Techniques for applying mathematical concepts in the real world: six rarely taught but crucial tools for analysis, research, and problem-solving. Many young graduates leave school with a solid knowledge of mathematical concepts but struggle to apply these concepts in practice. Real scientific and engineering problems are different from those found…

This is a companion piece to "Professional Learning Community: Improving Mathematical Problem Solving for Students in Grades 4 through 8. Facilitator's Guide. REL 2019-002" (ED595201). It contains handouts to accompany each of the sessions included in the facilitator's guide.

This article will describe a writing assignment designed for use in a liberal arts college whose mission stresses effective written communication both within and across disciplines. In this assignment, students write three separate solutions to the same mathematics problem: one for a mathematical peer, a second for a contemporary that does not…

The purpose of these modules is to provide an introduction to the world of probability and statistics to accelerated mathematics students at the high school level. The materials are centered on the fictional town of Happy Shores, a coastal community which is at risk for hurricanes. Actuaries at an insurance company figure out the risks and…

This textbook presents readings in geometry and the theory of infinitesimals.

This textbook presents principles, ratios and proportions, the circle and measurement of angles, the proportions of figures and the measurement of areas, regular polygons and measurement of the circle, planes and solid angles, polyhedrons, the three round bodies, spherical triangles and spherical polygons, regular polyhedrons, plane and spherical…

This textbook presents definitions and remarks, axioms, properties of polygons, ratios and proportions, planes and their angles, measurement of areas and proportions of figures, solids, and mensuration of surfaces, solids, and round bodies.

This is a step-by-step guidebook that is designed to help students on the quantitative section of the SAT. This guidebook produces an understanding of key mathematical concepts as the various topics are covered by the text, and, unlike other SAT guides, lists skills and capabilities, that if mastered will result in well-prepared students. More…

Familiarity with modern methods of measurement and skill in doing quantitative thinking are essential. This text offers a "general" course intended for those who continue studies in the senior high school as well as for those who do not continue. It aims to contribute to the pupil's liberal education by preparing him to understand the…

This textbook is a young mathematician's guide to mathematics. The following five parts are presented: (1) Arithmetick, vulgar, and decimal, with all the useful rules; and a general method of extracting the roots of all single powers; (2) Algebra, or arithmetick in species; wherein the method of raising and resolving equations is rendered easie;…

This textbook presents principles, ratios and proportions, the circle and measurement of angles, regular polygons and measurement of the circle, planes and solid angles, polyhedrons, the three round bodies, plane and spherical trigonometry, and mensuration. [This book was translated by David Brewster. It was revised and adapted by Charles Davies.]
