Download or read book Mental Math written by Abhishek VR and published by Ofpad. This book was released on 2019-05-19 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the Mental Math Secrets to Become a Human Calculator! Schools taught you a way to do math that works when you have a pen & paper. But the same methods, takes a lot of effort when you have to do math in your head. This is because it uses a lot of your working memory (the short term memory used to complete a mental task). For example, try to mentally multiply 73,201 x 3. It might take only a few seconds to multiply the individual digits. But if you multiply right to left the way you learnt in school, you will rely on your working memory. You will use it to recall every single digit you calculate to put it back together and get your final answer. You may even find yourself calculating some digits again because you forgot one of the numbers. The difficulty increases further when you have to multiply larger numbers like 732 x 323. You will have to remember numbers across many steps. Mental arithmetic would be a lot easier to do in your head if you didn’t have to remember so many numbers. In school, you learnt to write the down numbers as you calculate to free up your working memory. In mental math, there are many other ways to do the same thing. One of the tricks to free up your working memory is to calculate from left to right instead of right to left. Try multiplying 73,201 x 3 from left to right, starting from 7 x 3 and ending with 1 x 3. You will find yourself calling out the answer before you even finish the whole problem. You can use this trick to solve any math problem in the future. But we have just scratched the surface. There are many more tricks inside the book that make doing mental math as easy as reading a comic. Here is a glimpse of what you will be able to master: • Mentally add large numbers(Example: Add 8739 + 5492 in your head in seconds) • Subtract numbers fast. (Example: Mentally subtract 7520 - 4998 without writing anything down) • Multiplication tricks to multiply three-digit numbers. (Example: Multiply 323 x 123 in your head) • Square large numbers in seconds (Example: Calculate 64 x 64 faster than a calculator) • Mentally divide large numbers (Example: Divide 601324 by 73 entirely in your head) • Quickly check a calculation with 90% accuracy without re-calculating • Overcome math anxiety • Cement your mental math skills with bonus weekly training.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Process of Learning Mathematics describes the process of learning mathematics and covers topics ranging from the nature of mathematics to the role of intuition and logic in mathematics; the thought processes involved in the teaching of mathematics; reflective intelligence and the use of symbols; and discovery as a way of learning mathematics. Computer-assisted instruction in mathematics is also considered. This book is comprised of 19 chapters and begins with a reflection on the nature of mathematics, followed by a discussion on the importance of intuition and logic in mathematics. The ideas of generalization, structure, approximations, and the evolution of some particular aspect of applied mathematics are then examined from the viewpoint of a teacher. Subsequent chapters deal with schematic learning; motivation and emotional and interpersonal factors; uses of programmed material in British schools and colleges; and structural apparatuses used in teaching mathematics. The Midlands Mathematical Experiment and the Nuffield Foundation Mathematics Teaching Project in Britain are also described. This monograph will be of interest to teachers and students of mathematics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using concepts from algebra and relating them to life, Tess navigates the waters of friendship, popularity, and family. Math lover Tess has always used mathematical concepts to help her understand things in her life. She is surprised to find out how much math—and life—can change in eighth grade. She also has to learn about injustice and ethics when a family friend mysteriously dies, and when she witnesses a cheating episode at her school and realizes that keeping silent about it, even to get in the good graces of the cutest boy in school, only leads to more trouble. Are theorems and axioms about life fail-safe? Is there an absolute answer to everything, just as there are absolute numbers? In the end, Tess decides that her life, like the infinity sign, is always changing, but that as long as she sticks to some key principles for herself, she can handle life’s uncertainties.

Download or read book Mathematics for Human Flourishing written by Francis Su and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The ancient Greeks argued that the best life was filled with beauty, truth, justice, play and love. The mathematician Francis Su knows just where to find them."--Kevin Hartnett, Quanta Magazine" This is perhaps the most important mathematics book of our time. Francis Su shows mathematics is an experience of the mind and, most important, of the heart."--James Tanton, Global Math Project For mathematician Francis Su, a society without mathematical affection is like a city without concerts, parks, or museums. To miss out on mathematics is to live without experiencing some of humanity's most beautiful ideas. In this profound book, written for a wide audience but especially for those disenchanted by their past experiences, an award-winning mathematician and educator weaves parables, puzzles, and personal reflections to show how mathematics meets basic human desires--such as for play, beauty, freedom, justice, and love--and cultivates virtues essential for human flourishing. These desires and virtues, and the stories told here, reveal how mathematics is intimately tied to being human. Some lessons emerge from those who have struggled, including philosopher Simone Weil, whose own mathematical contributions were overshadowed by her brother's, and Christopher Jackson, who discovered mathematics as an inmate in a federal prison. Christopher's letters to the author appear throughout the book and show how this intellectual pursuit can--and must--be open to all.

