This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Educational Significance of Sixteenth Century Arithmetic: From the Point of View of the Present Time is a history text written by Dr. Lambert Lincoln Jackson. The work is an examination of the early teaching of arithmetic in the United States. Jackson's book is about the impact of sixteenth century teaching methods and how they influenced later understandings and approaches to the pedagogy of arithmetic. This is an academic text, presented as a dissertation by the author. The work is divided into two parts, part one presenting the results of Jackson's research into historical teaching methods of arithmetic, and part two using these findings to examine the impact of sixteenth century teaching methods on the teaching of arithmetic in the late 1800s and early 1900s. As with any academic text, a detailed bibliography is presented to accompany the work. The Educationa Significance of Sixteenth Century Arithmetic is a thoroughly researched examination of its topic. Jackson acknowledges in the preface that little work had been done on the history of sixteenth century arithmetic teaching methods, and so this dissertation thus serves a dual purpose: not only to create a detailed history, but also to analyze its implications. Jackson is a skilled academic with a mind for critical thinking. Students and scholars of educational history will surely find The Educational Significance of Six Sixteenth Century Arithmetic: From the Point of View of the Present Time to be a fascinating read. Jackson created the first detailed history of the subject matter, and it is one that remains relevant to this day. While this work may not be ideal for light reading, it is certainly an important piece of research. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The result of a research into the subject matter and teaching of arithmetic in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries; and an exposition of the bearing of the arithmetic of that period upon the present teaching of the subject. -Teachers College Bulletin [1910] * * * * * From the PREFACE. Although there is much material on the history of sixteenth century arithmetic, comparatively little has been written on the teaching of the subject at that time, and less upon the educational significance of that teaching from the point of view of the present. This dissertation is the result of a research into the arithmetic of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries for the purpose of showing its bearing upon the present teaching of the subject. The exact period chosen is that from 1478, the date of the first printed arithmetic, to 1600, because between these dates arithmetic took on the form which it retained for three centuries, besides setting forth for the first time its educational functions. So little was written at that time on the educational values of studies that it is necessary to examine with unusual care the treatises and text-books on arithmetic in order to determine the principles and aims which guided their authors in creating them. No general history of mathematics can be of use in a research of this kind, unless it contains extensive extracts from the original sources, and there is only one such work, namely, that of Cantor.1 But, if one were to depend upon Cantor for a treatment of sixteenth century arithmetic, he would obtain an exhaustive knowledge of the leading writers only, whereas the great mass of minor works is necessary to supply a large portion of the data needed to determine the educational significance of the subject. No one has expressed more clearly than De Morgan the relative value of major and minor works for the purpose of interpreting history. "Unfortunately, history must of necessity be written mostly upon those works Which, by being in advance of their age, have therefore become well known. It ought to be otherwise, but it cannot be, without better preservation and classification of the minor works which people actually use, and from which the great mass of those who study take their habits and opinions; -or- until the historian has at his command a readier access to second and third rate works in large numbers; so that he may write upon the effects as well as the causes." Other general histories of mathematics like those of Kastner, Suter, Hankel," Günther,4 and Gerhardt8 contain very brief expositions of the arithmetic of the Renaissance, and all having been written before Cantor's work furnish little, if anything, of importance not covered by him.

Download or read book How Math Works written by G. Arnell Williams and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We hear all the time how American children are falling behind their global peers in various basic subjects, but particularly in math. Is it our fear of math that constrains us? Or our inability to understand math’s place in relation to our everyday lives? How can we help our children better understand the basics of arithmetic if we’re not really sure we understand them ourselves? Here, G. Arnell Williams helps parents and teachers explore the world of math that their elementary school children are learning. Taking readers on a tour of the history of arithmetic, and its growth into the subject we know it to be today, Williams explores the beauty and relevance of mathematics by focusing on the great conceptual depth and genius already inherent in the elementary mathematics familiar to us all, and by connecting it to other well-known areas such as language and the conceptual aspects of everyday life. The result is a book that will help you to better explain mathematics to your children. For those already well versed in these areas, the book offers a tour of the great conceptual and historical facts and assumptions that most simply take for granted. If you are someone who has always struggled with mathematics either because you couldn’t do it or because you never really understood why the rules are the way they are, if you were irritated with the way it was taught to you with the emphasis being only on learning the rules and “recipes” by rote as opposed to obtaining a good conceptual understanding, then How Math Works is for you!

Download or read book Samuel Pepys Isaac Newton James Hodgson and the Beginnings of Secondary School Mathematics written by Nerida F. Ellerton and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells one of the greatest stories in the history of school mathematics. Two of the names in the title—Samuel Pepys and Isaac Newton—need no introduction, and this book draws attention to their special contributions to the history of school mathematics. According to Ellerton and Clements, during the last quarter of the seventeenth century Pepys and Newton were key players in defining what school mathematics beyond arithmetic and elementary geometry might look like. The scene at which most of the action occurred was Christ’s Hospital, which was a school, ostensibly for the poor, in central London. The Royal Mathematical School (RMS) was established at Christ’s Hospital in 1673. It was the less well-known James Hodgson, a fine mathematician and RMS master between 1709 and 1755, who demonstrated that topics such as logarithms, plane and spherical trigonometry, and the application of these to navigation, might systematically and successfully be taught to 12- to 16-year-old school children. From a wider history-of-school-education perspective, this book tells how the world’s first secondary-school mathematics program was created and how, slowly but surely, what was being achieved at RMS began to influence school mathematics in other parts of Great Britain, Europe, and America. The book has been written from the perspective of the history of school mathematics. Ellerton and Clements’s analyses of pertinent literature and of archival data, and their interpretations of those analyses, have led them to conclude that RMS was the first major school in the world to teach mathematics-beyond-arithmetic, on a systematic basis, to students aged between 12 and 16. Throughout the book, Ellerton and Clements examine issues through the lens of a lag-time theoretical perspective. From a historiographical perspective, this book emphasizes how the history of RMS can be portrayed in very different ways, depending on the vantage point from which the history is written. The authors write from the vantage point of international developments in school mathematics education and, therefore, their history of RMS differs from all other histories of RMS, most of which were written from the perspective of the history of Christ’s Hospital.
