Tarquin Publications The Second Multiplication Tables Colouring Book:
Book SynopsisFollowing the pattern of her previous book, this second collection by Hilary McElderry offers new pictures to color and further opportunity and encouragement for children to learn and practise their multiplication tables. It is intended to act as an encouragement for children to learn their tables. On every page there are diagrams made up of small numbered areas. If that number will divide by the number being studied, then the area has to be colored or shaded. When all the target areas of a particular puzzle are colored, then the hidden picture is revealed. There are also other charts and hundred squares to color and the book is then rounded off with a target test to confirm the progress being made.

This friendly companion eases beginning students into real mathematical thinking, unlocking important techniques for effective mathematics so you can communicate with clarity, solve problems, and explore the world of definitions, theorems and proofs with real confidence.Trade Review"In this book, Houston has created a primer on the fundamental abstract ideas of mathematics; the primary emphasis is on demonstrating the many principles and tactics used in proofs. The material is explained in ways that are comprehensible, which will be a great help for people who seem to hit the wall regarding what to do when confronted with the creation of a proof... In this book, Houston takes a systematic and gentle approach to explaining the ideas of mathematics and how tactics of reasoning can be combined with those ideas to generate what would be considered a convincing proof." Charles Ashbacher, Journal of Recreational Mathematics"The author provides concise, crisp explanations, including definitions, examples, tips, remarks, warnings, and idea-reinforcing questions.

Taylor & Francis Inc The Cryptoclub: Using Mathematics to Make and
Book SynopsisJoin the Cryptokids as they apply basic mathematics to make and break secret codes. This book has many hands-on activities that have been tested in both classrooms and informal settings. Classic coding methods are discussed, such as Caesar, substitution, Vigenère, and multiplicative ciphers as well as the modern RSA. Math topics covered include: - Addition and Subtraction with, negative numbers, decimals, and percentages - Factorization - Modular Arithmetic - Exponentiation - Prime Numbers - Frequency Analysis.The accompanying workbook, The Cryptoclub Workbook: Using Mathematics to Make and Break Secret Codes provides students with problems related to each section to help them master the concepts introduced throughout the book. A PDF version of the workbook is available at no charge on the download tab, a printed workbook is available for $19.95 (K00701). The teacher manual can be requested from the publisher by contacting the Academic Sales Manager, Susie Carlisle Trade ReviewOne of the holy grails of education is making math fun, without reducing its rigor. Many people attempt this task, but few succeed. I believe that Janet Beissinger and Vera Pless are among the rare success stories with their book … it is a fabulous supplement to more traditional curriculums. Pattern recognition, probability, prime numbers, exponents, modular arithmetic, factoring, organizing data, and inverses are among the topics that the book explores in a meaningful and interesting way. Even more important, it gives young (or maybe not so young!) students an opportunity to practice rigorous critical thinking in a meaningful context. Code cracking is a great example of open-ended problems that require tenacity, organization, and creative thinking to solve.—Jessie Mathisen, Articles for Reading, November 2009Students Tackle Cryptography—University of Illinois at Chicago professors craft program to show middle schoolers that problem solving is fun.—The Chicago Tribune, July 2009The Cryptoclub is very clearly written and illustrated, in full color, and clearly laid out. I truly enjoyed The Cryptoclub. It is SO interesting! How could you lay a book down when there is a secret message to unravel!… This book is perfect for motivating teenagers’ interest in math. It lets them study something fascinating outside the main curriculum — cryptography — which is at the same time a highly useful application of math.—Homeschool Math, October 2007The Cryptoclub is more than just a math book: a story line is woven around each type of code, making it more interesting for students. This book could serve as a resource for enrichment or gifted programs [and] could easily be incorporated into a cross-curricular thematic unit.—Judith Casey, NCTM, August 2007A fine book that introduces middle school pupils to coding … Despite its challenging mathematical content, there is nothing dry about this book. All the techniques employed for modern children’s books are used here to good effect: a story line to connect the topics, with coloured illustrations, boxes to set of examples and exercises, as well as a number of historical anecdotes set on special pages. —CMS Notes, March 2007Mathematical material is brought to life with fictionalized stories about a group of ‘Cryptokids’ as well as true stories from the history of cryptography.—Book News, December 2006The Cryptoclub presents a number of different systems of encryption and methods of breaking them … Each type of cipher is presented in detail and exercises are included, allowing students to apply the techniques presented. The Cryptoclub also includes short descriptions of famous examples of secret codes, including the Beale Ciphers, the Zimmerman telegram, and the German Enigma cipher. The Cryptoclub is intended for middle-school students, and could be used for classroom teaching or as a supplemental or recreational book for students interested in cryptography. However, the potential appeal is much broader: the simplest ciphers could be solved by a child in grade school, and much of The Cryptoclub can be enjoyed by adults as well.—Sarah Boslaugh, MAA Reviews, October 2006Listen to a video review of the book at http://www.republicofmath.com/cryptoclub-reviewTable of ContentsIntroduction to Cryptography. Caesar Ciphers. Sending Messages with Numbers. Breaking Caesar Ciphers. Substitution Ciphers. Keyword Ciphers. Letter Frequencies. Breaking Substitution Ciphers. Vigenère Ciphers.

Oxford University Press How to Think about Analysis
Book SynopsisAnalysis (sometimes called Real Analysis or Advanced Calculus) is a core subject in most undergraduate mathematics degrees. It is elegant, clever and rewarding to learn, but it is hard. Even the best students find it challenging, and those who are unprepared often find it incomprehensible at first. This book aims to ensure that no student need be unprepared. It is not like other Analysis books. It is not a textbook containing standard content. Rather, it is designed to be read before arriving at university and/or before starting an Analysis course, or as a companion text once a course is begun. It provides a friendly and readable introduction to the subject by building on the student''s existing understanding of six key topics: sequences, series, continuity, differentiability, integrability and the real numbers. It explains how mathematicians develop and use sophisticated formal versions of these ideas, and provides a detailed introduction to the central definitions, theorems and proofs, pointing out typical areas of difficulty and confusion and explaining how to overcome these. The book also provides study advice focused on the skills that students need if they are to build on this introduction and learn successfully in their own Analysis courses: it explains how to understand definitions, theorems and proofs by relating them to examples and diagrams, how to think productively about proofs, and how theories are taught in lectures and books on advanced mathematics. It also offers practical guidance on strategies for effective study planning. The advice throughout is research based and is presented in an engaging style that will be accessible to students who are new to advanced abstract mathematics.Trade ReviewWhat is immediately obvious to the reader (which embraces those about to start a course on undergraduate analysis) is its friendly and accessible style. The text flows in a highly readable manner and ideas are explained with great clarity. ... How to Think about Analysis [is] a very effective and helpful book, a book which should be on every undergraduate reading list and should be available to potential mathematics undergraduates in schools. * John Sykes, Mathematics in School *There are very few books on pure mathematics which I consider to be page-turners, but this book is definitely one of them. It is written using a friendly and informal tone yet carefully emphasizes and demonstrates the importance of paying attention to the details. It is an excellent read and is highly recommended for anyone interested in Analysis or any area of pure mathematics * Stanley R. Huddy, MAA *How to Think about Analysis offers several insights into the best practices to use when studying upper level mathematics. Not only are these insights helpful to students, but they could also prove helpful to teachers of earlier courses; modifying and incorporating some of these practices into earlier courses may better prepare their students for future mathematics coursework. * Kate Raymond, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics *Table of ContentsPART 1: STUDYING ANALYSIS; PART 2: CONCEPTS IN ANALYSIS
