Topology: An Introduction with Application to Topological Groups (Phoenix Edition)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"Admirably meets the topology requirements for the pregraduate training of research mathematicians."--American Mathematical Monthly
Crucial to modern mathematics, topology is equally essential to many other disciplines, from quantum mechanics to sociology. This stimulating introduction employs the language of point set topology to define and discuss topological groups.
The text examines set-theoretic topology and its applications in function spaces, as well as homotopy and the fundamental group. This new theoretical knowledge is applied to concrete problems, such as the calculation of the fundamental group of the circle and a proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra. The abstract development concludes with the classification of topological groups by equivalence under local isomorphism.
Throughout this text, a sustained geometric development functions as a single thread of reasoning that unifies the topological course. Well-chosen exercises, along with a selection of problems in each chapter that contain interesting applications and further theory, help solidify students' working knowledge of topology and its applications.

Abstract: A working backwards method to solve algebraic equations in which students learn to "code" the equations. Coding helps to give students a starting point for solving equations. The students become more confident and successful in their solutions as they do the necessary steps in the correct order. Special needs students (LD, WD, ELL) find the 'coding' to be particularly helpful. When students are experiencing difficulty with solving equations, they can turn to "coding."

Moving Beyond Myths: Revitalizing Undergraduate Mathematics
APPENDIX
Challenges for College Mathematics: An Agenda for the Next Decade (Summary of Association of American Colleges-Mathematical Association of America Report)
Goals and Objectives
The primary goal of a mathematical sciences major should be to develop a student's capacity to undertake intellectually demanding mathematical reasoning.
The undergraduate mathematics curriculum should be designed for all students with an interest in mathematics.
Applications should motivate theory so that theory is seen by students as useful and enlightening.
Mathematics majors should be offered extensive opportunities to read, write, listen, and speak mathematical ideas at each stage of their undergraduate study.
OCR for page 55
Moving Beyond Myths: Revitalizing Undergraduate Mathematics
Breadth and Depth
All students who major in mathematics should study some sequence of upper division courses that shows the power of study in depth.
Every student who majors in mathematics should study a broad variety of advanced courses.
Mathematics departments should take seriously the need to provide appropriate mathematical depth to students who wish to concentrate in mathematics without pursuing a traditional major.
Mathematics majors should complete a minor in a discipline that makes significant use of mathematics.
Learning and Teaching
Instruction should encourage students to explore mathematical ideas on their own.
Undergraduate students should not only learn the subject of mathematics, but also learn how to learn mathematics.
Those who teach college mathematics should seek ways to incorporate into their own teaching styles the findings of research on teaching and learning.
Mathematicians should increase their efforts to understand better how college students learn mathematics.
Assessment of undergraduate majors should be aligned with broad goals of the major; tests should stress what is most important, not just what is easiest to test.
Evaluation of teaching must involve robust indicators that reflect the broad purposes of mathematics education.
Access and Encouragement
Effective programs teach students, not just mathematics.
OCR for page 55
Moving Beyond Myths: Revitalizing Undergraduate Mathematics
National need requires greater encouragement for students to continue their study of mathematics beyond the bachelor's degree.
To provide effective opportunities for all students to learn mathematics, colleges should offer a broader spectrum of instructional practice that is better attuned to the variety of students seeking higher education.
To ensure for all students equal access to higher mathematics education, mathematics departments should work with nearby two-year colleges to maintain close articulation of programs.
Smooth curricular transitions improve student learning and help maintain momentum for the study of mathematics.
Using Computers
The mathematics curriculum should change to reflect in appropriate ways the impact of computers on the practice of mathematics.
Colleges must recognize in budgets, staffing, and space the fact that undergraduate mathematics is rapidly becoming a laboratory discipline.
Doing Mathematics
Dealing with open-ended problem situations should be one of the highest priorities of undergraduate mathematics.
All undergraduate mathematics students should undertake open-ended projects whose scope extends well beyond typical textbook problems.
Undergraduate research and senior projects should be encouraged wherever there is sufficient faculty to provide appropriate supervision.
OCR for page 55
Moving Beyond Myths: Revitalizing Undergraduate Mathematics
Students majoring in mathematics should undertake some real-world mathematical modelling project.
Students
Building students' well-founded self-confidence should be a major priority for all undergraduate mathematics instruction.
Careful and individualized advising is crucial to students' success.
All mathematics students should engage in serious study of the historical context and contemporary impact of mathematics.
Mathematics departments should actively encourage extracurricular programs that enhance peer group support among mathematics majors.
Renewal
It is important for mathematics departments to help faculty and students recognize their own perspectives on mathematics and understand the perspectives of others.
To ensure continued vitality of undergraduate mathematics programs, all mathematics faculty should engage in public professional activity, broadly defined.
Regular external reviews and informal feedback are needed to assure quality in departments of mathematics.
Renewal of undergraduate mathematics will require commitment, leadership, and support of graduate schools.

Many mathematicians have been drawn to mathematics through their experience with math circles: extracurricular programs exposing teenage students to advanced mathematical topics and a myriad of problem-solving techniques and inspiring in them a lifelong love for mathematics. Founded in 1998, the Berkeley Math Circle (BMC) is a pioneering model of a U.S. math circle, aspiring to prepare our best young minds for their future roles as mathematics leaders. Over the last decade, 50 instructors - from university professors to high school teachers to business tycoons - have shared their passion for mathematics by delivering more than 320 BMC sessions full of mathematical challenges and wonders.Based on a dozen of these sessions, this book encompasses a wide variety of enticing mathematical topics: from inversion in the plane to circle geometry; from combinatorics to Rubik's cube and abstract algebra; from number theory to mass point theory; from complex numbers to game theory via invariants and monovariants. The treatments of these subjects encompass every significant method of proof and emphasize ways of thinking and reasoning via 100 problem-solving techniques.Also featured are 300 problems, ranging from beginner to intermediate level, with occasional peaks of advanced problems and even some open questions. The book presents possible paths to studying mathematics and inevitably falling in love with it, via teaching two important skills: thinking creatively while still "obeying the rules," and making connections between problems, ideas, and theories. The book encourages you to apply the newly acquired knowledge to problems and guides you along the way, but rarely gives you ready answers. "Learning from our own mistakes" often occurs through discussions of non-proofs and common problem-solving pitfalls.The reader has to commit to mastering the new theories and techniques by "getting your hands dirty" with the problems, going back and reviewing necessary problem-solving techniques and theory, and persistently moving forward in the book. The mathematical world is huge: you'll never know everything, but you'll learn where to find things, how to connect and use them. The rewards will be substantial.

