SIMMS Integrated
Mathematics makes math accessible to all students by using
real-world contexts from a variety of disciplines. It incorporates
the use of technology as a learning tool in all facets and at all
levels of mathematics.
SIMMS Integrated Mathematics is a complete, NSF-funded, NCTM Standards-based
curriculum for all students that spans Algebra though Pre-Calculus.
The third edition of SIMMS Integrated Mathematics contains all
of the basic elements found in previous editions, along with some
new features. For example, each activity now offers an additional
problem set designed to hone mathematical skills before students
solve application-based problems. Several individual modules were
substantially revised, presenting fresh approaches to geometric
proofs, hypothesis testing, compositions of functions, and other
topics. Each module at each level includes the following sections:

College Algebra - 2nd edition
Summary: The BPB team has created a book where the use of the graphing calculator is optional but visualizing the mathematics is not. By creating algebraic visual side-by-sides to solve various problems in the examples, the authors show students the relationship of the algebraic solution with the visual, often graphical, solution. In addition to helping students visualize the math with side-by-sides, the authors focus on helping students make the connection between x-intercep...show morets, zeros, and solutions, both visually and algebraically.
Features
Functions Early and Integrated--This is the only non-graphing-calculator-required book on the market that introduces functions in Chapter 1 and thus sets BPB apart.
Algebraic Visual Side-by-Sides--Examples are worked out both algebraically and visually to increase student understanding of the concepts. Additionally, seeing these side-by-sides helps students make the connection between the algebraic manipulation and the graphical interpretation.
Zeros, Solutions, and x -Intercepts Theme-This theme allows students to reach a new level of mathematical comprehension through connecting the concepts of the real zeros of the function, the solutions of the associated equation, and the x-coordinates of the x-intercept of the graph of the function.
Technology Connection--Throughout each chapter, optional Technology Connections guide students in the use of the graphing calculator as another way to solve and check problems.
Review Icon--This provides the student with a reference to a related section. The student can then go there to review a concept being used in the current section.
Connecting the Concepts--Comprehension is streamlined and retention is maximized when the student views a concept in a visual, rather than paragraph, form. Combining design and art, this feature highlights the importance of connecting concepts. Its visual aspect invites the student to stop and check that he or she has understood how the concepts of a section or several sections work together.
New To This Edition
Visualizing the Graph--This new feature asks students to match an equation with its graph. This focus on visualization and conceptual understanding appears in every chapter to help students see "the big picture."
More Focus on Graphs--Throughout the text, there is an increased focus on graphs and graphing, again reminding students how helpful visualization can be in the discipline of mathematics. In particular, graphing of polynomial functions by hand has been added and emphasized in Section 3.1 at the request of reviewers.
Reorganization of Material--Section 1.5 has been split into two sections, 1.5 and 1.6. Composition of functions has been moved from Section 4.1 to 1.6, where it appears with the material on the algebra of functions.
Vocabulary Review--Appearing once in every chapter, in the Skill Maintenance portion of an exercise set, this feature checks and reviews students' understanding of the language of mathematics.
Classify the Function--With a focus on conceptual understanding, students are asked one time per chapter to identify a number of functions by their type (i. e., linear, quadratic, rational, and so forth). As students progress through the text, the variety of functions they know increases and these exercises become more challenging. These exercises appear with the review exercises in the Skill Maintenance portion of an exercise set.
Over 1000 New Exercises--The authors have worked hard to add additional exercises, where needed and often at the request of reviewers, on key topics throughout the text.
Appendix Covering Basic Concepts from Geometry--New to this edition is an appendix covering basic concepts from geometry that students need to know in order to work with topics pertaining to angles and triangles.
New Annotated Instructor's Edition --This special edition of the text provides answers to almost all text exercises in color on the page that the exercise appears. This provides the instructor with immediate access to answers without searching the back of the book..

As there are two basic types of data "continuous" and discrete. So, in discrete mathematics we study discrete data which is not continuous or in some regular pattern.Topics in discrete maths are integers,graphs and statements in logic. Discrete mathematics therefore excludes topics in "continuous mathematics" such as calculus and analysis. More simply,we can say that discrete maths deals with countable sets.
Ad
Steps
1
Know what discrete mathematics is not. Discrete mathematics is more defined by what it is not, rather than what it is.[1] It encompasses anything except quantities that vary smoothly ("continuous mathematics") such as calculus and analysis.
Ad
2
Determine whether the set of objects studied in discrete mathematics is finite or infinite.
For broader view of discrete mathematics
1
Research Theoretical computer science. Theoretical computer science includes areas of discrete mathematics relevant to computing. It is based on graph theory and logic. Computability studies what can be computed in principle, and has close ties to logic, while complexity studies the time taken by computations.
2
Research Information theory. Information theory involves the quantification of information. Closely related is coding theory which is used to design efficient and reliable data transmission and storage methods.
3
Research Logic. Logic is the study of the principles of valid reasoning and inference, as well as of consistency, soundness, and completeness. For example, in most systems of logic Peirce's law (((P→Q)→P)→P) is a theorem. For classical logic, it can be easily verified with a truth table.
4
Research Set theory and Graph theory. Set theory is the branch of mathematics that studies sets, which are collections of objects. In discrete mathematics, countable sets (including finite sets) are the main focus. Graph theory, the study of graphs and networks. Graphs can model many types of relations and process dynamics in physical, biological and social systems. In computer science, they represent networks of communication, data organization, computational devices, the flow of computation, etc. In Mathematics, they are useful in Geometry and certain parts of Topology.
5
Research Probability And Number theory. Discrete probability theory deals with events that occur in countable sample spaces. For example, count observations such as the numbers of birds in flocks comprise only natural number values {0, 1, 2, ...}. Discrete probability distributions can be used to approximate continuous ones and vice versa. Number theory is concerned with the properties of numbers in general, particularly integers. It has applications to cryptography, cryptanalysis, and cryptology, particularly with regard to prime numbers and primality testing.
6
Research Algebra. Algebraic structures occur as both discrete examples and continuous examples. Discrete algebras include: boolean algebra used in logic gates and programming; relational algebra used in databases; discrete and finite versions of groups etc

Multivariable calculus
Topics covered in the first two or three semesters of college calculus. Everything from limits to derivatives to integrals to vector calculus. Should understand the topics in the pre-calculus playlist first (the limit videos are in both playlists)
You can parameterize a line with a position vector valued function and understand what a differential means in that context already. This tutorial will take things further by parametrizing surfaces (2 parameters baby!) and have us thinking about partial differentials.
Flux can be view as the rate at which "stuff" passes through a surface. Imagine a net placed in a river and imagine the water that is flowing directly across the net in a unit of time--this is flux (and it would depend on the orientation of the net, the shape of the net, and the speed and direction of the current). It is an important idea throughout physics and is key for understanding Stokes' theorem and the divergence theorem.
Stokes' theorem relates the line integral around a surface to the curl on the surface. This tutorial explores the intuition behind Stokes' theorem, how it is an extension of Green's theorem to surfaces (as opposed to just regions) and gives some examples using it. We prove Stokes' theorem in another tutorial. Good to come to this tutorial having experienced the tutorial on "flux in 3D".

