The Ultimate Book of Puzzles, Mathematical Diversions, and Brainteasers: A Definitive Collection of the Best Puzzles

Long-time puzzle buffs have yearned for a one-volume collection of the best brain-twisters ever devised. Here are 360 carefully constructed exercises that use words, numbers, and diagrams to test logic, numeracy geometry, physics, intuition, common sense, and imagination.

Semimodular Lattices: Theory and Applications (Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications)

Lattice theory evolved as part of algebra in the nineteenth century through the work of Boole, Peirce and Schröder, and in the first half of the twentieth century through the work of Dedekind, Birkhoff, Ore, von Neumann, Mac Lane, Wilcox, Dilworth, and others. In Semimodular Lattices, Manfred Stern uses successive generalizations of distributive and modular lattices to outline the development of semimodular lattices from Boolean algebras.

The role of a math coach is demanding and often undefined. Many math coaches feel unprepared to meet the enormous challenge of helping schools improve math instruction. In this edited collection, veteran math coaches share their expertise, providing glimpses into the unique trials, false starts, and successes they have faced in their positions. The authors ask and answer such questions as: What makes an effective math coach? What are helpful strategies for supporting both eager and reluctant teachers? What pitfalls do math coaches encounter and what can they do about them?