Each session is written by the actual presenter or by one of the editors based on the original presentation given by a presenter to the students of the Berkeley Math Circle. The editors have done great work to edit all sessions to appear uniform in format and style. The final result is an exciting book that everyone interested seriously in mathematics should read. If you curious, the topics of the sessions are: Inversion in the plane; combinatorics; Rubick's cube; number theory; about proofs (part I and part II); mathematical induction; mass point geometry; complex numbers; games with invariants; favorite problems at BMC; monovariants.
This book is so fantastic that I can't belive it hands so many math topics but so easy to read. As a problem solving lover, I'm sure that this book is so good for other person who like problem solving and interested in math contest like math olympiad. When I was a high school student, I was eager to study math and particiated some math contest and got some math tropy. But then there were so little material to study. Now I'm a doctor but still like math-problem solving, there are so many good materials to read. Only problem solving, somtimes boring things. If you want to be a good problem solver, there must be something else. I think this book is good choice for recreation and learning problem solving skills.
Some topics are amazing like mass point geometry. Some others are fun introductions of math theory and problem solving skills.
The only thing I feel sorry is there's just Volume 1. I eargely look forward to Volume 2.

[Channel-talkalgebra] Learning Math-Algebra:Session 1
I just wanted to share that I am beginning to realize
that while I thought I was preparing my students for
understanding Algebra and Algebraic concepts, I now
realize that I should be taking a different approach
or at least modifying it. The activities that are in
this session are great for getting students to think
algebraically without calling it Algebra. That word
scares students and they freeze up not knowing what to
do--even when they really are quite capable of
completing whatever task they have been given. I have
tried to prepare students for Algebra by emphasizing
properties and rules as well as vocabulary, but this
session emphasizes the need to look at problems
conceptually and analyze/manipulate the info. given
and deciding what should be applied to the problem as
well as how to use it to find definate or possible
solutions to the problems. I like all the discussion
that takes place in the "classroom". The emphasis is
not generally on who or what is right but on how and
why certain conclusions or answers were arrived
at/given. This causes students to think about what
they are doing and why so they can begin to see
connections and concepts instead of just right and
wrong answers.
This is especially good for me to see/be reminded of
because I tend to be a perfectionist/workaholic in a
sense and that is passed on to what I expect of my
students at times.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews
As one might expect from a 3-volume history, _Mathematical Thought_ is comprehensive; Kline covers basically all the important mathematical developments from ancient times (e.g. the Babylonians) until about 1930. Note that (as Klein himself mentions) the coverage of ancient mathematics, while taking up a good half of the first volume, is necessarily modest, and if that is the reader's primary interest, s/he would do best to seek out specific histories on the Greeks, Chinese, etc. [Kline gives several useful references, as always]. The reader interested in the 18th and 19th centuries will find plenty of food for thought. For example, the story of non-Euclidean geometry is covered well, and Kline does a good job of putting the discoveries in the light of the times. One notable thing I learned is that Lobachevsky and Bolyai were not the discoverers of non-Euclidean geometry, nor were they the first to publish material on that subject. Others before had expressed the opinion that non-Euclidean gometry was consistent and as viable a geometry as Euclidean (e.g. Kluegel, Lambert...even Gauss!) It remained for Beltrami to later show that if Euclidean geometry were consistent, so is non-Euclidean. Of course, important events like the invention of Galois theory are also mentioned. Really, if it's a major mathematical development before 1930, Kline will have it somewhere in these 3-volumes. Incidentally, Kline advances the interesting theory that Lobachevsky and Bolyai somehow learned of Gauss' work on non-Euclidean geometry (which he kept secret and was not learned of until after his death) through close friends of Gauss: Bartel (mentor to Lobachevsky) and Bolyai's father, Farkas.Read more ›
The only reader I think Kline's book would be right for is one who wants a single source for the history of mathematics and who is not willing to use more specialized books. I have had Kline's history for years and I sometimes look something up in it, am disappointed by his presentation, and then look for the topic in another book.
For a reader who wants an accessible and reliable general history of mathematics I recommend Victor Katz's "A History of Mathematics". Kline covers European mathematics in more detail than Katz does, but Katz is a better one volume work, and I suggest that anyone who wants more detail than what Katz gives should use one of the following references instead of turning to Kline.
The two volume "Abrégé d'histoire des mathématiques" edited and partially written by Dieudonne, Moritz Cantor's "Vorlesungen über Geschichte der Mathematik", and the two volume "Companion Encyclopedia" edited by Ivor Grattan-Guinness are all reliable and cover in detail much material. Dieudonne's Histoire is not comprehensive, but it is excellent for the material it does cover, mostly in function theory and the theory of numbers.
For a mathematically knowledgeable reader who wants a structural history of certain parts of mathematics, I recommend Bourbaki's "Elements of the History of Mathematics". That book however is not meant to be a comprehensive history of mathematics, and really should be thought of as a history of the parts of mathematics that interested Bourbaki, written from their point of view. It is however reliable and specific in its details.
For the history of Greek mathematics one cannot do better than to read Heath's books and translations.Read more ›
if flawed. Not only do you have to wade through the gentleman amateur flavour of the first couple of hundred pages or so, but Kline manages to describe William Hamilton as 'the greatest English theoretical physicist after Newton'; even an Irishman would concede that the greatest English theoretical physicist after Newton was Maxwell - Hamilton was third. However with the first impact tremors announcing the approach of Leonard Euler, when the technical issues start to thicken, things improve enormously. Kline is clearly in awe of Euler, and does a good job of communicating why awe is appropriate.
It is nevertheless fortunate that the history of mathematics, unlike that of science, is a discipline essentially invulnerable to whiggish prejudice.

