Basic Skills Mathematics 7This book provides a sound course in mathematics that Year 7 students will find easy to read and understand.The aim is to cover the core skills in a clear and readable way, so that every Year 7 student can be given a sound foundation in mathematics that will stand them in good stead as they reach the end of their primary-level education. Units are presented in easy-to-follow, double-page spreads. Attention has been paid to sentence length and page layout to ensure the book is easy to read.
Stopping Times and Directed Processes (Encyclopedia of Mathematics and Its Applications)The notion of 'stopping times' is a useful one in probability theory; it can be applied to both classical problems and fresh ones. This book presents this technique in the context of the directed set, stochastic processes indexed by directed sets, and many applications in probability, analysis and ergodic theory. The book opens with a discussion of pointwise and stochastic convergence of processes, with concise proofs arising from the method of stochastic convergence.
Mathematics and Technology is intended for undergraduate students, instructors and high school teachers. Prerequisites are essentially linear algebra and Euclidean geometry. Additionally, its lack of calculus centricity as well as a clear indication of the more difficult topics and relatively advanced references make it suitable for any curious individual with a decent command of high school math.
