Math Connects is intended for use in all elementary math classes as a balanced basal approach to teaching mathematics. Math Connects is the elementary portion of the vertically aligned PreK to 8 Math Connects program. This program is designed to excite students about learning mathematics while at the same time providing teachers with all the tools and materials they will need to teach the program. Students will be motivated as they solve real-world problems such as creatures under the sea, emperors of the ice, and roller coaster physics.
Algebra 1 (Applications, Equations, Graphs) brings math to life with many real-life applications. The cover illustrates some of the applications used in this book. Examples of mathematics in baseball, space exploration, mountain climbing, and graphic design are shown. Circling the globe are three key aspects of Algebra 1 - the equations, graphs, and applications that students will use in this course to help them understand how mathematics relates to the world. Reading age for native speakers: High School students
This volume collects the lecture series given at the International Workshop on Noncommutative Geometry that took place at the Institute for Studies in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics in 2005.
An ideal course text or supplement for the many underprepared students enrolled in the required freshman college math course, this revision of the highly successful outline (more than 348,000 copies sold to date) has been updated to reflect the many recent changes in the curriculum. Based on Schaum's critically acclaimed pedagogy of concise theory illustrated by solved problems, Schaum's Outline of College Mathematics features: -Mathematical modeling throughout -Modernized graphs -Graphing and scientific calculator coverage -More than 1,500 fully solved problems -Another 1,500 supplementary problems -And much more
This unique book by Stewart Shapiro looks at a range of philosophical issues and positions concerning mathematics in four comprehensive sections. Part I describes questions and issues about mathematics that have motivated philosophers since the beginning of intellectual history. Part II is an historical survey, discussing the role of mathematics in the thought of such philosophers as Plato, Aristotle, Kant, and Mill. Part III covers the three major positions held throughout the twentieth century: the idea that mathematics is logic (logicism), the view that the essence of mathematics is the rule-governed manipulation of characters (formalism), and a revisionist philosophy that focuses on the mental activity of mathematics (intuitionism). Finally, Part IV brings the reader up-to-date with a look at contemporary developments within the discipline. This sweeping introductory guide to the philosophy of mathematics makes these fascinating concepts accessible to those with little background in either mathematics or philosophy.