Teaching Mathematics in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program—Are You Prepared?
by Margaret Langfield October 2000
Many preservice mathematics teachers in Canada and the United States do not know all the mathematics needed to teach in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program. All four mathematics options (mathematics higher level, advanced mathematics standard level, mathematical studies, and mathematical methods) in the program require a broad range of mathematical topics—some core and some teacher chosen. Common to all are number, algebra, functions, geometry, trigonometry, probability, and statistics.
The two syllabi chosen by the majority of students include such other topics as sets, logic, two-dimensional vector geometry, financial mathematics, and some calculus. An IB teacher must have a ready knowledge of these topics; in addition, for the optional topics, the teacher must know more calculus, some matrices and graph theory, and statistical methods. The two upper levels of the IB program (mathematics higher level and advanced mathematics standard level) require three-dimensional vector geometry, complex numbers, analysis, and yet more calculus, probability, and statistics. Three of the syllabi require that students use a graphing calculator. From a mathematical standpoint, most prospective secondary teachers simply have not had this much mathematics in the undergraduate programs required for teacher certification.
In addition to mathematical knowledge, prospective teachers of IB mathematics need to "be able to represent mathematics as a coherent and connected enterprise" (NCTM 2000, p. 17). The external-assessment component of an IB program poses creative questions requiring both teachers and students to see connections and draw on their knowledge in many areas; the IB mathematics classroom affords many opportunities for this type of assessment to be practiced. Too many undergraduates regard mathematics as a static subject with a set of algorithms to be applied unthinkingly to known problems. The intent of the IB program is that "students must learn mathematics with understanding, actively building new knowledge from experience and prior knowledge" (NCTM 2000, p. 20). Prospective IB teachers must be capable of developing and fostering classrooms where students can use their imagination, skills, and knowledge to explore new situations with confidence and with the expectation of success. From their mathematical experiences, students should understand the importance of rigor and communication, and they should appreciate the power of mathematics and mathematical reasoning. Few teacher-preparation programs educate prospective teachers in this manner (NCTM 2000, p.17).
For the internal-assessment component of the IB mathematics program, which is either a project or portfolio-type assignments, a student must spend time on extended problems. The students have opportunities to explore new topics, apply knowledge, make conjectures, construct mathematical models, pursue particular interests, use technology, and write both well and meaningfully about mathematics. An IB teacher must have had experience in these types of things, as well as experience in using criterion-referenced assessment to evaluate these activities.
Typical prospective IB teachers have energy, stamina, perseverance, the courage to move away from standard textbooks, and the ability to draw on many resources while constructing the needed activities for their IB students. In their undergraduate mathematics preparation for teaching, they should have developed confidence in a coherent, unified body of knowledge and should be able to share this with students. Until teacher-preparation programs change, few first-year teachers are prepared for IB teaching. They need more mathematics and the training offered by the International Baccalaureate Organisation.

This is the second worst class I have had at UNM. This teacher is not helpful at all. He gets upset when the students don't understand. I've learned more from tutors than I have in class. The homework is unnecessarily difficult and long. He expects you to know things that weren't covered in pre-req classes. I would not recommend him at all.
Alex is an intimidating guy who has a very math oriented sense of humor. His Math 314 course is very theory based, but give plenty of homework to make sure you understand. His grading policy is very kind. It is one minus 1 point for late assignments, and allow you to retake test and quizes for only 10% off if he sees you are working hard.
He is very helpful in office hours if you can make them. Class however he teaches right out of the book and will skip examples and just go over theory. This makes going to class pointless because you can just read the material yourself.
Challenges students to learn but very helpful if he sees you are working to understand. Fast paced lecture so there is much reliance on office hours. Many students go to the office hours so be patient and be ready. He does not require attendance but absentees don't get as much help (unless they are already acing the class).

Description
This edition features the exact same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole- punched, loose-leaf version. Books a la Carte also offer a great value—this format costs significantly less than a new textbook.
The Rockswold/Krieger algebra series fosters conceptual understanding by using relevant applications and visualization to show students why math matters. It answers the common question "When will I ever use this?" Rockswold teaches students the math in context, rather than including the applications at the end of the presentation. By seamlessly integrating meaningful applications that include real data and supporting visuals (graphs, tables, charts, colors, and diagrams), students are able to see how math impacts their lives as they learn the concepts. The authors believe this approach deepens conceptual understanding and better prepares students for future math courses and life.

