Book SynopsisFor more than two thousand years a familiarity with mathematics has been regarded as an indispensable part of the intellectual equipment of every cultured person. Today, unfortunately, the traditional place of mathematics in education is in grave danger. The teaching and learning of mathematics has degenerated into the realm of rote memorization, the outcome of which leads to satisfactory formal ability but does not lead to real understanding or to greater intellectual independence. This new edition of Richard Courant''s and Herbert Robbins''s classic work seeks to address this problem. Its goal is to put the meaning back into mathematics. Written for beginners and scholars, for students and teachers, for philosophers and engineers, What is Mathematics?, Second Edition is a sparkling collection of mathematical gems that offers an entertaining and accessible portrait of the mathematical world. Covering everything from natural numbers and the number system to geometrical constructions and projective geometry, from topology and calculus to matters of principle and the Continuum Hypothesis, this fascinating survey allows readers to delve into mathematics as an organic whole rather than an empty drill in problem solving. With chapters largely independent of one another and sections that lead upward from basic to more advanced discussions, readers can easily pick and choose areas of particular interest without impairing their understanding of subsequent parts. Brought up to date with a new chapter by Ian Stewart, What is Mathematics?, Second Edition offers new insights into recent mathematical developments and describes proofs of the Four-Color Theorem and Fermat''s Last Theorem, problems that were still open when Courant and Robbins wrote this masterpiece, but ones that have since been solved. Formal mathematics is like spelling and grammar--a matter of the correct application of local rules. Meaningful mathematics is like journalism--it tells an interesting story. But unlike some journalism, the story has to be true. The best mathematics is like literature--it brings a story to life before your eyes and involves you in it, intellectually and emotionally. What is Mathematics is like a fine piece of literature--it opens a window onto the world of mathematics for anyone interested to view.Trade ReviewCan...be read with great profit by anyone desiring general mathematical literacy. * Mathematics Abstracts *A great book. * Ludwig Otto, Paul Quinn College *A lucid representation of the fundamental concepts and methods of the whole field of mathematics. It is an easily understandable introduction for the layman and helps to give the mathematical student a general view of the basic principles and methods. * Albert Einstein *Without doubt, the work will have great influence. It should be in the hands of everyone, professional or otherwise, who is interested in scientific thinking. * The New York Times *A work of extraordinary perfection. * Mathematical Reviews *It contains an excellent selection of material for students who have no desire to develop mathematical skills but who may be willing to look briefly into this field of intellectual activity....For the inquiring student who wishes to know what real mathematics is about, or for the trained engineer or physicist who has some interest in the justification of procedures he uses, it should prove a source of great pleasure and satisfaction. * Journal of Applied Physics *This book is a work of art. * Marston Morse *This is not a book in philosophy; but there are probably few philosophers who can not gain instruction and clarification from it. It succeeds brilliantly in conveying the intellectual excitement of mathematical inquiry and in communicating the essential ideas and methods."Journal of PhilosophyIt is a work of high perfection, whether judged by aesthetic, pedagogical or scientific standards. It is astonishing to what extent What is Mathematics? has succeeded in making clear by means of the simplest examples all the fundamental ideas and methods which we mathematicians consider the life blood of our science. * Herman Weyl *Still a book that all prospective mathematics teachers should read and experience. A rare book that has retained its "freshness" and readability for more than 50 years....Very readable. * Stephen Krulik, Temple University *

Book SynopsisThe true story of eighteenth-century mathematician Sophie Germain, who solved the unsolvable to achieve her dream. When her parents took away her candles to keep their young daughter from studying math...nothing stopped Sophie. When a professor discovered that the homework sent to him under a male pen name came from a woman...nothing stopped Sophie. And when she tackled a math problem that male scholars said would be impossible to solve...still, nothing stopped Sophie. For six years, Sophie Germain used her love of math and her undeniable determination to test equations that would predict patterns of vibrations. She eventually became the first woman to win a grand prize from France's prestigious Academy of Sciences for her formula, which laid the groundwork for much of modern architecture (and can be seen in the book's illustrations).

