted at the general public sometimes rise to the level of professional textbooks, but many of these titles are more superficial - that is, they are essentially attempts to (painlessly) explain more difficult concepts. In the attempt to avoid pain, however, they often avoid the topic as well! For booksellers, the important thing to remember is that more scholarly books (the former) will generally have higher values and less robust sales rankings.
Supplemental Texts and Self-Help Books
Books in this category include general tutorials for improving mathematics skills and more narrowly targeted preparation guides for students taking specific exams - for example, SAT, GRE, etc. The latter are usually published in large, softcover format, and new editions are published annually to accommodate test changes. I have only one piece of advice concerning these books: in my experience, the only titles that have significant value are current editions of test preparation guides in new or nearly new condition. Last year's exam prep book just doesn't cut it. One usually runs across out-of-date editions at library sales, etc. If you are lucky enough to find a source of latest editions of these books, more power to you!
Mathematical Keywords
The following list of mathematics terminology (which, by the way, is not exhaustive) will help you spot mathematics books by title without having to open them.
Finally, any combination and/or variation on the word mathematics will signal a book worth checking.
"Mathematics and ...," "Mathematics of ...," "Mathematics for ...," and
"Mathematical ...." For example (these are actual titles): Mathematics and Sex,
Mathematics of Juggling, Mathematics for Electronics, and Mathematical Anthropology.
Related Areas
There are several areas worth looking at that are related to or are in some way concerned with mathematics. Subjects will have a highly theoretical component and tend to be abstract. Like mathematics, older books in these fields are often still valuable because the knowledge they contain has not obsolesced as is so often the case with the physical, biological, social and applied sciences. Some of these areas include: statistics, research methods, logic, philosophy, theoretical computer science, linguistics, perspective drawing (in art), chess, games, gambling, and horse racing.
A note about computer science: the emphasis here is on titles with in-depth content that has very little or nothing to do with discussions of specific hardware, software or operating systems. The latter often become obsolete in two or three years, but those that examine computer concepts in the most general way are far more likely to have enduring value. For example, a friend of mine recently stumbled upon an old book on the theory of structured programming that he studied 25 years ago. Today it still sells for $30.
There are two other important related areas - mathematics education and mathematics history. Mathematics education books can be valuable but usually have a smaller (selling) window of opportunity than dedicated mathematics titles. Education titles often have psychological elements, and of course the emphasis is on teaching and learning. History titles examine how and under what mathematical, social, political, religious, scientific and economic circumstances various mathematical developments occurred - that is, elements of mathematics, history and literature are combined. These may be valued, in part, for writing quality.
There are more saleable mathematics books out there than you might suspect. Don't ignore them!

In elementary school, children are introduced to basic mathematics such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. In middle school, students will study basic algebra and concepts of variable, integers and polynomials. Many students will have completed some form of pre-algebra or even algebra 1 by the time they enter high school. Geometry is occasionally taught in eighth grade as an honors course. In high school, the general math curriculum includes algebra 1, algebra 2 and geometry in ninth and tenth grades. High school mathematics can continue with the study of trigonometry, around 11th grade. Students will complete their high school math courses senior year with either pre-calculus or calculus, although that is usually only offered at an honors level

