This textbook is distinguished from other texts on the subject by the depth of the presentation and the discussion of the calculus of moving surfaces, which is an extension of tensor calculus to deforming manifolds.
Designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, this text invites its audience to take a fresh look at previously learned material through the prism of tensor calculus. Once the framework is mastered, the student is introduced to new material which includes differential geometry on manifolds, shape optimization, boundary perturbation and dynamic fluid film equations.
The language of tensors, originally championed by Einstein, is as fundamental as the languages of calculus and linear algebra and is one that every technical scientist ought to speak. The tensor technique, invented at the turn of the 20th century, is now considered classical. Yet, as the author shows, it remains remarkably vital and relevant. The author's skilled lecturing capabilities are evident by the inclusion of insightful examples and a plethora of exercises. A great deal of material is devoted to the geometric fundamentals, the mechanics of change of variables, the proper use of the tensor notation and the discussion of the interplay between algebra and geometry. The early chapters have many words and few equations. The definition of a tensor comes only in Chapter 6 – when the reader is ready for it. While this text maintains a consistent level of rigor, it takes great care to avoid formalizing the subject.
The last part of the textbook is devoted to the Calculus of Moving Surfaces. It is the first textbook exposition of this important technique and is one of the gems of this text. A number of exciting applications of the calculus are presented including shape optimization, boundary perturbation of boundary value problems and dynamic fluid film equations developed by the author in recent years. Furthermore, the moving surfaces framework is used to offer new derivations of classical results such as the geodesic equation and the celebrated Gauss-Bonnet theorem.
Manifolds, the higher-dimensional analogs of smooth curves and surfaces, are fundamental objects in modern mathematics. Combining aspects of algebra, topology, and analysis, manifolds have also been applied to classical mechanics, general relativity, and quantum field theory. In this streamlined introduction to the subject, the theory of manifolds is presented with the aim of helping the reader achieve a rapid mastery of the essential topics. By the end of the book the reader should be able to compute, at least for simple spaces, one of the most basic topological invariants of a manifold, its de Rham cohomology. Along the way, the reader acquires the knowledge and skills necessary for further study of geometry and topology. The requisite point-set topology is included in an appendix of twenty pages; other appendices review facts from real analysis and linear algebra. Hints and solutions are provided to many of the exercises and problems. This work may be used as the text for a one-semester graduate or advanced undergraduate course, as well as by students engaged in self-study. Requiring only minimal undergraduate prerequisites, 'Introduction to Manifolds' is also an excellent foundation for Springer's GTM 82, 'Differential Forms in Algebraic Topology'.
World-renowned bestselling author Carlos Castaneda's Selection of his wrtings on the shamans of ancient Mexico.
Originally drawn to Yaqui Indian spiritual leader don Juan Matus for his knowledge of mind-altering plants, bestselling author Carlos Castaneda soon immersed himself in the sorcerer's magical world entirely. Ten years after his first encounter with the shaman, Castaneda examines his field notes and comes to understand what don Juan knew all along—that these plants are merely a means to understanding the alternative realities that one cannot fully embrace on one's own. In Journey to Ixtlan, Carlos Castaneda introduces readers to this new approach for the first time and explores, as he comes to experience it himself, his own final voyage into the teachings of don Juan, sharing with us what it is like to truly "stop the world" and perceive reality on his own terms.

The Wheel of Time: The Shamans of Ancient Mexico, Their Thoughts About Life, Death and the Universe
This text presents a graduate-level introduction to differential geometry for mathematics and physics students. The exposition follows the historical development of the concepts of connection and curvature with the goal of explaining the Chern–Weil theory of characteristic classes on a principal bundle. Along the way we encounter some of the high points in the history of differential geometry, for example, Gauss' Theorema Egregium and the Gauss–Bonnet theorem. Exercises throughout the book test the reader's understanding of the material and sometimes illustrate extensions of the theory. Initially, the prerequisites for the reader include a passing familiarity with manifolds. After the first chapter, it becomes necessary to understand and manipulate differential forms. A knowledge of de Rham cohomology is required for the last third of the text.
Prerequisite material is contained in author's text An Introduction to Manifolds, and can be learned in one semester. For the benefit of the reader and to establish common notations, Appendix A recalls the basics of manifold theory. Additionally, in an attempt to make the exposition more self-contained, sections on algebraic constructions such as the tensor product and the exterior power are included.
Differential geometry, as its name implies, is the study of geometry using differential calculus. It dates back to Newton and Leibniz in the seventeenth century, but it was not until the nineteenth century, with the work of Gauss on surfaces and Riemann on the curvature tensor, that differential geometry flourished and its modern foundation was laid. Over the past one hundred years, differential geometry has proven indispensable to an understanding of the physical world, in Einstein's general theory of relativity, in the theory of gravitation, in gauge theory, and now in string theory. Differential geometry is also useful in topology, several complex variables, algebraic geometry, complex manifolds, and dynamical systems, among other fields. The field has even found applications to group theory as in Gromov's work and to probability theory as in Diaconis's work. It is not too far-fetched to argue that differential geometry should be in every mathematician's arsenal.
In this book we study sprays and Finsler metrics. Roughly speaking, a spray on a manifold consists of compatible systems of second-order ordinary differential equations. A Finsler metric on a manifold is a family of norms in tangent spaces, which vary smoothly with the base point. Every Finsler metric determines a spray by its systems of geodesic equations. Thus, Finsler spaces can be viewed as special spray spaces. On the other hand, every Finsler metric defines a distance function by the length of minimial curves. Thus Finsler spaces can be viewed as regular metric spaces. Riemannian spaces are special regular metric spaces. In 1854, B. Riemann introduced the Riemann curvature for Riemannian spaces in his ground-breaking Habilitationsvortrag. Thereafter the geometry of these special regular metric spaces is named after him. Riemann also mentioned general regular metric spaces, but he thought that there were nothing new in the general case. In fact, it is technically much more difficult to deal with general regular metric spaces. For more than half century, there had been no essential progress in this direction until P. Finsler did his pioneering work in 1918. Finsler studied the variational problems of curves and surfaces in general regular metric spaces. Some difficult problems were solved by him. Since then, such regular metric spaces are called Finsler spaces. Finsler, however, did not go any further to introduce curvatures for regular metric spaces. He switched his research direction to set theory shortly after his graduation.
Elementary Differential Geometry presents the main results in the differential geometry of curves and surfaces suitable for a first course on the subject. Prerequisites are kept to an absolute minimum – nothing beyond first courses in linear algebra and multivariable calculus – and the most direct and straightforward approach is used throughout.
New features of this revised and expanded second edition include:
a
Coverage of topics such as: parallel transport and its applications; map colouring; holonomy and Gaussian curvature.
Around 200 additional exercises, and a full solutions manual for instructors, available via
Beyond Einstein: Perspectives on Geometry, Gravitation, and Cosmology explores the rich interplay between mathematical and physical ideas by studying the interactions of major actors and the roles of important research communities over the course of the last century.
This book provides a working knowledge of those parts of exterior differential forms, differential geometry, algebraic and differential topology, Lie groups, vector bundles, and Chern forms that are helpful for a deeper understanding of both classical and modern physics and engineering. It is ideal for graduate and advanced undergraduate students of physics, engineering or mathematics as a course text or for self study.
A main addition introduced in this Third Edition is the inclusion of an Overview, which can be read before starting the text. This appears at the beginning of the text, before Chapter 1. Many of the geometric concepts developed in the text are previewed here and these are illustrated by their applications to a single extended problem in engineering, namely the study of the Cauchy stresses created by a small twist of an elastic cylindrical rod about its axis. | 677.169 | 1 |

🛈⏬Pythagoras' theorem is both the oldest and the most important non-trivial theorem in mathematics. This is the first part of the first lecture of a course on the History of Mathematics, by N J Wildberger, the discoverer of Rational Trigonometry. We will follow John Stillwell's text Mathematics and its History (Springer, 3rd ed). Generally the emphasis will be on mathematical ideas and results, but largely without proofs, with a main eye on the historical flow of ideas. A few historical tidbits will be thrown in too... In this first lecture (with two parts) we first give a very rough outline of world history from a mathematical point of view, position the work of the ancient Greeks as following from Egyptian and Babylonian influences, and introduce the most important theorem in all of mathematics: Pythagoras' theorem. Two interesting related issues are the irrationality of the 'square root of two' (the Greeks saw this as a segment, or perhaps more precisely as the proportion or ratio between two segments, not as a number), and Pythagorean triples, which go back to the Babylonians. These are closely related to the important rational parametrization of a circle, essentially discovered by Euclid and Diophantus. This is a valuable and under-appreciated insight which high school students ought to explicitly see. In fact young people learning mathematics should really see more of the history of the subject! The Greeks thought of mathematics differently than we do today, and all students can benefit from a closer appreciation of the difficulties which they saw, but which we today largely ignore.

🛈⏬Janna Levin joined us in Los Angeles to talk about her book, Black Hole Blues and Other Songs from Outer Space, and why the recent recording of a black hole collision is so extraordinary. Recorded April 2016. ABOUT THE BOOK: In Black Hole Blues and Other Songs from Outer Space, Janna Levin recounts the fascinating story of the obsessions, the aspirations, and the trials of the scientists who embarked on an arduous, fifty-year endeavor to capture these elusive waves. An experimental ambition that began as an amusing thought experiment, a mad idea, became the object of fixation for the original architects—Rai Weiss, Kip Thorne, and Ron Drever. Striving to make the ambition a reality, the original three gradually accumulated an international team of hundreds. As this book was written, two massive instruments of remarkably delicate sensitivity were brought to advanced capability. As the book draws to a close, five decades after the experimental ambition began, the team races to intercept a wisp of a sound with two colossal machines, hoping to succeed in time for the centenary of Einstein's most radical idea. Janna Levin's absorbing account of the surprises, disappointments, achievements, and risks in this unfolding story offers a portrait of modern science that is unlike anything we've seen before. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Janna Levin is a professor of physics and astronomy at Barnard College of Columbia University. She is also director of sciences at Pioneer Works, a center for arts and sciences in Brooklyn, and has contributed to an understanding of black holes, the cosmology of extra dimensions, and gravitational waves in the shape of spacetime. Her previous books include How the Universe Got Its Spots and a novel, A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines, which won the PEN/Bingham Prize.

🛈⏬Fields medal winner Cédric Villani takes us through the very special world of mathematical creation of John Nash, who founded several new chapters of game theory and geometric analysis in just a few revolutionary contributions that seemed to come from nowhere. Subscribe for regular science videos: On 23 May 2015, John Forbes Nash tragically died in a taxi accident, just after receiving the most prestigious award that a mathematician can dream of, the Abel Prize. This tragic episode was the last event in a life which was so full of amazing events that Nash became an icon of human genius, recipient of the Nobel Prize and hero of a Hollywood movie looking at his life marked by mental illness. But most of all, Nash was a prophet who founded several new chapters of game theory and geometric analysis in just a few revolutionary contributions that seemed to come from nowhere. Fields medal winner, Cédric Villani takes us through this very special world of mathematical creation. Cédric Villani is a French mathematician who works primarily on partial differential equations, Riemannian geometry and mathematical physics. He was awarded the prestigious Fields Medal in 2010 – an award often viewed as the highest honour a mathematician can receive. He is a member of the Science and Technology Advisory Council and DIrector of the Institut Henri Poincaré.

🛈⏬Quantum computing is an exciting new technology that promises to accelerate the solution of some problems beyond our wildest imagination. In this talk, I start from the ground up and explain what quantum computation is, and what it is not. This leads to a discussion of why now is the right time to be thinking about this new technology and some of the recent developments that have been made, laying the groundwork for the future of this computing model. I then argue that some of the first applications of this technology will be in the discovery of new materials and chemistry, and describe recent research efforts in this regard. These include implementations of new algorithms on real quantum devices.Mysteries of the Mathematical Universe
🛈⏬Mathematical mysteries have challenged humanity's most powerful thinkers and inspired passionate, lifelong obsessions in search of answers. From the strangeness of prime numbers and the nature of infinity, to the turbulent flow of fluids and the geometry of hyperspace, mathematics is our most potent tool for revealing immutable truths. The event was a vibrant tour to the boundaries of the mathematical universe, and explore the deep puzzles that have been solved, the masterminds who powered the breakthroughs, and the towering challenges that have shaken the confidence of some of today's most accomplished mathematicians—even as they enlist new ways to pursue mathematical truths.