Download or read book Core Values of Mathematics Education Contents written by David Ann and published by 거꾸로미디어 & GOS. This book was released on 2022-10-20 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematics can be characterized as an endeavor to discover the patterns hidden within nature. The math education content should be devised as a way of bringing out creativity within every individual, who each have a different unique talent, through the understanding of humanity and nature. Mathematics is the subject dedicated to discovering the hidden patterns within nature. Upon discovering this pattern, you can create something that provides happiness to people. Humans are part of nature. Therefore, the hidden patterns to making people happy must be embedded in the nature. Then, what are some of the things that can make people happy? People of today are lonely. They are waiting for something that can soothe their loneliness. Smartphones are fairly recent example of an item that soothes people’s loneliness. Also, people have thirst for anything that can extend their life span so they could live long and healthy lives. What are some of the examples? One of those items is new medicines, that cure diseases that were previously impossible to cure. Another example would be prescriptive tools such as MRI, ultrasonic waves and CT. Health and emotional issues are highly interrelated and all add up to allowing happy lives. Every machinery or technological devices that bring happiness are included in the field of high-tech industry. Mathematics is a ‘source technology’ for all high-tech industry. The level of a country’s mathematics skills is equivalent to the level of a country’s competence. Today, all first world countries have exceptional level of mathematics. The most ideal math education is an endeavor to discover the patterns hidden within nature. Before you do that, you first have to observe and starts from the very effort to find those patterns in animals and plants. Biologists are people who find patterns in animals and plants. The nature consists of plants and animals. If you observe them well, you would be able to uncover a distinctive, original pattern in all of them. A pattern is innately differentiated characteristic that every plant and animal has. In order to bring this act of observation into a field of mathematics, you have to be able to draw out those patterns. The patterns of animals and plants are very sophisticated, quite hard to realize the overarching pattern. If you can tag every pattern you find with a number or a word, you can turn the pattern into a form of an equation. Then, the overriding pattern becomes apprehensible. As such, numbers and languages are powerful tools that mathematicians use in the process of finding the hidden pattern behind the nature. Once we find the pattern through observation and tag them with a number or a language, we finally have the chance to discern the pattern itself. Numbers and languages are key features in ‘idealism’ that mathematicians support. Physicians say the following, “If physicians do not utilize numbers and languages of mathematics, we cannot even begin to collect our thoughts.” To simply put, idealism of mathematics is an equation. If you turn various possibilities of numbers into a language, what you’ll have in the end would be an equation. Long sentences that contain numbers can be easily turned into an equation if you utilize a language. There is a need to understand the saying, “The use of language has brought convenience to the field of mathematics.” The difference between calculation and mathematics stems from this very idea. Once you find the overriding pattern, you have to find the overarching rule. Because you have to figure out the reason why the structure of nature is created and goes extinct in order to find out the hidden pattern behind the nature. Every living organism has a consistent pattern. However, there are patterns hidden within patterns. A pattern and its destruction always exist side by side which makes it difficult for us to pinpoint the pattern of movement. Furthermore, a pattern might be multi-dimensional which makes external detection rather difficult. There seems to be some sort of a rule inside pattern but no one can be completely sure of what that pattern is precisely. In order to discern patterns, destruction of patterns, and patterns that appear within another pattern, people need to have higher perspective. Higher perspective can be nurtured without limit by acquiring a refined taste in the humanities. If we can cultivate classic taste for the humanities through reading so that we can understand societies that we do not live in, we will have the ability to see the invisible, hear the inaudible and gain insights into the world we’ve never been. The humanities is a story about people’s lives. It is about how creative people’s lives were throughout their life and how beautiful their death was when the moment came. The humanities is about life and death. By studying the humanities, people will gain new perspectives on profound subjects such as life and death, creation and extinction, time and space and finally the past, present and the future. Therefore, they can analyze the world of patterns that impact other patterns. If people can find the hidden pattern behind nature, they can understand the secret behind life and death of plants and animals. They can also understand the secret to creation and extinction of the nature. Mathematicians are people who devise a prediction mechanism to make projections on what will happen to living organisms by finding hidden patterns behind the nature. The most ideal mathematics education will enable you to cover fields of expertise in natural science such as biology, chemistry and physics. Biologists are people who find pattern by observing the nature and draw it out. Chemists then do their job of naming those that are visible, tangible and have forms. Physicians take care of the field of power and mechanisms that explain the process all living organisms maintain to keep their unique forms. Mathematicians are people who devise a prediction mechanism to make projections on what will happen to living organisms by finding out hidden patterns behind the nature. This is the very reason why we call mathematics the essence of natural science. Comprehending the world of chemistry for the structure of nature and the world of physics for power and mechanism is vital to find out hidden patterns behind the nature. We need to also understand the world of fractals (chemistry) and the world of chaos (physics). The world of chemistry and physics always maintain a structural relationship. At the same time, mathematicians figure out hidden patterns behind the nature by looking at both the world of chemistry and physics and speculating on what will happen to one organism and how big it will grow before it suddenly gets smaller and disappear. 2022. 10. 20 David Ann, Ph.D. PREFACE
