Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This survey focuses on the main trends in the field of calculus education. Despite their variety, the findings reveal a cornerstone issue that is strongly linked to the formalism of calculus concepts and to the difficulties it generates in the learning and teaching process. As a complement to the main text, an extended bibliography with some of the most important references on this topic is included. Since the diversity of the research in the field makes it difficult to produce an exhaustive state-of-the-art summary, the authors discuss recent developments that go beyond this survey and put forward new research questions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for people who teach calculus – and especially for people who teach student teachers, who will in turn teach calculus. The calculus considered is elementary calculus of a single variable. The book interweaves ideas for teaching with calculus content and provides a reader-friendly overview of research on learning and teaching calculus along with questions on educational and mathematical discussion topics. Written by a group of international authors with extensive experience in teaching and research on learning/teaching calculus both at the school and university levels, the book offers a variety of approaches to the teaching of calculus so that you can decide the approach for you. Topics covered include A history of calculus and how calculus differs over countries today Making sense of limits and continuity, differentiation, integration and the fundamental theorem of calculus (chapters on these areas form the bulk of the book) The ordering of calculus concepts (should limits come first?) Applications of calculus (including differential equations) The final chapter looks beyond elementary calculus. Recurring themes across chapters include whether to take a limit or a differential/infinitesimal approach to calculus and the use of digital technology in the learning and teaching of calculus. This book is essential reading for mathematics teacher trainers everywhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Calculus This book is adapted to the use of students in the first year in technical school or college, and is based upon the experience of the authors in teaching calculus to students in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology immediately upon entrance. It is accordingly assumed that the student has had college-entrance algebra, including graphs, and an elementary course in trigonometry, but that he has not studied analytic geometry. The first three chapters form an introductory course in which the fundamental ideas of the calculus are introduced, including derivative, differential, and the definite integral, but the formal work is restricted to that involving only the polynomial. These chapters alone are well fitted for a short course of about a term. The definition of the derivative is obtained through the concept of speed, using familiar illustrations, and the idea of a derivative as measuring the rate of change of related quantities is emphasized. The slope of a curve is introduced later. This is designed to prevent the student from acquiring the notion that the derivative is fundamentally a geometric concept. For the same reason, problems from mechanics are prominent throughout the book. With Chapter IV a more formal development of the subject begins, and certain portions of analytic geometry are introduced as needed. These include, among other things, the straight line, the conic sections, the cycloid, and polar coordinates. The book contains a large number of well-graded exercises for the student. Drill exercises are placed at the end of most sections, and a miscellaneous set of exercises, for review or further work, is found at the end of each chapter except the first.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of teachers in the U.S. often document insufficient subject matter knowledge in mathematics. Yet, these studies give few examples of the knowledge teachers need to support teaching, particularly the kind of teaching demanded by recent reforms in mathematics education. Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics describes the nature and development of the knowledge that elementary teachers need to become accomplished mathematics teachers, and suggests why such knowledge seems more common in China than in the United States, despite the fact that Chinese teachers have less formal education than their U.S. counterparts. The anniversary edition of this bestselling volume includes the original studies that compare U.S and Chinese elementary school teachers’ mathematical understanding and offers a powerful framework for grasping the mathematical content necessary to understand and develop the thinking of school children. Highlighting notable changes in the field and the author’s work, this new edition includes an updated preface, introduction, and key journal articles that frame and contextualize this seminal work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Place of the Elementary Calculus in the Senior High-School Mathematics: And Suggestions for a Modern Presentation of the Subject Even a little less than a decade ago, the trained teacher of high school mathematics had the pleasure of teaching real mathematics as found in such subjects as trigonometry, solid and plane geometry, and advanced and elementary algebra. It is doubtless true that this kind of work was inclining too much toward formalism and that the needs of the learner were not being given sufficient attention. The strong reaction against formalism in general in education during the decade just past made the position of any genuine mathematics in our high schools very precarious. This threatened elimination of all real mathematics in our high schools was viewed with regret by those of us who had had the pleasure of starting many a pupil with a vigorous mind upon his mathematical way; and a number of prom inent educators who are especially interested in the teaching of mathematics have been working toward a readjustment of the mathematics curriculum so that it will fit into and fulfill its mission in the changed conditions as found in our schools to-day. The following study is the author's contribution toward this attempted readjustment. The kind of mathematics that should be taught in the first six school years has been definitely settled; the main points of the work in mathematics that should be included in the junior high-school period have been agreed upon; and the author hopes that his study will be of some value in helping us to formulate the content of the mathematics curriculum of the senior high school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Calculus: A Text-Book for the Use of Students in General Science This volume has been written in response to the unmistakable and growing demand for a text-book on the Calculus which shall present in a course of from thirty-five to forty exercises the fundamental notions of this branch of mathematics. In American technical schools students pursuing courses distinct from engineering branches usually terminate their mathematical studies with Plane Analytic Geometry. But in view of the recent remarkable development of certain of the general sciences along mathematical lines, such a course can no longer be regarded as adequate. Moreover, there can be no difference of opinion as to the relative advantage to the student of a knowledge of more than the mere elements of Analytic Geometry and an introductory acquaintance with the Calculus. It is, I think, the experience of every teacher that the average student first realizes the power and use of mathematics when taught to solve problems in maxima and minima by means of the methods of the Differential Calculus. Certainly no stronger argument can be adduced in favor of an adjustment of the curriculum which shall include this branch of mathematics. Such a change has been effected in the Sheffield Scientific School, and results abundantly justify the step.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we discuss the (potentially positive) pedagogical role of intrinsic limitations of computational descriptions for mathematical concepts, with special focus on the concept of derivative. Our claim is that, in a suitable approach, those limitations can act for the enrichment of learners' concept images. We report a case study with a first year undergraduate student and place this in a broader empirical and theoretical context. (Contains 6 figures.) [For complete proceedings, see ED500859.].
