The Teaching and History of Mathematics in the United States (Classic Reprint) by Cajori Pdf

Excerpt from The Teaching and History of Mathematics in the United States The paper used in the book is thick, the type large. Words and phrases to which the author desires to call special attention are printed in italic characters, and as more than half the book is, in the author's eyes, important, more than half the book is printed in italics. In 1788, when Nicholas Pike published his arithmetic, Greenwood's book was entirely unknown, and Pike's was believed to be the first arith metic written and printed in America. The first arithmetic which enjoyed general popularity and reached an extended circulation in the colonies was the School-master's Assistant, by Thomas Dilworth. The first edition of this was published in London in 1744 or '45. According to Wickersham, there appeared a reprint of this in Philadelphia in 1769. Other American editions were brought out at Hartford in 1786, New York in 1793 and 1806, Brooklyn in 1807.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A History of Elementary Mathematics by Florian Cajori Pdf

Excerpt from A History of Elementary Mathematics: With Hints on Methods of Teaching In the preparation of this history, I have made extensive use of the works of Cantor, Hankel, Unger, De Morgan, Pea cock, Gow, Allman, Loria, and of other prominent writers On the history of mathematics. Original sources have been consulted, whenever opportunity has presented itself. It gives me much pleasure to acknowledge the assistance ren dered by the United States Bureau of Education, in. For warding for examination a number of old text-books which otherwise would have been inaccessible to me. It should also be said that a large number of passages in this book are taken, with only slight alteration, from my History of Mathematics, Macmillan co., 1895. Some parts of the present work are, therefore, not independent of the earlier one. It has been my privilege to have my manuscript read by two scholars of well-known ability, - Dr. G. B. Halsted of the University of Texas, and Professor F. H. Loud of Colorado College. Through their suggestions and corrections many infelicities in language and several inaccuracies of statement have disappeared. Valuable assistance in proof-reading has been rendered by Professor Loud, by Mr. P. E. Doudna, formerly Fellow in Mathematics at the University of Wis consin, and by Mr. F. K. Bailey, a student in Colorado College. I extend to them my sincere thanks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Mathematics in the Elementary Schools of the United States by United States Bureau of Education Pdf

Excerpt from Mathematics in the Elementary Schools of the United States: International Commission on the Teaching of Mathematics; The American Report, Committees I and II II. The elementary school. This term is now commonly applied to the types of schools formerly designated as primary, intermediate, and grammar or grammar grades. The course is nearly always 8 years in length, very rarely 7, occasionally 9 or 10. The completion of the elementary course is necessary for entrance to the high schools, and the elementary school rar'ely provides work paralleling that of the secondary school, this providing the marked con trast to European practice. In a few cases it is attempted to teach secondary subjects, such as foreign language and mathematics, in the upper grades of the elementary school. Under present conditions the standard maintained by the elementary school is such that seldom more than half of all children are able to finish it by the close of the compulsory school period 14 years of age. In 1907-8 some children were reported in the elementary schools. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Study of Mathematical Education Including the Teaching of Arithmetic (Classic Reprint) by Benchara Branford Pdf

Excerpt from A Study of Mathematical Education Including the Teaching of Arithmetic This study is based upon twenty years' experience Of school and college education ranging through all grades, including the very elements of counting and form in the kindergarten, the mathematics appropriate to the school, and the standard required Of students for an Honours Degree in our universities. Conclusions based on class-teaching and those arrived at by experiment and by a private study Of the individual have served both to correct and to supplement each other. The substance of the present volume has also formed the introductory part Of a course of lectures on the teaching of mathematics, which, for many years, I have given in various institutions to classes of teachers from almost all types and grades Of schools, elementary as well as secondary and tertiary.