is the second post in an article series about MIT's course "Linear Algebra". In this post I will review lecture two on solving systems of linear equations by elimination and back-substitution. The other topics in the lecture are elimination matrices (also known as elementary matrices) and permutation matrices.
One of my blog readers, Seyed M. Mottaghinejad, had also watched this course and sent me his lecture notes. They are awesome. Grab them here: lecture notes by Seyed M. Mottaghinejad (includes .pdf, .tex and his document class).
Okay, here is the second lecture.
Lecture 2: Elimination with Matrices
Elimination is the way every software package solves equations. If the elimination succeeds it gets the answer. If the matrix A in Ax=b is a "good" matrix (we'll see what a good matrix is later) then the elimination will work and we'll get the answer in an efficient way. It's also always good to ask how can it fail. We'll see in this lecture how elimination decides if the matrix A is good or bad. After the elimination there is a step called back-substitution to complete the answer.
Okay, here is a system of equations. Three equations in three unknowns.
Remember from lecture one, that every such system can be written in the matrix form Ax=b, where A is the matrix of coefficients, x is a column vector of unknowns and b is the column vector of solutions (the right hand side). Therefore the matrix form of this example is the following:
For the elimination process we need the matrix A and the column vector b. The idea is very simple, first we write them down in the augmented matrix form A|b:
Next we subtract rows from one another in such a way that the final result is an upper triangular matrix (a matrix with all the elements below the diagonal being zero).
So the first step is to subtract the first row multiplied by 3 from the second row. This gives us the following matrix:
The next step is to subtract the second row multiplied by 2 from the third row. This is the final step and produces an upper triangular matrix that we needed:
Now let's write down the equations that resulted from the elimination:
Working from the bottom up we can immediately find the solutions z, y, and x. From the last equation, z = -10/5 = -2. Now we put z in the middle equation and solve for y. 2y = 6 + 2z = 6 + 2(-2) = 6 - 4 = 2 => y = 1. And finally, we can substitute y and z in the first equation and solve for x. x = 2 - 2y - z = 2 - 2(1) - (-2) = 2.
We have found the solution, it's (x=2, y=1, z=-2). The process we used to find it is called the back-substitution.
The elimination would fail if taking a multiple of one row and adding to the next would produce a zero on the diagonal (and there would be no other row to try to exchange the failing row with).
The lecture continues with figuring out how to do the elimination by using matrices. In the first lecture we learned that a matrix times a column vector gave us a combination of the columns of the matrix. Similarly, a row times a matrix gives us a combination of the rows of the matrix.
Let's look at our first step of elimination again. It was to subtract 3 times the first row from the second row. This can be expressed as matrix multiplication (forget the column b for a while):
Let's call the matrix on the right E as elimination matrix (or elementary matrix), and give it subscript E21 for making a zero in the resulting matrix at row 2, column 1.
The next step was twice the second row minus the third row:
The matrix on the right is again an elimination matrix. Let's call it E32 for giving a zero at row 3, column 2.
But notice that these two operations can be combined:
And we can write E32(E21A) = U. Now remember that matrix operations are associative, therefore we can change the parenthesis (E32E21)A = U. If we multiply (E32E21) we get a single matrix E that we will call the elimination matrix. What we have done is expressed the whole elimination process in matrix language!
Next, the lecture continues takes a step back and looks at permutation matrices. The question asked is "what matrix would exchange two rows of a matrix?" and "what matrix would exchange two columns of a matrix?"
[21:10] Matrix times a column vector is a linear combination of columns the matrix.
[22:15] A row vector times a matrix is a linear combination of rows of the matrix.
[23:40] Matrix x column = column.
[24:10] Row x matrix = row.
[24:20] Elimination matrix for subtracting three times row one from row two.
[26:55] The identity matrix.
[30:00] Elimination matrix for subtracting two times row two from row three.
[32:40] E32E21A = U.
[37:20] Permutation matrices.
[37:30] How to exchange rows of a 2x2 matrix?
[37:55] Permutation matrix P to exchange rows of a 2x2 matrix.
[38:40] How to exchange columns of a 2x2 matrix?
[39:40] Permutation matrix P to exchange columns of a 2x2 matrix.
[42:00] Commutative law does not hold for matrices.
[44:25] Introduction to inverse matrices.
[47:10] E-1E = I.
Here are my notes of lecture two:
My notes of linear algebra lecture 2 on elimination with matrices.
Have fun with this lecture! The next post is going to be either on lectures three and four together or just lecture three. Lecture three will touch a bit more on matrix multiplication and then dive into the inverse matrices. Lecture four will cover A=LU matrix decomposition (also called factorization).Forces on Goal was voted readers, but readers football M88 com is "crazy" not least the South Korean oppa love.