COURSE DESCRIPTION
The primary focus of ESL Math II is on learning the English necessary to talk about math and to learn math in an English speaking country. The math instruction will be on whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percentages, and proportions. As we go through the quarter, we will work on word problems: how to read them, how to understand the question being asked, how to choose the appropriate math operation and how to present your answer in a way that provides the desired solution.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The emphasis in this class will be on active learning, which includes participation in small and large group activities. We will be using material from various sources, including internet sites. The development of listening, speaking, reading and writing skills will be integrated to improve both oral and written communication. At the end of this course, you will be able to:
Demonstrate proficiency in the addition, subtraction and multiplication of whole numbers
Demonstrate proficiency in the division of whole numbers as it's taught in the US
Demonstrate proficiency in the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of fractions
Demonstrate proficiency in the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of decimals
Demonstrate proficiency in the calculation of percentages and proportions
Demonstrate proficiency in using charts and graphs to communicate results involving math
Demonstrate proficiency in reading and understanding word problems
Demonstrate proficiency in explaining how to solve math and word problems involving math through speaking and writing
INSTRUCTOR'S EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
I love learning, and I want you to love it, too. As a teacher, it is my goal to help you become an independent learner and critical thinker. I treat education as a lifetime activity, which includes all of your previous experiences as well as those in the future. I want you to combine your life experiences outside of school with your classroom experiences.
Classroom activities will be more student-centered rather than instructor-centered. As a teacher, I believe that you are responsible for your own learning. I can't make you learn, but I can provide you with opportunities to do so. I encourage you to think about your own experiences, listen closely to and work respectfully with your classmates, and learn and think about math outside of class. Math really is all around you!

Maths study tips
Mostly Math's Study Tips
First, the General Stuff:
Try your homework on your own first
The first step is figuring out where your problems are. No one else can figure that out for you, and if you don't honestly attempt your homework, you'll never know what you can or can't do. Someone else can help you learn the material, but this process is much more efficient if you already have a list of questions or topics that you need help with.
Learn the way your teacher wants you to do the questions
Many teachers want you to do things "their way" so it's important to have clear, complete examples in your notes from which to study. We have all had a teacher who refuses to give credit for having the right answer, but the wrong form, or method. Instead of getting into a power struggle, and getting on your teacher's bad side, learn what is expected of you and use that as your model.
Learn the "vocabulary" of your math class
Many students struggle on tests because they learn to just look at the "math part" of the question and go on instinct. They do not actually read the question, often because they wouldn't really understand the words in the question anyway. When studying, pay particular attention to the wording of questions. Learn what is of expected of you when the question says, "Simplify" or "Evaluate." Most students don't realize that sometimes half the questions actually tell you exactly what to do, if you just understood what the instructions said!
Don't think that just doing the assigned homework is always enough practice
One of the biggest mistakes math students make is thinking that they should be fine because they did the assigned homework. Most students are not adequately prepared for tests if all they've done is keep up with the homework. You may be glad at first if you find yourself with a teacher that only assigns a handful of homework questions per night, but these are exactly the students who wonder why their marks aren't higher. You must continue to do questions -- even the ones your teacher didn't assign -- until you know you understand it. Otherwise, you're just fooling yourself.
Review questions from many different days' homework at the same time
It's easy to focus on one kind of question at a time, but you have to learn how to do questions when they appear in any order. One helpful strategy is to write out several different kinds of questions on separate index cards. On the back, work out a full solution. When studying, reach into the pile and pick a card at random. When you can successfully complete any question you pull out, then you know you're ready for a test.
Be clear about which material is fair game for tests
Will tests be based on questions from the text book only? Which topics will be covered on the test? If you don't know, ask! Warning… | 677.169 | 1 |

Learning pure mathematics
I have a pretty good understanding of basic maths (highschool) and I was actually good with more advanced maths like integrals (university) a while ago, something like 10 years ago. The thing is I'm really rusted and I'd like to get back at it, but I don't know where to start. I feel lost. I would love to go in deep with pure mathematics. Where should I start? Thanxs that... thatThe mathematics that I had learned in my yonder years were impure practices of mathematicianry. Y axis's were replaced with Z axis's and Z axis's were replaced with y axis's to recreate the logical fallacy that no one will ever understand math, even in its purest form, the pure mathematics that you speak of.
I saw somewhere some mentioned learn matlab, I second this as an engineer + applied maths student matlab is fantastic. Not only does it provide a useful way to verify your answer and compute numerical methods, but it also seriously reinforces understanding concepts because you're forced to code it. This is as opposed to just learning symbolic manipulations, which is no good or fun as you get deeper in to maths. I'd suggest reading good academic literature, not the stupid Stewart calculus book that everywhere seems to use, that really has some good exposition and explanation of the why of the maths. Texts that I own that I find to be really useful Calculus by Michael Spivak (has loads of good juicy meat that is helping me get into real analysis), div grad curl and all that by schey ( a fantastic guide into vector analysis).
But in terms of where to start in skill, start from the bottom. Look at basic algebra, check and see if you understand and can apply it well, then do that with just about every subject after, calculus follows itself quite well into its numerous subdivisions. I do highly suggest learning linear algebra either before reintroducing yourself to calculus, as it does better job of explaining certain things about calculus much better than calculus can itself. | 677.169 | 1 |

