Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mathematics and Life, Vol. 1 Mathematics and Life, Book One, is the first unit of a three-book series for the junior high school grades. This series exemplifies the practical application of the modern philosophy and objectives of the junior high school movement. The point of view is consistently that of social mathematics, rather than that of purely computational arithmetic. Such socialization automatically forces a unification of subject matter from all branches of mathematics that are related to a given social situation. The point of View may also be described as that of consumer mathematics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Loving and Hating Mathematics written by Reuben Hersh and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-13 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the hidden human, emotional, and social dimensions of mathematics Mathematics is often thought of as the coldest expression of pure reason. But few subjects provoke hotter emotions—and inspire more love and hatred—than mathematics. And although math is frequently idealized as floating above the messiness of human life, its story is nothing if not human; often, it is all too human. Loving and Hating Mathematics is about the hidden human, emotional, and social forces that shape mathematics and affect the experiences of students and mathematicians. Written in a lively, accessible style, and filled with gripping stories and anecdotes, Loving and Hating Mathematics brings home the intense pleasures and pains of mathematical life. These stories challenge many myths, including the notions that mathematics is a solitary pursuit and a "young man's game," the belief that mathematicians are emotionally different from other people, and even the idea that to be a great mathematician it helps to be a little bit crazy. Reuben Hersh and Vera John-Steiner tell stories of lives in math from their very beginnings through old age, including accounts of teaching and mentoring, friendships and rivalries, love affairs and marriages, and the experiences of women and minorities in a field that has traditionally been unfriendly to both. Included here are also stories of people for whom mathematics has been an immense solace during times of crisis, war, and even imprisonment—as well as of those rare individuals driven to insanity and even murder by an obsession with math. This is a book for anyone who wants to understand why the most rational of human endeavors is at the same time one of the most emotional.
Download or read book Junior High School Mathematics Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Theodore Lindquist and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Junior High School Mathematics, Vol. 1 During the transition period of the Junior High School the pupil should be led to rationalize and to generalize. He should now be asked to discover and observe for himself the interrelationships found in his school activities and in the life about him. His mathematics from this point on should train him to study every question that arises from its quantitative side. He should be led to solve the various interrelated problems involving quantity as he sees them around him. Thrift and economy and social relationships are especially stressed in the problems and under suitable topics. Such a treatment lends itself to a continuous and progressive appeal to the child to know and to get the qualities that make for good citizenship. Therefore the au thor treats mathematics throughout as an instrument for use, and to that end problems and projects to which each mathematical principle is applied have been graded to con form to the successive stages of development of the child mind and of child activity.

Download or read book Mathematics Self Taught Vol 1 written by Heinrich Borchert Lubsen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mathematics Self-Taught, Vol. 1: The Lübsen Method for Self-Instruction, and Use in the Problems of Practical Life; Arithmetic and Algebra If it were possible to produce an introduction to the science of mathematics which should give a broad, comprehensive View and insight into this marvellous creation of the human mind, such a treatise could not fail to produce the most inspiriting effect upon the emotions of the student. But the innumerable variations and conditions which aecom pany all the details of this branch of knowledge make such a general view a practical impossibility. It is necessary to assume a certain amount of preliminary knowledge on the part of the beginner, in order to make even the simplest introduction intel ligible. Without a knowledge of the system of numeration no one can learn addition; without these, multiplication cannot be understood; while all are necessary for the study of division. So it goes on throughout the whole range of mathematics; the principles overlap and lead into each other. From the simplest propositions we advance step by step upwards, and the higher branches are accessible to all who have climbed the lower steps. No principle can be properly understood if one has not fully mastered everything which has preceded it and upon which each fact hangs like a link in the chain of which it forms a part. In fact the word Mathematics belongs not to one, but to several branches of knowledge, (arithmetic, Geometry, Mechanics, Optics, Astron omy, etc., etc.) each of which is daily extending its scope, and each of which is practically without limits. A true conception of the meaning of the term Mathematics, both in the pure and the applied branches of the science, can only be obtained by continuous and earnest study, but we canassure the student that every hour spent in the study possesses both a theoretical and practical value. Before entering upon the immediate subject, the following explanations will serve to give a notion of the first principles upon which all the others are founded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mental Arithmetic, Vol. 1 The complaints that business men are making of the lack of accuracy and thoroughness in the rising genera tion, would indicate a lack of system in prest iting the subject of arithmetic, or insufiicient drill to llnnly ground the principles presented. We have perhaps been taking up too many subjects, taking them up at the same time; and in the same lesson, and the result is unsatisfactory. We have been taking up subjects that require faculties which are not developed and do not naturally mature at an early period of the child's life. The old rule, One thing at a time, and rat done is being discarded, and we are of the opinion that this is being done at the sacrifice of the true development of the child.

Download or read book Commercial Algebra Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by George Wentworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commercial Algebra, Vol. 1 This book is intended for use in the first year of a commercial high school. It lays the foundation for that work in mathematics without which it is impossible for a student to attain the highest success in the technique of commerce. A man may have a genius for organization, he may employ others to do his mathematical work for him, and he may advance through a combination of circumstances, but if he is to master the technique of commercial life he must be able to think in algebra. There is not to-day a single line of commercial work in which the formula is not, or may not be, profitably used; and without a knowledge of the formula, of its value, and of its manipulation by the aid of the equation, a man cannot be a real master of any great commercial field. This knowledge of the formula is, however, no more vital than a knowledge of other parts of algebra, as, for example, the graph in its varied forms. Here is one of the several tools of mathematics which every business man needs and actually uses in his everyday business life. Algebra, then, may be said to be vital to successful training for commercial life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Everyday Arithmetic, Vol. 1 The work is arranged so that the pupils will acquire skill in com puting, but in approaching the formal aspects of the work, the book makes an important departure from the textbooks of the past. The problems and exercises are grouped by situations taken from actual experience, so that a child meets number as vitally related to his home and school interests. Each new process is taught in connec tion with a concrete situation requiring its use. Each group of prob lems is centered about a familiar activity. The advantages of this grouping are threefold: It gives a child insight into the purpose of number work and wins his hearty co operation; it breaks down the artificial barrier between the arith metic that is taught in the schoolroom and that which a child meets in his outside experience, so that the two become interwoven and both are enriched; further, it gives a child that which is of prime importance, power to use the number processes under conditions similar to those that confront him in life.

Download or read book Guide to Information Sources in Mathematics and Statistics written by Martha A. Tucker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-09-30 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a reference for librarians, mathematicians, and statisticians involved in college and research level mathematics and statistics in the 21st century. We are in a time of transition in scholarly communications in mathematics, practices which have changed little for a hundred years are giving way to new modes of accessing information. Where journals, books, indexes and catalogs were once the physical representation of a good mathematics library, shelves have given way to computers, and users are often accessing information from remote places. Part I is a historical survey of the past 15 years tracking this huge transition in scholarly communications in mathematics. Part II of the book is the bibliography of resources recommended to support the disciplines of mathematics and statistics. These are grouped by type of material. Publication dates range from the 1800's onwards. Hundreds of electronic resources-some online, both dynamic and static, some in fixed media, are listed among the paper resources. Amazingly a majority of listed electronic resources are free.
