This text contains material designed for about 18 weeks of study at grades 11 or 12. Use of a computer with the course is highly recommended. Developing an understanding of the relationship between mathematics, computers, and problem solving is the main objective of this book. The following chapters are included in the book: (1) Algorithms,…

This is the student's textbook for Algorithms, Computation, and Mathematics (Algol Supplement). This computer language supplement is split off from the main text to enable a school to choose the computer language desired, and also to make it easier to modify the course as languages change. The chapters in the text are designed to add language…

This is the student's textbook for Algorithms, Computation, and Mathematics (Fortran Supplement). This computer language supplement is split off from the main text to enable a school to choose the computer language desired, and also to make it easier to modify the course as languages change. The chapters in the text are designed to add language…

This is the second unit in a series of 14 SMSG texts designed to cover mathematical concepts which the general population should know. One chapter of the unit discusses algorithms, flow charts, and computers; the second chapter tackles problem formulation procedures (not actual problem solving) and briefly covers mathematical models. For a special…

Chapters 1-3 of the special materials written for low achieving students in grades 7-8 by SMSG include flow charting, elementary coordinate geometry, and functions. Included for student use are many tables which are to be used to shorten computational processes. Each chapter also includes pretest exercises, instructional lessons and exercises, and…

This is the second unit of a 15-unit School Mathematics Study Group (SMSG) mathematics text for high school students. Topics presented in the first chapter (Informal Algorithms and Flow Charts) include: changing a flat tire; algorithms, flow charts, and computers; assignment and variables; input and output; using a variable as a counter; decisions…

This student textbook is designed to incorporate programable calculators in grade 12 mathematics. The seven chapters contained in this document are: (1) Using Calculators in Mathematics; (2) Sequences, Series, and Limits; (3) Iteration, Mathematical Induction, and the Binomial Theorem; (4) Applications of the Fundamental Counting Principle; (5)…

The sixteen chapters of this book provide the core material for the Elements of Mathematics Program, a secondary sequence developed for highly motivated students with strong verbal abilities. The sequence is based on a functional-relational approach to mathematics teaching, and emphasizes teaching by analysis of real-life situations. This text is…

This student textbook is designed to incorporate programable calculators in grade 11 mathematics. The eight chapters contained in this document are: (1) Using Calculators in Mathematics; (2) Exponents and Logarithms; (3) Trigonometry of the Right Triangle; (4) Trigonometry Beyong the Right Triangle; (5) Graphs of the Trigonometric Functions and…

This textbook was designed for a first course in differential and integral calculus, and is directed toward students in engineering, the sciences, mathematics, and computer science. Its major goal is to bring students to a level of technical competence and intuitive understanding of calculus that is adequate for applying the subject to real world…
