This book identifies and examines two big ideas and related essential understandings for teaching multiplication and division in grades 3-5. Big Idea 1 captures the notion that multiplication is usefully defined as a scalar operation. Problem situations modeled by multiplication…
"Mathematics and Sports", edited by Joseph A. Gallian, gathers 25 articles that illuminate the power and role of mathematics in the worlds of professional and recreational play. Divided into sections by the kind of sports, the book offers source materials for classroom use and s…
“Les Levine: Disposable Art, Technology, and Media, 1964–1971” traces how technology took shape as a material form and node of inquiry in art practice of the 1960s and 1970s through the work and writings of conceptual artist Les Levine. The study focuses on the stakes of making …
In the turn of a new digital era, processes of design have advanced with new modes of analysis and form generation. New systems of parametric design promote the articulation of new design philosophies, giving rise to new forms of spatial designation and social interaction. The h…
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 23rd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation, ISAAC 2012, held in Taipei, Taiwan, in December 2012. The 68 revised full papers presented together with three invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected fro…

The book comprises 20 chapters dealing with the following subjects: mathematical models for languages and computation; sets; sequences; relations; functions; graphs; classical models; finite automata; context-free grammars; pushdown automata; Turing machines; computability; deci…
Mathematical models are used to simulate, and sometimes control, the behavior of physical and artificial processes such as the weather and very large-scale integration (VLSI) circuits. The increasing need for accuracy has led to the development of highly complex models. However,…
Computational Intelligence: A Logical Approach provides a unique and integrated introduction to artificial intelligence. It weaves a unifying theme - an intelligent agent acting in its environment - through the core issues of AI, placing them into a coherent framework. Rather th…