Mathematics - Algebra (529 results)
Florian Cajori's A History of Mathematics is a seminal work in American mathematics. The book is a summary of the study of mathematics from antiquity through World War I, exploring the evolution of advanced mathematics. As the first history of mathematics published in the United States, it has an important place in the libraries of scholars and universities. A History of Mathematics is a history of mathematics, mathematicians, equations and theories; it is not a textbook, and the early chapters do not demand a thorough understanding of mathematical concepts. The book starts with the use of mathematics in antiquity, including contributions by the Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. The sections on the Greek schools of thought are very readable for anyone who wants to know more about Greek arithmetic and geometry. Cajori explains the advances by Indians and Arabs during the Middle Ages, explaining how those regions were the custodians of mathematics while Europe was in the intellectual dark ages. Many interesting mathematicians and their discoveries and theories are discussed, with the text becoming more technical as it moves through Modern Europe, which encompasses discussion of the Renaissance, Descartes, Newton, Euler, LaGrange and Laplace. The final section of the book covers developments in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. Cajori describes the state of synthetic geometry, analytic geometry, algebra, analytics and applied mathematics. Readers who are not mathematicians can learn much from this book, but the advanced chapters may be easier to understand if one has background in the subject matter. Readers will want to have A History of Mathematics on their bookshelves.
The purpose of this book, as implied in the introduction, is as follows: to obtain a vital, modern scholarly course in introductory mathematics that may serve to give such careful training in quantitative thinking and expression as well-informed citizens of a democracy should possess. It is, of course, not asserted that this ideal has been attained. Our achievements are not the measure of our desires to improve the situation. There is still a very large "safety factor of dead wood" in this text. The material purposes to present such simple and significant principles of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, practical drawing, and statistics, along with a few elementary notions of other mathematical subjects, the whole involving numerous and rigorous applications of arithmetic, as the average man (more accurately the modal man) is likely to remember and to use. There is here an attempt to teach pupils things worth knowing and to discipline them rigorously in things worth doing.<br><br>The argument for a thorough reorganization need not be stated here in great detail. But it will be helpful to enumerate some of the major errors of secondary-mathematics instruction in current practice and to indicate briefly how this work attempts to improve the situation. The following serve to illustrate its purpose and program:<br><br>1. The conventional first-year algebra course is characterized by excessive formalism; and there is much drill work largely on nonessentials.
Bringing to life the joys and difficulties of mathematics this book is a must read for anyone with a love of puzzles, a head for figures or who is considering further study of mathematics. On the Study and Difficulties of Mathematics is a book written by accomplished mathematician Augustus De Morgan. Now republished by Forgotten Books, De Morgan discusses many different branches of the subject in some detail. He doesn't shy away from complexity but is always entertaining. One purpose of De Morgan's book is to serve as a guide for students of mathematics in selecting the most appropriate course of study as well as to identify the most challenging mental concepts a devoted learner will face. "No person commences the study of mathematics without soon discovering that it is of a very different nature from those to which he has been accustomed," states De Morgan in his introduction. The book is divided into chapters, each of which is devoted to a different mathematical concept. From the elementary rules of arithmetic, to the study of algebra, to geometrical reasoning, De Morgan touches on all of the concepts a math learner must master in order to find success in the field. While a brilliant mathematician in his own right, De Morgan's greatest skill may have been as a teacher. On the Study and Difficulties of Mathematics is a well written treatise that is concise in its explanations but broad in its scope while remaining interesting even for the layman. On the Study and Difficulties of Mathematics is an exceptional book. Serious students of mathematics would be wise to read De Morgan's work and will certainly be better mathematicians for it.
Bertrand Russell was a British logician, nobleman, historian, social critic, philosopher, and mathematician. Known as one of the founders of analytic philosophy, Russell was considered the premier logician of the 20th century and widely admired and respected for his academic work. In his lifetime, Russell published dozens of books in wildly varying fields: philosophy, politics, logic, science, religion, and psychology, among which The Principles of Mathematics was one of the first published and remains one of the more widely known. Although remembered most prominently as a philosopher, he identified as a mathematician and a logician at heart, admitting in his own biography that his love of mathematics as a child kept him going through some of his darkest moments and gave him the will to live. With his book The Principles of Mathematics, Russell aims to instill the same deep seated passion for mathematics and logic that he has carefully cultivated in the reader. He adeptly explores mathematical problems in a logical context, and attempts to prove that the study of mathematics holds critical importance to philosophy and philosophers. Russell utilizes the text to explore the some of the most fundamental concepts of mathematics, and expounds on how these building blocks can easily be applied to philosophy. In the second part of the book, Bertrand addresses mathematicians directly, discussing arithmetic and geometry principles through the lens of logic, offering yet another unique and groundbreaking interpretation of a field long before considered static. This book affords new insight and application for many basic mathematical concepts, both in roots of and application to other fields of scholarly pursuit. Russell uses his book to establish a baseline of mathematical understanding and then expands upon that baseline to establish larger and more complex ideas about the world of mathematics and its connections to other fields of personal interest. The Principles of Mathematics is a very captivating glimpse into the logic and rational of one of history's greatest thinkers. Whether you're a mathematician at heart, a logician, or someone interested in the life and thoughts of Bertrand Russell, this book is for you. With an incredible amount of information on mathematics, philosophy, and logic, this text inspires the reader to learn more and discover the ways in which these very disparate fields can interconnect and create new possibilities at their intersections.
The Directly Useful Technical Series requires a few words by way of introduction. Technical books of the past have arranged themselves largely under two sections: the theoretical and the practical. Theoretical books have been written more for the training of college students than for the supply of information to men in practice, and have been greatly filled with problems of an academic character. Practical books have often sought the other extreme, omitting the scientific basis upon which all good practice is built, whether discernible or not. The present series is intended to occupy a midway position. The information, the problems, and the exercises are to be of a directly useful character, but must at the same time be wedded to that proper amount of scientific explanation which alone will satisfy the inquiring mind. We shall thus appeal to all technical people throughout the land, either students or those in actual practice.
The orientalists who exploited Indian history and literature about a century ago were not always perfect in their methods of investigation and consequently promulgated many errors. Gradually, however, sounder methods have obtained and we are now able to see the facts in more correct perspective. In particular the early chronology has been largely revised and the revision in some instances has important bearings on the history of mathematics and allied subjects. According to orthodox Hindu tradition the Surya Siddhanta, the most important Indian astronomical work, was composed over two million years ago! Bailly, towards the end of the eighteenth century, considered that Indian astronomy had been founded on accurate observations made thousands of years before the Christian era. Laplace, basing his arguments on figures given by Bailly considered that some 3,000 years B. C. the Indian astronomers had recorded actual observations of the planets correct to one second; Playfair eloquently supported Bailly's views; Sir William Jones argued that correct observations must have been made at least as early as 1181 B. C.; and so on; but with the researches of Colebrooke, Whitney, Weber, Thibaut, and others more correct views were introduced and it was proved that the records used by Bailly were quite modern and that the actual period of the composition of the original Surya Siddhanta was not earliar than A. D. 400.<br><br>It may, indeed, be generally stated that the tendency of the early orientalists was towards antedating and this tendency is exhibited in discussions connected with two notable works, the Sulvasutras and the Bakhshali arithmetic, the dates of which are not even yet definitely fixed.
The course of study in American high schools is in process of extensive change. The change commenced with the introduction of new subjects. At first science began to compete with the older subjects; then came manual training, commercial and agricultural subjects, the fine arts, and a whole series of new literary courses. In the beginning the traditional subjects saw no reason for mixing in this forward movement, and such phrases as "regular studies," "substantial subjects," and "serious courses" were frequently heard as evidences of the complacent satisfaction with which the well-established departments viewed the struggles for place of the newer subjects. Today, however, the teachers of mathematics and classics are less anxious than formerly to be classified apart. Even the more conservative now write books on why they do as they do and they speak with a certain vehemence which betokens anxiety. They also prepare many editions of their familiar type of textbook, saying of each that it is something which is both old and new. All these indications make it clear that the change in the high-school curriculum which began with the introduction of new subjects will not come to an end until many changes have been made in the traditional subjects also.<br><br>Over against the obstinate conservatism of some teachers is to be set the vigorous movement within all subjects to fit them effectively to the needs of students. The interest of today is in supervised study, in better modes of helping students to think, in economy of human energy and enthusiasm. This means inevitably a reworking of the subjects taught in the schools. It is the opportunity of this generation of teachers to work out the changes that are needed to make courses more productive for mental life and growth.<br><br>During this process of reform, mathematics has changed perhaps less than any other subject.
The present work contains a full and complete treatment of the topics usually included in an Elementary Algebra. The author has endeavored to prepare a course sufficiently advanced for the best High Schools and Academies, and at the same time adapted to the requirements of those who are preparing for admission to college.<br><br>Particular attention has been given to the selection of examples and problems, a sufficient number of which have been given to afford ample practice in the ordinary processes of Algebra, especially in such as are most likely to be met with in the higher branches of mathematics. Problems of a character too difficult for the average student have been purposely excluded, and great care has been taken to obtain accuracy in the answers.<br><br>The author acknowledges his obligations to the elementary text-books of Todhunter and Hamblin Smith, from which much material and many of the examples and problems have been derived. He also desires to express his thanks for the assistance which he has received from experienced teachers, in the way of suggestions of practical value.
There are many men and women who, from lack of opportunity or some other reason, have grown up in ignorance of the elementary laws of science. They feel themselves continually handicapped by this ignorance. Their critical faculty is eager to submit, alike old established beliefs and revolutionary doctrines, to the test of science. But they lack the necessary knowledge.<br><br>Equally serious is the fact that another generation is at this moment growing up to a similar ignorance. The child, between the ages of six and twelve, lives in a wonderland of discovery; he is for ever asking questions, seeking explanations of natural phenomena. It is because many parents have resorted to sentimental evasion in their replies to these questionings, and because children are often allowed either to blunder on natural truths for themselves or to remain unenlightened, that there exists the body of men and women already described. On all sides intelligent people are demanding something more concrete than theory; on all sides they are turning to science for proof and guidance.<br><br>To meet this double need - the need of the man who would teach himself the elements of science, and the need of the child who shows himself every day eager to have them taught him - is the aim of the "Thresholds of Science" series.<br><br>This series consists of short, simply written monographs by competent authorities, dealing with every branch of science - mathematics, zoology, chemistry and the like. They are well illustrated, and issued at the cheapest possible price.
The present work, which is a translation of the Leçons élémentaires sur les mathematiques of Joseph Louis Lagrange, the greatest of modern analysts, and which is to be found in Volume VII. of the new edition of his collected works, consists of a series of lectures delivered in the year 1795 at the Ecole Normale, - an institution which was the direct outcome of the French Revolution and which gave the first impulse to modern practical ideals of education. With Lagrange, at this institution, were associated, as professors of mathematics, Monge and Laplace, and we owe to the same historical event the final form of the famous Géométrie descriptive, as well as a second course of lectures on arithmetic and algebra, introductory to these of Lagrange, by Laplace.<br><br>With the exception of a German translation by Niedermüller (Leipsic, 1880), the lectures of Lagrange have never been published in separate form; originally they appeared in a fragmentary shape in the Séances des Ecoles Normales, as they had been reported by the stenographers, and were subsequently reprinted in the journal of the Polytechnic School. From references in them to subjects afterwards to be treated it is to be inferred that a fuller development of higher algebra was intended, - an intention which the brief existence of the Ecole Normale defeated. With very few exceptions, we have left the expositions in their historical form, having only referred in an Appendix to a point in the early history of algebra.<br><br>The originality, elegance, and symmetrical character of these lectures have been pointed out by DeMorgan, and notably by Dühring, who places them in the front rank of elementary expositions, as an exemplar of their kind.
Francis William Newman was an emeritus professor of University College in London and an honorary fellow of Worcester College, Oxford. Considered quite the renaissance man, Newman's interests ranged wildly, from writings on philosophy, English reforms, Arabic, diet, grammar, political economy, Austrian Politics, Roman History, and math. He wrote at length on every subject he found of interest, and this book, Mathematical Tracts is a testament to his very successful career as a mathematician and his eloquence as an impassioned author. At its core, this book explores many of the basics theorems and principles behind geometry, aimed at the budding mathematician to encourage interest and educate. A wonderful beginners guide, but also an interesting read for anyone wanting to refresh their foundational knowledge in geometry, this book is an easy to understand and approachable guide to mathematics. After establishing the basics, this book goes in-depth on many geometrical concepts such as the treatment of ration between quantities incommensurable and primary ideas of the sphere and circle. Newman's vast knowledge of mathematics is put to excellent use in this text, expounding on mathematical concepts and explaining them with such clarity that regardless of prior mathematical knowledge, the reader is guaranteed to understand the concepts. Newman highlights a variety of shapes such as pyramids and cones in their geometric context and explains their mathematical significance. He also expands the reader's understanding of parallel straight lines and the infinite area of a plane angle, and ends the book with a plethora of tables and helpful mathematical examples intended to further clarify the core concepts of the text. Truly a one of a kind, Mathematical Tracts is the perfect book for anyone interested in mathematics. Whether you're an early learner or a seasoned professional, you will find new information that is communicated in such a passionate and compelling way that it is impossible not to be enthused and excited about the topic. An incredibly approachable book laden with mathematical concepts that are made both interesting and exciting by the overwhelming passion of the author, this book is highly recommended for all readers.
This tract is intended to give an account of the theory of equations according to the ideas of Galois. The conspicuous merit of this method is that it analyses, so far as exact algebraical processes permit, the set of roots possessed by any given numerical equation. To appreciate it properly it is necessary to bear constantly in mind the difference between equalities in value and identities or equivalences in form; I hope that this has been made sufficiently clear in the text. The method of Abel has not been discussed, because it is neither so clear nor so precise as that of Galois, and the space thus gained has been filled up with examples and illustrations.<br><br>More than to any other treatise, I feel indebted to Professor H. Weber's invaluable Algebra, where students who are interested in the arithmetical branch of the subject will find a discussion of various types of equations, which, for lack of space, I have been compelled to omit.<br><br>I am obliged to Mr Morris Owen, a student of the University College of North Wales, for helping me by verifying some long calculations which had to be made in connexion with Art. 52.
This little book was written at the instance of Messrs. Adam Y)Hilger, and, in accordance with their desire, it contains just what is required for the purpose of reading and handling my Simplified Method of Tracing Rays, etc. (Longmans, Green Co., London, 1918). With this practical aim in view, all critical subtleties have (js been purposely avoided. In fact, it is scarcely more than a synoptical presentation of the elements of Vector Algebra covering the needs of those engaged in geometrical optics. At the same time, however, it is hoped that this booklet will serve a more general purpose, viz. to provide everybody unacquainted with the subject with an easy introduction to the use of Vector Algebra. It is scarcely necessary to explain that the deductions given in this book are based on Euclids axioms, notably with the inclusion of his postulate of parallels upon which the equality of vectors is most essentially based. Those readers who are desirous of seeing how the formal rules here given can be generalized so as to be valid independently of the axioms of congruence and of parallels, may consult the authors Projective Vector Algebra (Bell Sons, 1919), and a sequel to it published in Phil. Mag. for July, 1919, pp. 115-143.It is, however, advisable for the student to become first thoroughly familiar with the euclidean vector algebra as here presented. I tajce the opportunity of expressing my sincere thanks to Messrs. Hilger for enabling me to make this further contribution towards the promotion of the more general use of this powerful and convenient language of vectors, and to the Publishers for the care they have bestowed upon this little book. L.S. London, August 1919.