The Geometry of Minkowski Spacetime: An Introduction to the Mathematics of the Special Theory of Relativity(Paperback)
Synopsis
This book offers a presentation of the special theory of relativity that is mathematically rigorous and yet spells out in considerable detail the physical significance of the mathematics. It treats, in addition to the usual menu of topics one is accustomed to finding in introductions to special relativity, a wide variety of results of more contemporary origin. These include Zeeman's characterization of the causal automorphisms of Minkowski spacetime, the Penrose theorem on the apparent shape of a relativistically moving sphere, a detailed introduction to the theory of spinors, a Petrov-type classification of electromagnetic fields in both tensor and spinor form, a topology for Minkowski spacetime whose homeomorphism group is essentially the Lorentz group, and a careful discussion of Dirac's famous Scissors Problem and its relation to the notion of a two-valued representation of the Lorentz group. This second edition includes a new chapter on the de Sitter universe which is intended to serve two purposes.
The first is to provide a gentle prologue to the steps one must take to move beyond special relativity and adapt to the presence of gravitational fields that cannot be considered negligible. The second is to understand some of the basic features of a model of the empty universe that differs markedly from Minkowski spacetime, but may be recommended by recent astronomical observations suggesting that the expansion of our own universe is accelerating rather than slowing down. The treatment presumes only a knowledge of linear algebra in the first three chapters, a bit of real analysis in the fourth and, in two appendices, some elementary point-set topology. The first edition of the book received the 1993 CHOICE award for Outstanding Academic Title. Reviews of first edition: "...a valuable contribution to the pedagogical literature which will be enjoyed by all who delight in precise mathematics and physics." (American Mathematical Society, 1993) "Where many physics texts explain physical phenomena by means of mathematical models, here a rigorous and detailed mathematical development is accompanied by precise physical interpretations." (CHOICE, 1993) "...his talent in choosing the most significant results and ordering them within the book can't be denied.

worldmoves from the
earliest evidence for mathematical activity, before the time of the Egyptians
and Babylonians, through the achievements of classical Greece to Euclid's
Elements and the great geometers Archimedes and Apollonius.
Through the Middle Ages to
the seventeenth century . We follow the development
of the algebraic approach through Muslim culture and then the rediscovery
in Europe of classical Greek texts at the end of the sixteenth century,
which helped lead to a flowering of mathematics in the next century. We look
at the time of Napier (logarithms) in Scotland; Descartes (algebraic geometry)
in France; Kepler in Germany and Galileo in Italy applying mathematics to
the world; and the invention of the calculus.
The seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries.The calculus was invented, independently
and in rather different ways, by Newton and Leibniz (building on the work
of many earlier mathematicians). What were the consequences of this? We
trace some developments through the eighteenth century, and examine how algebraic
concerns reached almost their modern form in the work of the great Swiss
mathematician Leonhard Euler.
Topics in nineteenth-century
mathematics. Is Euclid's 'parallel postulate' necessarily
true, or can other logically consistent geometries be devised? Can a formula
be found for solving equations of the fifth degree or, if not, why not?
Were the foundations of the calculus secure - if not, what to do about
it? Can calculation be mechanized, and at what cost? Can you 'prove'
a theorem by using a computer? These are some of the questions discussed
in this survey of characteristic topics of nineteenth-century mathematics
that are the basis for many of the concerns and approaches of mathematics
in the twentieth century.
Topics in twentieth century
mathematics. This part is based
on the students project which brings a brilliant collection of 20th-century
mathematical theories, leading the reader on a fascinating journey of discovery
and insight.

