Lessons for Algebraic Thinking: Grades 3-5
The lessons in this book build the foundation that prepares students for studying algebra in middle and high school. Incorporating manipulative materials, children's books, and problem-solving investigations, lessons actively engage students in creating, recognizing, describing, and extending patterns, and representing patterns with words, tables, variables, and graphs. Lessons also introduce students to solving equations and plotting points.
Finite Group Representations for the Pure Mathematician
The book is intended to be used as a learning tool by people who do not know the subject, rather than as an encyclopaedic reference. The book's title is intended to indicate both breadth and limitations: it will probably not be very useful to most physicists or chemists, but it is intended to be appropriate for non-specialists in the area of representation theory, such as those whose primary interest is topology, combinatorics or number theory.
Contemporary Mathematics: Categories in Computer Science and Logic
Category theory has had important uses in logic since the invention of topos theory in the early 1960s, and logic has always been an important component of theoretical computer science. A new development has been the increase in direct interactions between category theory and computer science. In June 1987, an AMS-IMS-SIAM Summer Research Conference on Categories in Computer Science and Logic was held at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
Peter Higgins distills centuries of work into one delightful narrative that celebrates the mystery of numbers and explains how different kinds of numbers arose and why they are useful. Full of historical snippets and interesting examples, the book ranges from simple number puzzles and magic tricks, to showing how ideas about numbers relate to real-world problems, such as: How are our bank account details kept secure when shopping over the internet? What are the chances of winning at Russian roulette; or of being dealt a flush in a poker hand?
Student Solutions Manual for Stewart's Multivariable Calculus, 6th Edition
Provides completely worked-out solutions to all odd-numbered exercises within the text, giving you a way to check your answers and ensure that you took the correct steps to arrive at an answer. James Stewart received his M.S. from Stanford University and his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. He did research at the University of London and was influenced by the famous mathematician George Polya at Stanford University.