🛈⏬Why is there a release of energy rather than just a deformation of spacetime when black holes collide? Does the Universe have a finite lifespan? Do gravitational waves take time to travel? Hiranya Peiris answers questions from the audience following her talk. Watch the full talk here: Modern fundamental physics contains ideas just as revolutionary as those of Copernicus or Newton; ideas that may radically change our understanding of the world; ideas such as extra dimensions of space, or the possible existence of other universes. Testing these concepts requires enormous energies, far higher than what is achievable by the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, and in fact, beyond any conceivable Earth-bound experiments. However, at the Big Bang, the Universe itself performed the ultimate experiment and left clues and evidence about what was behind the origin of the cosmos as we know it, and how it is evolving. And the biggest clue is the afterglow of the Big Bang itself. In the past decade we have been able to answer age-old questions accurately, such as how old the Universe is, what it contains, and its destiny. Along with these answers have also come many exciting new questions. Join Hiranya Peiris to unravel the detective story, explaining what we have uncovered, and how we know what we know. Hiranya Peiris is Professor of Astrophysics in the Astrophysics Group in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at University College London. She is also the Principal Investigator of the CosmicDawn project, funded by the European Research Council She is also a member of the Planck Collaboration and of the ongoing Dark Energy Survey, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope. Her work both delves into the Cosmic Microwave Background and contributes towards the next generation galaxy surveys that will yield deep insights into the evolution of the Universe.

form a geometric space itself. Victor studies moduli spaces of configurations of points.
Victor has been working with Connie Dolezal at Casa Grande Union High School. Connie's classes this year are Algebra 5/Trigonometry and A.P. Statistics.
Victor's goals for his classroom involvement include:
bringing mathematics to life by couching his instruction in real life applications and activities when
possible, including the use of end-of-the-year projects;
engaging students in "mathematical thinking";
developing students' problem solving abilities;
identifying the source of student difficulties with mathematics; and
learning how to communicate with a non-mathematical audience.
Victor has learned a great deal during his time in the classroom. For example, he has learned how
to identify a single concept about which a lesson revolves, and how to read an audience to determine
when to slow down, speed up, or even stop.
Students frequently don't have trouble understanding a new concept. It becomes difficult when they have to use or integrate previous concepts in problem solving. They struggle with the cumulative nature of mathematics. It seems to me that this is the result of teaching for tests, such as AIMS. It is also a result of mental blocks that come up with certain topics, such as fractions, that they have trouble with when first encountered and never understand.
Worksheets get more students
involved than the ordinary class discussions. It allows the teacher
to work individually with students to expose and correct individual
misconceptions. Several students who are ordinarily very quiet
start asking a lot more questions.
Students don't know how to read mathematics at all. Reading mathematics is a skill that students are never taught. It isn't like reading any other subject. This should be addressed more in K-12 classrooms.
Bringing mathematics to life in the classroom really requires integrating the mathematics with
applications. Most textbooks relegate applications to the end of a section, some problems at the end of a problem set which are often not assigned, or some section at the end of a chapter. Instead, students can work on an application and the new mathematics can be introduced when it is necessary to move forward. | 677.169 | 1 |

If you do take it further and study a STEM subject at university, you could earn up to £250,000 more than the average graduate, over the course of your career. You do the math for a more prosperous future. (But don't forget – you'll probably need A Level Maths to do this – see below).
Gateway to the future
Picking your A Level subjects is an exciting time. You get to focus in depth on courses that really interest you, while ditching the duller subjects forever! But while it's really tempting to throw all those old textbooks onto the fire and follow your dreams, it's important to make an informed decision about your A Level subjects – because they really do shape the course of your whole future. And without an A Level in Maths, some of those dreams might not even get off the ground.
Did you know? If you want to study a STEM subject at university, you'll usually need to have an A Level in Maths under your belt. Further Maths on top will put you at an advantage (and it'll improve your maths skills too).
If you're still not sure how your life will map out after A Levels, that's OK – many people aren't! But if you're wondering why you should choose to study A Level Maths, remember that it is a great way to keep your future open.
It's known as a 'facilitating subject' by universities, meaning that it paves the way for a plethora of degree courses. And if you love maths but don't want to abandon your love of English or Music or History, there's no need – you can study Mathematics at many universities as a joint honours degree with whatever else takes your fancy.
But maths is for nerds
What type of person studies A Level Maths? If you think it's confined to geeky types chained to their calculators, think again. Today, many of the most exciting new careers require a foundation in mathematics. Game design, app development, astronomy – some of the most stimulating job roles are filled with mathematics specialists, and you can bet that future developments in technology will open up occupations that haven't even been invented yet.
Take a look at some of the cool jobs you could end up with by studying A Level Maths. Some of them may surprise you.
Careers outside the lab
If you're worried that studying mathematics will leave you stuck in a windowless lab instead of out engaging in the real world, there's really no cause for concern. Yes, a Maths A Level will always be a gateway to desk-based jobs like accountancy and academia (both exciting fields in themselves), but there's so much more potential than that. In today's tech-focused and ever-changing world, maths will arm you with the basic skills you need to engage with IT, science, engineering and data analysis.
Transferable skills
Whatever your future plans, studying A Level Maths will stretch your mind and endow you with abilities that stay with you for life. Whether you're deciphering statistics or managing a budget, your mathematical background will help you to think logically, analyse data and express yourself clearly. These are fantastically valuable, transferrable skills which are highly prized by employers across every field, as well as giving you a boost on a personal level.
So if you're unsure what A Levels to take, in the end whether you're going into careers using maths or a job that's seemingly unrelated, you'll always appreciate choosing maths as part of your A Level career path. Why study A Level Maths? It's your life. Make it count. | 677.169 | 1 |

This is topic 26 in my AP Calculus curriculum. This PowerPoint guides students through how to analyze derivatives so that they can show how the shape of a graph is affected. Students use the first and second derivative tests to find extrema and the concavity test to find inflection points. You may either have students go through the PowerPoint on their own or you may do it as a whole class. It is best used with the corresponding notes that I have created for it. | 677.169 | 1 |

Read Zapper's Thread, Still Have QuestionsThanks for any help and/or suggestions! I really appreciate it.
Marliss Bombardier
i can't advise on much but skipping geometry is absolutely the worst decision you could have ever made.
and skipping algebra would be the second worst decision you could make.
Public school geometry is awful anyways...honestly I might as well have skipped it back in the day, all I learned can be summed up by that picture with two parallel lines intersected by a third.
Java is not a new language so Zapper's thread being from 2008 has nothing to do with that. I haven't actually seen any Java in the stuff I do, it's a lot of C++ with a little bit of python sometimes.
She will need calculus before you give her mathematical physics. And honestly, mathematical physics is sort of dull- I don't know why you'd make a high schooler sit through that when you don't need it really. It's mostly going through the physics in a more rigorous way, which doesn't mean much unless you've gone through physics in the first place. But Boas would be the go to book if you want to stick to it.
I should probably clarify--my daughter has already taken algebra I and II, has tutored other students in it, and will be coaching a middle school Science Olympiad team in math/algebra this year. My main concern with her on math is that she solves problems intuitively. Her gripe with algebra is having to learn the formula when she already knows the answer. Her big brother (who is also mathematically-gifted and just graduated magna cum laude with an engineering physics degree) insists that she must learn to do that now or she will have trouble later.
She will be taking calculus next year, so what would you suggest in place of the mathematical physics--advanced calculus?
She will be taking calculus next year, so what would you suggest in place of the mathematical physics--advanced calculus?
College students would take multivariable calculus or linear algebra after single-variable calculus. If she really enjoys single-variable calculus, she could also work through a first course in real analysis. It might appeal to her preference for deriving math rather than memorizing it. (I avoid using the term "advanced calculus" because it means multivariable calculus to some and real analysis to others.)Definitely C++. Java has some uses, and object orientated programming is a good thing to learn - but you can't do better than C++ á mon avis. MATLAB is another obvious choice - though you would have to pay for it there is a student version available for cheaper once you reach university. Otherwise, OCTAVE is available as an open-source (i.e. free) equivalent of MATLAB if you want to dabble. The difference is that octave is missing many 'functions' one might expect to already be available.
What is the difference/relationship between computational physics and numerical analysis?
Again, probably not a helpful distinction to make to a pre-undergraduate. Computational physics is broad term - physics using a computer. So, modelling etc - numerical analysis might come under this umbrella. Numerical work on it's own might be something like finding numerical solutions to systems that can't be solved algebraically.
i can't advise on much but skipping geometry is absolutely the worst decision you could have ever made.
and skipping algebra would be the second worst decision you could make.
Why exactly would you say this? Personally, I found a year of geometry in high school was mostly a waste of my time. And if you can handle the math that comes after "algebra" then you probably know how to do algebra well enough...Doesn't matter if colleges use Java. The important thing is to learn how to program, and C++ is a complex enough language that you'll be able to pick up Java easily if you know C++. (But it's not easy; when I first started learning C++ in high school I gave up, and then came back to it later and now I feel confident learning any language on my own)
i can't advise on much but skipping geometry is absolutely the worst decision you could have ever made.
You're not familiar with Saxon, I guess. Advanced Mathematics is meant to be covered in 1.5-2 years, and if one studies from their Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Advanced Mathematics books, they will have had the equivalent of a Geometry course. I don't know why the OP said that they 'skipped' it, because they actually didn't. (This is assuming that the OP used the older editions of Algebra 1 and Algebra 2, however.)I would instead have her take multivariable calculus during senior year. You can take any one of the 'standard' ginormous calculus books out there (Stewart, Larson, Thomas, Anton,...) and have her do roughly half the book next year and the rest senior year. (Multivariable calculus is covered in these textbooks.) If she happens to finish the calculus book early, she could then go on to linear algebra and/or differential equations.
I have planned for her to do calculus next year, and math physics her senior year. Is this a good plan?
As some people have said before, taking multivariable calculus might be useful. It'll also help keep calculus fresh in her mind before college. She more than likely would still have to take in college though, so it wouldn't really push her ahead. It will keep her busy though, and she'd be learning useful things and be able to take multivariable in college with no problem.
We could dispense with biology this year if you have a better suggestion.
One thing that I love to emphasize is diversity of knowledge. It seems like you're taking a very directed approach with your daughter. Although she herself might not really want to take it, it could be because of the seeming "uselessness" of taking biology if she's going to become a physicist. But something that I always bring up is that a lot of the time, people don't really know what physics really is. There's a lot of sensationalism when it comes to the sciences and it's probably the worst with physics. I think that you should at least attempt to expose her to different things, just so she doesn't get narrow minded and forced into a field she doesn't end up liking. Now I realize that your physics PhD friend probably has explained things to you guys, but going by your daughters interest in astrophysics, specifically, I would venture to say that she still has at least a slightly skewed perception of what it is. And please, feel free to correct me on this. I'm sure it's possible for a 15 year old person to fully understand their prospective career choice in physics. I just don't see any real harm in taking some different classes. There is no real opportunity cost of taking them because there really isn't too much to gain from "getting ahead" beyond taking advanced math courses and things like that, which it seems you already plan on her taking.
My daughter wants to CLEP out of college algebra because she finds algebra boring and doesn't want to waste time on it but to move to more exciting math.
There isn't really any need to clep out of college algebra, because with a physics degree she won't need to even take that class. Unless it's required for her to get a diploma, in which case I would say it's not really necessary to take college algebra. If she's as strong in math as you say she is, she won't need it. College algebra, like a lot of early math classes teaches you a few processes to do math, but if your daughter can intuitively figure things out, she'll be able to figure out problems on her own. Now one thing I might want to mention though, is that being exposed to ways of doing math that you don't think of intuitively, while seemingly pointless, can actually help a lot. A lot of the time, different approaches can make math a lot simpler. Also, standardized tests often cater to certain ways of doing a problem, and if your daughter hasn't been exposed to those before, it could make things difficult. So there are pros and cons to taking it, with the main cons being her being bored and using up a space. If your daughter is confident enough in her abilities, you should let her not take the class and just test out of it.
This is excellent advice, thank you. Although she has always enjoyed astronomy, I didn't hear about astrophysics as a career choice from my daughter until after she and her partner came in 6th in the nation at the middle school Science Olympiad national tournament in 2009, in an event about the physics of waves. I agree that she may not really understand what is entailed in astrophysics, so part of my motivation in being so directed in her science and math is to make sure that's what she really wants to do.
We will do biology this year because diversity of knowledge is a good thing, and so is disciplining oneself to do something one doesn't really want to do, and to do it with a good attitude. And of course, science and math is not all we are doing. :) | 677.169 | 1 |

The calculus of variations is a beautiful subject with a rich history and with origins in the minimization problems of calculus. Although it is now at the core of many modern mathematical fields, it does not have a well-defined place in most undergraduate mathematics curricula. This volume should nevertheless give the undergraduate reader a sense of its great character and importance. Interesting functionals, such as area or energy, often give rise to problems whose most natural solution occurs by differentiating a one-parameter family of variations of some function. The critical points of the functional are related to the solutions of the associated Euler-Lagrange equation. These differential equations are at the heart of the calculus of variations and its applications to other subjects. Some of the topics addressed in this book are Morse theory, wave mechanics, minimal surfaces, soap bubbles, and modeling traffic flow. All are readily accessible to advanced undergraduates. This book is derived from a workshop sponsored by Rice University. It is suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students and research mathematicians interested in the calculus of variations and its applications to other subjects.

