A challenge of numbers: people in the mathematical sciences
by National Research Council (U.S.)., Mathematical Sciences Education Board, National Research Council (U.S.)., Board on Mathematical Sciences, Madison, Bernard L., Hart, Therese A., Committee on the Mathematical Sciences in the Year 2000
The author focuses on how mathematics is created rather than on mathematical facts and teaches the subject without requiring memorization or any mathematical knowledge beyond basic computation.
Containing a large and varied set of problems, this rich resource will allow students to stretch their mathematical abilities beyond the school syllabus, and bridge the gap to university-level mathematics. Many proofs are provided to better equip students for the transition to u…
This book serves up a variety of problems and shows how mathematics answers them. Topics range from cracking codes to the persistence of recessive genes.
"Andrew Hacker's 2012 New York Times op-ed questioning our current mathematics requirements instantly became one of the the paper's most widely circulated articles. Why, he wondered, do we inflict algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and even calculus on all young Americans, regardl…
Developing mathematical thinking is one of major aims of mathematics education. In mathematics education research, there are a number of researches which describe what it is and how we can observe in experimental research. However, teachers have difficulties developing it in the…
A brilliant research mathematician who has devoted his career to teaching kids reveals math to be creative and beautiful and rejects standard anxiety-producing teaching methods. Witty and accessible, Paul Lockhart's controversial approach will provoke spirited debate among educa…

The philosophy of mathematics is an exciting subject. Philosophy of Mathematics: Classic and Contemporary Studies explores the foundations of mathematical thought. The aim of this book is to encourage young mathematicians to think about the philosophical issues behind fundamenta…
"Covering more than 80 key mathematical theories from prime numbers and matrices to logarithms and quadratic equations, each pared-back, single-page entry explains the concept more clearly than ever before"--
Each year, over 1,000,000 students take college-level courses below calculus such as pre-calculus, college algebra and others that fulfill general education requirements. Most college algebra courses, and certainly all pre-calculus courses, were originally intended to prepare st…
"This book will provide practical methods for learning Algebra. It will emphasize conceptual understanding that will allow students to make connections to what they learned before and what they will learn in the future. It will present Algebra as a logical and consistent system …
