Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of Robert Recorde's The Pathway to Knowledge was printed in London, at the sign of the Brazen Serpent, by Reynold Wolfe in 1551. This book is the earliest work on geometry in the English language and was used as a standard textbook well into the middle of the seventeenth century. Recorde's prose is delightfully rhythmical and his poetical phrasing perhaps made learning less of a chore than otherwise for his studious readers. That he well knew this book, although modelled after Euclid, was breaking new ground is evidenced by his statement in the preface to the theorems: 'For nother is there anie matter more straunge in the english tongue, than this whereof never booke was written before now, in that tongue, and therefore oughte to delite all them, that desire to understand straunge matters, as most men commonlie doo'. Recorde encountered an unexpected difficulty when setting out to teach Euclidean geometry to English readers. He found that the English language did not (at that time) have a sufficiency of technical terms. But rather than use longstanding Latin or Greek words, he invented his own English equivalents. So for example, obtuse angles are 'blunt corners', an equilateral triangle is a 'threelike' and a square is a 'likeside'. Unfortunately, Recorde's terminology was not taken up and did not survive the passage of time. Hence schoolchildren in geometry lessons today have to wrestle with difficult Latin words like tangent, instead of Recorde's much more homely and easily understood 'touch line'. The mathematical text itself is extremely lucid in both exposition and diagrams, proceeding from a list of definitions through forty-six constructions and seventy-seven theorems. At the start of the definitions is the statement that 'Geometry teacheth the drawyng, measuring and proporcion of figures' and history produced no finer or more eloquent tutor in the subject than Robert Recorde.

Download or read book The Pathway to Peace and Joy written by Amy E. Socha R.N. and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-07-17 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through much effort and research over the past nineteen years, Amy Socha has done her very best to demonstrate the overwhelming proofs of the authenticity, accuracy, and wisdom of the ancient biblical writings. There is a great amount of evidence from archaeologists, historians, theologians, biblical prophecy, and even scientific discoveries. These proofs lead us to the conclusion that only God could have inspired the words of the many writers directly through their thought processes. Many of these writers were true witnesses of the many details involved in both the humanity and divinity of Jesus Christ, and those details are all described in this manuscript. A careful study of both the Old Testament and New Testament Scriptures reveals identical words and passages in both sets of scrolls. This means that the New Testament writings are an exact fulfillment of the writings of the Old Testament. (the Tanakh) In both, there are truly many instances in which God, in His perfect wisdom, illustrated the promise of a Messiah as the "way" to obtain salvation of our souls and eternal life in heaven and how He has already kept that promise in the person of Jesus Christ. Amy reveals how many of life's difficulties can be prevented and how many problems can be solved. She describes how to have a meaningful relationship with Jesus and the many blessings obtained through that relationship. These blessings are all meant to give each of you peace and joy in this life and in eternal life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book leads you through the process of designing a learning-centered course. It is written as a “how-to” handbook, providing step-by-step guidance on creating a pathway to student learning, including 26 workboxes (also available free online) that lead you through each element of the course design process and promote a rich reflection process akin to being in a workshop setting. The authors prompt you to (1) consider the distinctive characteristics of your students; (2) clearly articulate your course learning goals; (3) create aligned summative assessments; (4) identify the specific knowledge, skills, and attitudes students will need in order to be successful; (5) craft effective learning experiences, informed by the well-documented research on how people learn; and (6) incorporate formative assessment to ensure you and your students are staying on track. Completion of the sequence of worksheets leads to a poster as a visual display of your course design. This graphic depiction of your course ties the components together, provides a clear map of action for teaching your course, for modifying as you evaluate the success of particular strategies or want to introduce new concepts, and for developing your syllabus. A rubric for evaluating course posters is included.For faculty developers, this book provides a proven and ready-made resource and text around which to design or redesign learner-centered course design workshops or multi-day course design retreats, replicating or modifying the renowned workshop that the authors have developed at the Air Force Academy for both faculty new to teaching and those with many years of teaching experience under their belt.

Download or read book THE PATHWAY TO GREATNESS written by GODSWORD GODSWILL ONU and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-03-29 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one is great but God; for what is man, who dies the moment his breath is gone from him? But God can make you 'great' in the sense of making you outstanding and highly placed among men. And you must know that without God, you cannot achieve anything; therefore all glory and praise must go to God for whatever He accomplishes (or helps you to accomplish) in your life or ministry. It is not of him who runs nor of him who wills, but of the Lord God Almighty, Who shows mercy, gives grace, and sustains life! Speaking to David, God said, "I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people Israel. And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a name like the name of the great men who are on the earth" (1 Chron. 17:7-8). God can make you great and distinguished among men, as long as you recognize that man is nothing before God.