Tips from the Math Department
Greetings from the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science! I am writing this short article to offer some academic tips and resources. I hope that some of them will be useful to you!
First, and arguably most importantly, find a way to be organized and disciplined that works for you.
Create "appointments" for studying similar to a class schedule. Try an app like Google Calendar, Microsoft OneNote, Evernote, etc. Set up reminders for deadlines!
Use a bullet journal to set goals and execute long-term plans. Who doesn't love a cool notebook, anyway?
Try a spaced practice study regimen. Start studying a new topic at regular and close intervals (for example, every day between 4:00-5:00pm). As you begin to feel comfortable with that material, increase the time between your study intervals. This will show you where your weaknesses lie: You'll probably forget some stuff over 2 to 3 days, and things you have forgotten about or that still seem difficult are what you should focus on.
We want to help you learn mathematics deeply, so that you can enjoy it and make use of it! We can't do that unless you've got the basic skills. Take stock, honestly, of any gaps in your mathematical abilities. Your instructor can also help you find materials for reviewing or catching up, or you can also
Mastering lower-division mathematics is often tantamount to mastering various techniques. To really learn a technique you'll need lots of experience applying it. That is, you'll need lots of exercises to work out!
Dip into other textbooks, or reputable online resources. When the exercises all start to look the same, you'll know that you are ready to move on.
A big part of learning mathematics is feeling "stuck," whether it's on a specific problem or understanding a new concept in the first place. Learn to accept this. Desensitize yourself to the frustration and cultivate tenacity just as you would in mastering a musical or athletic skill. If you really can't get out of your mathematical bind, then talk to us! Seeking help shows engagement, not weakness.
Never feel reluctant to ask for help.
Pay attention to the marked papers your instructor hands back, even if it's painful to read your corrected work! Bear in mind that mistakes are opportunities, not liabilities. The Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto is famously quoted as saying "Give me the fruitful error any time, full of seeds, bursting with its own corrections. You can keep your sterile truth for yourself."
Make a record of mistakes you've made, and how you resolved them. Keep it handy when you're studying or working out problems.
This might be an obvious thing to write, but I am going to suggest it anyway: Take care of yourself! Exercise, eat well (or, at least, as well as you can), and get enough sleep. Try using the Nap Wheel, designed by Professor Mednick at U.C. Riverside, to do some memory-enhancing, reenergizing napping. And finally, interact with your instructors. At some point during their academic careers, each of your professors made a choice of where to teach. All of us chose to work at The Mount! We are here because we want to be a positive force in your life, and because we want to share our knowledge and experiences. On the other hand, we want to hear about things you've read or heard that captured your interest, even if they don't seem directly relevant to our course. | 677.169 | 1 |
Appointments: I am
generally available from 9:00-5:00 M-F. Communication with me by email is very
reliable. If my office light is on and I'm not there, check in the Dana
basement (Room B36) or in the Physics Office.
Course Objectives:
This course is designed to introduce a broad range of mathematical techniques that are used to
solve scientific problems. We will not attempt to achieve the depth of
individual math courses on each subject and we will not be as detailed in our
proofs. Our purpose is to give you some experience with a variety of important
mathematical techniques so that they will be not unknown when you see them
again. Building problem solving skills take lots of practice. To this end, you
will be assigned a substantial amount of homework. We will emphasize how the
techniques can be used to solve various problems in the sciences. I will assume
that you have had two semesters of calculus, but I will survey the mathematical
and scientific background of each class member to set an appropriate level and
pace for the course. We will focus on the following topics:
Infinite & Power series
Chapter 1
Complex analysis
Chapter 2
Linear algebra
Chapter 3
Vector calculus
Chapter 6
Fourier analysis
Chapter 7
Differential equations
Chapter 8
As you know, programs like
MathCad and Mathematica can simplify traditional mathematical operations
like series expansion, integration, and matrix analysis. These
applications can use numerical methods to solve problems that do not
have an analytical solution. The programs (and spreadsheet applications
like Excel) include graphical tools that can be used to calculate and
plot functions of interest so that we can visualize the behavior of our
solutions. We will demonstrate and use some of these features in this
course and, at times, you may use these programs to solve or check homework
problems whenever you think they might help. Be sure to clearly document
your usage of these programs. Please be aware that you cannot use these
programs on reviews.
Course Requirements:
Attendance: It is one of the primary responsibilities of
the student to attend each and every class. Each student is responsible for the
material discussed in class and the announcements made in class. Absence from
class does not relieve one from this responsibility. Attendance at class follows
the College's 25% rule. Please mark the roll on the side board each day you are
in class.
Seminars
broaden your scientific perspective and show you how physics is being used
in the world beyond Davidson. Attendance at all physics seminars is
strongly encouraged.
Homework: Problems for the chapters
may be found on the Assignments
website. Always check the website for the current assignment as slight changes
in the required work may be made during the semester.
Discussion among class members regarding homework problem strategies
and solutions is strongly encouraged; however, copying another student's work
from this class or any previous class or solution set is an honor code violation. The word Pledged
along with your signature and the date written on your homework signifies your
compliance with this requirement. Homework will be collected for grading at
times announced in class. Homework will not be
accepted late or unpledged. Unsupported answers will not
receive full credit. Simplicity, neatness and clarity of thought are important. If you need help, please see me.
Reviews: The three closed-book, take-home reviews will be
comprised of problems similar to but not the same as those worked in the lecture
and assigned for homework.
Reviews will be due on Feb. 7, March 20, and May 1.
Final Exam: The final exam will be a self-scheduled,
open-book,
comprehensive exam. Questions concerning material covered between the last
review and the last day of class will be on the final exam. | 677.169 | 1 |

Excellent Book
Posted by Unknown on 02/23/2015
My son's math skills have improved this year by leaps and bounds. He was using the MCP Math book and doing very poorly. We switched to this book for 5th grade and this year it has built his confidence in himself to a level that he enjoys doing the math lessons. This book has made a world of difference for him. It is easy to understand and the directions are written out very plan and simple. Saxon Math is awesome!
Saxon is awesome
Posted by Karen B. - Math, Science and History teacher on 04/28/2013
Saxon has been a leader in helping kids learn math for several years. This book is very easy to understand and written in plain English so that you can understand what is being taught. Practice problems are given along with reinforcement from previous lessons. Kids love it. If they need more practice there are additional practice problems in the back of the book .
Excellent book for home/independent study that needs little instruction
Posted by Unknown on 09/01/2012
As a teacher of math, Saxon books far exceed most others designed for private/homeschool environments. Books are designed so that that the student can pick up the book, read the lesson, follow the examples and work their own assignment with little need for further instructions. The book is also excellent for using the language of math, I.e. vocabulary. Not many books use vocabulary to make students think and this is what is found on testing. Ex. Using the number 5 and factor three times to solve, or write a number sentence using two addends that have a sum of 9. | 677.169 | 1 |
Eigenvalue problems, vector valued functions, and taking derivatives/integrals. That's pretty much all differential equations is based on. Most of the techniques you'd actually use in the class will be new to you.Well, I guess it depends on your school. We used eigenvalues extensively in my intro diff eqs class, to linearize nonlinear systems.
I'm pretty much at the same point having taken Calculus I-III and Linear Algebra, but I'm taking Diff-EQ now. Our teacher went over a list of techniques that we should review the first day of class. One that caught my eye was partial fractions - something we spent 1/2 a lecture on in Calculus II that I had to review. It's really just algebraic manipulation, but funny how many people said they had to review the process the following class. | 677.169 | 1 |
Generally, the homework problems will come from the textbook,
although I might choose to write some problems myself.
You don't have to turn in the homework, but you should try it!
If you find some problems easy, then you can skip to the next batch,
but you'll need to practise the material
if you want to remember it
for quizzes or exams,
a subsequent course, or the rest of your life.
Also, the quizzes will be heavily based on the assigned homework,
and you can use your completed homework while taking the quizzes!
As you do your homework,
I encourage you to talk with your fellow students.
This is not cheating!
Only the quizzes and exams have to be your own work.
In case you miss the homework, you can find it here.

Hi All, I am in need of aid on graphing circles, reducing fractions, point-slope and adding numerators. Since I am a novice to Algebra 1, I really want to learn the fundamentals of Intermediate algebra completely. Can anyone suggest the best place from where I can begin reading the basics? I have an exam next week.
Believe me, it's sometimes quite difficult to learn a topic alone because of its complexity just like all the answers for an algebra 2 book . It's sometimes better to request someone to teach you the details rather than understanding the topic on your own. In that way, you can understand it very well because the topic can be explained systematically. Luckily, I discovered this new software that could help in understanding problems in algebra. It's a not costly quick hassle-free way of understanding math lessons. Try making use of Algebra Helper and I guarantee you that you'll have no trouble answering math problems anymore. It displays all the pertinent solutions for a problem. You'll have a good time learning algebra because it's user-friendly. Give it a try.
I have tried out several software. I would boldly say that Algebra Helper has helped me to come to grips with my difficulties on relations, matrices and least common measure. All I did was to just key in the problem. The answer showed up almost right away showing all the steps to the answer. It was quite easy to follow. I have relied on this for my algebra classes to figure out Pre Algebra and Algebra 2. I would highly suggest you to try out Algebra Helper .
Thanks a million for the detailed information. We will surely try this out. Hope we get our problems finished with the aid of Algebra Helper . If we have any technical questions with respect to its usage, we would definitely come back to you again.
I remember having often faced problems with syntehtic division, graphing function and leading coefficient. A truly great piece of math program is Algebra Helper software. By simply typing in a problem homework a step by step solution would appear by a click on Solve. I have used it through many algebra classes – Pre Algebra, Algebra 2 | 677.169 | 1 |
This introduction to the ideas and methods of linear functional analysis shows how familiar and useful concepts from finite-dimensional linear algebra can be extended or generalized to infinite-dimensional spaces. Aimed at advanced undergraduates in mathematics and physics, the book assumes a standard background of linear algebra, real analysis (including the theory of metric spaces), and Lebesgue integration, although an introductory chapter summarizes the requisite material.
The initial chapters develop the theory of infinite-dimensional normed spaces, in particular Hilbert spaces, after which the emphasis shifts to studying operators between such spaces. Functional analysis has applications to a vast range of areas of mathematics; the final chapters discuss the particularly important areas of integral and differential equations.
Further highlights of the second edition include:
a new chapter on the Hahn–Banach theorem and its applications to the theory of duality. This chapter also introduces the basic properties of projection operators on Banach spaces, and weak convergence of sequences in Banach spaces - topics that have applications to both linear and nonlinear functional analysis;
extended coverage of the uniform boundedness theorem;
plenty of exercises, with solutions provided at the back of the book.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Review:
"The authors write with a strong narrative thrust and a sensitive appreciation of the needs of the average student so that, by the final chapter, there is a real feeling of having "gotten somewhere worth getting" by a sensibly paced, clearly signposted route." Mathematical Gazette, 2000
"It is a fine book, with material well-organized and well-presented. A particularly useful feature is the material on compact operators and applications to differential equations." CHOICE magazine
"The presentation is quite elementary, and there are sufficiently many illuminating examples and exercises... this nice textbook perfectly fits the readership, i.e., undergraduate students in mathematics and physics... It may be recommended to all students who want to get in touch with the basic ideas of functional analysis and operator theory for the first time." Zentralblatt MATH | 677.169 | 1 |

I must say I thought this would be a stuffy university text book but it is probably the best introduction to scientific mathematics you can buy. It includes clear explanations of relevant subjects written in a style that is easy to follow. It does include the usual "it is obvious that" expressions when it may not be THAT obvious. All in all it is an excellent read that should be suitable for anyone, student or layman.
This is a book I would recommend for any undergraduate who wants to study mathematics, physical sciences or engineering. Each topic is very well and thoroughly explained. My single reservation is that it only provides odd numbered solutions. I think students who are not confident would prefer to have all the solutions so that they can check their work.
This is a great book for undergrad students. It may serve well later on as a review. Well written, full of useful examples, the structure is clear and easy to navigate, and I find this book less bulky than I expected. No markings inside despite it being already used, everything as described. Highly recommendable! | 677.169 | 1 |

Welcome to MATH 103
This is a classic Face-to-Face class and we meet entirely in person. There will be no online discussions and if you have a question you can ask in class or email me at
I will post handouts and hyperlinks to videos for the class on this web page which is accessible through the URL
Please bookmark (favorites) this URL in your browser so that you can easily return to it as the course progresses.
So lets get started…
This is a fast paced mathematics course in an 8 week session.
I recommend you allocate approximately 20 hours per week to this course:
Lecture = 6 hours per week
Optional help session for one hour after each class = 2 hours per week
Reading study, video watching, and homework = 12 hours per week or more if you are mathematically challenged
If you have a day job, I recommend that you enroll only in this course this session, because there will be a lot of homework. Unfortunately, UMUC is not enforcing the prerequisite for this course which is MATH012 and unprepared students may feel uncomfortable in this course. I give you this warning notification so you can properly allocate time for the course. The course has a common final exam for all UMUC sections worldwide. Therefore, I must remain on schedule to cover all topics.
Before the first class, I recommend that you print the latest updated version of the syllabus that can be found in the LEO classroom or here. Also print all Week 1 materials which are posted as PDF files below.
UMUC has moved to free online resources to support all courses and Will Tenney a UMUC faculty member has written a 433 page eBook titled Math for Today's World. The eBook is a work in progress and the latest version is available for free download in the LEO Course Resources. The eBook contains examples and exercises for each section that we will use for the course. Answers to all odd numbered exercises are in the appendix at the end of the book. You are required to do the specified exercises at the end of each section, which will be odd numbered problems so you can check your answers.
Please acquire the following items before the first class:
Spiral notebook or ring binder for doing all homework
Several pencils or better a 0.7mm mechanical pencil with soft HB graphite
I recommend that you get started with Week 1 content today, by clicking Week 1 in the navigation bar above or scrolling down.

