This engaging, exciting introduction to early math concepts will be a sure-fire hit with young children. They can go on a Geometric Shape Hunt, measure with Pompoms, or find the Missing Numbers-just a few of the fun, simple activities you’ll find in Math in Minutes. The activities progress in difficulty within each chapter. Some activities offer a way to Take It Up a Level for children who want a challenge. Organized by math concept, each of the activities relates to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics standards and uses easy-to-find materials available in any classroom. Because assessment has become so important in education, each activity begins with Math Objectives that Meet Standards to help teachers meet the specific standards set by their state. The book’s unique tips and insights from an experienced teacher will help new and veteran teachers alike.

This leading mathematics text for elementary and middle school educators helps you quickly develop a true understanding of mathematical concepts. It integrates rich problem-solving strategies with relevant topics and extensive opportunities for hands-on experience. By progressing from the concrete to the pictorial to the abstract, Musser captures the way math is generally taught in elementary schools.brbrThis title will give you all the essentials mathematics teachers need for teaching at the elementary and middle school levels:ulliHighlights algebraic concepts throughout the text and includes additional supporting information.liProvides enhanced coverage of order of operations, Z-scores, union of two events, Least Common Multiple, and Greatest Common Factor.liFocuses on solid mathematical content in an accessible and appealing way.liOffers the largest collection of problems (over 3,000!), worked examples, and problem-solving strategies in any text of its kind.liIncludes a comprehensive, five-chapter treatment of geometry based on the van Hiele model./ul

This book is intended to be a systematic text on topological vector spaces and presupposes familiarity with the elements of general topology and linear algebra. Similarly, the elementary facts on Hilbert and Banach spaces are widely known and are not discussed in detail in this book, which is mainly addressed to those readers who have attained and wish to get beyond the introductory level. Each of the chapters is preceded by an introduction and followed by exercises. These exercises are devoted to further results and supplements, in particular, to examples and counter-examples. Hints have been given where it seemed appropriate. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and includes a new chapter on C* and W* algebras.The book has firmly established itself both as a superb introduction to the subject and as a very common source of reference. It is beccoming evident that the book itself will only become irrelevant and pale into insignificance when (and if!) the entire subject of topological vector spaces does. An attractive feature of the book is that it is essentially self-contained, and thus perfectly suitable for senior students having a basic training in the area of elementary functional analysis and set-theoretic topology. My view – let even possibly biased for sentimental resasons – is that the book under review would make for a very practical and useful addition to every matahemtaician’s personal office collection.brVladimir Pestov in Nesletter of the New Zealand Mathematical Society, August 2000pSecond EditionpH.H.

Physics and engineering students need a clear understanding of mathematics in order to solve a vast array of problems posed to them in coursework. Unfortunately, in many textbooks, mathematical proofs and techniques obscure a fundamental understanding of the physical principles. In a clear and didactic manner, this book explains to the student why particular advanced mathematical techniques are useful for solving certain problems. The aim is to convey a deeper appreciation of mathematical methods that are applicable to physics and engineering through a discussion of a wide range of real physical problems. The topics covered include simultaneous equations, three-dimensional geometry and vectors, complex numbers, differential equations, partial derivatives, Taylor series, and Lagrange multipliers.Professor Lyons has the ability to reach students and expand their minds mathematically. Journal of College Science TeachingPractical and entertaining maths for science, addressing the real world rather than dry theorems.

Jack stacks up blocks high. Two make a robot, five make a boat, and fifteen make…whatever you can imagine! Math becomes child”s play as young readers are introduced to the skill of counting on, a first step toward mastering addition.

Cinderella.2, the new version of the well-known interactive geometry software Cinderella, has become an even more versatile tool than its predecessor. The geometry part extends the functionality to such spectacular objects as dynamic fractals, and the software includes two major new components: physical simulation such as of mechanical objects, virtual electronic devices, and electromagnetic properties. The other new components feature algorithms via a specially developed scripting language, which interacts smoothly with the geometry and physics components. Cinderella.2 is Math in Motion all the way.

This supplementary worktext series teaches math students how to solve the kinds of word problems found on today’s standardized and proficiency tests. The curriculum for this series is based on NCTM standrads and fits well with all major basal math programs.