The Mathematics Curriculum for the High School of the Future
The mathematics curriculum of the future must meet the needs of mathematics, physical sciences, social sciences, engineering, technology, industrial management, and other areas of human endeavor as they are carried on in the second half of the twentieth century. If we are to proceed wisely in constructing a curriculum for the future we must examine first some defects of the present curriculum, second, the present mathematical needs of our society, and third the changing concepts and new developments in mathematics. Then we must temper this mathematical knowledge with our knowledge of the maturity and learning ability of the high school population | 677.169 | 1 |

Unit 35: Further Analytical Methods for Engineers
Unit 35:
Further
Analytical Methods for
Engineers
This unit aims to further develop the analytical knowledge and
techniques necessary to analyse and solve a variety of engineering situations
and problems.
• Unit abstract
This unit has been designed to enable learners to use number systems,
graphical and numerical methods, vectors, matrices and ordinary differential
equations to analyse, model and solve realistic engineering problems.
Learners will use estimation techniques and error arithmetic to
establish realistic results from experiments and general laboratory work. They
will then consider the conversion of number systems from one base to another
and the application of the binary number system to logic circuits. Complex
numbers and their application to the solution of engineering problems are also
studied.
Learners
will look at the use of graphical techniques together with various methods of numerical
integration (for example Simpson's rules) and estimation (for example
Newton-Raphson). They will then go on to analyse and model engineering
situations using vector geometry and matrix methods.
Finally, learners will study both first and second order differential
equations and their application to a variety of engineering situations
dependant upon the learner's chosen discipline.
• Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this unit a
learner will:
1Be able to analyse and model engineering
situations and solve problems using number systems
2Be able to

This course is a prerequisite for Numerical Analysis II (Part II and
Diploma).
Aims
The aims of this course are to provide introductions to floating-point
arithmetic, numerical analysis and numerical software. Current
implementations of floating-point arithmetic will be described. The
basic principles of good numerical techniques will be illustrated by
examples, but it will be shown that the design of a numerical
algorithm is not necessarily straightforward, even for simple
problems. The emphasis of the course will be on principles and
practicalities rather than mathematical analysis. | 677.169 | 1 |

INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOMEWORK
DO's
Use 8.5 x 11 paper. White or yellow (unbleached is fine, but no
other colors or sizes).
Write on only one side. You may use recycled paper with writing
or typing on the other side. I will only look at one side of each page.
If multiple pages, staple in the upper left hand corner (no
"dog ear" or paper clips).
Write your name and BU ID number clearly at the top left corner
of the 1st page and number the
pages.
Leave space. Extra space between problems, around formulas and even
between lines makes your paper much more readable.
Use lined
paper unless you are very good a writing straight and with a consistent
size without lines.
Always write in complete sentences. Even (in fact, especially) the
equations should be part of sentences. Please use notation as appropriate
(i.e., y=2x is fine and should NOT be written "y equals two times x",
the "=" symbol is the verb).
Good tests are to ask yourself "Is this like it is written in the text?"
or
"If I read exactly what I have written, in order, no added words, to
someone over the phone, would they understand?"
DON'Ts
DO NOT: Hand in pages ripped from spiral note books.
DO NOT: Use paperclips or "dog-ear" papers together.
DO NOT: Hand in pages out of order.
DO NOT: Crowd your work, write tiny near the end of a problem
or write up
the side of the page (just go on to the next page). | 677.169 | 1 |
