Mathematics Emerging by Jacqueline Stedall Pdf

Aimed at students and researchers in Mathematics, History of Mathematics and Science, this book examines the development of mathematics from the late 16th Century to the end of the 19th Century. Mathematics has an amazingly long and rich history, it has been practised in every society and culture, with written records reaching back in some cases as far as four thousand years. This book will focus on just a small part of the story, in a sense the most recent chapter of it: the mathematics of western Europe from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. Each chapter will focus on a particular topic and outline its history with the provision of facsimiles of primary source material along with explanatory notes and modern interpretations. Almost every source is given in its original form, not just in the language in which it was first written, but as far as practicable in the layout and typeface in which it was read by contemporaries.This book is designed to provide mathematics undergraduates with some historical background to the material that is now taught universally to students in their final years at school and the first years at college or university: the core subjects of calculus, analysis, and abstract algebra, along with others such as mechanics, probability, and number theory. All of these evolved into their present form in a relatively limited area of western Europe from the mid sixteenth century onwards, and it is there that we find the major writings that relate in a recognizable way to contemporary mathematics.

The Math Teachers Know by Brent Davis,Moshe Renert Pdf

What sorts of mathematics competencies must teachers have in order to teach the discipline well? This book offers a novel take on the question. Most research is focused on explicit knowledge–that is, on the sorts of insights that might be specified, catalogued, taught, and tested. In contrast, this book focuses on the tacit dimensions of teachers’ mathematics knowledge that precede and enable their competencies with formal mathematics. It highlights the complexity of this knowledge and offers strategies to uncover it, analyze it, and re-synthesize it in ways that will make it more available for teaching. Emerging from 10 years of collaborative inquiry with practicing teachers, it is simultaneously informed by the most recent research and anchored to the realities of teachers’ lives in classrooms.

An Introduction to Mathematics of Emerging Biomedical Imaging by Habib Ammari Pdf

Biomedical imaging is a fascinating research area to applied mathematicians. Challenging imaging problems arise and they often trigger the investigation of fundamental problems in various branches of mathematics. This is the first book to highlight the most recent mathematical developments in emerging biomedical imaging techniques. The main focus is on emerging multi-physics and multi-scales imaging approaches. For such promising techniques, it provides the basic mathematical concepts and tools for image reconstruction. Further improvements in these exciting imaging techniques require continued research in the mathematical sciences, a field that has contributed greatly to biomedical imaging and will continue to do so. The volume is suitable for a graduate-level course in applied mathematics and helps prepare the reader for a deeper understanding of research areas in biomedical imaging.

Didactics of Mathematics by Ángel Alberto Magreñán Pdf

"Didactics of mathematics has been recently considered, for less than a century, as scientific discipline as itself. The study of this discipline has significantly grown in the last decades since many authors have focused their efforts in the study of the relations of the knowledge and the processes of teaching-learning of mathematics. This book presents eight original contributions of authors from ten different universities, and even from different countries, related to (1) Learning and metacognition; (2) A methodology to teach mathematics; (3) A study related to mathematics in China; (4) Collaborative learning in Mathematics in Secondary Education; (5) Intervention to teach notable products in Secondary Education; (6) The use of holography in geometry teaching in Secondary Education; (7) Problem Based Learning in University for advanced mathematics teaching; (8) Flip teaching in University. This monograph is required reading for all researchers in mathematics education and contains different useful material for mathematics educators and teacher trainers interested in the theory and practice of mathematics education. As such this monograph is suitable to teachers of mathematics in different educational levels. Researchers, graduate students and seminars will find this book really helpful for their daily work. This book is also recommended to researchers in different disciplines, such as general education, didactics or general mathematics"--

Mathematical Models for Teaching by Ann Kajander,Tom Boland Pdf

Students of mathematics learn best when taught by a teacher with a deep and conceptual understanding of the fundamentals of mathematics. In Mathematical Models for Teaching, Ann Kajander and Tom Boland argue that teachers must be equipped with a knowledge of mathematics for teaching, which is grounded in modelling, reasoning, and problem-based learning. A comprehensive exploration of models and concepts, this book promotes an understanding of the material that goes beyond memorization and recitation, which begins with effective teaching. This vital resource is divided into 15 chapters, each of which addresses a specific mathematical concept. Focusing on areas that have been identified as problematic for teachers and students, Mathematical Models for Teaching equips teachers with a different type of mathematical understanding-one that supports and encourages student development. Features: grounded in the most current research about teachers' learning contains cross-chapter connections that identify common ideas includes chapter concluding discussion questions that encourage critical thinking incorporates figures and diagrams that simplify and solidify important mathematical concepts offers further reading suggestions for instructors seeking additional information

New Mathematics of Architecture by Jane Burry,Mark Burry Pdf

This carefully researched survey examines how architects now use digital tools and physics to build spatial constructs that would have been inconceivable even ten years ago. Architecture has always relied on mathematics to achieve visual harmony, structural integrity, and logical construction. Now digital tools and an increasing interest in physics have given architects the means to describe and build spatial constructs that would have been inconceivable even ten years ago. This carefully researched survey of forty-six international projects offers an overview of how different strategies are being employed through accessible illustrations and clear text. Each section presents case studies of projects by globally recognized architects in diagrams, photographs, and texts.

Emerging Topics on Differential Geometry and Graph Theory by Lucas Bernard,François Roux Pdf

Differential geometry is a mathematical discipline that uses the methods of differential and integral calculus to study problems in geometry. Graph theory is also a growing area in mathematical research. In mathematics and computer science, graph theory is the study of mathematical structures used to model pairwise relations between objects from a certain collection. This book presents various theories and applications in both of these mathematical fields. Included are the concepts of dominating sets, one of the most widely studied concepts in graph theory, some current developments of graph theory in the fields of planar linkage mechanisms and geared linkage mechanisms, lie algebras and the application of CR Hamiltonian flows to the deformation theory of CR structures.