From the Inside Flap
PREFACE ABOUT THE BOOK
Beginning Algebra, Third Edition was written to provide a solid foundation in algebra for students who might have had no previous experience in algebra. Specific care has been taken to ensure that students have the most up-to-date and relevant text preparation for their next mathematics course, as well as to help students to succeed in nonmathematical courses that require a grasp of algebraic fundamentals. I have tried to achieve this by writing a user-friendly text that is keyed to objectives and contains many worked-out examples. The basic concepts of graphing are introduced early, and problem solving techniques, real-life and real-data applications, data interpretation, appropriate use of technology, mental mathematics, number sense, critical thinking, decision-making, and geometric concepts are emphasized and integrated throughout the book..
The many factors that contributed to the success of the first two editions have been retained. In preparing this edition, I considered the comments and suggestions of colleagues throughout the country, students, and many users of the prior editions. The AMATYC Crossroads in Mathematics: Standards for Introductory College Mathematics before Calculus and the MAA and NCTM standards (plus Addenda), together with advances in technology, also influenced the writing of this text.
Beginning Algebra, Third Edition is part of a series of texts that can include Basic College Mathematics, Prealgebra, Third Edition, Intermediate Algebra, Third Edition, or Intermediate Algebra: A Graphing Approach, Second Edition, and Beginning and Intermediate Algebra, Second Edition, a combined algebra text. Throughout the series, pedagogical features are designed to develop student proficiency in algebra and problem solving, and to prepare students for future courses. KEY PEDAGOGICAL FEATURES IN THE THIRD EDITION
Readability and Connections. I have tried to make the writing style as clear as possible while still retaining the mathematical integrity of the content. When a new topic is presented, an effort has been made to relate the new ideas to those that students may already know. Constant reinforcement and connections within problem solving strategies, data interpretation, geometry, patterns, graphs, and situations from everyday life can help students gradually master both new and old information.
Problem Solving Process. This is formally introduced in Chapter 2 with a new four-step process that is integrated throughout the text. The four steps are Understand, Translate, Solve, and Interpret. The repeated use of these steps throughout the text in a variety of examples shows their wide applicability. Reinforcing the steps can increase students' confidence in tackling problems.
Applications and Connections. Every effort was made to include as many accessible, interesting, and relevant real-life applications as possible throughout the text in both worked-out examples and exercise sets. The applications strengthen students' understanding of mathematics in the real world and help to motivate students. They show connections to a wide range of fields including agriculture, allied health, art, astronomy, automotive ownership, aviation, biology, business, chemistry, communication, computer technology, construction, consumer affairs, demographics, earth science, education, entertainment, environmental issues, finance and economics, food service, geography, government, history, hobbies, labor and career issues, life science, medicine, music, nutrition, physics, political science, population, recreation, sports, technology, transportation, travel, weather, and important related mathematical areas such as geometry and statistics. (See the Index of Applications on page xxi.) Many of the applications are based on recent and interesting real-life data. Sources for data include newspapers, magazines, government publications, publicly held companies, special interest groups, research organizations, and reference books. Opportunities for obtaining your own real data are also included.
Helpful Hints. Helpful Hints, formerly Reminders, contain practical advice on applying mathematical concepts. These are found throughout the text and strategically placed where students are most likely to need immediate reinforcement. They are highlighted in a box for quick reference and, as appropriate, an indicator line is used to precisely identify the particular part of a problem or concept being discussed. For instance, see pages 96 and 408.
Visual Reinforcement of Concepts. The text contains numerous graphics, models, and illustrations to visually clarify and reinforce concepts. These include new and updated bar graphs, circle graphs in two and three dimensions, line graphs, calculator screens, application illustrations, photographs, and geometric figures. There are now over 1,000 figures.
Real World Chapter Openers. The new two-page chapter opener focuses on how math is used in a specific career, provides links to the World Wide Web, and references a "Spotlight on Decision Making" feature within the chapter for further exploration of the career and the relevance of algebra. For example, look at the opener for Chapter 8. The opening pages also contain a list of section titles, and an introduction to the mathematics to be studied together with mathematical connections to previous chapters in the text.
Student Resource Icons. At the beginning of each section, videotape, tutorial software CD Rom, Student Solutions Manual, and Study Guide icons are displayed. These icons help reinforce that these learning aids are available should students wish to use them to review concepts and skills at their own pace. These items have direct correlation to the text and emphasize the text's methods of solution.
Chapter Highlights. Found at the end of each chapter, the Chapter Highlights contain key definitions, concepts, and examples to help students understand and retain what they have learned.
Chapter Project. This feature occurs at the end of each chapter, often serving as a chapter wrap-up. For individual or group completion, the multi-part Chapter Project, usually hands-on or data based, allows students to problem solve, make interpretations, and to think and write about algebra.
Functional Use of Color and New Design. Elements of this text are highlighted with color or design to make it easier for students to read and study. Special care has been taken to use color within solutions to examples or in the art to help clarify, distinguish, or connect concepts. For example, look at pages 190 and 191 in Section 3.4. EXERCISE SETS
Each text section ends with an exercise set, usually divided into two parts. Both parts contain graded exercises. The first part is carefully keyed to at least one worked example in the text. Once a student has gained confidence in a skill, the second part contains exercises not keyed to examples. Exercises and examples marked with a video icon have been worked out step-by-step by the author in the videos that accompany this text.
Throughout the text exercises there is an emphasis on data and graphical interpretation via tables, charts, and graphs. The ability to interpret data and read and create a variety of types of graphs is developed gradually so students become comfortable with it. Similarly, throughout the text there is integration of geometric concepts, such as perimeter and area. Exercises and examples marked with a geometry icon have been identified for convenience.
Each exercise set contains one or more of the following features.
Spotlight on Decision Making. These unique new, specially designed applications help students develop their decision-making and problem solving abilities, skills useful in mathematics and in life. Appropriately placed before an exercise set begins, students have an opportunity to immediately practice and reinforce basic algebraic concepts found in the accompanying section in relevant, accessible contexts. There is an emphasis on workplace or job-related career situations (such as the decisions of a small business owner in Section 3.1, a physical therapist in Section 7.2, or a registered nurse in Section 8.5) as well as decision-making in general (such as choosing a homeowner's insurance policy in Section 2.8 or choosing a credit card in Section 5.5 or deciding when to plant flower bulbs in Section 10.6).
Mental Mathematics. These problems are found at the beginning of many exercise sets. They are mental warm-ups that reinforce concepts found in the accompanying section and increase students' confidence before they tackle an exercise set. By relying on their own mental skills, students increase not only their confidence in themselves, but also their number sense and estimation ability.
Writing Exercises. These exercises now found in almost every exercise set are marked with the pencil icon. They require students to assimilate information and provide a written response to explain concepts or justify their thinking. Guidelines recommended by the American Mathematical Associati

Most Helpful Customer Reviews
this book is very good with the information, but it does NOT have any of the problems! Amazon should have made it very clear that one would have to buy the MyMathLab to get problems for homework. Very unhappy about what I got from the information provided!
I am taking math this semester and this is the required text. The bad thing about this book is that it has crappy examples.I was afraid to miss a class because if I did, I would not understand the material. The instructor teaching the class explains the material much better. This book is a big waste of money. If I could, I would give this book zero stars.
This book was required for my math instruction, and as several readers have mentioned before, I am glad that the instructor was an excellent teacher the book by itself is no use. Unless you understand math to begin with.
Why would the book be titled MyMathLab Edition and not contain the mymathlab kit? This was very misleading. I am unhappy and will probably never buy from this company or recommend it to anyone. They should make it clear that this book does not contain the code needed for mymathlab.
This book was the required book for my college class. It is nothing short of pure torture. Thank God my professor is excellent!! The examples in this book are very hard to interpret and the problems are not much good either. Also, the answers to the chapter problems in the back of the book contain only the odd-numbered problems. Good luck!
This book supports students by offering examples that are clear and easy to understand. I enjoyed using this text as it offered students the opportunity to successfully solve challenging exercises. Math textbooks are extremely difficult to read and interpret. Martin-Gay took her book to a level of simplicity that most math texts simply don't have.

