Mathematics

Posted by on Saturday, 19 March, 2011

Since its initial publication, MATHEMATICS: A GOOD BEGINNING has set the standard for math methods books. More than just a textbook, this is a complete instructional program that serves a multitude of curriculum needs. The book has been praised for its depth and clarity, its imaginative activities, and its attentiveness to the philosophy and recommendations of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). This edition is solidly grounded in the latest research on how children learn mathematics and how teachers develop attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge that promote successful teaching.

 

The Black-White Test Score Gap

Posted by on Saturday, 19 March, 2011

The large gap between blacks and whites — on vocabulary, reading, and math tests, as well as on tests that claim to measure scholastic aptitude and intelligence — has far-reaching social and economic consequences. The editors of this book argue that eliminating the disparity would dramatically reduce economic and educational inequality between blacks and whites. Indeed, they think that closing the gap would do more to promote racial than any other strategy now under serious discussion.

Clifford Algebra

Posted by on Saturday, 19 March, 2011

Clifford algebras have become an indispensable tool for physicists at the cutting edge of theoretical investigations. Applications in physics range from special relativity and the rotating top at one end of the spectrum, to general relativity and Dirac”s equation for the electron at the other. Clifford algebras have also become a virtual necessity in some areas of physics, and their usefulness is expanding in other areas, such as algebraic manipulations involving Dirac matrices in quantum thermodynamics; Kaluza-Klein theories and dimensional renormalization theories; and the formation of superstring theories. This book, aimed at beginning graduate students in physics and math, introduces readers to the techniques of Clifford algebras.

Computational Methods in Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry

Posted by on Friday, 18 March, 2011

From the reviews: … Many parts of the book can be read by anyone with a basic abstract algebra course… it was one of the author’s intentions to equip students who are interested in computational problems with the necessary algebraic background in pure mathematics and to encourage them to do further research in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. But researchers will also benefit from this exposition. They will find an up-to-date description of the related research … The reviewer recommends the book to anybody who is interested in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry and its computational aspects. Math. Reviews 2002 … a sophisticated notebook, with plenty of suggestions, examples and cross references … It is a welcome new and deep exploration into commutative algebra and its relations with algebraic geometry. It is full of results, from simple tricks to more elaborate constructions, all having in common a computational and constructive nature… Jahresberichte der DMV 1999