Week 1: Number Theory and the Real Number System
This week we will be covering Number Theory and the Real Number System which is covered in Math103 eBook Chapter 1. The most important item to remember this week is the order of operation, which is described the acronym P E MD AS.
It is very important to do all assigned exercises in your homework notebook. Use enough paper to show the complete step-by-step process for each exercise. Chapter 1 is very important so that you have a firm foundation to build upon for the rest of the course. For the first week I have created a Chapter 1 Exercise Solutions handout, which provides more detail then the answer key in the appendix. The focus for the first four weeks of the course is Algebra and links to informative YouTube videos for the Algebra content are displayed below for each of these four weeks.
Please download and print the following before class this week:
Print eBook Chapter 1 if desired. You need to view Chapter 1 content in class so you could view on paper, a notebook computer, iPad, or Kindle tablet device in class.
Test 1 is scheduled for next week first class and will cover content from or eBook Chapters 1, 2, and 3. Test 1 is closed book, but you are permitted to bring in one half page of single sided handwritten notes that is 8.5 inches x 5.5 inches. I suggest you simply take a standard letter size paper and fold it in half. You can add to these notes in Test 2 and 3. You need to bring pencil, eraser, and calculator to Test 1.

You may download and view Sample Test 1 available as a PDF file with answers attached.
After Test 1, we will continue with eBook Chapter 4 covering the important topic of Quadratic Equations to include polynomial operations, factoring, and the Quadratic Formula.
A quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of the second degree, having the general form:
The letters a, b and c are called coefficients: a is the coefficient of x2, b is the coefficient of x, and c is the constant coefficient. A quadratic equation has two solutions (i.e., solutions for the unknown term x). In some cases, these solutions can have the same value. The values of the solutions can be computed using the quadratic formula as shown below:
For example, the solutions of the quadratic equation
can be determined by first substituting 2 for a, -14 for b, and 20 for c in the quadratic forumula
and then solving the expression, which gives the solutions of the equation as x = 5 and x = 2.
As the week progresses we will cover eBook Chapter 5.1 covering Cartesian coordinate graphing and functions. You will plot points, lines, and functions on graph paper.
Please download and print the following before class this week:

Gauss's law is a fixture in introductory physics classes in part because the reasoning skills and fundamental physics knowledge required for its application represent important course goals. We have found that students struggle to apply Gauss's law to conceptual questions as well as typical end-of-chapter problems, even after coverage in lecture and the relevant sections of Tutorials in Introductory Physics(1). To address persistent difficulties we are modifying tutorial curriculum to reduce the number of examples and emphasize the development of a conceptual framework around flux and Gauss's law. The goal is to improve student performance on both conceptual questions and typical calculation questions. A summary of the student difficulties uncovered, details of modifications to the established curriculum, and preliminary results will be presented.

Course Description: Math 6110 is intended for all graduate students in
mathematics. This course will be an
introduction to analytic number theory and some background in complex analysis
is required. We will discuss arithmetic functions, Dirichlet
series, the Gamma function, the Riemann zeta function, characters, and
L-functions. A highlight of this course will be the proof of Dirichlet's Prime Number Theorem,
which is a generalization of both the Prime Number Theorem and Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions.

Liberal Arts mathematics books often cover much more material than can be addressed in a one-semester course. Karl Smith has created a solution to this problem with his new book: THE NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVING IN GEOMETRY AND PROBABILITY. Loyal customers of Karl Smith's books laud his clear writing, coverage of historical topics, selection of topics, and emphasis on problem solving. Based on the successful NATURE OF MATHEMATICS text, this new book is designed to give you only the chapters and information you need, when you need it. Smith takes great care to provide insight into precisely what mathematics is--the nature of mathematics--what it can accomplish, and how it is pursued as a human enterprise. At the same time, Smith emphasizes Polya's problem-solving method throughout the text so students can take from the course an ability to estimate, calculate, and solve problems outside the classroom. Moreover, Smith's writing style gives students the confidence and ability to function mathematically in their everyday lives. This new text emphasizes problem solving and estimation, which, along with numerous in-text study aids, encourage students to understand the concepts as well as mastering techniques.

About the Author:
Karl Smith is professor emeritus at Santa Rosa Junior College in Santa Rosa, California. He has written over 36 mathematics textbooks and believes that students can learn mathematics if it is presented to them through the use of concrete examples designed to develop original thinking, abstraction, and problem-solving skills. Over one million students have learned mathematics from Karl Smith's textbooks.
Review:
"It's the best book out there. We tried another book last semester just to be different and that was a disaster. So we'll...keep with NATURE OF MATHEMATICS."
"I have found more than enough material in each exercise set that keeps my students' interest. In light of the fact that most...of my students are not interested in math or science, I have welcomed the sight of the many problems that are conceptual rather than computational in nature."
"One of the strengths of this text is the Presentation of topics that are not always computational in nature. This involves letting students see topics that they do not typically view as being mathematical and explore concepts in ways other than by just pushing buttons on a calculator."
"Even though I do not teach geometry or metrics from your text, I wish I could. Your units on these topics are excellent, better than those in most other texts I've seen or used."
"I love the color, the pictures, the cartoons, the attempt to make the pages come alive. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, at least not by me." | 677.169 | 1 |

Scientific Calculator
Description
The power of math at your fingertips.
The aim of Totals is to help you carry out any kind of math calculation in the fastest and cleanest way possibile, whether you need to compute something very simple, or advanced tasks that usually go under the name of "rocket science"; its main strength is flexibility: it helps you when you need a hand, while at the same time leaving you your space when you know exactly what to do, and just need power.
How does it achieve all this? It consists of 4 tools, integrated one into each other and beautifully combining their effort to give you control on whatever task you need to perform:
# Calculator: this is the core of Totals. # Units Converter*: to convert the result using more than 300 units. # Math Reference*: to help you when you need to remember a formula, and speed up the process of using them. # Mathpad: to keep track of all the things in your life related to numbers; the average score of your college exams, the amount of money someone owns you and other countless possibilities.
#Unit Converted and Math Reference features only available through In-App Purchase
Inside the calculator, you will have at your disposal multiple styles, for all your demands: just swipe with your finger to switch from one to another, it's that easy! # If you just need to add numbers and perform classic operations with them, the Simple style is what you want to use. # Are you instead in the middle of a calculation that requires more advanced features? Just swipe your finger to access the Scientific style: you will have trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic and many, many more functions at your disposal. # If you feel a little more geeky (or brave), you can even swipe your finger once again to access the Programmer style, which will give you the ability to deal with hex and binary numbers, the operations between them and their conversion. | 677.169 | 1 |
Math 113: Laboratory Manual
The following problems will be assigned out of the laboratory manual. They will be collected
and a grade taken on them. Do not expect your numerical values to be the same as someone else
in the class. You will each get different answers. You may, however, work together in groups
on the lab exercises, but each person needs to turn in a complete set of exercises (that is, one
copy per person, not one copy per group). The due date for lab exercise is the review day before
the exam. Concepts from the lab exercises may be contained on the test. The actual recording of
the grade will take place during the exam over that chapter. The grade is based having the work
done, not on having the work done correctly. | 677.169 | 1 |

I was pleasantly surprised that the book also provides a summary of a number of the concepts that students may need prior to tackling the problems; for example, the section on Analytic Geometry provides a quick summary on the equations of lines, parabolas and circles, distance and slope between two points.
Some students concentrated on analytic geometry and algebra II in Grade 12 (roughly 10% in probability on each), but prior mathematics achievement was not a significant consideration among these students when they took these courses.
Khayyam was the first mathematician we know of to formulate a thoroughgoing geometrical approach to algebraic equations, and, as Rashed shows thoroughly in his introduction, ought to be considered the precursor of Descartes in the invention of analytic geometry.
Mahoney details the evolution and significance of the enormous mathematical strides taken by Fermat: analytic geometry, theory of equations, methods of finding maxima and minima and tangents of lines, the quadrature and rectification of curves.
They are arranged in sections on symbols and special numbers, elementary algebra, linear algebra, analytic geometry and trigonometry, calculus, statistics and probability, and financial mathematics, The book can serve students, instructors, and professionals as a supplement to a textbook, a source for review, and a reference.

From the reviews: "… Many parts of the book can be read by anyone with a basic abstract algebra course… it was one of the author's intentions to equip students who are interested in computational problems with the necessary algebraic background in pure mathematics
Ergodic theory is hard to study because it is based on measure theory, which is a technically difficult subject to master for ordinary students, especially for physics majors.

Mathematics and the Laws of Nature: Developing the Language of Science
Mathematics and the Laws of Nature: Developing the Language of Science
The History of Mathematics is a fascinating survey of the development of math through discovery, innovation, collaboration, and experimentation. The set presents a compelling overview of myriad aspects of mathematics using understandable language and appealing line illustrations and photographs. Mathematics and the Laws of Nature is an insightful examination of the pioneering ideas, works, and applications that have made mathematics the language of science. Author John Tabak looks at the many ways in which so-called pure math has been used in the applied sciences. For example, he explores how mathematical theories contributed to the development of Kepler's laws of planetary motion as well as to combustion modeling and hydrodynamics. The book gives students insight into the ways that math is used to explain the world around them, offering many examples that show how nature can be descibed mathematically and how the physical sciences and math connect. Mathematics and the Laws of Nature includes an index, a chronology of notable events, a glossary of terms, a helpful list of Internet resources, and an array of historical and current print sources for further research. Keyed to current principles and standards in teaching math, The History of Mathematics set is essential for young readers who require information on relevant topics in mathematics | 677.169 | 1 |

Review: Math Essentials: No-Nonsense Algebra/Geometry
Math Essentials:
Math Essentials was developed by Rick Fisher, math instructor in San Jose, California school district while teaching 5/6th graders. Each year about 1/2 of his math students were able to skip 7th grade math and move onto 8 grade high powered Algebra Programs.
After seeing these results Rick designed these books for elementary, middle school, and even high school students. Many students made several grade level improvements after using this program! This is an easy to follow, step by step program, requiring only 20 minutes of work a day!
Math Essentials America's Math Teacher DVD Series:
Series of math programs that offers online video or DVD lessons, children watch a short 10 minute video for each lesson, teaching them each of the lessons and then walking them through practice problems and encouraging the kids to follow along.
Math is just a subject that Serena does not look forward to, or like at all! Trying to get her to understand it and not spend hours doing a lesson is almost impossible!! I was dreading getting into High School math classes with her, since math is not a favorite subject of mine either. That is until we were blessed to review a copy of No Nonsence Algebra. Serena has been using the program for 4 weeks now and she comes up to me frequently and says "I'm so glad we decided to use this Algebra program, I love it" those are words I would have NEVER expected to come out of her mouth!!
In simple terms No-Nonsense Algebra is exactally what the title says, just Algebra and no nonsecnce in between. Students simply log onto the No Nonsence website and watch the video that goes along with the lesson, the video is only about 10 minutes long, which is just enough time to go over the daily lesson, practice problems (where they strongly encourage the kids to follow along with), 1 daily word problem, and also a review of previously learned skills! After they have completed the video they are to work on their short 1 page worksheet, which to be honest is one of Serena's favorite parts, not having to do pages of work problems has sold her! It is taking her at the most 30 minutes to complete a lesson, for High School Algebra, I'm amazed!! This will be a company I continue to purchase math curriculum from in the future, not only is the curriculum amazing, but the price is great to!
Math Skills Book Series:
This part of the Math Essentials program is not a complete curriculum, and is shorter course, which extensively focuses on 1 main math concept using real life examples to teach the following concepts:
We were also blessed with a copy of Mastering Essential Math Skills: Geometry, a work book that Dustin has been using to start out his year. Dustin struggles with ADHD, and many of the math curriculums we have tried for him have been great, but the amount of time spent on learning the lesson and then completing the workpage was enough for him to lose interest fast! Finding a math curriculum that would work for him has been very difficult!
Master Essential Math Skills Geometry is a great program that only takes 20 minutes a day, enough time for him to be able to understand the concept being taught, do the workpage and even get in a little review! This part of the program does not come with online videos or DVD's that teach the lessons, but the lessons were simple enough to where we could discuss the "helpful hints" at the top of the page and he has been picking up the skills quite well with that any only minimal help from me. When he is finished with this program I expect that he will be quite efficient with his Geometry skills!
I will continue to use this program with Dustin in the future and would especially recommend this program to any child who can easily lose interest in other math programs due to short attention span, or just generally needs a push to enjoy or understand math.
The only downside with the Math Essentials Program from what I have experienced is there is not colorful pictures and other things that my dyslexic kiddo can have a reference in his brain. Most other kids would have no problems with this what so ever!! Also the answers are located in the back of the book, I just cut the answers out of the back of the book before they started!
What's The Cost Of The Program?
Mastering Essential Math Skills: No-Nonsense Algebra:
$27.95 The price includes the math book and acess to the online video library that go with the lessons, so there is nothing else that needs to be purchased!
Mastering Essential Math Skills: Geometry:
$11.95 The price includes a 90 page work book.

