Download or read book Selected Math Themes written by Félix González and published by Félix Enrique González Solano. This book was released on with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We continue with the series of Selected Mathematics Topics, designed for high school students. In this text we introduce the mathematical group concept, one of the most important mathematical theories of recent centuries. To achieve this, we begin in the first chapter by reviewing the concept of function between sets. In the second, third and fourth chapters we intuitively study the group concept, using examples of so-called permutation games, such as the Rubik's cube. Even, we see how the groups serve to solve some of these games, like the solitaire game. In the last chapters we introduce some musical terms that help us to see a group example in music.

Book excerpt: In the present text, we present a brief introduction to non-Euclidean geometries. We begin by presenting the foundations of classical geometry, and the discussion that gave rise to other geometries. There is an incredibly old example of an attempt to demonstrate the fifth postulate of Euclid due to Proclus, and part of Sacheri's work is retaken, to continue later with the achievements of Lobachevsky. In simple terms, the geometry to which we are accustomed, which is what we are taught from the basic studies, is the so-called classical geometry, which follows certain ideas that are taken as true facts and from there builds the veracity of other facts. In particular, the fifth postulate establishes the existence of lines that are called parallel, which are those that are never intercepted. Geometry arose from the need to understand the world around us, and from there arose the axioms of Euclidean geometry, but they were not entirely accurate. For example, in art we see that parallel lines are sometimes represented as intercepting lines on the horizon, at the so-called vanishing point.Apart from the non-Euclidean geometries we see other examples of geometry, the so-called friezes and mosaics. We conclude the book with a brief notion of topology and algebraic geometry.

Book excerpt: A little girl pitches in to help her tía save up for a big old car — and take the whole family to the beach — in a story told with warmth and sweetness. Tía Isa wants a car. A shiny green car the same color as the ocean, with wings like a swooping bird. A car to take the whole family to the beach. But saving is hard when everything goes into two piles — one for here and one for Helping Money, so that family members who live far away might join them someday. While Tía Isa saves, her niece does odd jobs for neighbors so she can add her earnings to the stack. But even with her help, will they ever have enough? Meg Medina’s simple, genuine story about keeping in mind those who are far away is written in lovely, lyrical prose and brought to life through Claudio Muñoz’s charming characters.

Download or read book Math Circle by the Bay written by Laura Givental and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on selected topics that the authors taught in math circles for elementary school students at the University of California, Berkeley; Stanford University; Dominican University (Marin County, CA); and the University of Oregon (Eugene). It is intended for people who are already running a math circle or who are thinking about organizing one. It can be used by parents to help their motivated, math-loving kids or by elementary school teachers. We also hope that bright fourth or fifth graders will be able to read this book on their own. The main features of this book are the logical sequence of the problems, the description of class reactions, and the hints given to kids when they get stuck. This book tries to keep the balance between two goals: inspire readers to invent their own original approaches while being detailed enough to work as a fallback in case the teacher needs to prepare a lesson on short notice. It introduces kids to combinatorics, Fibonacci numbers, Pascal's triangle, and the notion of area, among other things. The authors chose topics with deep mathematical context. These topics are just as engaging and entertaining to children as typical “recreational math” problems, but they can be developed deeper and to more advanced levels. In the interest of fostering a greater awareness and appreciation of mathematics and its connections to other disciplines and everyday life, MSRI and the AMS are publishing books in the Mathematical Circles Library series as a service to young people, their parents and teachers, and the mathematics profession.

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.
