DIVAn eloquent, utterly charming guide to discovering the interconnectedness of mathematics./DivDIVWhy seemingly unrelated mathematical truths are connected in simple and beautiful equations continues to stump even mathematicians. This recreational math book takes the reader on a fantastic voyage into the world of natural numbers. From the earliest discoveries of the ancient Greeks to various fundamental characteristics of the natural number sequence, Clawson explains fascinating mathematical mysteries in clear and easy prose. He delves into the heart of number theory to see and understand the exquisite relationships among natural numbers, and ends by exploring the ultimate mystery of mathematics: the Riemann hypothesis, which says that through a point in a plane, no line can be drawn parallel to a given line.While a professional mathematicians treatment of number theory involves the most sophisticated analytical tools, its basic ideas are surprisingly easy to comprehend. By concentrating on the meaning behind various equations and proofs and avoiding technical refinements,IMathematical Mysteries/Ilets the common reader catch a glimpse of this wonderful and exotic world./DivDIVBCalvin C.

A great new way to get all students in grades 5 and up excited about math! Fantasy sports are a hit worldwide with over 17 million participants in the U.S. alone.Now teachers and parents can take advantage of this phenomenon to give students a reason to look forward to learning math. Choose from baseball, football, basketball and soccer to plan lessons that last for a week or a whole season, and teach one math concept or many.Students create fantasy teams by picking their favorite real-life players, they follow their player s statistics, and they calculate their teams total points using algebraic or non-algebraic methods specifically designed to complement the math skills they are learning. The instructions are easy to follow and the dynamic hands-on games address all learning styles and abilities. In addition to the basic fantasy games, there are reproducible worksheets representing over 40 math concepts, graphing activities, quizzes, lesson plans, and an answer key, all complementing the national math standards. The student workbooks include all the reproducibles from the Teacher and Parent Guides. Dan Flockhart, MEd (Fortuna, CA) is a teacher at College of the Redwoods in Eureka, California, and was a middle school math teacher when he first incorporated fantasy sports into his math curriculum. He presents his innovative method of teaching math and fantasy sportsconventions, and maintains a Web site that includes a support forum for teachers as well as contests for students at www.fantasysportsmath.com.
From the reviews:pIt deals with boundary value problems and singular integrals using Clifford analytic methods. One of its merits is the accessibility in English of several results published up to now only in Chinese. a ] The references include articles and books by 90 authors. a ] this is an interesting book a ] it may be recommended to the specialist. (Klaus Habetha, Zentrablatt MATH, Vol. 1096 (22), 2006)Clifford analysis, a branch of mathematics that has been developed since about 1970, has important theoretical value and several applications. In this book, the authors introduce many properties of regular functions and generalized regular functions in real Clifford analysis, as well as harmonic functions in complex Clifford analysis. It covers important developments in handling the incommutativity of multiplication in Clifford algebra, the definitions and computations of high-order singular integrals, boundary value problems, and so on. In addition, the book considers harmonic analysis and boundary value problems in four kinds of characteristic fields proposed by Luogeng Hua for complex analysis of several variables. The great majority of the contents originate in the authorsa (TM) investigations, and this new monograph will be interesting for researchers studying the theory of functions.

This book addresses many topics that are important to students who want to succeed in mathematics. A major part of this book has been devoted to taking a proactive approach and eliminating the anxiety. Many publishers support their textbooks with numerous tutorials, and many tutorial services are available. However, not every tutorial is appropriate for every student, so a detailed analysis of the resources available has been added. Getting the right help is important. The wrong help may waste valuable time. Learning mathematics requires different study skills than most other subjects, in particular: breaking difficult problems into parts, understanding application problems, and using the technology available. Transitioning to college and what changes are needed to succeed in college mathematics classes is also a feature of this book. Whatever difficulties a student is having in mathematics, valuable help is here, within the pages of this book!