Pre-Algebra, Algebra-1, Algebra-2
Once I heard a student remark "I get it when they have x and y in a equation; but when they add a, b and c, not sure what is going on!!" Trust me over 45% students abhor algebra because of its bad reputation of an abstruse math topic that combines alphabets
and numerals. However, once they start appreciating the need and the value of a variable (the unknown!) or variables, their algebra journey takes a fascinating twist!
Besides that lingering algebra fear in many, I have also seen parents getting confused with the various kinds of algebra topics their kids have to go through. Advanced students cover higher algebra earlier while others follow the prescribed level or a lower
level algebra. So, I think a good list of topics involved in various algebra courses may be of great help to most of us, if not all. It may also help you know where your son or daughter is on the algebra route.
As a tutor and a father of a 9th grade daughter and a 4th grade son, I cannot stress enough the need to build a solid foundation of algebraic concepts. If you are a student who needs help with any algebra topic or a parent looking for assistance, you can
reach me out by visiting my WyzAnt profile. Algebra is so profound and enriching - once you get involved, you just stay involved!
NOTE - I collected this information by visiting various websites outlining the courses and topics covered in Pre-Algebra, Algebra-1 and Algebra-2 -- this is just a brief "compilation" and is not guaranteed to list out EVERY single topic that may be covered
under those courses. However, it should give you a fair assessment of the nature of topics covered.

About the book:
A beautiful and relatively elementary account of a part of mathematics where three main fields - algebra, analysis and geometry - meet. The book provides a broad view of these subjects at the level of calculus, without being a calculus book. Its roots are in arithmetic and geometry, the two opposite poles of mathematics, and the source of historic conceptual conflict. The resolution of this conflict, and its role in the development of mathematics, is one of the main stories in the book. Stillwell has chosen an array of exciting and worthwhile topics and elegantly combines mathematical history with mathematics. He covers the main ideas of Euclid, but with 2000 years of extra insights attached. Presupposing only high school algebra, it can be read by any well prepared student entering university. Moreover, this book will be popular with graduate students and researchers in mathematics due to its attractive and unusual treatment of fundamental topics. A set of well-written exercises at the end of each section allows new ideas to be instantly tested and reinforced.

According to OER Commons, "Crossroads in Mathematics: Standards for Introductory College Mathematics Before Calculus has two major goals: to improve mathematics education at two-year colleges and at the lower division of four-year colleges and universities and to encourage more students to study mathematics. The document presents standards that are intended to revitalize the mathematics curriculum preceding calculus and to stimulate changes in instructional methods so that students will be engaged as active learners in worthwhile mathematical tasks. Preparation of these standards has been guided by the principle that faculty must help their students think critically, learn how to learn, and find motivation for the study of mathematics in appreciation of its power and usefulness' (direct from website). Users can access all chapters of the book as well as the Illinois Mathematics Association of Community Colleges is today a greater awareness that elementary mathematics is rich in important ideas and that its instruction requires far more than simply knowing the "math facts" and a handful of algorithms. Mathematics courses for teachers must reflect the intellectual depth and challenge of the elementary school curriculum. The Conference Board of Mathematical Sciences (CBMS) recommends that the preparation of mathematics teachers include courses that develop a "deep understanding of the mathematics they teach," that are designed to "develop careful reasoning and 'common sense' in analyzing conceptual relationships, . . . that develop the habits of mind of a mathematical thinker and that demonstrate flexible, interactive styles of teaching" (CBMS, 2000, pp. 7-8). Judy Sowder, Larry Sowder, and Susan Nickerson recognize and accept the challenge of presenting mathematics to teachers in a manner that addresses these recommendations. In doing so they provide instruction that will lead teachers of mathematics to "reconceptualize" the mathematics they often think they already know, thus allowing them to develop a deeper understanding of the mathematics they will teach. The authors believe that teachers must know mathematics differently than most people do. Teachers need to know the mathematics they teach in a way that allows them to hold conversations about mathematical ideas and mathematical thinking with their students. A persistent pursuit of explanation is a hallmark of a classroom in which learning is taking place. A common axiom is that teachers teach the way they were taught. Prospective teachers are unlikely to demonstrate flexible, interactive styles of teaching unless they have experienced mathematics taught this way. Instructors of the "Reconceptualizing Mathematics" courses, however, may not have experienced such instruction themselves. Thus the authors provide many forms of instructional assistance to help instructors better understand the mathematics their prospective teachers need to know, to begin to model teaching strategies that these prospective teachers will be expected to use in their own classrooms, and to assist them in many ways throughout the course.'

Calculus is a coherent set of ideas that describe changes using mathematics. Although symbolic manipulation
is not the central idea of the course, it is the language in which we describe mathematical ideas and a powerful
set of tools that we use to answer questions that interest us. Essentially, symbolic representation and manipulations
are the grammar rules that allow us to speak the language of calculus. It is imperative that you obtain sufficient
facility with symbolic manipulation so that the manipulations themselves do not form a barrier between you and
the ideas they represent.
The differentiation gateway exam is a purely computational exam, designed to make sure that you are obtaining the analytical
(grammatical) skills that are required to do calculus. The gateway exam will be given after we have covered the
essential rules of differentiation, and will consist of seven problems that test your ability to apply these rules correctly.
To pass the gateway exam, you must present flawless solutions to all seven problems. A single error causes failure. The gateway exam is worth 10% of your final course grade.
Since perfect solutions are required, a reasonable number of retakes of the gateway exam are permitted according
to the following guidelines.
Gateway Exam Guidelines:
Retakes will be of similar format to the first gateway exam, but will consist of different (but similar) problems.
A student may take at most 1 retake in any given day. No student
may retake the gateway exam after 5 PM on the last day of class.
A student who passes the gateway exam on his/her first attempt will receive 12 points out of 10 (i.e. 20% bonus).
A student who passes a retake within two weeks after the gateway exam is first given will receive full credit
(10 pts).
A student who passes a retake after more than two weeks have passed since the first gateway exam was given
will receive 5 points out of 10 (i.e. half credit).
A student who fails to pass the gateway exam on all attempts will receive no credit on this part of the course.