Thus, the transformation of P between the first system (x, y) and the second system (x′, y′) is given by the equations x = x′ + h and y = y′ + k. The common use of translations of axes is to simplify the equations of curves. For example, the equation 2x2 + y2 − 12x −2y + 17 = 0 can be simplified with the translations x′ = x − 3 and y′ = y − 1 to an equation involving only squares of the variables and a constant term: (x′)2 + (y′)2/2 = 1 Basic Trigonometry (Trigonometry Revision Book 1).

MATHS 2100 - Real Analysis II
Much of mathematics relies on our ability to be able to solve equations, if not in explicit exact forms, then at least in being able to establish the existence of solutions. To do this requires a knowledge of so-called "analysis", which in many respects is just Calculus in very general settings. The foundations for this work are commenced in Real Analysis, a course that develops this basic material in a systematic and rigorous manner in the context of real-valued functions of a real variable. Topics covered are: Basic set theory. The real numbers and their basic properties. Sequences: convergence, subsequences, Cauchy sequences. Open, closed, and compact sets of real numbers. Continuous functions and uniform continuity. The Riemann integral. Differentiation and Mean Value theorems. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Series. Power series and Taylor series. Convergence of sequences and series of functions. | 677.169 | 1 |

Mathematics Summer School
Guided only by their feelings for symmetry and simplicity, creative mathematicians are inspired by the art of mathematics rather than by any prospect of its ultimate usefulness. And yet, we live in a world in which mathematical ideas find application in almost every branch of human knowledge. Since ancient times, the puzzles, problems and challenges that arise from mathematical thought have shaped the way in which we interpret both the physical and the spiritual. In a rapidly changing technological world, mathematics remains as critical as ever to our scientific, philosophical and mechanical endeavours.
The Mathematics Summer School is an opportunity for A-level students to spend five days exploring some of the most exciting and challenging ideas in contemporary mathematics. As a general structure, students will develop a theoretical understanding of a particular branch of mathematics in the morning session, before exploring the practical applications of these ideas in the afternoon. Topics will include:
Classes are small, typically containing twelve to fifteen students, all of whom should have a passion for mathematics, a curiosity to build on their existing knowledge and be keen to embrace and exchange new ideas. An expert Tutor will lead each session in a seminar format, but learning will be largely student-led wherever practical. Classes will focus on discussion and on problem questions and exercises, creating a comfortable environment for students to share ideas amongst their peers and to progress from their existing knowledge toward more challenging material.

