Chemistry, physics and biology are by their nature genuinely difficult. Mathematics, however, is man-made, and therefore not as complicated. Two ideas form the basis for this book: 1) to use ordinary mathematics to describe the simplicity in the structure of mathematics and 2) to develop new branches of mathematics to describe natural sciences. Mathematics can be described as the addition, subtraction or multiplication of planes. Using the exponential scale the authors show that the addition of planes gives the polyhedra, or any solid. The substraction of planes gives saddles. The multiplication of planes gives the general saddle equations and the multispirals. The equation of symmetry is derived, which contains the exponential scale with its functions for solids, the complex exponentials... Less

This question bank accompanies Singapore Math's sold-separately Discovering Mathematics 1A and 1B textbooks. Approximately 30 questions for each chapter are followed immediately by a detailed solution. Each question includes a suggested difficulty level of Low, Medium, or High. The exact number of question per chapter and distribution between different difficulty levels varies from chapter to chapter. This is not a student book, as the question is immediately followed by a fully worked solution. 372 pages, softcover.

Citing a dearth of educational research into mathematical creativity and mathematical giftedness, Leikin (U. of Haifa, Israel), Berman (Technion-- Israel Institute of Technology), and Koichu (Technion-- Israel Institute of Technology) have brought together 23 articles from mathematics educators, psychologists, educational researchers, mathematicians, and policy makers to share their ideas on cognitive, affective, and social factors of creativity and giftedness in mathematics. They have organized the papers into three sections: perspectives on creativity and giftedness in mathematics, psychological aspects of creativity and giftedness and educational policy, and (developing) mathematical creativity and giftedness in different educational contexts.

This book demonstrates a variety of activities that connect the various disciplines of science to the study of mathematics. Covering general, physical, chemical, earth, and life science, this book includes 40 engaging, academically rigorous, discovery-based activities that balance content with process, encouraging creative, critical thinking through a hands-on, inquiry-based approach. Activity content aligns with the national standards in both science and mathematics. For pre-service elementary and middle school math and science teachers.

From the award-winning DVD tutoring series, Getting Ahead makes math fun and easy to grasp. Imaginative stories, vivid animation, clever rhymes, catchy songs, and lovable characters help youngsters develop math comprehension, improve problem-solving skills, increase recall for better test scores, and gain confidence in schoolwork and homework assignments.

Always on the cutting-edge of mathematics teaching, the new Sixth Edition continues to integrate technology with hands-on experience and the latest research and standards. The CD packaged with this book features videos with guiding questions to analyze real teacher-student interaction in the hard-to-teach math concepts. It also includes colored patterns to download that will help readers practice hands-on manipulations as they prepare for interactive test items.

Suitable for a general studies course on mathematics, this textbook deals with the mathematics of the environment. It presents the mathematics by building patterns in numbers, arithmetic, and algebra and by using axioms as building blocks. A truly interdisciplinary study of mathematics, the text explores examples in population models, DNA computing, epidemics, financial mathematics, and more. It encourages students to use Excel spreadsheets to solve many of the open-ended problems. Along with numerous references, the book contains an appendix of solutions.

This is a softcover reprint of the 1987 English translation of the second edition of Bourbaki's Espaces Vectoriels Topologiques. Much of the material has been rearranged, rewritten, or replaced by a more up-to-date exposition, and a good deal of new material has been incorporated in this book, reflecting decades of progress in the field.

This question bank accompanies Singapore Math's sold-separately Discovering Mathematics 2A Textbook. Approximately 30 questions for each chapter are followed immediately by a detailed solution. Each question includes a suggested difficulty level of Low, Medium, or High for grading purposes. The exact number of question per chapter and distribution between different difficulty levels varies from chapter to chapter. This is not a student book, since the question is immediately followed by a fully worked solution.

The Tobey/Slater series builds essential skills one at a time by breaking the mathematics down into manageable pieces. This practical “building block” organization makes it easy for readers to understand each topic and gain confidence as they move through each section. The authors provide a “How am I Doing?” guide to give readers constant reinforcement and to ensure that they understand each concept before moving on to the next. With Tobey/Slater, readers have a tutor and study companion with them every step of the way.  Whole Numbers, Fractions, Decimals, Ratio and Proportion, Percent, Measurement, Geometry, Statistics, Signed Numbers, Introduction to Algebra, Consumer Finance Applications, Tables, Scientific Calculators.  For all readers interested in basic college mathematics.
