Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Book in General Mathematics The pedagogical remedy for such a state of affairs may be summed up in the words practical use or relation to life. Interest can be aroused and maintained only when there is a tangible relation between the subject matter studied and the out-of-school life of the student. This idea is not new, but has been applied in various forms at different times. In the Colebrook School, for example, in the northern part of New Hampshire, where the school is being made over to fit the needs of the community, the course in geometry has been substituted by a course in practical mathematics which includes: a - the algebra of the equation; b - the application of geometry to practical measurements; c - the elementary principles of surveying. Professor Parker, in his book on High School Methods, has the following to say regarding high-school mathematics: The order of topics in a subject Should be decided by the needs, capacities and interests of high-school students, not by the nature of the subject itself, nor the interests of a specialist in the subject. In high-school mathematics this standard will require the inclusion of many practical prob lems and the mixing of the easier topics of algebra and geometry, and some arithmetic, in the first year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Mathematics: Book Two While the emphasis in the first book was placed largely upon algebra, the emphasis here is placed principally upon geometry. At the same time, however, the earlier work in arithmetic, algebra, and trigonometry is kept before the stu dent by means of reviews and applications, and enough new material is introduced to give to the student that knowledge of the fundamentals of these subjects which he should have at the end of his second year's work. The fundamental laws and operations of arithmetic are kept before the student by their uses in connection with the develop ment of formulas, new topics in algebra, and applied problems.

Download or read book Mathematics Form and Function written by Saunders MacLane and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book records my efforts over the past four years to capture in words a description of the form and function of Mathematics, as a background for the Philosophy of Mathematics. My efforts have been encouraged by lec tures that I have given at Heidelberg under the auspices of the Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung, at the University of Chicago, and at the University of Minnesota, the latter under the auspices of the Institute for Mathematics and Its Applications. Jean Benabou has carefully read the entire manuscript and has offered incisive comments. George Glauberman, Car los Kenig, Christopher Mulvey, R. Narasimhan, and Dieter Puppe have provided similar comments on chosen chapters. Fred Linton has pointed out places requiring a more exact choice of wording. Many conversations with George Mackey have given me important insights on the nature of Mathematics. I have had similar help from Alfred Aeppli, John Gray, Jay Goldman, Peter Johnstone, Bill Lawvere, and Roger Lyndon. Over the years, I have profited from discussions of general issues with my colleagues Felix Browder and Melvin Rothenberg. Ideas from Tammo Tom Dieck, Albrecht Dold, Richard Lashof, and Ib Madsen have assisted in my study of geometry. Jerry Bona and B.L. Foster have helped with my examina tion of mechanics. My observations about logic have been subject to con structive scrutiny by Gert Miiller, Marian Boykan Pour-El, Ted Slaman, R. Voreadou, Volker Weispfennig, and Hugh Woodin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Mathematics 6. One of the most curious characteristics of American secondary-mathematics instruction is the obscurity in the teaching of the function notion. It is generally agreed that functional thinking (the dependence of one magnitude upon another) constitutes one of the most fundamental notions of mathematics. Because of the interrelations of the equation, the formula, the function, the graph, and the geometric relations inductively acquired, the material is easily correlated around the function idea as the organizing and unifying principle. The function concept (implicitly or explicitly) dominant throughout helps to lend concreteness and coherence to the subject. However, it would be false to assume that this material is presented to establish the principle of correlation. On the contrary, it happens that correlation around the function notion, though incidental, is a valuable instrument for accomplishing the larger aim, which is to obtain a composite introductory course in mathe maties that all future citizens of our democracy should be required to take as a matter of general scholarship.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Course in the Theory of Equations It was to meet the numerous needs of the student in regard to his earlier and future mathematical courses that the present book was planned with great care and after wide consultation. It. Din'ers essentially from the author's Elementary Theory of Equations, both in regard to omissions and additions, and since it is addressed to younger students and may be used parallel with a course in differential calculus. Simpler and more detailed proofs are now employed. The exercises are simpler, more numerous, of greater variety and involve more practical applications. This book throws important light on various elementary topics. For example, an alert. Student of geometry who has learned how to bisect auv angle is apt to ask if every angle can be trisected with ruler and compasses and if not, why not. After learning how to construct regular polygons of 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 sides, he will be inquisitive about the missing ones of 7 and 9 sides. The teacher will be in a comfortable position if he knows the facts and what. Is involved in the simplest discussion to date of these questions, as given in Chapter III. Other chapters throw needed light on various topics of algebra. In particular, the theory of graphs is presented in Chapter V in a more scientific and practical manner than was possible in algebra and analytic geometry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Unified Mathematics This text presents a course in elementary mathematics adapted to the needs of students in the freshman year of an ordinary college or technical school course, and of students in the first year of a junior college. The material Of the text includes the essential and vital features of the work commonly covered in the past in separate courses in college algebra, trigonometry, and analytical geometry. The fundamental idea of the development is to emphasize the fact that mathematics cannot be artificially divided into compartments with separate labels, as we have been in the habit of doing, and to Show the essential unity and harmony and interplay between the two great fields into which mathematics may properly be divided; via, analysis and geometry.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Arithmetic: First Book Tms book is intended to cover the work usually given in the first four school years. Part One should be used by the teacher as the basis of oral work suitable for beginners. This work may be repeated as a review after the book has been placed in the hands of the pupil. Part Two covers the work of the third year; Part Three that of the fourth year. A primary consideration in the selection of the subject mat ter and in the method of presentation has been the child him self - his interests, his needs, and his capabilities. Constant effort has been made to bring the entire subject into close touch with child life. The course as a whole proceeds by carefully graded steps to develop in the pupil of the primary grades not only accuracy and reasonable speed in computations but also the power to interpret and solve such problems as come within the range of his experience.

Download or read book Pure Mathematics Including Arithmetic Algebra Geometry and Plane Trigonometry Classic Reprint written by Edward Atkins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pure Mathematics, Including Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, and Plane Trigonometry The special Object of the present work is to meet the requirements of the Science and Art Department's Examina tions in the first three stages of Pure Mathematics as set down in the Syllabus of the Science Directory. This will account for the arrangement of the subject matter. I hope, how ever, that it will be found not unsuitable as a general class book in Elementary Mathematics. In the Arithmetical Section my Object has been to deduce the rules from first principles, avoiding as much as possible algebraical considerations. The Geometry consists simply of the first three books of Euclid's Elements with exercises, the only point calling for remark being the marginal notes. I have found it useful in class teaching to put down upon a blackboard the chief steps of the proposition - just those points, in fact, which it is necessary to retain in the memory; and to encourage the pupil to depend upon himself for supplying the connecting links. This skeleton, as it were, of the proposition is placed in the margin, with the hope that it will be specially appreciated by many students of the industrial classes to whom the language Of Euclid is ordinarily an insuperable barrier. Particular reference is here made to such of those classes as have grown up to almost manhood without any mathematical training.
