Download or read book The Mathematics Teacher in the Digital Era written by Alison Clark-Wilson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-08 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses the key issue of the initial education and lifelong professional learning of teachers of mathematics to enable them to realize the affordances of educational technology for mathematics. With invited contributions from leading scholars in the field, this volume contains a blend of research articles and descriptive texts. In the opening chapter John Mason invites the reader to engage in a number of mathematics tasks that highlight important features of technology-mediated mathematical activity. This is followed by three main sections: An overview of current practices in teachers’ use of digital technologies in the classroom and explorations of the possibilities for developing more effective practices drawing on a range of research perspectives (including grounded theory, enactivism and Valsiner’s zone theory). A set of chapters that share many common constructs (such as instrumental orchestration, instrumental distance and double instrumental genesis) and research settings that have emerged from the French research community, but have also been taken up by other colleagues. Meta-level considerations of research in the domain by contrasting different approaches and proposing connecting or uniting elements

Book excerpt: This is a collection of essays on the state of the art in computer applications in music throughout Europe and North America. Written by leaders in the field, the book includes discussion of music processing, music analysis/synthesis models, and formal tools for music knowledge representation and for programming and controlling music computing systems. The final chapters examine the work of some of the most advanced computer music centres in the world. The book will be of interest to students and professionals working within the field of music processing, and will enrich their understanding of this crucially important subject. Goffredo Haus is Senior Researcher, Dipartmento di Scienze dell'Informazione, and scientific director of the LIM at the University of Milan.

Download or read book Musical Haptics written by Stefano Papetti and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Open Access book offers an original interdisciplinary overview of the role of haptic feedback in musical interaction. Divided into two parts, part I examines the tactile aspects of music performance and perception, discussing how they affect user experience and performance in terms of usability, functionality and perceived quality of musical instruments. Part II presents engineering, computational, and design approaches and guidelines that have been applied to render and exploit haptic feedback in digital musical interfaces. Musical Haptics introduces an emerging field that brings together engineering, human-computer interaction, applied psychology, musical aesthetics, and music performance. The latter, defined as the complex system of sensory-motor interactions between musicians and their instruments, presents a well-defined framework in which to study basic psychophysical, perceptual, and biomechanical aspects of touch, all of which will inform the design of haptic musical interfaces. Tactile and proprioceptive cues enable embodied interaction and inform sophisticated control strategies that allow skilled musicians to achieve high performance and expressivity. The use of haptic feedback in digital musical interfaces is expected to enhance user experience and performance, improve accessibility for disabled persons, and provide an effective means for musical tuition and guidance.

Download or read book The Vision of Cecil Rhodes written by Frank Aydelotte and published by . This book was released on 1946 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the seven wills which Cecil Rhodes made between the ages of twenty-four and forty-six which constitute a kind of spiritual autobiography. Rhodes was born in an English parsonage in 1853. He was a boy of delicate health and in 1870 his parents sent him to South Africa to join his brother, Herbert, who was trying to make a living by growing cotton in Natal. In 1871 Cecil and Herbert migrated to the diamond fields of Kimberley where Cecil Rhodes laid the foundation of his fortune. The purpose of this book is to outline the methods by which the Rhodes Trustees have during the last forty years patiently met the problems presented by so new an experiment in international education, to explain the steps by which the American Scholarships have been made more and more successful, and to say what can be said about the record of the men at Oxford and in the United States after their return.

Download or read book The Lion Monument at Amphipolis written by Oscar Broneer and published by American School of Classical Studies at Athens. This book was released on 1941 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The monumental lion at the site of Amphipolis in northern Greece is one of the most illustrated sculptures in textbooks of ancient art. It is probably the burial monument of Laomedon, a general and close friend of Alexander the Great. Until the 1930s however, the remains of the lion were fragmentary and little known. This book, by a famous art historian, describes the re-erection of the monument by the French and American Schools in Athens, at a time when the gathering clouds of war gave new meaning to this symbol of Greek military prowess. It presents a full description of the 4th-century B.C. lion, its meaning, and its historical context.