Algebraic AnalysisSolutions and Exercises, Illustrating the Fundamental Theorems and the Most Important Processes of Pure Algebra
by G. A. WentworthVol. 1
Algebra, and to exhibit to them the highest and most important results of modern algebraic analysis. It may be used to follow and supplement the ordinary text-books, or it may be em loyed as a guide-book and work of reference, in a course of instruction under a teacher of mathematics. The following are some of the special features of this volume: It gives a large number of solutions in illustration of the best methods of algebraic resolution and reduction, some of which are not found in any text-book. It gives, classified under proper heads and preceded by typesolutions, a great number of exercises, many of them illustrating methods and principles which are generally ignored in elementary Algebras; and it presents these solutions and exercises in such a way that the student not only sees how algebraic transformations are efected, but also perceives how to form for himself as many additional examples as he may desire.
Sciences; Library Gv Ac Preface The main difference between this text and others on the same subject, published in the English language, consists in the selection of the material. In proceeding from the elementary to the more advanced properties of equations, the subject of invariants and covariants is here omitted, to make room for a discussion of the elements of substitutions and substitution-groups, of domains of rationality, and of their application to equations. Thereby the reader acquires some familiarity with the fundamental results 011 the theory of equations, reached by Gauss, Abel, Galois, and Kronecker. The Galois theory of equations is usually found by the beginner to be quite difficult of comprehension. In the present text the effort is made to render the subject more concrete by the insertion of numerous exercises. If, in the work of the class room, this text be found to possess any superiority, it will be due largely to these exercises. Most of them are my own; some are taken from the treatises named below. In the mode of presentation I can claim no originality. The following texts have been used in the preparation of this book: Bachmann, P.Kreistheiluny. Leipzig, 1872. Bornside, W.Theory of Groups. Cambridge, 1897. Burnside, W.S., and Panton, A. W.Theory of Equations, Vol. I, 1899 ; Vol. Ii, 1901. Dicksox, L.E. Theory of Algebraic Equations. New York, 1903. Easton, B.S. The Constructive Development of Group-Theory. Philadelphia, 1902. Encyklopadie der Mathematischen Wissenschaften.
This text is prepared to meet the needs of the student who will continue his mathematics as far as the calculus, and is written in the spirit of applied mathematics. This does not imply that algebra for the engineer is a different subject from algebra for the college man or for the secondary student who is prepared to take such a course. In fact, the topics which the engineer must emphasize, such as numerical computations, checks, graphical methods, use of tables, and the solution of specific problems, are among the most vital features of the subject for any student. But important as these topics are, they do not comprise the substance of algebra, which enables it to serve as part of the foundation for future work. Rather they furnish an atmosphere in which that foundation may be well and intelligently laid.<br><br>The concise review contained in the first chapter covers the topics which have direct bearing on the work which follows. No attempt is made to repeat all of the definitions of elementary algebra. It is assumed that the student retains a certain residue from his earlier study of the subject.<br><br>The quadratic equation is treated with unusual care and thoroughness. This is done not only for the purpose of review, but because a mastery of the theory of this equation is absolutely necessary for effective work in analytic geometry and calculus. Furthermore, a student who is well grounded in this particular is in a position to appreciate the methods and results of the theory of the general equation with a minimum of effort.<br><br>The theory of equations forms the keystone of most courses in higher algebra. The chapter on this subject is developed gradually, and yet with pointed directness, in the hope that the processes which students often perform in a perfunctory manner will take on additional life and interest.
The clearer view of the science thus afforded the teacher, the inspiration to improve his methods of presenting it, the increased interest in the class-work, the tendency of the subject to combat stagnation of curricula, these are a few of the reasons for approving the present renaissance of the study. This phase of scientific history which Montucla brought into such repute it must be confessed rather by his literary style than by his exactness and which writers like De Morgan in England, Chasles in France, Quetelet in Belgium, Hankel and Baltzer in Germany, and Boncompagni in Italy encouraged as the century wore on, is seeing a great revival in our day. This new movement is headed by such scholars as GUnther, EnestrOm, Loria, Paul Tannery, and 2 uthen, but especially by Moritz Cantor, whose Vorlesungen Hber GeschUhte der Mathematik must long remain the worlds standard. In any movement of this kind compendia are always necessary for those who lack either the time or the linguistic power to read the leading treatises. Several such works have recently appeared in various languages. But the most systematic attempt in this direction is the work here translated. The writers of most hand books of this kind feel called upon to collect a store of anecdotes, to incorporate tales of no historic value, and to minimize the real history of the science. Fink, on the other hand, omits biography entirely, referring the reader to a brief table in the appendix or to the encyclopedias.
The first chapter of this book prepares the way for quite a full treatment of simple integral equations with one unknown number. In the first two chapters only positive numbers are involyed and the beginner is led to see the practical advantages of Algebra before he encounters the difficulties of negative numbers. The definitions and explanations contained in these chapters should be carefully read at first; after the learner has become familiar with algebraic operations, special attention should be given to the principal definitions. The third chapter contains a simple explanation of negative numbers. The recognition of the fact that the real nature of subtraction is counting backwards, and that the real nature of multiplication is forming the product from the multiplicand precisely as the multiplier is formed from unity, makes an easy road to the laws of addition and subtraction of algebraic numbers, and to the law of signs in multiplication and division. All the principles and rules of this chapter are illustrated and enforced by numerous examples involving simple algebraic expressions only. The ordinary processes with compound expressions, including cases of resolution into factors, and the treatment of fractions, naturally follow the third chapter. The immediate succession of topics that require similar work is of the highest importance to the beginner, and it is hoped that the chapters on compound expressions will prove interesting, and give sufficient readiness in the use of symbols.