2 Chapter 1 Introduction: Basic Graph Theory This course serves to answer many questions arise in ordinary life and science in general. Just to mention but a few, it is used to select the best chemical in chemistry, designing networks, minimize cost, manage corruption and solve data communication problems. Definition A graph G = (V, E) consists of a finite non-empty set V (G) of elements called vertices and a (possibly empty) set E(G) of elements called edges. V (G) is called the vertex set of G and E(G) is called an edge set of G. NB A graph is not drawn uniquely, what matters is that the same vertices are joined together by the same edges. Definition If two vertices of a graph are joined by two or more edges, then this graph has multiple edges. An edge joining a vertex to itself is called a loop. Definition A graph with one vertex is called a trivial graph, otherwise the graph is nontrivial. Definition A simple graph is a graph that has no loops or multiple edges. Definition Two vertices of the same edge are said to be incident with the edge and two edges sharing a common vertex are said to be incident with the vertex. Two vertices incident with an edge are said to be adjacent Adjacent and Incident matrices of a graph Definition Let G = (V, E) be a graph such that V (G) = {v 1, v 2, v 3,..., v n } and E(G) = {e 1, e 2, e 3,..., e m }. We define the adjacent matrix, say A, of G to be the n n matrix where the ij th entry is the number of edges joining v i to v j. We define the incident matrix, say M, of G to be the n m matrix where the ij th entry is 1 if vertex v i is incident to the edge e j and 0 otherwise. 1
3 Definition Let G be a graph. Then a graph H = (V (H), E(H)) is a subgraph of G if V (H) V (G) and E(H) E(G). Thus a graph is a subgraph of itself. Definition Let G = (V, E) be a graph. The degree or valency of a vertex v V (G) is the number of edges incident with v, where a loop contributes two units to the degree. We denote the degree of a vertex v by deg G (v). A vertex of degree zero is called an isolated vertex. Definition Let G be a graph. The number of vertices in V (G) is called the order of graph G and we denote it by n. The number of edges in E(G) is called the size of G and we denote it by m. Lemma Handshaking lemma: In any graph, the sum of all vertex degree is equal to twice the number of edges, i.e., deg G (v) = 2m v V Proof. We ignore vertices of degree zero since they contribute nothing to the sum. We notice that each edge has exactly two vertices, i.e., a vertex at each end. So each edge contributes 2 units to the sum of the degrees. Hence the result follows. Corollary In any graph G (i) The sum of all vertex degrees is an even number. (ii) The number of vertices of odd degree is even Proof. Item (i) follows directly from the lemma above. To prove item (ii), suppose contrary to the claim that the number of vertices of odd degree is odd. Then the sum of all vertex degrees of vertices of odd degree is odd. Further, we note that the sum of all vertex degrees of all vertices of even degree is even. This implies that the sum of all vertex degree is odd, a contradiction to the handshaking lemma. Hence our supposition is false and the result follows. Definition A sequence of degrees of vertices in a graph given in descending order is called the degree sequence. A sequence of non-negative integers is called graphic if the exists a graph whose degree sequence is precisely that sequence. NB From the lemma above it is clear that if the sum of the terms of a sequence is odd then the sequence is not graphic. However, its not always true to say that if the sum of the terms of a sequence is even then the sequence is graphic. This calls for the follow algorithm to determine whether or not a given sequence is graphic. Theorem Havel Hakimi: Consider the following two sequences and assume (i) is in descending order. (i) s, t 1, t 2,..., t s, d 1, d 2,..., d n 2
4 (ii) t 1 1, t 2 1,..., t s 1, d 1,..., d n. Then (i) is graphic iff (ii) is graphic. Proof. Ex For instance, the sequence 6, 6, 6, 6, 4, 3, 3, 0 can be reduced using the above theorem to 3, 1, 0, 0, 0 which is not graphic, since there is no graph with one vertex of degree 3, one vertex of degree 1 and three vertices of degree 0. Hence the original sequence also is not graphic. 1.1 Types of Graphs Definition Let G = (V (G), E(G)) and H = (V (H), E(H)) be graphs. Then (a) G and H are identical iff V (G) = V (H) and E(G) = E(H). (b) G and H of order n are said to be isomorphic if the vertices of G and H can be labelled with numbers 1 to n such that whenever vertex i is adjacent to vertex j in G, then i is adjacent to vertex j in H and conversely. Such a labeling is the same as one to one correspondence between V (G) and V (H) that preserves adjacency. Thus G and H are isomorphic if there is a bijection θ : V (G) V (H) such that uv E(G) iff θ(u)θ(v) E(H). Remark: Saying G and H are isomorphic amounts to saying that G can be relabelled to get another graph, say G, identical to H. In general, for large graphs it is difficult to tell whether or not two graphs are isomorphic. However, if two graphs are isomorphic, then their degree sequence must be the same. Thus if we are asked to tell whether given graphs are isomorphic, the first thing we have to do is to check whether they have the same degree sequence. Then if the degree sequence is the same, we have to do some more checking, since other graphs have the same degree sequence but are not isomorphic. Definition A graph G is called a regular graph if all the vertices are of the same degree, i.e., deg G (v) = k, v V (G) for some k. We then call G a k regular graph. A 3 regular graph is called a cubic graph, for instance the famous Petersen graph on the cover page, which we shall discuss later. Definition A complete graph, which we denote by K n, is a simple graph of order n such every vertex is adjacent to every other vertex, i.e., u, v V (K n ), u and v are adjacent. For n(n 1) instance, a trivial graph is a complete K 1 graph. In general, K n has edges. In addition, 2 K n has n subgraphs isomorphic to K n 1. Definition A graph G such that E(G) = is called a null graph. Thus in a null graph, every vertex is an isolated vertex. 3
5 Definition A graph G such that V (G) can be split into two disjoint sets V 1 and V 2 in such that every edge of G vertex of V 1 to a vertex of V 2 is called a bipartite graph. If G is a simple graph then G is called a complete bipartite graph. We denote a complete bipartite graph by K m,n where in this case V 1 = m and V 2 = n. A K 1,n is called a star graph. A star K 1,3 is called a claw. Definition Let G = (V, E) be any graph, and let S V be any subset of vertices of G. Then the induced subgraph, say G[S] is the graph whose vertex set is S and whose edge set consists of all of the edges in E that have both endpoints in S. A claw-free graph is a graph that does not have a claw as an induced subgraph. 4
6 Chapter 2 Connectedness in graphs Definition A walk, W say, in a graph G is an alternating sequence: v 0, e 1, v 1, e 2, v 2, e 3,..., v r 1, e r, v r of vertices and edges such that e i = v i 1 v i for i = 1, 2, 3,..., r and r is called the length of the walk. That is, the number of edges involved is its length. Remark. (a) In any walk, the last vertex on an edge is the first vertex of the next edge. (b) A vertex maybe repeating in a walk, i.e., one can have a walk of the form u, uv.v, vw, w, wx, x, xv, v, vz, z etc. (c) An edge may be repeated in a walk. Definition If all the edges of a walk are different, then the walk is called a trail. If all the vertices of a walk are different, then it is called a path. We denote by P uv a path from a vertex u to v, also known as a u v path. Definition Definition In a walk W, if the initial vertex v 0 and the final vertex v r are the same, i.e., v 0 = v r, then the walk is called a closed walk. Further, if W is a closed walk with all vertices different except v 0 and r 3, then W is called a cycle of length r or simply an r cycle. We denote by C n a cycle with n vertices. Definition Let G 1 = (V (G 1 ), E(G 1 )) and G 2 = (V (G 2 ), E(G 2 )) be any two graphs. Then the union G 1 G 2 of G 1 and G 2 is the graph with vertex set V (G 1 ) V (G 2 ) and edge set E(G 1 ) E(G 2 ). NB We can remove an edge in a graph and/or any vertex (and the edge incident to it) to obtain another graph. If we remove the vertex v from G, we denote the resulting graph by G v. If we 5
7 delete a set of vertices V, we denote the resulting graph by G V (G e or G E for edges). We call G V and G E vertex deleted subgraph and edge deleted subgraph, respectively. Also, we can remove the edge e = vw and identify v and w so that the resulting vertex v = w is incident to all edges that were originally incident with v or w. We denote the resulting graph by G \ {e} and call the deletion of e from G to obtain G \ {e} an edge contraction. A contraction of G is the graph obtained from G after a succession of edge contractions. Definition A graph G is connected if the exists a u v path for all u, v V (G), otherwise it is disconnected. The maximal connected subgraphs that make up a disconnected graph are called components of G. A connected regular graph where each vertex is of degree two is called a circuit or cycle C n graph denoted C n. Theorem Let G be a connected graph of order n and size m. Then n m + 1. Proof. We prove by induction on the number of edges m. If m = 1 or m = 2 then the theorem holds. So assume that the theorem holds for each graph with fewer than k edges, i.e., for m < k. Let G be a graph with k edges and n vertices. We consider two cases. Case Assume first that G contains a cycle. Then by removing one edge from the cycle, we obtain the graph H say, still connected and has k 1 edges. The number of vertices of H is still n and by inductive hypothesis n (k 1) + 1. So n k and certainly n k + 1. Hence we are done by principle of mathematical induction. Case Now assume that G has no cycle. Let P ab be a longest path in G. Then deg G (a) = deg G (b) = 1, since a and b are end vertices of the path. Remove the vertex a and the edge incident to it. This yeilds a graph, say H, which is connected and has n 1 vertices and k 1 edges. So by inductive hypothesis n 1 (k 1) + 1, i.e., n k + 1. Thus we are done by principle of mathematical induction. Definition Two path in a graph are called edge disjoint if they have no edge in common. Similarly, they are called vertex disjoint if they have no vertex in common. Hence vertex disjoint path are edge disjoint but the converse is not necessarily true. Some important definitions Definition A cycle of length 3 is called a triangle. The graph that has no subgraph isomorphic to a triangle is called a triangle free graph. A cycle of length 4 is denoted by C 4. A graph is called C 4 free if does not contain a cycle of length 4. The length of a shortest cycle in a graph is called girth and is denoted by g(g). In contrast, the length a longest cycle in G is called the circumference, denoted c(g). 6
8 Definition The distance, d(u, v), between any two vertices u and v in G is the length of a shortest path joining u and v. The eccentricity, ecc(v) of a vertex v V (G) is the distance from v to a vertex furthest from it in G. The maximum eccentricity is called the diameter and the minimum eccentricity is called the radius. We denote the diameter and the radius respectively by diam(g) and rad(g). Definition A leaf or end vertex is a vertex v of graph G such that deg G (v) = 1. A vertex of degree at least two is called an internal or interior vertex. Definition A subgraph H of G is called a spanning subgraph if V (H) = V (G). Thus a spanning cycle of G is a cycle that contains all vertices of G. Similarly, a spanning path is a path that contains all vertices of G. Definition The smallest of all the degrees of vertices in a graph G is called the minimum degree and the largest of all the degrees is called the maximum degree. We denote by δ(g) and bigtriangleup(g) the minimum degree and maximum degree, respectively. Definition The length of a walk, W, is called even(odd) if there are even(odd) number of edges in the walk. Lemma Let G be a bipartite graph. Then every cycle in G is of even length. Let V 1 (G) and V 2 (G) be two disjoint sets that forms V (G). Let v 1, v 2, v 3,..., v k, v 1 be a cycle in G. Then it suffices to show that k is even. Assume without loss of generality that v 1 V 1. Since G is a bipartite graph, v 2 V 2, v 3 V 1, v 4 V 2, v 5 V 1 and so on. Thus v k must lie in V 2, since v 1 V 1 and v k is adjacent to v 1. Hence k must be even and the result follows. Theorem Let G be a simple graph of order n. If G has k components, then its size m satisfies n k m 1 (n k)(n k + 1). 2 Proof. Ex. Connected and disconnected graphs Definition A disconnecting set of a connected graph is a set of edges of G whose removal disconnects G. A cutset is any disconnecting set of G no proper subset of which is a disconnecting set. A bridge is any cutset that contains one edge, i.e., it is an edge whose removal disconnects G. Definition Let G be a graph. The edge-connectivity, λ(g), of G is the size of the smallest cutset in G, i.e., the minimum number of edges whose removal disconnects G. If λ(g) k, then we say G is k edge connected. A separating set of a connected graph G, is a set of vertices of G which when deleted disconnects G. A separating set with only one vertex is called a cut-vertex or an articulation-vertex, i.e., a cut-vertex is a vertex whose removal disconnects G. The minimum number of vertices whose deletion disconnects G is called the vertex-connectivity, denoted by κ(g). That is, κ(g) is the size of the smallest separating set. G is k connected if κ(g) k. A vertex-cutset of a graph G is a separating set, S say, such that no proper subset of it disconnects G. 7
9 Theorem Let G be a connected graph. Then κ(g) λ(g) δ(g). Proof. Since δ(g) is the minimum degree, there exist at least one vertex of degree δ. Let v V (G) be a vertex of degree δ and u 1, u 2, u 3,..., u δ N(v). Then by deleting the edges vu i, i = 1, 2, 3,..., δ, we disconnect the graph. Thus the minimum number of edges required to disconnect the graph can not exceed δ. That is λ(g) δ(g). Further, since λ(g) is the minimum number of edges whose removal disconnects G, there is a set of λ(g) edges whose removal disconnects the graph into at least two components. It follows that, we can also disconnect G by removing one suitably chosen vertex from each of these λ(g) edges. Hence the minimum number of vertices whose deletion disconnects G cannot exceeds the edge connectivity λ(g). So κ(g) λ(g) and the result follows. Definition A connected graph with no cut vertices is called a block. NB Every graph is a union of blocks. Futher a block with at least 3 vertices is 2 connected. Definition A family of paths in a graph G is said to be internally disjoint if no vertex of G is an internal vertex of more than one path of the family. Theorem Let G be a graph of order n 3. Then G is 2 connected iff any two vertices of G are connected by at least two internally disjoint paths. Proof. Ex. Corollary If G is 2 connected, then any two vertices of G lie on a common cycle. Definition An edge of a graph G is said to be subdivided when it is deleted and replaced by a path of length two connecting its ends. The internal vertex of this path is thus a new vertex. Corollary Let G be a block with order n 3. Then any two vertices lie on a common cycle. Theorem Menger s Theorem: Edge form. Let G be a connected graph, and u, v V (G) be any two vertices in G. Then the maximum number of edge disjoint paths from u to v is equal to the minimum number of edges separating u from v. Proof. Ex. Corollary A connected graph is k connected if and only if any two vertices of G are connected by at least k edge disjoint paths. Theorem Menger s Theorem: Vertex form. Let G be a connected graph, and u, v V (G) be any two non-adjacent vertices in G. Then the maximum number of vertex-disjoint paths from u to v is equal to the minimum number of vertices separating u from v. 8
10 2.1 Trees and forest Definition A tree is a connected graph without cycles. A collection of trees is called a forest. A tree T is called a spanning tree of a graph G if it is a spanning subgraph of G. A graph with no cycles is called an acyclic graph. Definition The leaf number, denoted by L(G), of a graph G is the maximum number of leaf vertices contained in a spanning tree of G. Its applications are legion in network designs and in solving data communication problems. Theorem Every tree has at least two end vertices. Proof. Ex. Theorem Every connected graph G contains a spanning tree. Theorem Let T be a graph with order n and size m. Then the following statements are equivalent: 1. T is a tree. 2. T is acyclic and n = m T is connected and n = m T is connected and T e is disconnected e E(T ). That is, every edge is a bridge. 5. x, y V (T ),! P (x, y), an x y path in T. 6. T has no cycles but the addition of one new edge creates exactly one cycle. Proof. (a) = (b). Assume that (a) holds. Then T is a tree and by definition it is a connected graph without cycles. Hence T is acyclic. So it is enough to show that n = m + 1. We prove this by induction on the number of edges m. If T = K 1 then n = 1 and m = 0 and the result holds. So we assume that E(T ) and that the result is true for every graph with m 1 edges. Since T is a tree, it has at least two end vertices. Let x be a leaf vertex of T. Then deg T (x) = 1. Let T x = T x be a graph obtained from T by deleting the vertex x. Then T x has order n 1 and size m 1. So by inductive assumption, V (T x ) = E(T x ) +1. Thus n 1 = (m 1)+1 and so n = m+1 as desired. (b) = (c). Assume that (b) is true. Then T is acyclic and n = m + 1. It suffices to show that T is connected. Assume contrary to the claim that T is disconnected into k components. Then k 2, otherwise T is connected. Let T 1, T 2, T 3,..., T k be the components of T where each T i has order n i. Now for each i, T i has no cycles and has n i 1 edges. This implies that T (n 1 1) + (n 2 1) n k 1 edges, i.e., T has n k edges, where k 2. This contradicts the fact that T has n 1 edges. Therefore T must be connected. (c) = (d). Assume that (c) holds. Then T is connected and n = m + 1. It is adequate to 9
11 show that every edge of T is a bridge. Assume that T has an edge which is not a bridge. Then the removal of that edge yields a connected graph with n 2 edges and n vertices, a contradiction. Hence T e is disconnected e E(T ). (d) = (e). Assume that (d) is true and suppose contrary to the claim that for some x, y V (T ) that there exists at least two paths from x to y. Then T has at least one cycle and the deletion of one edge on such a cycle does not disconnect the graph. This is a contradiction to the fact that every edge of T is a bridge. Hence (e) holds also. (e) = (f). If (e) holds then clearly, T has no cycles otherwise there exists at least two paths from x to y for some x, y V (T ), which is not allowed. Further, from (e), we conclude that T is connected, hence the addition of a new edge creates a cycle in T. To show uniqueness, we suppose on contrary that the addition of one creates at least two cycles. Then it implies that some vertices of T are connected by more than one path, contradicting (e). Hence (e) implies (f). (f) = (a). Following (f), we notice that T has no cycles. So it is enough to show that T is connected for it to be a tree. Suppose on contrary that T is disconnected. Then by adding an edge from one component of T to the other, we see that no cycle is created. This contradicts (f). Hence T must be connected. This completes the proof. 2.2 Eulerian and Hamiltonian graphs Definition A graph G is Eulerian if contains a closed trail that includes every edge of edge. G is called semi-eulerian if it contains a trail that includes edge. Thus every Eulerian graph is semi-eulerian. Definition A graph G is said to be Hamiltonian if it contains a spanning cycle. G is said to be traceable if it contains a spanning path. Definition Definition Everybody is a genius.

Course & Instructor Policies There will be no make-ups except in extraordinary circumstances which will require proper documentation. Graphing calculators will NOT be allowed. Cell phones and pages must be turned off during exams and during class. Field Trip Policies Off-campus Instruction and Course Activities
Off-campus, out-of-state, and foreign instruction and activities are subject to state law and University
policies and procedures regarding travel and risk-related activities. Information regarding these rules and regulations may be found at the website address Additional information is available from the office of the school dean. Below is a description of any travel and/or risk-related activity associated with this course.
Student Conduct & Discipline
The University of Texas System and The University of Texas at Dallas have rules and regulations for the orderly and efficient conduct of their business. It is the responsibility of each student and each student organization to be knowledgeable about the rules and regulations which govern student conduct and activities. General information on student conduct and discipline is contained in the UTD publication, A to Z Guide, which is provided to all registered students each academic year. The University of Texas at Dallas administers student discipline within the procedures of recognized and established due process. Procedures are defined and described in the Rules and Regulations, Board of Regents, The University of Texas System, Part 1, Chapter VI, Section 3, and in Title V, Rules on Student Services and Activities of the university's Handbook of Operating Procedures. Copies of these rules and regulations are available to students in the Office of the Dean of Students, where staff members are available to assist students in interpreting the rules and regulations (SU 1.602, 972/8836391). A student at the university neither loses the rights nor escapes the responsibilities of citizenship. He or she is expected to obey federal, state, and local laws as well as the Regents' Rules, university regulations, and administrative rules. Students are subject to discipline for violating the standards of conduct whether such conduct takes place on or off campus, or whether civil or criminal penalties are also imposed for such conduct.
Academic Integrity
The faculty expects from its students a high level of responsibility and academic honesty. Because the value of an academic degree depends upon the absolute integrity of the work done by the student for that degree, it is imperative that a student demonstrate a high standard of individual honor in his or her scholastic work. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, statements, acts or omissions related to applications for enrollment or the award of a degree, and/or the submission as one's own work or material that is not
one's own. As a general rule, scholastic dishonesty involves one of the following acts: cheating, plagiarism, collusion and/or falsifying academic records. Students suspected of academic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary proceedings. Plagiarism, especially from the web, from portions of papers for other classes, and from any other source is unacceptable and will be dealt with under the university's policy on plagiarism (see general catalog for details). This course will use the resources of turnitin.com, which searches the web for possible plagiarism and is over 90% effective.
Email Use
The University of Texas at Dallas recognizes the value and efficiency of communication between faculty/staff and students through electronic mail. At the same time, email raises some issues concerning security and the identity of each individual in an email exchange. The university encourages all official student email correspondence be sent only to a student's U.T. Dallas email address and that faculty and staff consider email from students official only if it originates from a UTD student account. This allows the university to maintain a high degree of confidence in the identity of all individual corresponding and the security of the transmitted information. UTD furnishes each student with a free email account that is to be used in all communication with university personnel. The Department of Information Resources at U.T. Dallas provides a method for students to have their U.T. Dallas mail forwarded to other accounts.
Withdrawal from Class
The administration of this institution has set deadlines for withdrawal of any college-level courses. These dates and times are published in that semester's course catalog. Administration procedures must be followed. It is the student's responsibility to handle withdrawal requirements from any class. In other words, I cannot drop or withdraw any student. You must do the proper paperwork to ensure that you will not receive a final grade of "F" in a course if you choose not to attend the class once you are enrolled.
Student Grievance Procedures
Procedures for student grievances are found in Title V, Rules on Student Services and Activities, of the university's Handbook of Operating Procedures. In attempting to resolve any student grievance regarding grades, evaluations, or other fulfillments of academic responsibility, it is the obligation of the student first to make a serious effort to resolve the matter with the instructor, supervisor, administrator, or committee with whom the grievance originates (hereafter called "the respondent"). Individual faculty members retain primary responsibility for assigning grades and evaluations. If the matter cannot be resolved at that level, the grievance must be submitted in writing to the respondent with a copy of the respondent's School Dean. If the matter is not resolved by the written response provided by the respondent, the student may submit a written appeal to the School Dean. If the grievance is not resolved by the School Dean's decision, the student may make a written appeal to the Dean of Graduate or Undergraduate Education, and the deal will appoint and convene an Academic Appeals Panel. The decision of the Academic Appeals Panel is final. The results of the academic appeals process will be distributed to all involved parties. Copies of these rules and regulations are available to students in the Office of the Dean of Students, where staff members are available to assist students in interpreting the rules and regulations.
Incomplete Grade Policy
As per university policy, incomplete grades will be granted only for work unavoidably missed at the semester's end and only if 70% of the course work has been completed. An incomplete grade must be resolved within eight (8) weeks from the first day of the subsequent long semester. If the required work to complete the course and to remove the incomplete grade is not submitted by the specified deadline, the incomplete grade is changed automatically to a grade of F .
Disability Services
The goal of Disability Services is to provide students with disabilities educational opportunities equal to those of their non-disabled peers. Disability Services is located in room 1.610 in the Student Union. Office hours are Monday and Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; Tuesday and Wednesday, 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; and Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The contact information for the Office of Disability Services is:
The University of Texas at Dallas, SU 22 PO Box 830688 Richardson, Texas 75083- 0688 (972) 883-2098 (voice or TTY) Essentially, the law requires that colleges and universities make those reasonable adjustments necessary to eliminate discrimination on the basis of disability. For example, it may be necessary to remove classroom prohibitions against tape recorders or animals (in the case of dog guides) for students who are blind. Occasionally an assignment requirement may be substituted (for example, a research paper versus an oral presentation for a student who is hearing impaired). Classes enrolled students with mobility impairments may have to be rescheduled in accessible facilities. The college or university may need to provide special services such as registration, note-taking, or mobility assistance. It is the student's responsibility to notify his or her professors of the need for such an accommodation. Disability Services provides students with letters to present to faculty members to verify that the student has a disability and needs accommodations. Individuals requiring special accommodation should contact the professor after class or during office hours.
Religious Holy Days
The University of Texas at Dallas will excuse a student from class or other required activities for the travel to and observance of a religious holy day for a religion whose places of worship are exempt from property tax under Section 11.20, Tax Code, Texas Code Annotated. The student is encouraged to notify the instructor or activity sponsor as soon as possible regarding the absence, preferably in advance of the assignment. The student, so excused, will be allowed to take the exam or complete the assignment within a reasonable time after the absence: a period equal to the length of the absence, up to a maximum of one week. A student who notifies the instructor and completes any missed exam or assignment may not be penalized for the absence. A student who fails to complete the exam or assignment within the prescribed period may receive a failing grade for that exam or assignment. If a student or an instructor disagrees about the nature of the absence [i.e., for the purpose of observing a religious holy day] or if there is similar disagreement about whether the student has been given a reasonable time to complete any missed assignments or examinations, either the student or the instructor may request a ruling from the chief executive officer of the institution, or his or her designee. The chief executive officer or designee must take into account the legislative intent of TEC 51.911(b), and the student and instructor will abide by the decision of the chief executive officer or designee.