We used four other math curricula in the course of 15 years of homeschooling. I looked at Saxon Math when our oldest was in the 5th grade and didn't think I could do it. I was wrong. After years of struggling with other math programs I made the switch for our two smallest in 1st grade. We have used the Saxon Math for three years now and it has made a big difference in how we look at Math. I would highly recommend this curriculum. There is no DVD from Saxon for k-3, but starting in 4/5 you can purchase one. There is a company called Destination Math that has an online program that runs right with the Saxon Math. Just for the record, Math was not my best subject when I was in school. So those first years of teaching were a struggle for me to try to teach something I had a hard time understanding. Saxon Math has helped me while I have been teaching. It's very easy to follow and one of the few subjects that I actually follow very closely by the teacher's book.

FAQs: What Math Do I Need?
Most programs of study at FTCC require students to take at least one math class. Students
follow the requirements of their curriculum program in choosing which math course(s)
to take. Beginning in Fall 2014 the Mathematics Department will offer three new courses,
replacing MAT 115, MAT 140/140A, MAT 161/161A, and MAT 151/151A. Students whose program
requirements list one of the old courses will need to consult their program advisors
to determine which new course to take in its place. You may find the following chart
helpful:
The new math courses were designed by the state as part of a Curriculum Improvement
Project and will be offered by all North Carolina Community Colleges.
MAT 110 Math Measurement & Literacy
MAT 110 is a non-transfer course that covers topics of mathematical literacy including
unit conversions and estimation within various measurement systems, basic geometric
measurements, reading and interpreting charts and graphs of data, statistical measures,
and personal finance. To take MAT 110, a student must have credit for DMA 010, 020,
and 030 either by admissions placement, testing, or completing these three developmental
mathematics modules.
MAT 143 Quantitative Literacy
MAT 143 is approved for transfer as a Universal General Education Transfer Component
(UGETC) course. It focuses on providing students with the tools needed to decode,
interpret, analyze, communicate, and make decisions using a wide variety of quantitative
information encountered in the media and in everyday life. The prerequisites for taking
MAT 143 are DMA 010, DMA 020, DMA 030, DMA 040, DMA 050, and DRE 098. The DMA courses
are developmental mathematics modules. DRE 098 is the third in a series of integrated
reading and writing courses offered by Developmental English.
MAT 152 Statistical Methods I
MAT 152, Statistical Methods I, is also a UGETC course. It generally covers the same
statistical concepts that were covered in MAT 151, but provides a project-based approach
with an emphasis on using real and current data. Students seeking to take MAT 152
must have credit for DMA 010, DMA 020, DMA 030, DMA 040, and DMA 050, as well as DRE
098.
Another change coming Fall 2014 affects MAT 171 and 172, the Precalculus sequence.
Students will no longer be required to register for a separate lab section when taking
these courses.
In addition to the new courses discussed above and the Precalculus sequence, the Mathematics
Department continues to offer a three-course sequence in Calculus, a one-semester
Applied Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations. To prepare for coursework
in curriculum programs the department offers Developmental Mathematics, listed under
the DMA and DMS prefixes in the college catalog and registration tabloids.

Use a multi-representational approach to help teachers look at problems analytically, graphically, numerically and verbally
Ms. Lena Walkerhas taught mathematics for 20 plus years, and is currently teaching Pre-AP Math at KIPP Reach College Preparatory Middle School in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She has participated in vertical alignment and curriculum writing for Pre-AP Mathematics. Lena has presented at AP Summer Institutes for the College Board, at College Board Pre-AP Math Technology Conferences, and at the College Board Pre-AP two-day conferences. Ms. Walker teaches at a 2012 Blue Ribbon School. She holds a BS in Education from Northeastern State University of Oklahoma.
II. AP Calculus BC (1013)
The singular focus of this workshop will be to examine, discuss, and analyze the topics that are particular to the BC syllabus. Essentially, this consists of a thorough examination of sequences and series, as well as certain topics--parametric equations, polar areas, arc length and vectors--that can be thought of as extensions of the AB curriculum. Extensive use will be made of problems from previous BC exams. We will examine procedures by which the exam is graded, and end the workshop with a vigorous analysis of the BC exams from 2013 and 2014.
If you have a reasonably good working knowledge of the AB program, will be teaching BC in the near future, or have taught BC for a few years and want to get on the "other side of the desk," you are an ideal candidate for this workshop.
Mr. Joe Cronhas taught secondary school mathematics for 43 years. His career has taken him from Bronx, NY (three years), to Bayonne, NJ (two years), and finally to Fairfield, CT (38 years). He began teaching AP Calculus in the early 70's, and in 1996 began teaching AP Statistics in preparation for the very first AP Statistics exam in 1997. Joe also taught Multivariable Calculus during his tenure in Fairfield. In order to eliminate any free time that he might have had, Joe also coached basketball and golf!
Mr. Cron has served as a consultant for the New England Regional Office of the College Board since the early 80's, giving workshops during the school year in both AP Calculus and AP Statistics; he has also served as a reader for both exams. Over 25 summer, Joe has led week-lone AB and BC Calculus workshops at Taft School in Watertown, CT, and has presented at the Annual AP Conferences in Las Vegas, Orlando, and San Francisco. At present, Joe serves as an adjunct faculty member in mathematics at Fairfield University.
Joe has promised not to wear his New York Mets jersey to any of the workshop sessions.

6.02 Fall 2014: Practice Problems and Past Quizzes
The following practice problems and quizzes from past semesters should
be helpful in gelling the concepts taught in the lectures,
recitations, and 6.02 chapters. They will be useful preparation for
the problem sets and quizzes. Please note that the organization of
this term's course and some of the materials are different from
previous terms, so the past quizzes do not map one-to-one to this
semester's organization, and may include items not taught this
semester. Also, since this course (like most good courses) evolves,
it is likely that this semester emphasizes some topics differently,
and includes some new topics.
In addition to these review/practice problems, it is important to
solve the problems in the problem sets assigned through the term, as
well as those at the end of the chapters in the readings (for those
lectures that have assigned readings).
Part 1 (Bits): Practice Problems
Some online practice problems (most of these overlap with those at the
end of the book chapters).