This little book on Algebra has been prepared for the use of students in their First Year at the University other than those following the special course in Mathematics and Physics. Students of those of whom is required the Algebra of the General Course will find the work covered in the first four chapters, while students who are taking any of the special courses in Pure Science or any of the courses in the School of Practical Science will read in addition Chapters V and VI. Chapter VII has been added to meet the needs of those students who are to study the Calculus in their Second Year.
This text differs widely from that marked out by custom and tradition. It treats the various branches of mathematics more with reference to their unities and less as isolated entities (sciences). It seeks to give pupils usable knowledge of the principles underlying mathematics and ready control of them. These texts are not an experiment; they were thoroughly tried out in mimeograph form on hundreds of high school pupils before being put into book form. The scope of Books I and II does not vary greatly from that covered in algebras and geometries of the usual type. However, Book I is different in that arithmetic, algebra, and geometry are treated side by side. The effect of this arrangement is increased interest and power of analysis on the part of the learner, and greater accuracy in results. Some pupils like arithmetic, others like algebra, still others like geometry; the change is helpful in keeping up interest. The study of geometry forces analysis at every step and stage; consequently written problems and problems to be stated have no terrors for those who are taught in this way. For several years mathematical associations have urged that all work should be based upon the equation. In accordance with this view we have made the demonstrations in this book largely algebraic, thus making the demonstration essentially a study in simultaneous equations. In this method of treatment, we have found it advantageous not to hurry the work. Pupils gain power, not in solving many problems, but in analyzing and tio?oxt 3 xaAwafcaxs.- ing the principles of a few.
This last part of the work contains problems in electrical engineering, and these, as well as the problems of the other parts, have been selected to illustrate the important principles of analytics and calculus. The several parts are independent of one another, and contain problems selected from the following engineering subjects: Part I. Machine Design. Part II. Hydraulics. Part III. Thermodynamics. Part IV. Mechanics of Materials. Part V.Electrical Engineering. A student or an engineer who wishes to review calculus or analytic geometry, or who wishes to acquire facility in appUcations of higher mathematics to engineering problems, may begin with any one of the five parts. He will probably first read the part which deals with his own branch of engineering, and then take the others with which he is less famihar. In this way every reader can arrange the parts according to an ascending degree of difficulty. The authors views on teaching mathematics to engineering students may be found in the Preface to Part I and in the Dialogue following that preface. Reference may also be made to Part I for a list of works on mathematics and for an Appendix entitled, What a Senior in Engineering ought to know about Mathematics.
In this book, as in Junior High School Mathematics, Book I, the subject is presented in a natural psychological way. As in Book I, the treatment is also in accordance with the accepted views of a great majority of educators who have made exhaustive investigation of the ways and means available to get the most value out of mathematics in the organized junior and senior high school courses.<br><br>The work for the seventh year found in Book I has been connected by indissoluble bonds with the work of the eighth year found in this succeeding book, Book II, and the work found here will in turn be connected with the work to be found in Book III by equally close and strong connecting ties. The author, for the purpose of providing a continuous stream of consecutive work for a three-year course, has adopted the same basic method. It is best described, perhaps, by calling it without fear or favor the topical plan spiralized. Each topic is treated at sufficient length to create a lasting impression, and ever thereafter at intervals is brought up in reviews. The need of this eternal vigilance in review work, and the special demand of modern business and industry for greater facility in the handling of the four fundamental operations, is met by introducing this second book with the four fundamental operations with integers. As in Book I, these reviews are elastic, and can therefore be made to fit the needs of any particular class.

Mathematics: Years 7-9
The Mathematics programme in Years 7, 8 and 9 follows the English National Curriculum. It forms the basis for Mathematics at IGCSE level. There are four attainment targets:
MA1 - USING AND APPLYING MATHEMATICS
MA2 - NUMBER AND ALGEBRA
MA3 - SHAPE, SPACE AND MEASURES
MA4 - HANDLING DATA
Using and applying mathematics, communicating mathematically and reasoning are taught throughout Years 7, 8 and 9. Students are regularly set problem solving activities involving practical tasks or real-life problems, which pose a challenge and allow students to develop and use their own strategies to reach a solution.Spreadsheets are also covered, using computers. Students develop both calculator and non-calculator skills.
For each topic, the work set is differentiated according to ability. There are 3 lessons and 2 homeworks each week. Students' progress is closely monitored and feedback is given continually throughout each term. There are short topic tests after each chapter and an end-of-year test in June.
Pupils are expected to bring their own equipment to every Mathematics lesson: pen, pencil, rubber, ruler, scientific calculator (not graphical), protractor and compass.
Students use the National Curriculum Mathematics STP books 7A, 8A and 9A by Bostock, Chandler, Shepherd and Smith. The topics covered are outlined below:

Numerical Computing in C#
In this lesson I will show how to numerically solve algebraic and ordinary differential equations, and perform numerical integration with Simpson method. I will start with the solution of algebraic equations. The secant method is one of the simplest methods for solving algebraic equations. It is usually used as a part of a larger algorithm to improve convergence. As in any numerical algorithm, we need to check that the method is converging to a given precision in a certain number of steps. This is a precaution to avoid an infinite loop.
Our second example is a Simpson integration algorithm. The Simpson algorithm is more precise the naive integration algorithm I have used there. The basic idea of the Simpson algorithm is to sample the integrand in a number of points to get a better estimate of its variations in a given interval.
Finally, let me show a simple code for solving first order ordinary differential equations. The code uses a Runge-Kutta method. The simplest method to solve ODE is to do a Taylor expansion, which is called Euler's method. Euler's method approximates the solution with the series of consecutive secants. The error in Euler's method is O(h) on every step of size h. The Runge-Kutta method has an error O(h^4) Runge-Kutta methods with a variable step size are often used in practice since they converge faster than fixed size methods

Algebra is a branch of mathematics that uses letters or other symbols to represent unknown quantities, called variables. These variables and number values are combined to form equations.
The rules of these equations follow the exact same rules as arithmetic, such as the commutative and associative laws for addition and multiplication.
Functions are a special type of equation, where one variable can be uniquely defined in terms of the other.
Another part of this topic is graphing of equations and functions using the Cartesian coordinate graph or polar coordinates.
Also, covered in this topic is set theory or what constitutes a grouping of numbers.
Basic algebra is algebra in which the letter symbols stand for real numbers. The scope of the field largely corresponds to the algebra usually taught in secondary schools or in early college as a precursor to the calculus.
Include in this category course materials, lesson plans and activities that are specific to the field of algebra, regardless of the education level.
Algebra tutorials that are geared towards students should be placed in Science/Math/High_School and not in the Algebra Education category.
The Algebra Education category should include teaching resources for educators and parents to enable them to assist in teaching students the field of algebra. This covers basic algebra and advanced algebra course.
In mathematics, a group is an algebraic structure consisting of a set together with an operation that combines any two of its elements to form a third element. Groups recur throughout mathematics, and the methods of group theory have strongly influenced many parts of algebra. Linear algebraic groups and Lie groups are two branches of group theory that have experienced tremendous advances and have become subject areas in their own right.

An Introduction to Inequalities
Publisher:
Mathematical Association of America
Number of Pages:
133
Price:
9.95
ISBN:
0883856034
Many of formulas and relations in mathematics contain one, or more than one, of the notations < = >. Comparing things with other things is what usually we do, in mathematics or in other branches of science which deal with mathematical tools, and we describe the results, when they contain at least one of < or >, as an inequality. Because of the importance of inequalities, particularly when making required approximations, several mathematicians attempted systematic studies on them at various levels. The book under review is such a book, aimed at high school students.
The series in which the book belongs (the Anneli Lax New Mathematical Library) is directed at high school students. The book wants to enable them:
A. To understand fundamental materials and principles of the theory, B. To work with inequalities in standard and intelligent manner, and C. To understand the primary research lines in this area.
The book consists of six chapters: Chapters 1–3 focus on axiomatics and fundamental concepts and tools. In Chapter 4 various classical inequalities of analysis are studied. These include the AGM inequality (the relationship between the arithmetic mean and geometric mean), the Cauchy, Hölder, and Minkowski inequalities, and the triangle inequality. Chapter 5 gives some applications to geometric maximum and minimum problems, and Chapter 6 considers some special distance functions, providing an introduction to Euclidean and Non-Euclidean norms. Each chapter contains some exercises with solutions at the end of book.
The book is classical, but still it has kept its freshness and still seems well-written and well-motivated. This book will also be very useful for teachers, both for its content and as a model of mathematical writing.
Finally, I should mention that the same authors have published another book with the title Inequalities. That book is at a higher level and should not be confused with the book under review.