Book SynopsisThis engaging book offers an in-depth introduction to teaching mathematics through problem-solving, providing lessons and techniques that can be used in classrooms for both primary and lower secondary grades. Based on the innovative and successful Japanese approaches of Teaching Through Problem-solving (TTP) and Collaborative Lesson Research (CLR), renowned mathematics education scholar Akihiko Takahashi demonstrates how these teaching methods can be successfully adapted in schools outside of Japan. TTP encourages students to try and solve a problem independently, rather than relying on the format of lectures and walkthroughs provided in classrooms across the world. Teaching Mathematics Through Problem-Solving gives educators the tools to restructure their lesson and curriculum design to make creative and adaptive problem-solving the main way students learn new procedures. Takahashi showcases TTP lessons for elementary and secondary classrooms, showing how teachTrade Review"Akihiko Takahashi has been at the heart of Teaching Through Problem-Solving (TTP) from its very beginnings in Japan, first as a master teacher, and then as a researcher and coach. In this volume he brings the central ideas of TTP to Western readers. If you’ve wondered why Japanese teachers and students do so well at mathematics, this book will show you why and show you how." - Alan Schoenfeld, Series Editor, from the ForewordTable of ContentsForeword by Alan Schoenfeld, Series Editor Preface Chapter 1 Development and Major Concepts of Japanese "Teaching Through Problem-Solving" (TTP) 1.1 The Need to Move Beyond the Lecture Method1.2 What is Japanese TTP?1.3 Progression of TTP in Japan1.4 The TTP Classroom1.5 The Four Kinds of Whole Class Discussions (Neriage) in TTP1.6 Types of TTP lessonsChapter 2 TTP Lessons You Can Use2.1 TTP Lessons to Develop Conceptual and Procedural Understandings2.2 TTP Lessons to Expand Understanding2.3 TTP Lessons with Multiple Correct SolutionsChapter 3 Designing Your Own TTP Lessons3.1 Kyouzai Kenkyuu, the Necessary Groundwork3.2 Modify Existing Problems to Create TTP Lessons3.3 How to Write a TTP Lesson PlanChapter 4 How TTP and Collaborative Lesson Research Can Change Your School4.1 Jyugyou Kenkyuu, Japan’s Professional Development Program4.2 Using CLR at Your School to Implement TTP4.3 Advantages of CLRIndex

Book SynopsisNow in an updated third edition, this invaluable resource takes a practical and accessible approach to identifying and diagnosing many of the factors that contribute to mathematical learning difficulties and dyscalculia. Using a combination of formative and summative approaches, it provides a range of norm-referenced, standardised tests and diagnostic activities, each designed to reveal common error patterns and misconceptions in order to form a basis for intervention. Revised to reflect developments in the understanding of learning difficulties in mathematics, the book gives a diagnostic overview of a range of challenges to mathematical learning, including difficulties in grasping and retaining facts, problems with mathematics vocabulary and maths anxiety. Key features of this book include: Photocopiable tests and activities designed to be presented in a low-stress way Guidance on the interpretation of data, allowing diagnosis and assessment to become integTrade ReviewThe tests and checklists contained in More Trouble with Maths: a complete manual to identifying and diagnosing mathematical difficulties (2nd Edition) (2017) have been approved by the SpLD Test Evaluation Committee for inclusion in both its Pre-16 and Post-16 List of Suitable Tests for the Assessment of Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) Steve Chinn in this latest book ‘More Trouble with Maths’ has yet again achieved another major milestone by conveying a positive and informative message to all practitioners – yes – Maths challenges - whatever the barriers, can be overcome! In this book Steve Chinn shows exactly how this can be done. Every aspect is comprehensively covered with practical and sound evidence-based approaches. Steve, yet again, shows why he is the number 1 author in Maths! The book describes a range of diagnostic procedures that covers all the barriers that can be experienced from sequencing to memory issues. Steve is also well known for his consideration of the individual child and it is no surprise that chapter 4 focusses on exactly that, getting to know the learner. There are also detailed chapters on dealing with memory difficulties, anxiety and emotions and developing teaching and learning approaches. The appendix also contains very useful pro-forma’s on observation and assessment. Without any doubt this book is an essential reference for all practitioners and a ‘must buy’ for every school! Dr. Gavin Reid, Independent Practitioner Psychologist and author What a book! Understanding, assessing and addressing maths challenges is a real concern for so many involved in the education of children and young people. Many adults remain anxious about their ability to cope with maths, and as a result, this stymies their efforts to help those in their care overcome their difficulties. Maths is a really important subject; we know that when issues remain unaddressed and / or the subject is inappropriately taught, maths failure can detrimentally affect life chances. This text, with the tests and diagnostic activities it contains, explains complex issues in an accessible and enlightening way, useful for those who understand maths and who want to know more – and those who need help and guidance to do so. This book will help both staff and learners to achieve. Thank you Steve … You have done it again! Dr. Lindsay Peer CBE, Educational Psychologist, Peer Gordon Associates Table of Contents1.
