This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of Mathematical Education Including the Teaching of Arithmetic This study is based upon twenty years' experience Of school and college education ranging through all grades, including the very elements of counting and form in the kindergarten, the mathematics appropriate to the school, and the standard required Of students for an Honours Degree in our universities. Conclusions based on class-teaching and those arrived at by experiment and by a private study Of the individual have served both to correct and to supplement each other. The substance of the present volume has also formed the introductory part Of a course of lectures on the teaching of mathematics, which, for many years, I have given in various institutions to classes of teachers from almost all types and grades Of schools, elementary as well as secondary and tertiary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to Algebra: Being the First Part of a Course of Mathematics, Adapted to the Method of Instruction in the American Colleges So far as it is desirable to form a taste for mathematical studies, it is important that the books by which the student is first introduced to an acquaintance with these subjects, should not be rendered obscure and forbidding by their conciseness. Here is no opportunity to awaken interest, by rhetorical ele gance, by exciting the passions, or by presenting images to the imagination. The beauty of the mathematics depends on the distinctness of the objects of inquiry, the symmetry of their relations, the luminous nature of the arguments, and the certainty of the conclusions. But how is this beauty to be perceived, in a work which is so much abridged, that the chain of reasoning is often interrupted, important demonstra tions omitted, and the transitions from one subject to another so abrupt, as to keep their connections and dependencies out of view?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A School Course of Mathematics Tm: material for mathematical education may be chosen for the value of the knowledge of the material itself, or for the value Of the training got in the course of acquiring the knowledge. The knowledge-value is greater the more closely the thing studied is related to human life and interests, and less the more remote it is from these. As to training-value, the appropriate progress from concrete to abstract is most possible in connexion with things of concrete human interest; so that a selection of material made for its knowledge-value is confirmed by the criterion Of training-value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Course of Pure Mathematics I have endeavoured to make Chapter IV one of the principal features of the book. The notion of a limit is one that has always presented grave difficulties to mathematical students even of great ability. It has been my good fortune during the last eight or nine years to have a share in the teaching of a good many of the ablest candidates for the Mathematical Tripos; and it is very rarely indeed that I have encountered a pupil who could face the simplest problem involving the ideas of infinity, limit, or continuity, with a vestige of the confidence with which he would deal with questions of a different character and of far greater intrinsic difficulty. I have indeed in an examination asked a dozen candidates, including several future Senior Wranglers, to sum the series 1 +m+m2+ and not received a single answer that was not practically worthless - and this from men quite capable of solving difficult problems connected with the curvature and torsion of twisted curves. I cannot believe that this is due solely to the nature of the subject. There are difficulties in these ideas, no doubt: but they are not so great as many other difficulties inherent in mathematics that every young mathematician completely overcomes. The fault is not that of the subject or of the student, but of the text-book and the teacher. It is not enough for the latter, if he wishes to drive sound ideas on these points well into the mind of his pupils.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elementary Course of Mathematics: Comprising Arithmetic, Algebra and Euclid The main purpose of this text-book is to provide in a single and inexpensive volume a short course of Arithmetic, Algebra, and Euclid specially adapted to the needs of a large and increasing class of students: namely, those who after leaving school desire to continue their study of Elementary Mathe maties, partly with help derived from evening classes, and partly by means of private work at home. The majority of such students work under somewhat difficult conditions. They have already received a certain training in Arithmetic, but their mathematical education has gone no further; and the problem which meets them is how - with very limited instruction and leisure - to maintain what they have already learned, and at the same time to acquire from the beginning a sound knowledge of Elementary Algebra and Geometry. What is needed by such learners is first of all a course of varied and graduated Exercises in Arithmetic; then a careful exposition of the two new subjects, Algebra and Euclid, arranged and treated in such a way as to smooth the path of a beginner, and to encourage him to overcome difficulties by relying on his own industry and intelligence. These considerations have been kept in View in compiling the following pages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2012-01-18 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this book is the fundamental influence of the cyphering tradition on mathematics education in North American colleges, schools, and apprenticeship training classes between 1607 and 1861. It is the first book on the history of North American mathematics education to be written from that perspective. The principal data source is a set of 207 handwritten cyphering books that have never previously been subjected to careful historical analysis.

Download or read book The Teaching of Arithmetic Classic Reprint written by David Eugene Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Arithmetic The Teachers College Record for March, 1903, contained an article on Mathematics in the Elementary School by the author's colleague Professor mcmurry and himself. This number, how ever, has long since been out of print, and as a result of this fact it was thought best in the autumn of 1908 to prepare a new number of the.record on The Teaching of Arithmetic. This was done by the author, and the article appeared in January, 1909. Although it was thought that the unusually large edition was sufficient for all demands for some years to come, it was ex hauste\d within a few weeks, and it became necessary to print the article in book form. In spite of the fact that the work was originally written in a popular style, to the end that it might be read by those who have no more interest in mathematics than in the various other subjects of the curriculum, it has been thought best to make but a few changes in arranging for its publication in the present form. Intended as it is for those who are teaching or supervising the work in arithmetic in the elemen tary schools, it would hardly serve its purpose if it departed widely from the practical and entered the domain of pure theory. As between influencing the few or the many on a topic of such general interest 'it has been thought better to adopt the latter course, and to prepare a book that might have place in educational reading circles generally and serve as a basis for the work in the class-room for the training of teachers.

Download or read book The Teaching of Geometry Classic Reprint written by David Eugene Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Geometry It is for this larger class, the great body of progressive teachers, that this book is written. It stands for Vitaliz ing geometry in every legitimate way; for improving the subject matter in such manner as not to destroy the pupil's interest; for so teaching geometry as to make it appeal to pupils as strongly as any other subject in the curriculum; but for the recognition of geometry for geometry's sake and not for the sake of a fancied utility that hardly exists. Expressing full appreciation of the desirability of establishing a motive for all studies, so as to have the work proceed with interest and vigor, it does not hesitate to express doubt as to certain motives that have been exploited, nor to stand for such a genuine, thought-compelling development of the science as is in harmony with the' mental powers of the pupils in the American high school. For this class of teachers the author hopes that the book will prove of service, and that through its peru sal they will come to admire the subject more and more, and to teach it with greater interest. It offers no pana cea, it champions no single method, but it seeks to set forth plainly the reasons for teaching a geometry of the kind that we have inherited, and for hoping for a grad ual but definite improvement in the science and in the methods of its presentation.

Download or read book Intermediate Arithmetic Classic Reprint written by William James Milne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Intermediate Arithmetic His work has been prepared to meet a demand for a book that contains, within brief compass, an elementary course in arithmetic. It is also designed to be an introduction to the more thorough and exhaustive treatment of the science which is given in the author's standard arithmetic. The first part of the book contains exercises arranged in such a manner that they secure an easy and natural development of the ideas of numbers, and they afford sufficient practice to fix the results in memory. Ready knowledge of results can be secured only by frequent repetition and thorough drill, and the lessons that have been prepared are believed to be admirably adapted to produce expertness in computing, without sacrificing interest in the subject through constant practice with abstract numbers. When the more systematic treatment of the science is presented, the pupil is led by natural, progressive, and logical steps to an understanding of the definitions, principles, processes, and rules, before he is required to state them; consequently, all definitions, principles, and rules are but the expressions of what he already knows. It is evident, therefore, that the plan pursued in the work will develop in the student the habit of investigating for himself any subject which may claim his attention, and this is an extremely important part of proper teaching.