AS I said in review of Part 1 of the Geometry Study Guide, plan on buying both Part 1 and Part 2 when you start out, since the organization of these guides seems somewhat mysterious. There are subjects in Part 2 that were covered very early on in Geometry class, and things in Part 1 that came very late in the year. If you have both sections, you can't go wrong, no matter what order a class takes.
There is a HUGE amount of information in theses guides, and it will take some study to learn where things are in the guide itself. Once that's done, though, you can practically throw away your textbook for the most part -- well, except for needing to know what homework problems to do! ;-) These guides are VERY complete and the information is really good and well presented -- BETTER than many textbooks.
Part 2 is definitely worth the money, especially in conjunction with Part 1. It's made the difference for my kid between a C and an A (really!) because it has really helped him with homework -- not having to page through the book, or search through the online book, has helped immeasurably. For me, there was enough there to re-awaken the nightmares of Geometry class long ago, and I could actually help him when he got stuck. THAT'S a great guide, hmm?
I tutor high school and college math and wanted a straightforward study guide to recommend for my students. I could not recommend this one.
Instead of simple formulas underlying the images, the theorems are written out and proven. I already know that, and so do my students. I just wanted images, say of intersecting chords in a circle and the relation of their intercepted arcs, and one formula to match. I didn't need the language nor the proof.
The double-sided tri-fold could have been a double-sided bifold if done more efficiently.
I ended up making my own study guide with images and formulas for my students, and it was 4 pages.
Bought a set for Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus. They are good to have around the home for your kids but there's nothing spectacular about them. And don't hold your breath for the "free downloads" advertised on them...they include highly sought-after titles like "Keys to High School Success," "Flag Day," & "Email Etiquette."

Differential Equations
9780495012658
ISBN:
0495012653
Edition: 3 Pub Date: 2005 Publisher: Thomson Learning
Summary: Incorporating a modeling approach throughout, this exciting text emphasizes concepts and shows that the study of differential equations is a beautiful application of the ideas and techniques of calculus to everyday life. By taking advantage of readily available technology, the authors eliminate most of the specialized techniques for deriving formulas for solutions found in traditional texts and replace them with topi...cs that focus on the formulation of differential equations and the interpretations of their solutions. Students will generally attack a given equation from three different points of view to obtain an understanding of the solutions: qualitative, numeric, and analytic. Since many of the most important differential equations are nonlinear, students learn that numerical and qualitative techniques are more effective than analytic techniques in this setting. Overall, students discover how to identify and work effectively with the mathematics in everyday life, and they learn how to express the fundamental principles that govern many phenomena in the language of differential equations.

DragNMath1.4
Working with complex mathematical formulas in digital form usually requires learning some kind of syntax. DragNMath takes a new approach to the matter by combining the capabilities of a formula editor with the properties of a calculator.
As a result, you can write down functions and expressions like you would do on paper simply by pressing different buttons organized by category: standard or miscellaneous functions and constants. What's more, DragNMath enables the user to set up its own constants and functions.
Note that DragNMath might not work properly on Mavericks, but also take into account that the application does not open any window on its own: you must launch the app and then manually start a new project.
The DragNMath project window is separated in two panels: the input, functions and variables lists and the actual working area which includes the calculator and functions editor tabs.
Working with DragNMath is as easy as drag and drop since all you have to do is drag the functions and variables you want to use in the calculator or functions editor panels. At the same time, when the calculations are done, the calculator area is split in two in order to make room for the plotted graph.
Adding certain elements to your formula can be rather challenging in the beginning, but once you learn where you have to drop the item to have it added everything goes quite smoothly. What's more, you can also rearrange the expression through the same drag and drop actions.
Although you can save your project as a .nua file and work on it later, DragNMath does not provide support for using the created mathematical expressions or the results with other apps. However, to learn more about that you can do with DragNMath you can read the included Help documentation.

Publisher Comments:
This book is an introduction to the theory of Lie groups and their representations at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level. It covers the essentials of the subject starting from basic undergraduate mathematics. The correspondence between linear Lie groups and Lie algebras is developed in its local and global aspects. The classical groups are analyzed in detail, first with elementary matrix methods, then with the help of the structural tools typical of the theory of semisimple groups, such as Cartan subgroups, root, weights and reflections. The fundamental groups of the classical groups are worked out as an application of these methods. Manifolds are introduced when needed, in connection with homogeneous spaces, and the elements of differential and integral calculus on manifolds are presented, with special emphasis on integration on groups and homogeneous spaces. Representation theory starts from first principles, such as Schur's lemma and its consequences, and proceeds from there to the Peter-Weyl theorem, Weyl's character formula, and the Borel-Weil theorem, all in the context of linear groups.

Bring Statistics Education to Life!
This exciting new webinar will demonstrate some of the ways that educators can take advantage of Maple's symbolic and numeric approach for statistics education. Examples will include basic statistics theory including descriptive statistics such as measures of central tendency and spread, hypothesis testing, as well as discrete and continuous random variables.
Many examples presented in this webinar will be taken from the new Student Statistics package that was introduced in Maple 18. The Student Statistics was designed with classroom use in mind, and features detailed explanations and instructions, interactive demonstrations, and visualizations, all of which are great learning tools for teaching a course involving probability and statistics.
As engineering applications become more complex, it is becoming increasingly difficult to satisfy the often-conflicting project constraints using traditional tools. As a result, we've found there is a growing interest within the engineering community for tools that make engineering calculations transparent and capture not just results but also the knowledge and analysis used throughout the engineering workflow. Engineering organizations are achieving this goal by making symbolic techniques an integral part of their tool set.
In this webinar, Laurent Bernardin will demonstrate how to enhance the early-stage design phase by making mathematical computations explicit and transparent, and then integrating the results into an existing tool chain.
Do you want to use both Simulink® and MapleSim in your tool chain? If so, we have a free upcoming webinar today at 2 pm EST that might be helpful to you!
In this webinar, Application Engineer Bonnie Yue will demonstrate:
- How to quickly develop and optimize engineering system models in MapleSim, then use the MapleSim Connector to automatically convert them into S-Function blocks for seamless inclusion in Simulink® diagrams. - How to export MapleSim models to Simulink®, including models with custom components.
for my mechanical engineering studies we have to optimize an engine during a workshop. Therefore we have to use a numerical dsolve to solve the equation of motion. I have to get the maximum bearing reaction for a constant rpm. In order to get this I can't think of anything else but use the dsolve solution and use it in maximize.
MapleSim has seen a rapid evolution since its inception in 2008 as a multi-domain system-level modeling and simulation environment. Market response has been outstanding: Maplesoft has been working with an expanding list of key industry players such as AISIN AW Co., Ltd. and B&R, while major customers like

volume in Research in Mathematics Education Series Editor Barbara J. Dougherty, University of Mississippi This volume investigates the evolution of the geometry curriculum in the United States over the past 150 years. A primary goal is to increase awareness of the nature of the current geometry curriculum by investigating the historical, mathematical and pedagogical influences that it has sustained since its inception. Given the limited access to first-hand accounts of the enacted geometry curriculum during the past 150 years, the book relies on textbooks to provide a record of the implemented curriculum at any given point in time and on policy documents and journal articles to provide insight into the prevalent issues and arguments of the day. The book is organized in a chronological sequence of "notable events" leading to discernable changes in thinking about the geometry curriculum over the past century and a half-roughly the extent of time during which geometry has been taught in American schools. Notable events include important reports or commissions, influential texts, new schools of thought, and developments in learning technologies. These events affected, among other things: content and aims of the geometry curriculum; the nature of mathematical activity as construed by both mathematicians and mathematics educators; and, the resources students are given for engaging in mathematical activity. Before embarking through the notable events, it is necessary to consider the "big bang" of geometry, namely the moment in time that shaped the future life of the geometry curriculum. This corresponds to the emergence of Euclidean geometry. Given its influence on the shape of the geometry curriculum, familiarity with the nature of the geometry articulated in Euclid's Elements is essential to understanding the many tensions that surround the school geometry curriculum. Several themes emerge over the course of the monograph, and include: the aims and means of the geometry curriculum, the importance of proof in geometry, the role of visualization and tactile experiences, the fusion between solid and plane geometry, the curricular connections between geometry and algebra, and the use of motion and continuity. The intended audience would include curriculum developers, researchers, teachers, and curriculum supervisors.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The book discusses classical Galois theory in considerable generality, treating fields of characteristic zero and of positive characteristic with consideration of both separable and inseparable extensions, but with a particular emphasis on algebraic extensions of the field of rational numbers. While most of the book is concerned with finite extensions, it discusses algebraic closure and infinite Galois extensions, and concludes with a new chapter on transcendental extensions. Key topics and features of this second edition: - Approaches Galois theory from the linear algebra point of view, following Artin; - Presents a number of applications of Galois theory, including symmetric functions, finite fields, cyclotomic fields, algebraic number fields, solvability of equations by radicals, and the impossibility of solution of the three geometric problems of Greek antiquity. Review from the first edition: "The text offers the standard material of classical field theory and Galois theory, though in a remarkably original, unconventional and comprehensive manner ... . the book under review must be seen as a highly welcome and valuable complement to existing textbook literature ... . It comes with its own features and advantages ... it surely is a perfect introduction to this evergreen subject. The numerous explaining remarks, hints, examples and applications are particularly commendable ... just as the outstanding clarity and fullness of the text." (Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1089 (15), 2006) Steven H. Weintraub is a Professor of Mathematics at Lehigh University and the author of seven books. This book grew out of a graduate course he taught at Lehigh. He is also the author of Algebra: An Approach via Module Theory (with W. A. Adkins).