Overview
Guides readers through the development of geometry and basic proof writing using a historical approach to the topic
In an effort to fully appreciate the logic and structure of geometric proofs, Revolutions of Geometry places proofs into the context of geometry's history, helping readers to understand that proof writing is crucial to the job of a mathematician. Written for students and educators of mathematics alike, the book guides readers through the rich history and influential works, from ancient times to the present, behind the development of geometry. As a result, readers are successfully equipped with the necessary logic to develop a full understanding of geometric theorems.
Following a presentation of the geometry of ancient Egypt, Babylon, and China, the author addresses mathematical philosophy and logic within the context of works by Thales, Plato, and Aristotle. Next, the mathematics of the classical Greeks is discussed, incorporating the teachings of Pythagoras and his followers along with an overview of lower-level geometry using Euclid's Elements. Subsequent chapters explore the work of Archimedes, Viete's revolutionary contributions to algebra, Descartes' merging of algebra and geometry to solve the Pappus problem, and Desargues' development of projective geometry. The author also supplies an excursion into non-Euclidean geometry, including the three hypotheses of Saccheri and Lambert and the near simultaneous discoveries of Lobachevski and Bolyai. Finally, modern geometry is addressed within the study of manifolds and elliptic geometry inspired by Riemann's work, Poncelet's return to projective geometry, and Klein's use of group theory to characterize different geometries.
The book promotes the belief that in order to learn how to write proofs, one needs to read finished proofs, studying both their logic and grammar. Each chapter features a concise introduction to the presented topic, and chapter sections conclude with exercises that are designed to reinforce the material and provide readers with ample practice in writing proofs. In addition, the overall presentation of topics in the book is in chronological order, helping readers appreciate the relevance of geometry within the historical development of mathematics.
Well organized and clearly written, Revolutions of Geometry is a valuable book for courses on modern geometry and the history of mathematics at the upper-undergraduate level. It is also a valuable reference for educators in the field

The use of standards-based grading in American public schools is increasing, offering students, parents, and teachers a new way of measuring and communicating about student achievement and performance. Parents indicate an appreciation for this method of grading, and students at the elementary grades (K-6) have improved standardized test scores in reading and math as a result of its implementation. This study seeks to determine whether standards-based grading has the same effect on students at the high school level (grades 9-12) by comparing end-of-course test scores and posttest scores of Algebra 2 students enrolled in a standards-based graded classroom with to ...Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)
It is shown under very general conditions that the solutions of equations depend continuously on the coefficients or parameters of the equations.

The derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety is an important object of study in algebraic geometry. One important device relevant for this study is the notion of tilting sheaf.
This thesis is concerned with the existence of tilting sheaves on some smooth projective varieties. The main technique we use in this thesis is Galois descent theory. We first construct tilting bundles on general Brauer-Severi varieties. Our main result shows the existence of tilting bundles on some Brauer-Severi schemes. As an application, we prove that there are tilting bundles on an arithmetic toric variety whose toric variety ...

A common question in comparing two sets of measurements is whether to use a parametric testing procedure or a non-parametric procedure. The question is even more important in dealing with smaller samples. Here, using simulation, several parametric and nonparametric tests, such as, t-test, Normal test, Wilcoxon Rank Sum test, van-der Waerden Score test, and Exponential Score test are compared.
On Sign-Solvable Linear Systems And Their Applications In Economics, Eric Hanson
Journal of Undergraduate Research at Minnesota State University, Mankato
Sign-solvable linear systems are part of a branch of mathematics called qualitative matrix theory. Qualitative matrix theory is a development of matrix theory based on the sign (¡; 0; +) of the entries of a matrix. Sign-solvable linear systems are useful in analyzing situations in which quantitative data is unknown or had to measure, but qualitative information is known. These situations arise frequently in a variety of disciplines outside of mathematics, including economics and biology. The applications of sign-solvable linear systems in economics are documented and the development of new examples is formalized mathematically. Additionally, recent mathematical developments about sign-solvable linear systems ...

Some basic properties related to our general pattern such as their recursive relations and generating functions are discussed. Some asymptotic expansions for the generalized Stirling functions and generalized Stirling numbers are established ...

Polynomial Identities On Algebras With Actions, Chris Plyley
University of Western Ontario - Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
When an algebra is endowed with the additional structure of an action or a grading, one can often make striking conclusions about the algebra based on the properties of the structure-induced subspaces. For example, if A is an associative G-graded algebra such that the homogeneous component A1 satisfies an identity of degree d, then Bergen and Cohen showed that A is itself a PI-algebra. Bahturin, Giambruno and Riley later used combinatorial methods to show that the degree of the identity satisfied by A is bounded above by a function of d and |G|. Utilizing a similar approach, we ...We investigate two algebraic properties of Ext-modules over a complete intersection R of codimension c. Given an R-module M, Ext(M,k) can be viewed as a graded module over a polynomial ring in c variables with an action given by the Eisenbud operators. We provide an upper bound on the degrees of the generators of this graded module in terms of the regularities of two associated coherent sheaves. In the codimension two case, our bound recovers a bound of Avramov and Buchweitz in terms of the Betti numbers of M. We also provide a description of the differential graded ...Reasoning & Proof In The Hs Common Core, Laurie O. Cavey

Ghost Number Of Group Algebras, Gaohong Wang
University of Western Ontario - Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The generating hypothesis for the stable module category of a finite group is the statement that if a map in the thick subcategory generated by the trivial representation induces the zero map in Tate cohomology, then it is stably trivial. It is known that the generating hypothesis fails for most groups. Generalizing work done for p-groups, we define the ghost number of a group algebra, which is a natural number that measures the degree to which the generating hypothesis fails. We describe a close relationship between ghost numbers and Auslander-Reiten triangles, with many results stated for a general projective class ...

Compressive sampling (CoSa) is a new methodology which demonstrates that sparse signals can be recovered from a small number of linear measurements. Greedy algorithms like CoSaMP have been designed for this recovery, and variants of these methods have been adapted to the case where sparsity is with respect to some arbitrary dictionary rather than an orthonormal basis. In this work we present an analysis of the so-called Signal Space CoSaMP method when the measurements are corrupted with mean-zero white Gaussian noise. We establish near-oracle performance for recovery of signals sparse in some arbitrary dictionary. In addition, we analyze the block ...

teaching of mathematics has undergone extensive changes in approach, with a shift in emphasis from rote memorization to acquiring an understanding of the logical foundations and methodology of problem solving. This book offers guidance in that direction, exploring arithmetic's underlying concepts and their logical development.This volume's great merit lies in its wealth of explanatory material, designed to promote an informal and intuitive understanding of the rigorous logical approach to the number system. The first part explains and comments on axioms and definitions, making their subsequent treatment more coherent. The second part presents a detailed, systematic construction of the number systems of rational, real, and complex numbers. It covers whole numbers, hemigroups and groups, integers, ordered fields, the order relation for rationals, exponentiation, and real and complex numbers. Every step is justified by a reference to the appropriate theorem or lemma. Exercises following each chapter in Part II help readers test their progress and provide practice in using the relevant concepts.

