This book will help pre-service and in-service teachers learn the new practices with which to teach the creative child. These practices are steeped in theory and also provide mechanisms to identify creative students. This book provides the methods with which to motivate and teach the creative child, with an understanding of the types of barriers that likely will stifle productivity in the educational environment. The book also presents innovative material to use in the classroom for the disciplines of art, poetry, theatre, math, science, and reading. For any teacher or educator.

From the reviews of the third edition:pAs is very typical for Professor Langa (TM)s self demand and style of publishing, he has tried to both improve and up-date his already well-established text. a ] Numerous examples and exercises accompany this now already classic primer of modern algebra, which as usual, reflects the authora (TM)s great individuality just as much as his unrivalled didactic mastery and his care for profound mathematical education at any level. a ] The present textbook a ] will remain one of the great standard introductions to the subject for beginners. (Werner Kleinert, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1063, 2005)Undergraduate Algebra is a text for the standard undergraduate algebra course. It concentrates on the basic structures and results of algebra, discussing groups, rings, modules, fields, polynomials, finite fields, Galois Theory, and other topics. The author has also included a chapter on groups of matrices which is unique in a book at this level. Throughout the book, the author strikes a balance between abstraction and concrete results, which enhance each other. Illustrative examples accompany the general theory. Numerous exercises range from the computational to the theoretical, complementing results from the main text.pFor the third edition, the author has included new material on product structure for matrices (e.g. the Iwasawa and polar decompositions), as well as a description of the conjugation representation of the diagonal group. He has also added material on polynomials, culminating in Noah Snydera (TM)s proof of the Mason-Stothers polynomial abc theorem.pAbout the First Edition:brpThe exposition is down-to-earth and at the same time very smooth. The book can be covered easily in a one-year course and can be also used in a one-term course…the flavor of modern mathematics is sprinkled here and there.p- Hideyuki Matsumura, Zentralblatt

The author team of Dave Sobecki, Angela Matthews, and Allan Bluman have worked together to create the second edition of Mathematics in Our World, an engaging text catered to the needs of todays liberal arts mathematics students. This revision focuses strict attention to a clear and friendly writing style, integration of numerous relevant real-world examples and applications, and implementation of the step-by-step approach used for years in Blumans Elementary Statistics: A Step by Step Approach. The result is an exceptionally engaging text that is able to both effectively and creatively convey the basic concepts fundamental to a liberal arts math curriculum for even the most hesitant student.

DIVThe three-year-long transformation of Lawrence Heights Middle School from an underachieving, gang-ridden school with a high teacher attrition rate to a thriving, diverse school whose reading, writing, and math scores rated above average in the province is described in this personal account by the school’s agent of change: the principal. Anecdotal stories of students throwing library books out the window during the principal’s first tour of the school accompany inspiring stories of students who excelled beyond the expectations of a community dominated by public-housing complexes. Practical theories and real-life applications from a leading expert on inner-city revitalization offer hope and strategies for instilling pride and dignity in at-risk students.br/divDIVbChristopher M.

Included in this book are three full-length practice exams based on the most recently administered CLEP examination. Every exam question is answered with detailed explanations. Also included is an extensive math review that covers all the major principles, types of equations, and mathematical theorems encountered on the exam. A coaching guide that covers how to approach difficult problems in math is also provided.

In 1894, forty percent of college freshmen enrolled in pre-collegiate programs to prepare for regular college coursework. In Fall 1995, twenty-nine percent of entering freshmen enrolled in at least one remedial course. The debate over the need for, and appropriateness of, remedial/developmental education at the postsecondary level has spanned a century. The upcoming 1998 Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act has added fuel to the debate. Legislators, educators, and the general public are asking questions and raising accountability issues. Who needs remedial/developmental education? Why does the need for it appear to be increasing? How much does it cost? Who should pay for it? Are remedial/developmental programs effective? Who should provide it? Legislators and the public are upset over the perception that they are paying twice for the same education— once in high school and once again in college. Educators are concerned about the potential devaluation of higher education through the provision of large amounts of remedial/developmental education. And students, too, are unhappy with the time and expense necessary to develop English and math skills that they should have learned in high school. Each chapter of this volume addresses a specific policy question involved in the debate over remedial/developmental education and uses national and state data, as well as information from case studies of individual institutions, to provide insights into effective approaches to remedial/developmental education. This is the one hundredth issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Community Colleges. For more information on the series, please see the Journals and Periodicals section.

Since the 1980s, a general theme in the study of high-temperature superconductors has been to test the BCS theory and its predictions against new data. At the same time, this process has engendered new physics, new materials, and new theoretical frameworks. Remarkable advances have occurred in sample quality and in single crystals, in hole and electron doping in the development of sister compounds with lower transition temperatures, and in instruments to probe structure and dynamics. Handbook of High-Temperature Superconductvity is a comprehensive and in-depth treatment of both experimental and theoretical methodologies by the the world’s top leaders in the field. The Editor, Nobel Laureate J. Robert Schrieffer, and Associate Editor James S. Brooks, have produced a unified, coherent work providing a global view of high-temperature superconductivity covering the materials, the relationships with heavy-fermion and organic systems, and the many formidable challenges that remain.From the reviews:pThis handbook is devoted to recent advances in the study of various important processes occurring in high-temperature superconductivity. a ] This book is strongly recommended to researchers in Mathematical Physics and Applied Mathematics interested in nonlinear phenomena but it may be also useful and comprehensive for a broader community of mathematicians, physicists, and engineers. a ] the present book is one of the most important works in its field that have been written in the last decade.