Bagatrix Algebra 1 Solved!
For
I am so excited about this product. For Here's how it works: You load it onto your computer (requires Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/or Windows 7). Your student creates his own file. As he is working in his regular math book, if he finds a problem that he can't solve or doesn't understand, he simply types the problem into the computer. The computer then solves it for him, BUT it won't give him the answer. It gives him only the first step. If the student can see what the computer did without additional information, he can go onto the next step (which the computer will provide). If, however, your student still doesn't get it, he can click the icon in the corner (warning: it is a picture of a wizard), and it will give him instructions about how it arrived at that step. Within these written instructions are hilighted words (like "polynomial") that you can click on for a definition ("Gee, what's a polynomial? I'll just click here and find out!"). If your student STILL doesn't understand that step, you can click again for even further instruction (or restated instruction). Your student can do this for every step of a problem until the problem is solved! But, that's not all! The program can generate sample problems if your student needs more practice of a particular type of problem. It can create tests as well and track your student's progress! It's like having a math teacher right at your finger tips to do all the work for you in your homeschool!
The Algebra 1 CD includes over 100 topics covered (such as slope and y-intercept, linear equations, quadratic equations, order of operations, absolute value, graphing, and much, much more). This one program will save you money (since you can now stick with your current math program), time (since your student will be more independent), and worry (you don't have to teach higher math in your homeschool because there are Bagatrix programs for even advanced math like Calculus, Trig, and College Algebra!). And the price is wonderful! One Bagatrix program costs about the same as 1 tutoring session with a math whiz - but you get to keep and use Bagatrix 24/7.

Reviews of What is Mathematics?: An Elementary Approach to Ideas and Methods
For more than two thousand years a familiarity with mathematics has been regarded as an indispensable part of the intellectual equipment of every cultured person. Today, unfortunately, the traditional place of mathematics in education is in grave danger. The teaching and learning ofmathematics has degenerated into the realm of rote memorization, the outcome of which leads to satisfactory formal ability but does not lead to real understanding or to greater intellectual independence. This new edition of Richard Courant's and Herbert Robbins's classic work seeks to address thisproblem. Its goal is to put the meaning back into mathematics. Written for beginners and scholars, for students and teachers, for philosophers and engineers, What is Mathematics?, Second Edition is a sparkling collection of mathematical gems that offers an entertaining and accessible portrait of the mathematical world. Covering everything from naturalnumbers and the number system to geometrical constructions and projective geometry, from topology and calculus to matters of principle and the Continuum Hypothesis, this fascinating survey allows readers to delve into mathematics as an organic whole rather than an empty drill in problem solving.With chapters largely independent of one another and sections that lead upward from basic to more advanced discussions, readers can easily pick and choose areas of particular interest without impairing their understanding of subsequent parts. Brought up to date with a new chapter by Ian Stewart, What is Mathematics?, Second Edition offers new insights into recent mathematical developments and describes proofs of the Four-Color Theorem and Fermat's LastTheorem, problems that were still open when Courant and Robbins wrote this masterpiece, but ones that have since been solved. Formal mathematics is like spelling and grammar--a matter of the correct application of local rules. Meaningful mathematics is like journalism--it tells an interesting story. But unlike some journalism, the story has to be true. The best mathematics is like literature--it brings a story to lifebefore your eyes and involves you in it, intellectually and emotionally. What is Mathematics is like a fine piece of literature--it opens a window onto the world of mathematics for anyone interested to

A thorough, complete, and unified introduction, this volume affords exceptional insights into coordinate geometry. It makes extensive use of determinants, but no previous knowledge is assumed; they are introduced from the beginning as a natural tool for coordinate geometry. Invariants of conic sections and quadric surfaces receive full treatments. Algebraic equations on the first degree in two and three unknowns are carefully reviewed and carried farther than is usual in algebra courses. Throughout the book, results are formulated precisely, with clearly stated theorems. More than 500 helpful exercises throughout the text incorporate often in rather novel settings each idea after its full and careful explanation. 1939

This book is intended for students wishing to deepen their knowledge of mathematical analysis and for those teaching courses in this area. It differs from other problem books in the greater difficulty of the problems, some of which are well-known theorems in analysis. Nonetheless, no special preparation is required to solve the majority of the problems. Brief but detailed solutions to most of the problems are given in the second part of the book. This book is unique in that the authors have aimed to systematize a range of problems that are found in sources that are almost inaccessible (especially to students) and in mathematical folklore.
Readership
Graduate students as well as experts in theoretical and mathematical physics, differential and integral equations and mathematical analysis.

'Our writing is based on three premises. First, life sciences students are motivated by and respond well to actual data related to real life sciences problems. Second, the ultimate goal of calculus in the life sciences primarily involves modeling living systems with difference and differential equations. Understanding the concepts of derivative and integral are crucial, but the ability to compute a large array of derivatives and integrals is of secondary importance. Third, the depth of calculus for life sciences students should be comparable to that of the traditional physics and engineering calculus course; else life sciences students will be short changed and their faculty will advise them to take the 'best' (engineering) course.In our text, mathematical modeling and difference and differential equations lead, closely follow, and extend the elements of calculus. Chapter one introduces mathematical modeling in which students write descriptions of some observed processes and from these descriptions derive first order linear difference equations whose solutions can be compared with the observed data. In chapters in which the derivatives of algebraic, exponential, or trigonometric functions are defined, biologically motivated differential equations and their solutions are included. The chapter on partial derivatives includes a section on the diffusion partial differential equation. There are two chapters on non-linear difference equations and on systems of two difference equations and two chapters on differential equations and on systems of differential equation.'

Purna is a show to see (very entertaining). He isn't the most clear teacher and often focuses on proofs which students aren't used to. The homeworks can be long and often contain a proof, but it's only due once a week. Overall a pretty easy class, plus the tests and final were a joke and he can easily be talked into postponing them.
Purnaprajna (called Purna) is a pretty good teacher. He's a very, very funny guy, and enjoys getting to know his students. His homework is difficult, though, and is often very long. He is the only math teacher that I have ever encountered (as an engineering major) that puts proofs on his homework and tests. Tests were difficult, final was easy.
Not helpful. Hard to understand. Gives tons of homework problems and grade 2 or 3, so if you struggle on one you can fail the whole assignment. Leaves lectures frequently to make personal calls and expects you to stay through them
Overall, he's a great professor. He's willing to work with his students and to answer questions. He does believe in meditation ("go home and meditate" on the theorem of the day) and class participation. He's also crazy in a fun way. Whenever the class kind of dozed off, he'd always wish for swings in class so that we could grab them and swing.

Topics in Group Theory
9781852332358
ISBN:
1852332352
Pub Date: 2000 Publisher: Springer
Summary: The theory of groups is simultaneously a branch of abstract algebra and the study of symmetry. Designed to support a reader engaged in a first serious group theory course, or a mathematically mature reader approaching the subject for the first time, this book reviews the essentials. It recaps the basic definitions and results, up to and including Lagrange's Theorem, and then continues to explore topics such as the is...omorphism theorems and group actions. Later chapters include material on chain conditions and finiteness conditions, free groups and the theory of presentations. In addition, a novel chapter of "entertainments" takes the basic theory and plays with it to obtain an assortment of results that will show a little of what can be done with the theoretical machinery. Adopting the slightly irreverent tone of Geoff Smith's previous book, Introductory Mathematics: Algebra and Analysis, this book is a key reference that will both stimulate and entertain its readers.
Smith, Geoff is the author of Topics in Group Theory, published 2000 under ISBN 9781852332358 and 1852332352.

