Download or read book Approaches to Algebra written by N. Bednarz and published by Springer. This book was released on 1996-06-30 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Greek geometry, there is an arithmetic of magnitudes in which, in terms of numbers, only integers are involved. This theory of measure is limited to exact measure. Operations on magnitudes cannot be actually numerically calculated, except if those magnitudes are exactly measured by a certain unit. The theory of proportions does not have access to such operations. It cannot be seen as an "arithmetic" of ratios. Even if Euclidean geometry is done in a highly theoretical context, its axioms are essentially semantic. This is contrary to Mahoney's second characteristic. This cannot be said of the theory of proportions, which is less semantic. Only synthetic proofs are considered rigorous in Greek geometry. Arithmetic reasoning is also synthetic, going from the known to the unknown. Finally, analysis is an approach to geometrical problems that has some algebraic characteristics and involves a method for solving problems that is different from the arithmetical approach. 3. GEOMETRIC PROOFS OF ALGEBRAIC RULES Until the second half of the 19th century, Euclid's Elements was considered a model of a mathematical theory. This may be one reason why geometry was used by algebraists as a tool to demonstrate the accuracy of rules otherwise given as numerical algorithms. It may also be that geometry was one way to represent general reasoning without involving specific magnitudes. To go a bit deeper into this, here are three geometric proofs of algebraic rules, the frrst by Al-Khwarizmi, the other two by Cardano.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is ample literature documenting that, for many decades, high school students view algebra as difficult and do not demonstrate understanding of algebraic concepts. Algebraic reasoning in elementary school aims at meaningfully introducing algebra to elementary school students in preparation for higher-level mathematics. While there is research on elementary school students' algebraic reasoning, there is a scarcity of research on how elementary school teachers implement algebraic reasoning curriculum and how their practices support algebraic reasoning. The purpose of this study therefore was to discover practices that promote algebraic reasoning in elementary classrooms by studying elementary school teachers' practices and algebraic reasoning that the practices co-constructed. Specifically, the questions that guided the study included (a) what were the teachers' routines of practice, and (b) in what ways did the routines of practice support algebraic reasoning. I sampled On Track Learn Math project and worked with six teachers to explore their routines of practice and students' algebraic reasoning. As a participant observer, I analyzed video data of the classroom activities, memos, field notes, students' written transcripts and interview data using constructivist grounded theory approach and descriptive statistics. Member checking, data triangulation, and data coding by multiple raters ensured consistency and trustworthiness of the results. Descriptive analysis of students' written generalizations showed that about 74% of the generalizations were explicit and about 55% of the generalizations included names of variables indicating that students were learning how to reason algebraically. Data analysis also revealed five routines of practice. These routines are; (a) maintaining open-endedness of the tasks, (b) nurturing co-construction of ideas, (c) fostering understanding of variable, (d) creating a context for mathematical connections and (e) promoting understanding of generalizations. Teachers maintained open-endedness by giving minimal instructions when launching the tasks and providing students with workspaces. They nurtured co-construction of ideas by creating opportunities for students to collaborate, fostering collaboration, and balancing the support of discourse and content. They fostered understanding of variable as a changing quantity and as a relationship. Teachers created a context for mathematical connections between On Track tasks and students' everyday experiences, between student strategies, between different tasks, between On Track tasks and other curriculum ideas, and between different representations. Teachers promoted understanding of generalizations by encouraging students to justify their conjectures, to apply and evaluate peers' generalizations among other practices. These practices were dependent and informed each other."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Book excerpt: The notion of linearity is perhaps the most fundamental idea in algebraic thinking. It sets the transition to functions and culminates with the instantaneous rate of change in calculus. Despite its simplicity, this concept poses complexities to a considerable number of first semester college algebra students. The purpose of this observational study was to explore how the TI-84 Transformation Graphing Application, a highly visual and interactive tool, could cultivate the teaching and learning of the elementary slope-intercept form. The study was conducted with 40 subjects during three 70 minute class sessions. Three activities were modelled and subsequently investigated on the effects that changes in slope and y intercept values have on linear equations as well as an application of given data to extend cognitive thinking on patterns and relationships between two variables. It was discovered that the direct exploratory instruction of the essential elements of this application can enable students to visualize and conclude mathematical generalizations about the foundation properties of the function concept.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for students with basic experience in college algebra and applied calculus, Fundamentals of Statistical Thinking: Tools and Applications familiarizes readers with fundamental concepts in statistical thinking in order to prepare them for specialized management courses such as econometrics and quantitative analysis. The book is organized into four sections, each of which focuses on a common tool used in application. Chapters 1 through 4 discuss data analysis and summaries, with an emphasis on descriptive statistics and visualization. In Chapters 5 through 8 students learn about probability models and sampling distributions. Chapters 9 and 10 deal with statistical inferences, while Chapters 11 and 12 provide further applications for categorical data and simple linear regression models. Graphical illustrations support the written text and each chapter concludes with a visual summary. Rooted in over ten years of classroom experience at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, Fundamentals of Statistical Thinking helps readers understand the importance of the main technical tools of statistical decision making, and explains when they can most appropriately be used for applied studies.

Book excerpt: Sure to be influential, Watanabe's book lays the foundations for the use of algebraic geometry in statistical learning theory. Many models/machines are singular: mixture models, neural networks, HMMs, Bayesian networks, stochastic context-free grammars are major examples. The theory achieved here underpins accurate estimation techniques in the presence of singularities.