I hope you don't feel discouraged by some of the replies here. Algebra usually refers to a much broader field of mathematics than what you have been exposed to, and some people are probably put off by what feels like a tone of arrogance in your post. Asking us for the most difficult algebraic topic we know makes it hard to resist splashing some water at you...
None of us are going to be impressed by not studying much, since we all understand that there comes a point when a math student has to study constantly in order to get anywhere. People reach this point at different levels, and the discipline required to keep moving through such difficulties is more important than how well one did in high school algebra. (In math, but in life too...)
It may be hard for you to explain algebra to those who didn't find it intuitive as you did. I would encourage you to try, since it will help you see how much you "understand" and how much you only know on a computational / algorithmic level. For instance, why not try to give a clear explanation of the rational root theorem? Or the various tests for singularity of a matrix?

What is Mathematica? It's a powerful symbolic numerical, and graphical
computer algebra system. It's a word processor with live mathematical
content. It's the hottest thing to come along since the slide
rule. And I drew these four cool pictures in Mathematica using
3D trigonometry!
I've been involved with Mathematica since 1988, when
I tested the pre-release beta version 0.9 on a NeXT cube, at
the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI, or "misery")
above UC Berkeley. At that time it was buggy (reporting that
the integral of 1/x from -2 to 2 was 0).
The following year, in 1989, I convinced the college
(DVC) to purchase a working copy of Mathematica (then in version
1.2) to run on our Macintosh SE, which had to be upgraded to
4 MB of RAM to handle the task.
From 1989 to 1991 I attended
many workshops, in Maple, Derive, Theorist, and Mathematica,
finally settling on the latter as my weapon of choice. Special
thanks to Wade Ellis, Jr. of West Valley College for this timespan.
[ top of page ]
In the Summer of 1992 there
were eight intensive, one-week workshops given in various
software packages, including the above. I attended one in Los
Angeles and wrote what evolved into Precalculus and Mathematica,
a series of interactive notebooks from beginning algebra and
functions through trig. Thanks to Bill Davis and Alan deGuzman
for their excellent workshops at LA Pierce College and Dearborn,
Michigan.
I was then chosen as one
of eight national developers for the Interactive Mathematics
Text Project (IMTP), under a grant by NSF, MAA, and IBM.
I made presentations at the developers conferences at University
of Michigan (1994), St. Louis, Mo. (1995) and at the Joint National
Mathematics Meetings at Orlando, Fla (1996).
More recently I have given
regular workshops at DVC: "Using
Mathematica Is Easy"
(for students) part of the College Success Workshops,
and Instructional Flex Workshops (for teachers in the
3-college district).
In April 1998 I gave
a talk at the Lake Tahoe Recreational Math Conference,
"See It and Hear
It in Mathematica"
about using all the senses to experience math. I expanded this
talk for an August 1998 Flex Workshop for District Faculty,
and revised the talk for the CMC^3 conference in Monterey
in early December 1998. In May 2001, I revisited
the Lake Tahoe Conference with a new talk, "Math in (at least) 3D".
Check out the Mathematica
web site at It has info on the current version
(4.1) and all the options and prices and stuff. Be aware of the
student version if you want a cheaper way to get into the game
(about $139).
One cool site for you to
check out, especially if you're a calculus student, is the Mathematica
Integrator page at This lets you enter in your f(x),
sends it to their computer, figures out the integral (antiderivative),
and sends it back to your page. And you don't have to have a
copy of Mathematica to use it!

nequalities from Complex Analysis is a careful, friendly exposition of some rather interesting mathematics. The author begins by defining the complex number field; he gives a novel presentation of some standard mathematical analysis in the early chapters. The development culminates with some results from recent research literature. The book provides complete yet comprehensible proofs as well as some surprising consequences of the results. One unifying theme is a complex variables analogue of Hilbert's seventeenth problem. Numerous examples, exercises and discussions of geometric reasoning aid the reader. The book is accessible to undergraduate mathematicians, as well as physicists and engineers.

Book Description
Inequalities from Complex Analysis is a careful, friendly exposition of some rather interesting mathematics. The author gives a novel presentation of some standard mathematics as well as some results from recent research. Numerous examples, exercises and discussions aid the reader. The book is accessible to undergraduate mathematicians, physicists and engineers.
When I took my first course in real analysis as a graduate student, it was painfully, (literally and figuratively) obvious that success in the course was largely due to an ability to understand and manipulate inequalities. Throughout my career in mathematics since then, this opinion has been repeatedly reinforced, as I have often had to rediscover an inequality in order to solve a math problem. Knowledge of inequalities has also been a fundamental part of my work in computer science, especially in the areas of computation theory and algorithm analysis. Therefore, I can strongly recommend this book for people who either are planning on working in complex analysis or are working in complex analysis. Many of the most widely used inequalities are explained, presented and then proved. The chapter headings are:

Especially considering a lot of students are more apt in some subjects than others. For example, I consider myself an algebraist, so I'd have an easier time with Hungerford (which is fairly reasonable) and Artin (which is harder) than, say, Munkres. I've struggled with many exercises in Munkres.
When I was taking analysis Spivaks Manifolds was literally the most difficult for me to comprehend. Some problems in there I worked on for a week or two, beating my small brain on the table, and still not getting an answer. Totally nuts man.

Description
After a few initial chapters on the basics of Mathematica, the logic of this book is controlled by group theory.
The book has three major parts. Part I begins with the most elementary symmetry concepts, showing how to express them in terms of matrices and permutations, before moving on to the construction of mathematical groups. In Part II, mathematical group theory is presented with motivating questions and experiments first, and theorems that answer those questions second. In Part III, the projection operators that flow from the Great Orthogonality are automated and applied to chemical and spectroscopic problems, which are now seen to fall within a unified intellectual framework.