But it is lightweight, thanks to its lack of unnecessary graphics, and according to my math teachers, it's packed with problems, including extra practice. It has a good amount of examples.It also has a few random biographies of mathematicians and scientists that are interesting, but mostly pointless, and have little correlations to the sections. There are also small sections about math careers. Additionally, there are computer exercises for students with programming experience. Answers to odd problems are in the back, which is a major plus. ~A. Brown
I used this textbook last year for my Algebra II class. I personally loved this book. It had very good, worked-examples in each section that were exactly the same as the practice problems given. Most textbooks start out with some information explaining what is going on, and then the student is just supposed to put the pieces together on how to do the problems, whereas the examples in this book show the student exactly how to do the problems. My algebra teacher was not very good, and while she did work out examples on the board for the class, they just never made sense. By the end of the year, I stopped even listening to her lessons and I just did the problems in the book on my own. I made an A in the class, and even though math is one of my weaker subjects, I think I learned enuogh to do fine on the SAT and ACT.
However, my teacher disliked this book. She said that it really needed to include more graphing, and that it was outdated.
To each his own, I guess. I definitely think that its many clearly layed out examples helped me.
My high school used to use this book for our Adv. Algebra II class, but now the entire school has switched to this book.
Having use this book, it covered lots of materials including some material from Trigonometry too. I currently also use this book for students I tutor. The problems in the book are very detailed and most of the "challenge" problems are good too. As with most textbooks, this one only shows odd answers too in the back.
This book provides enough problems to grasp the math concepts. It teaches enough material for SAT I, but for SAT Math Level II, you need to buy a pre-calculus book. As for ACT math, this book encompasses all the concepts.
The only complain I have is that there is one section about sequences and series, and at the end of that chapter, the binomial theorem is just thrown in. It just seems more suitable to place that theorem in the polynomial section.
I highly recommend this book for students wanting to learn Algebra II.
As a High School Algebra 2 Teacher, this is a wonderful book that covers all the national math standards. It isn't filled with pictures and fluff, making it a no-nonsense book that can be either basic (set A problems) or more challening (set B and C problems). It's examples are straight-forward showing all steps so readers can understand how to get from one step to another.
The book may be long and contain useless problems, such as the oral exercises. But the content is rich in resources and problems are challenging enough to entice your brain. I think its great for learning algebra and a bit of trigonometry. Everyone should adopt this book as the school curriculum.

Mathematics entry requirements
This list allows you to compare typical A-level offers for mathematics university courses. Some offers listed here have been simplified to appear on the table so you should always check the university's website for any technicalities.
Offers may also vary each year so check if the table is up to date. Some universities give multiple offers (e.g. depending on whether you are studying further maths). In this case, you could be given one, some or all of the available offers. Some universities accept general studies and critical thinking for these offers but most do not. There may also be additional GCSE and/or English language requirements. Some universities give the same offers to most candidates, others could vary them.
When a university asks for a maths-related subject, this often refers to a science, economics, or further maths. Check the university website for details.
UCAS points are calculated by adding up the number of points achieved from each subject. The number of UCAS points obtained from a full A-level is A*:140, A:120, B:100, C:80, D:60, E:40. At AS, the number of points is halved. See the tariff tables for other qualifications.

Product Description
The LFBC Math program is a solid one, beginning with the knowledge that God created everything, and, because of this, order has resulted. It teaches that students can expect exactness, preciseness, and completeness in arithmetic/mathematics, just as they can expect it in God's creation. We start with the basic facts. Strong emphasis is given to learning the multiplication tables early. Later we proceed to the more complicated and abstract concepts in the upper grades.
Topics covered in Grade 10 include:
The Angle
Geometric Proof
Parallel Lines
Using Congruent Triangles
Similar Triangles
The Pythagorean Theorem
Introduction to Trigonometry
Areas of Plane Figures

EnglishMore editions of History of Analytic Geometry (Dover Books on Mathematics):
What do you mean there's no Chapter 0? Whether or not you think that's a deficit, A History of Mathematics more than makes up for it with its depth and engaging analysis of the development of the "flawless science".
Historian Carl B Boyer designed this as a practical textbook for communicating math's complex timelines to interested college students in 1968; Uta C. Merzbach has gently revised it to bring it in line with current thought. Much of the content of the early chapters is untouched, while new chapters on the 19th-and 20th-centuries cover Boyer's omissions and new and revised references guide the reader to additional resources.
From the origins of numbering to the future of computing, the authors strive for comprehensive examination and clear, simple explanations. Some of the math will daunt those who have never taken college-level courses (or have forgotten what they learned), but some of the more elaborate technical material can be skipped if needed. Especially helpful is the extensive timeline-appendix that proceeds from the beginning of time to the late 20th century. Whether you are using it to gain a better understanding of mathematics or to broaden your awareness of the historical record, A History of Mathematics will help you make sense of the wide world of numbers. --Rob Lightner
This book, for the first time, provides laymen and mathematicians alike with a detailed picture of the historical development of one of the most momentous achievements of the human intellect the calculus. It describes with accuracy and perspective the long development of both the integral and the differential calculus from their early beginnings in antiquity to their final emancipation in the 19th century from both physical and metaphysical ideas alike and their final elaboration as mathematical abstractions, as we know them today, defined in terms of formal logic by means of the idea of a limit of an infinite sequence. But while the importance of the calculus and mathematical analysis the core of modern mathematics cannot be overemphasized, the value of this first comprehensive critical history of the calculus goes far beyond the subject matter. This book will fully counteract the impression of laymen, and of many mathematicians, that the great achievements of mathematics were formulated from the beginning in final form. It will give readers a sense of mathematics not as a technique, but as a habit of mind, and serve to bridge the gap between the sciences and the humanities. It will also make abundantly clear the modern understanding of mathematics by showing in detail how the concepts of the calculus gradually changed from the Greek view of the reality and immanence of mathematics to the revised concept of mathematical rigor developed by the great 19th century mathematicians, which held that any premises were valid so long as they were consistent with one another. It will make clear the ideas contributed by Zeno, Plato, Pythagoras, Eudoxus, the Arabic and Scholastic mathematicians, Newton, Leibnitz, Taylor, Descartes, Euler, Lagrange, Cantor, Weierstrass, and many others in the long passage from the Greek "method of exhaustion" and Zeno's paradoxes to the modern concept of the limit independent of sense experience; and illuminate not only the methods of mathematical discovery, but the foundations of mathematical thought as well.

Review: Slimmer, fitter mathematics
Clean, slim lines characterise this year's mathematics textbooks. The day of the comprehensive tome may still be in force in the US, but elsewhere short, well-focused books are becoming the rule. Hardly surprising, when students have enough trouble eating and paying the rent: in Britain textbooks are fast becoming a luxury. At any rate, publishers have seen which way the wind is blowing, and have adapted their product accordingly - with the positive spin-off of comprehensible books.
Sets by Michael Potter - the preface explains how near it came to being 'The Joy of Sets' - makes the foundations of mathematics palatable by embedding the formalities of logic and set theory in an often fascinating discussion of their historical origins. Suitable for final year undergraduates; some parts could with profit be read earlier. More down to earth is Alan Slomson's An Introduction to Combinatorics. This is an area where

Find a Rego Park CalculusI conclude by checking the validity of the solution(s). "Plug and Chug" as it is referred to by my past students. It is my tested and proven method of understanding what is being taught. I found that memorization of certain formulas may save time on tests, but is less beneficial to the students' understanding of a topic than the aforementioned logical approach.

Amusingly, it seems like the course is marketed towards a nonexistent demographic. It's made so that someone without calculus training can understand it, but realistically nobody without calculus training can understand it.

Undergraduate Algebraic Geometry
9780521356626
ISBN:
0521356628
Pub Date: 1988 Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Summary: Algebraic geometry is, essentially, the study of the solution of equations and occupies a central position in pure mathematics. This short and readable introduction to algebraic geometry will be ideal for all undergraduate mathematicians coming to the subject for the first time. With the minimum of prerequisites, Dr Reid introduces the reader to the basic concepts of algebraic geometry including: plane conics, cubics... and the group law, affine and projective varieties, and non-singularity and dimension. He is at pains to stress the connections the subject has with commutative algebra as well as its relation to topology, differential geometry, and number theory. The book arises from an undergraduate course given at the University of Warwick and contains numerous examples and exercises illustrating the theory.
Reid, Miles is the author of Undergraduate Algebraic Geometry, published 1988 under ISBN 9780521356626 and 0521356628. Three hundred one Undergraduate Algebraic Geometry textbooks are available for sale on ValoreBooks.com, one hundred fifty one used from the cheapest price of $29.98, or buy new starting at $39.53.[read more]