Usually the options become quite broad after those courses. Usually, the course taken after is advance calculus, complex analysis or partial differential equations (NOTE: ordinary differentials comes before partial differential equations at introductory level).
With the foundations you learned, beginning with algebra, calculus, ODE's and Linear Algebra, you can now tackle on more advance courses such as: abstract algebra, number theory, upper division ODE's (this means you'll be going into more complex topics than you covered in your first ODE course: casic existence and stability theory, more difference equations, and boundary value problems), real analysis, differential geometry (which is basically a hardcore more advance calc-3/ vector calc).
If you're pursuing engineering, you'll probably be required to take a course called "discrete mathematics" some type of probability/ statistics course (for engineers and physicist) and topology.

However, you should note that all schools are different in their requirements and some schools don't require many of those applied courses such as PDE's and differential geometry. Since most mathematicians don't really care about the application of it, that's what they have engineers for. Instead, they care more about proofs, theories, and such. So you'll probably be required to focus on more theory based courses dealing with proofs and all this bull crud.

Okay, thanks, but do you know if community colleges like LACC let you take the Calculus 3 (multivariable calculus) test and write you a proof that says you know the material without taking the class? I know that if you don't take the class, you don't get college credits, but I'm fine with that. And do you need to pay for taking the test?
abb0t

Lol. You're from LA. Awesome.
And no. I don't think that colleges offer tests like that to sort of "skip" the course and get credit for it. You can always talk to the professor to see if you could maybe take one of his finals to get exempt from taking the course, but the final decision is usually given by the department chair of mathematics and is very rare. It wouldn't hurt to try though.
Usually schools only accept AP scores of 3 or above to get credit and it's usually for Calculus 1 and 2. Oftentimes, people are required to start with Calculus 3.
and also, by the way, LACC is a community college and does not offer courses such as complex analysis, PDE's or any of the others mentioned above, you must take those courses at a 4-year university when you are enrolled OR you can take them through open-university. If you do that, I suggest CSULA as it's relatively close to LACC and also cheaper than UCLA and or Loyola Marymount.

So as a high school student, do I need to pay for taking the math class at CSULA? It's okay if I don't get college credits, all I want is to take the test and let them write me a paper that has the score on it and that I know the material. Do I need to pay for that at CSULA? Also, is CSULA a 4-year college or what?

If you are not enrolled at CSULA then you must pay out of pocket (that means no financial aid).
In college, you are responsible for paying for your classes. I believe that it's $298/ unit. I'm not sure how many units complex analysis is at CSULA, but I'm guessing it's maybe 3, which means it's around $1000 dollars (IF you're not enrolled at CSULA).
Also since you're in high school, the math is much tougher in college. Often requiring more independent and critical thinking from the student, which is the main reason they DON'T give credit and or exams to students to place in a Calc II or Calc III or above, math course.
I suggest you not skip so that you can adjust to college level mathematics. It can sometimes be overwhelming for freshman since the pace goes much faster than it does at high-school level. Often covering 2-5 chapters in a 50-90 minute lecture. Which means that they will not go into great detail and expect you to have mastered the material by the time next lecture comes around as well as know how to apply it in a variety of ways to more complex problems.

Most schools have an "entrance" exam to see what level of math you're at. Usually if you do well, they place you in Calculus 1 or 2. And it is free.
However, if you're not taking any Calculus AP courses, such as AB or BC, then you will not get exempt from this placement exam and will be placed in the math course they feel you are at.

The Real Number System
What are the 'Real' Numbers?
The so-called 'Real Number System' is an attempt to extend the ideas of
number and arithmetic (which originate in counting) to describe more general
measurements such as length, weight and temperature.
In fact, the way we measure anything is based on counting. When
we use a ruler or tape to measure a length, we do so by counting the number
of marked intervals of some specific length or "unit" (eg cm,m, or inch).
But this is often not exact - and we divide each unit interval into smaller
parts (or fractions) to get a more accurate (but still not perfect) measure
of the length.
It might be expected that if we take all possible fractional divisions
of the basic unit then we'd be able to give an exact description for any
concievable length and so that every length can be measured exactly by
a "rational" number of units.
In fact, we can get arbitrarily close to any real length with
rationals, but we can't always match it exactly. (This idea of arbitrarily
close approximation is the source of the mathematical concept of a limit
which underlies many of the concepts of Calculus.)
On the other hand, if that was the bad news, the good news is that the
operations of arithmetic (defined for whole numbers in terms of combinations
of sets) can be extended in a natural way to fractions and also to those
"limits of fractions" that we need to account for all possible measurements.
One way to define the Real Number System is to "construct"
it by identifying real numbers with sequences of approximating rationals
and showing that the arithmetic operations do extend consistently. Another
is to specify the basic properties that the resulting system should satisfy
and to take these as "Axioms" from which less
obvious properties can be proved (or disproved as the case may be). | 677.169 | 1 |

Description
This book emerged from a set of lecture notes used by one of the authors to teach a 200 level course in Nature of Mathematics. The course was introduced as a bridge from traditional Calculus I, II, III courses to higher level courses of Mathematics, such as Abstract Algebra and Advanced Calculus. The book introduces basic notions from set theory, symbolic logic, functions and relations, number theory, combinatorics and graph theory. It also gives an introduction to more abstract mathematical proofs. The techniques discussed in the book include: direct proof, in particular proof by enumeration of cases, proof by contradiction, proof by mathematical induction, proofs using Well Ordering Principle, pigeonhole principle, inclusion-exclusion principle and coloring arguments. | 677.169 | 1 |

* Presented from a geometric analytical viewpoint, this work addresses advanced topics in complex analysis that verge on modern areas of research
* Methodically designed with individual chapters containing a rich collection of exercises, examples, and illustrations
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
From the Back Cover:
Complex variables is a precise, elegant, and captivating subject. Presented from the point of view of modern work in the field, this new book addresses advanced topics in complex analysis that verge on current areas of research, including invariant geometry, the Bergman metric, the automorphism groups of domains, harmonic measure, boundary regularity of conformal maps, the Poisson kernel, the Hilbert transform, the boundary behavior of harmonic and holomorphic functions, the inhomogeneous Cauchy–Riemann equations, and the corona problem.
The author adroitly weaves these varied topics to reveal a number of delightful interactions. Perhaps more importantly, the topics are presented with an understanding and explanation of their interrelations with other important parts of mathematics: harmonic analysis, differential geometry, partial differential equations, potential theory, abstract algebra, and invariant theory. Although the book examines complex analysis from many different points of view, it uses geometric analysis as its unifying theme.
This methodically designed book contains a rich collection of exercises, examples, and illustrations within each individual chapter, concluding with an extensive bibliography of monographs, research papers, and a thorough index. Seeking to capture the imagination of advanced undergraduate and graduate students with a basic background in complex analysis―and also to spark the interest of seasoned workers in the field―the book imparts a solid education both in complex analysis and in how modern mathematics works.
Review:
"The geometric point of view is the unifying theme in this fine textbook in complex function theory. But the author also studies byways that come from analysis and algebra.... Altogether, the author treats advanced topics that lead the reader to modern areas of research. And what is important, the topics are presented with an explanation of their interaction with other important parts of mathematics. The presentations of the topics are clear and the text makes [for] very good reading; basic ideas of many concepts and proofs are carefully described, non-formal introductions to each chapter are very helpful, a rich collection of exercises is well composed and helps the student to understand the subject. The book under review leads the student to see what complex function theory has to offer and thereby gives him or her a taste of some of the areas of current research. As such it is a welcome addition to the existing literature in complex function theory.... In this reviewer's opinion, the book can warmly be recommended both to experts and to a new generation of mathematicians." ―Zentralblatt MATH
"This book provides a very good and deep point of view of modern and advanced topics in complex analysis. ... Each chapter contains a rich collection of exercises of different level, examples and illustrations. ... The book is very clearly written, with rigorous proofs, in a pleasant and accessible style. It is warmly recommended to advanced undergraduate and graduate students with a basic background in complex analysis, as well as to all researchers that are interested in modern and advanced topics in complex analysis." ―Studia Universitatis Babes-Bolyai Mathematica
"This book is an exploration in Complex Analysis as a synthesis of many different areas; the prejudice in the subject is geometric, but the reader may [need] basic information from analysis..., partial differential equations, algebra, and other parts of mathematics.