A Concise History of Mathematics by Dirk J. Struik Pdf

This compact, well-written history — first published in 1948, and now in its fourth revised edition — describes the main trends in the development of all fields of mathematics from the first available records to the middle of the 20th century. Students, researchers, historians, specialists — in short, everyone with an interest in mathematics — will find it engrossing and stimulating. Beginning with the ancient Near East, the author traces the ideas and techniques developed in Egypt, Babylonia, China, and Arabia, looking into such manuscripts as the Egyptian Papyrus Rhind, the Ten Classics of China, and the Siddhantas of India. He considers Greek and Roman developments from their beginnings in Ionian rationalism to the fall of Constantinople; covers medieval European ideas and Renaissance trends; analyzes 17th- and 18th-century contributions; and offers an illuminating exposition of 19th century concepts. Every important figure in mathematical history is dealt with — Euclid, Archimedes, Diophantus, Omar Khayyam, Boethius, Fermat, Pascal, Newton, Leibniz, Fourier, Gauss, Riemann, Cantor, and many others. For this latest edition, Dr. Struik has both revised and updated the existing text, and also added a new chapter on the mathematics of the first half of the 20th century. Concise coverage is given to set theory, the influence of relativity and quantum theory, tensor calculus, the Lebesgue integral, the calculus of variations, and other important ideas and concepts. The book concludes with the beginnings of the computer era and the seminal work of von Neumann, Turing, Wiener, and others. "The author's ability as a first-class historian as well as an able mathematician has enabled him to produce a work which is unquestionably one of the best." — Nature Magazine.

The Teaching of High School Mathematics (Classic Reprint) by George W. Evans Pdf

Excerpt from The Teaching of High School Mathematics The ideal of practicality has now entered the schools with telling force. It has been manifested in its demand for vocational training, and it is reconstructing the older cultural training by elim inations and additions. Its effects on the curri cula of liberal schools are quite obvious. Materials once accepted without question, when schools had a margin of energy, are now displaced by the pressure of new demands. These new demands force the teachers of a crowded curriculumto re consider every traditionally taught fact or process from the standpoint of its relative rather than its absolute worth. Without scorn for the value of any truth, Old disciplines disappear and new ones enter. The ends of life are the ends of the school, and what is social is becoming academic, thus freeing the scholastic from the contempt of men who work in the world at large.

Mathematical Teaching by Truman Henry Safford Pdf

Excerpt from Mathematical Teaching: And Its Modern Methods The history of mathematical teaching in this country is yet to be written. It is necessary to pay some attention to this history in writing upon the theory; as the traditions of the elders have a great influence, partly good and partly injurious. If we find that a tradition in mathematical teaching arose from definite reasons still in force, we must be cautious about rejecting it as useless; but such are not all the methods which have been handed down. A few salient points of history may be useful to consider. About 1730 the Hollis professorship of mathematics and natural philosophy was founded at Harvard College; it goes back near enough to Newton's time to enable us to see the impulse which caused its establishment. Again, the successors of Winthrop, the first Hollis professor, taught by English methods and essentially English books, including Playfair's Euclid, till long after the Revolution. Webber's Mathematics, compiled from Hutton and the other English writers, and Hutton's own books, were the standard for many years. It was the military experience of the Revolution which led to the employment of French and Swiss professors in West Point Academy; and its reorganization under Thayer, shortly after the War of 1812, led to the production by Davies, Church, and Bartlett, of a series of text-books compiled from Lacroix, Legendre, and other writers of the same nation.

The Teaching of Mathematics in Secondary Schools (Classic Reprint) by Arthur Schultze Pdf

Excerpt from The Teaching of Mathematics in Secondary Schools In addition to the purely pedagogical discussions, this' volume contains certain topics in pure mathematics which, on account of their bearing upon teaching, should be familiar to every teacher. These topics re late principally to the modes of attack (chapter XV), but also to the foundations of mathematics (chapter V), to the division of the circle (chapter XVI), and to a few other subjects. These chapters may be omitted when a rapid survey of the purely pedagogic matters is desired. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

New York State Arithmetic by George Wentworth Pdf

Excerpt from New York State Arithmetic: Years Five and Six In deciding upon the plan for a textbook to meet the needs of the schools of New York state, the authors have been guided by the Syllabus in Arithmetic issued by the State Education Department. With the Syllabus constantly before them they have prepared what they believe to be a thoroughly usable book. They believe that this book, with its clear-cut topical arrangement, will appeal to teachers and pupils alike, and that it will meet the needs of the schools in every respect. The rule that has guided the authors in their other works is followed in this one: Present the reason briefly but clearly, and then furnish such an amount of practice that the pupil cannot forget the principle. Theory is reduced to a mini mum, and practice is abundant, with both abstract and con crete numbers, since the experience of a century proves beyond question that each of these two lines must be treated fully to prepare the pupils for their future work. This is the spirit of the Syllabus, and it is a thoroughly sound one, rep resenting as it does the sanest modern educational thought.