Modern High School Mathematics (Journal Entry 2) - The past...
The past weeks' class discussion/readings have been primarily centered on teaching algebra through a conceptual approach. Before I begin my discussion on algebra, however, I would like to examine the reading titled, "Calculational and Conceptual Orientations in Teaching Mathematics". In this article, Thompson begins by introducing two teaching scenarios; one linked to calculational instruction and the other linked to conceptual instruction. In each scenario, the teachers were discussing the same problem with their students. The difference in their instruction, however, was very evident. In the first scenario, teacher 1 was mainly focused on the arithmetic procedures which led the students to specific results. On the other hand, teacher 2 was focused on the reasoning behind the arithmetic procedures performed by the students. He forces his students to explain their logic behind each step and to make connections between the numbered results and their symbolic representations. Based on what I have learned in the past

Hi fellow students , I heard that there are certain software that can help with us doing our homework,like a teacher substitute. Is this really true? Is there a software that can assist me with math? I have never tried one until now, but they shouldn't be hard to use I suppose . If anyone has such a program, I would really appreciate some more detail about it. I'm in Algebra 1 now, so I've been studying things like what is the longest math problem in the world and it's not easy at all.
Well of course there is. If you are determined about learning what is the longest math problem in the world, then Algebrator can be of great help to you. It is made in such a manner that almost anyone can use it. You don't need to be a computer professional in order to operate the program.
Algebrator is the program that I have used through several algebra classes - Intermediate algebra, Remedial Algebra and Algebra 1. It is a truly a great piece of algebra software. I remember of going through difficulties with angle-angle similarity, long division and multiplying matrices. I would simply type in a problem from the workbook , click on Solve – and step by step solution to my algebra homework. I highly recommend the program. | 677.169 | 1 |
What is the most efficient way to gain mathematical insight?
Little bit of my background:
Im currently studying mathematics in the third year at university (or maybe you call it college in your country), and I have two more years left. I feel that I have affinity for physics and maths, and it is something I really want to master. My grades in these subjects is good - but my way (the easiest way ... ) to obtain good grades has been to practice problem solving techniques, rather than obtaining the deep mathematical insight Im wanting. As of now it's difficult for me to apply my current mathematical skills to new subjects independently, meaning that if Im facing problems i have not seen before, there is a great possibility that i will manage not solve it. I want that kind of insight that allows me to apply my math skills to any problem faced!
My question is therefore: How do I obtain this kind of mathematical knowledge? Do you have any books to recommend? How should i use the books? How should i work with the topics? Im interested in all topics, and its up to you to recommend in what order those topics should be studied. Im willing to lay down some hard work.. Both general tips, and specific study-tips (like write down the teorems on a sheet as you read) is of great help.
Don't worry about efficient. Improving your problem solving skills is a highly inefficient process. There are some tricks to help you, but a lot of it involves just getting use to staring at a problem for long periods of time. My understanding of the cognitive science research on grandmaster chess players is that they get to where they are by learning large numbers of patterns, and this seems to make sense with what I've seen with mathematicians and physicists. A good physicist can solve a problem because it's similar to one that they've seen before, but they've seen thousands of problems.
The other thing that helps is to not think in terms of having or not having mathematical insight, but in terms of improving skills. If you study problem solving for several years, you will *still* be stumped, but you'll be stumped by a much harder set of problemsGood point, but what is the most efficient way to understand these theorems and formulas? (In your opinion of course, it's impossible to state something truly general)
Good point, but what is the most efficient way to understand these theorems and formulas? (In your opinion of course, it's impossible to state something truly general)I always though that being mathematician is about finding new patterns, and not master usage of those already invented. This is what engineering is about.
It's more about seeing old patterns in a new context. I've heard the phrase "there's a finite number of good ideas" quite a few times. Even the Fields medal is often given to someone for building a bridge between two areas of math, so that old and well understood concepts from one field can be used in another field. Another way of saying that is that you notice that two things are essentially the same.Good point, but what is the most efficient way to understand these theorems and formulas? (In your opinion of course, it's impossible to state something truly general)
Personally, I try to get as many different sources as I can. I find multiple textbooks. I try to find and watch opencourseware lectures (if they exist for the topic). Quite often the second book or video will suddenly make sense and then it will seem obvious...
Sometimes I try to read ahead in the subject, even if I don't totally understand it. The material I am working on now has more depth if I know where it will be used later.Any more opinions on the matter is greatly appreciated (=
Here is kind of how I usually self-study something. Try to prove every theorem without reading the proof first. If you can't get anywhere in 15 minutes, then look at how the proof starts. Rinse and repeat. Make notes of ideas you had, because they can often be as valuable as the stuff in your text.
When done try to summarize the proof down into steps that give you enough information, so that you can fill out the details. After you've done this, write down the theorem and this summary of the proof in your own notes. Put your notes aside and try prove the theorem without looking at your notes. If you can't do it, look at your notes and try over with a blank paper.
When writing the notes, the idea is to cram as much stuff into one page on your notes as you can. The next day before you go forward, skim over your notes for the past few days trying to fill in the proofs for stuff that you don't find completely trivial. The point of having short notes is that it's faster to skim over what you've done. When something that you previously thought was a step worth mentioning in the proof starts to become completely obvious, delete the step from your written notes (use LaTeX) and or the whole lemma or theorem.
This is essentially how I study. If I don't do something similar, I will not remember anything I've read a few weeks later. It takes time, but you'll remember it. I keep looking at my notes constantly and often copy paste important theorems and proofs into a flash cards program called Mnemosyne (you can google it online).
It takes time, but I've come to the conclusion that it's better to learn the foundational material really well than trying to expose yourself to lot of stuff. When you do research on a problem, it's hard to find a substitute for a lack of good foundations, but the lack of having seen some stuff that might help you is easily mitigated by talking about your problem to others.
Thank you for a great answer! How long have you done this, and how well has it worked? Im also wondering in what year of study you are in?
I've been doing it for a few years and I'm a 1st year Ph.D. student in math at an Ivy school, so it has worked pretty well if grad school admissions is any indication.
As a grad student the course load is too hard, so it seems that I can't continue doing this the way I used to, but in undergrad it was doable and I was able to keep up with the pace. However, I'm probably going to go over the stuff we covered this fall during Christmas break by using the same method and similarly next summer for stuff we cover next spring.
Short answer: lots. Meaning I go to the gym or for a run each morning for an hour together with a friend of mine, spend one evening a week with friends, watch maybe a movie or two per week before bed, but otherwise I spend pretty much all my time awake studying. | 677.169 | 1 |

An Invitation to Real Analysis is written both as a stepping stone to higher calculus and analysis courses, and as foundation for deeper reasoning in applied mathematics. This book also provides a broader foundation in real analysis than is typical for future teachers of secondary mathematics. In connection with this, within the chapters, students are pointed to numerous articles from The College Mathematics Journal and The American Mathematical Monthly. These articles are inviting in their level of exposition and their wide-ranging content. Axioms are presented with an emphasis on the distinguishing characteristics that new ones bring, culminating with the axioms that define the reals. Set theory is another theme found in this book, beginning with what students are familiar with from basic calculus. This theme runs underneath the rigorous development of functions, sequences, and series, and then ends with a chapter on transfinite cardinal numbers and with chapters on basic point-set topology. Differentiation and integration are developed with the standard level of rigor, but always with the goal of forming a firm foundation for the student who desires to pursue deeper study. A historical theme interweaves throughout the book, with many quotes and accounts of interest to all readers. Over 600 exercises and dozens of figures help the learning process. Several topics (continued fractions, for example), are included in the appendices as enrichment material. An annotated bibliography is included Bulletin of Mathematics Books has been writing in one form or another for most of life.

A Mind for NumbersPublisher's Summary
How can calculus help you survive the zombie apocalypse? Colin Adams, humor columnist for the Mathematical Intelligencer and one of today's most outlandish and entertaining popular math writers, demonstrates how in this zombie adventure novel. Zombies and Calculus is the account of Craig Williams, a math professor at a small liberal arts college in New England, who, in the middle of a calculus class, finds himself suddenly confronted by a late-arriving student whose hunger is not for knowledge. As the zombie virus spreads and civilization crumbles, Williams uses calculus to help his small band of survivors defeat the hordes of the undead. Along the way, listeners learn how to avoid being eaten by taking advantage of the fact that zombies always point their tangent vector toward their target, and how to use exponential growth to determine the rate at which the virus is spreading.
Williams also covers topics such as logistic growth, gravitational acceleration, predator-prey models, pursuit problems, the physics of combat, and more. With the aid of his story, you too can survive the zombie onslaught. Featuring easy-to-use appendixes that explain the mathematics necessary to enjoy the book, Zombies and Calculus is suitable for recent converts to calculus as well as more advanced readers familiar with multivariable calculus. | 677.169 | 1 |

Teaching Algebra: The Search for X
I was struggling through a particularly difficult concept with my daughter in her algebra the other day when in exasperation she asked, "Why do I have to study algebra anyway? What's it good for?"
The easy anwer is that it is heretical for a mathematics student to even ask such a question. Like climbing a mountain, algebra ought to be mastered just because it's there.
The truth of the matter is that algebra is inevitable for anyone who will be attending college. Everyone has to take it and pass it if they are going to make it through.
For mathematics, science, and medicine algebra is the first course in every sequence. Strong algebra skills are necessary for chemistry, and algebra is the foundation for advanced math and calculus, which are prerequisite for physics. Physics is necessary to the study of electronics.
You might as well face it: Like it or not, algebra is in your future.
Rule One: Start Early
Algebra is not difficult. A lot of algebraic ideas can be taught quite young.
As I said last issue, an algebra student has to be proficient in arithmetic. You don't want to be bogged down in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division when you are trying to learn how to solve equations. These basic operations should be extended to decimals (numbers with digits to the right of the decimal point) also. Perhaps most importantly, your student should be excellent at doing arithmetic with fractions. Much of the way you manipulate algebraic expressions is analogous to what you do when you add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions. Proficiency at fractions will carry over to algebra.
Beyond the four basic operations, your student should know what it means to raise a number to a power, i.e., multiplying a number by itself a certain number of times. For example, "24," read "two raised to the fourth power," is the same as "2 x 2 x 2 x 2." He should also know what a square root is.
Another important concept is the idea of "x" - the number we are trying to find. Kids are used to problems like:
4 + ___ = 8
That blank spot is where the "x" goes and you should put it in there every now and then, like this:
4 + x = 8
so your student gets comfortable with using a letter for the unknown number.
Another idea a young student can master is the idea of the number line and coordinate plane. You draw a line with an arrow on the right end, you put evenly spaced dots on the line, you label the dots with the counting numbers, and you have a number line. You can use a number line to teach counting, addition, and subtraction. You can introduce zero and extend the line to the left and show the negative numbers.
Finally you can take another number line and place it vertically so that the zeros line up. You can specify any point on the paper by its number on the horizontal line and its number on the vertical line like this: (2, 3). You find the point by going out to two on the horizontally, then up three from there. Have your student locate a series of points and connect them to draw a picture. After a little practice, graphing things in algebra will seem totally natural.
Rule Two: No Calculators
Pocket calculators first started replacing sliderules back when I was in college. We mathematics majors used to scoff at them as a crutch. As use of calculators has become a greater and greater part of elementary school and high school math curricula, our opinion of calculators has been borne out, only instead of a crutch, it appears that calculators are more like a wheelchair or maybe even a straitjacket. When immobilized by the use of calculators, the "math muscles" never develop.
Learning mathematics means learning how to manipulate numbers and mathematical symbols with your mind and a pencil and paper. You will never become proficient at math if all you learn is how to press buttons and read the answer.
Algebra, trigonometry, and calculus were all invented centuries before the microchip, and kids never "needed" calculators to do them until recently. Yet, modern algebra curricula are increasingly requiring the use of graphing calculators. This innovation was promoted by the graphing calculator manufacturers, so you don't have to be very cynical to figure out the economic motivation behind it.
A separate unit on how to use a graphing calculator might be useful after the student has learned algebra, since using calculators is now allowed when taking standardized tests such as the SAT. Because calculators are allowed, the test designers no longer formulate the problems to make sure all the answers work out to nice round numbers. Knowing how to use a calculator can save time once you know enough math to know if the answer you get is reasonable. Once you have done the math, the calculator does the arithmetic.
Rule Three: Show all Work
Math students need to get in the habit of writing out all the steps of a problem when they are solving it. A bare answer is either right or wrong. If your student doesn't write down the steps, he will either get a problem all right or all wrong. But if your student gets into the habit of writing out his problems, you can see if the answer is wrong because of a foolish arithmetic error or because the student has no notion of what he is doing. The student will learn the blessedness of partial credit and the parent will have an inkling of the thought processes that went into the student's answer and instruct him accordingly.
Rule 4: Get the Solutions
Whatever curriculum you get, get the solutions manual. I am not talking about an answer key. A solutions manual gives more than just the bottom line of the answer; it gives a step-by-step solution for the problem showing all work. Since the easiest way to learn how to do math problems is to see similar problems worked out in front of you, the solutions manual is invaluable. It allows even algebra-weak parents to check homework and award partial credit.
This "manual" does not always have to be a book. Video/DVD algebra programs such as Chalk Dust demonstrate how to do dozens of different kinds of problems for each algebra topic. The D.I.V.E. into Math CD-ROMs, based on the Saxon math text books, include short narrated animations that work out the solutions for each problem in every textbook.
Unless you are a math fanatic who just exists to solve high school algebra problems, having the solutions is a must.
Extraneous Topics
A number of topics have crept into the algebra curriculum, most of them having to do with statistics, no doubt fueled by the increasing role of statistics in our everyday lives in the U.S.A. Topics such as reading graphs; mean, median, and mode; statistical plots of data; and permutations and combinations make more sense when studied separately as a statistics unit.
Saxon texts dedicate such a lot of space to geometry in the Algebra I and II texts, you may have the impression that when you finish Algebra I and II, you have also covered geometry. This is not the case as you will see next issue when geometry is my topic | 677.169 | 1 |
