Short description Featuring a unique CD that contains a virtual computer/calculator software program, The Definitive Guide to How Computers Do Math begins by explaining fundamental math concepts, such as the use of powers and different place-value number systems (specifically binary, decimal, and hexadecimal). The book then introduces the concepts of computers and calculators and discusses fundamental concepts such as the stack and the use of subroutines. Readers then use what they have learned to create a set of basic math subroutines for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Finally, these routines are gathered together into a framework program that the authors use to implement a simple four-function calculator. |

Complete description
Winner of the 1983 National Book Award! "...a perfectly marvelous book about the Queen of Sciences, from which one will get a real feeling for what mathematicians do and who they are. The exposition is clear and full of wit and humor..." - The New Yorker (1983 National Book Award edition) Mathematics has been a human activity for thousands of years. Yet only a few people from the vast population of users are professional mathematicians, who create, teach, foster, and apply it in a variety of situations. The authors of this book believe that it should be possible for these professional mathematicians to explain to non-professionals what they do, what they say they are doing, and why the world should support them at it. They also believe that mathematics should be taught to non-mathematics majors in such a way as to instill an appreciation of the power and beauty of mathematics. Many people from around the world have told the authors that they have done precisely that with the first edition and they have encouraged publication of this revised edition complete with exercises for helping students to demonstrate their understanding.
This edition of the book should find a new generation of general readers and students who would like to know what mathematics is all about. It will prove invaluable as a course text for a general mathematics appreciation course, one in which the student can combine an appreciation for the esthetics with some satisfying and revealing applications. The text is ideal for 1) a GE course for Liberal Arts students 2) a Capstone course for perspective teachers 3) a writing course for mathematics teachers. A wealth of customizable online course materials for the book can be obtained from Elena Anne Marchisotto ([email protected]) upon request.

AO2: Relate tables, graphs, and equations to linear and simple quadratic relationships found in number and spatial patterns.
We have available a large range of activities that can be used for developing some basic concepts in algebra. Students often complain that they cannot see the point of learning algebra so all of the teaching of skills here is placed within contexts. The intention of this unit is not to teach skills in isolation, but rather to use each activity for developing all the concepts. It is not suggested that this unit should replace the skills practice traditionally used in the teaching of algebra. It does, however, provide the opportunities for discussion and development of concepts. As each learning outcome is explored there will probably be need for consolidation through more traditional exercises. With the first activities one will probably not wish to explore all aspects with the whole class, but the possibility is there for extending individuals. It would also be appropriate to use the first activity for diagnostic assessment.
The initial focus of this unit involves students in gathering data from their investigation of squares that can be made on different sized geoboards, (an array of dots arranged on a square grid). Students need to be systematic in their work, and to record their results in ways that are likely to help them notice patterns and relationships.
Techniques for drawing linear graphs are introduced via whole number problem situations where the focus is on the solutions rather than the technique. Only linear equations of the form ax±by=c are graphed by finding two or more points on the line. No attempt is made to link these equations by algebra to the gradient intercept form y=mx+c. |

A Journey in Algebraic Thinking
The United States is one of the only countries in the world that is teaching courses with names like Algebra I or Algebra II. The rest of the world, including our colleagues in Canada, teach mathematics, not as separate courses, but as a continuous program from elementary through secondary school. In the United States, some schools offer an alternative, such as an integrated program that incorporates algebra as a strand blended with geometry and other advanced topics. Others continue to offer a course sequence that includes Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. In an increasing number of states, the study of algebra in some form is required of all students for high school graduation. Regardless of whether a school's secondary curriculum includes a separate course in Algebra I or is more integrated, we can take concrete steps to ensure that students will flourish and succeed when they arrive at the formal study of algebra. A key to this success is the development of algebraic thinking as a cohesive thread in the mathematics curriculum from prekindergarten through high school.
Algebraic thinking includes recognizing and analyzing patterns, studying and representing relationships, making generalizations, and analyzing how things change. Of course, facility in using algebraic symbols is an integral part of becoming proficient in applying algebra to solve problems. But trying to understand abstract symbolism without a foundation in thinking algebraically is likely to lead to frustration and failure. Algebraic thinking can begin when students begin their study of mathematics.
At the earliest grades, young children work with patterns. At an early age, children have a natural love of mathematics, and their curiosity is a strong motivator as they try to describe and extend patterns of shapes, colors, sounds, and eventually letters and numbers. And at a young age, children can begin to make generalizations about patterns that seem to be the same or different. This kind of categorizing and generalizing is an important developmental step on the journey toward algebraic thinking.
Throughout the elementary grades, patterns are not only an object of study but a tool as well. As students develop their understanding of numbers, they can use patterns in arrays of dots or objects to help them recognize what 6 is or whether 2 is larger than 3. As they explore and understand addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, they can look for patterns that help them learn procedures and facts. Patterns in rows and columns of objects help students get a sense of multiplication and see that facts make sense. Patterns within the multiplication table itself are interesting to children and help them both learn their facts and understand relationships among facts. The process of noticing and exploring patterns sets the stage for looking at more complex relationships, including proportionality, in later grades.
As students move into the middle grades, their mathematics experience can focus on connecting their work with numbers and operations to more symbolic work with equations and expressions. At this level, the focus of the mathematics program should be on proportionality, perhaps the most important connecting idea in the entire pre-K–12 mathematics curriculum. This concept should take students well beyond the study of ratios, proportions, and percent. A real understanding of proportionality allows students to connect their experience with numbers and operations to ideas that they have studied in geometry, measurement, and data analysis. They begin to get a sense of how two quantities can be related proportionally, as seen on maps, scale drawings, and similar figures, or in calculating sales tax or commissions.
A solid understanding of proportionality sets the stage for students to succeed in the more formal study of algebra. From this base, notions of linearity and linear functions emerge naturally. As students explore how to use linear functions to solve problems, the bigger world of functions that may not be linear begins to open for them. Looking at what is the same and what is different among functions lies at the heart of understanding algebraic skills and processes.
The journey doesn't end with a student's first formal study of algebra at high school. Continuous development of increasingly sophisticated algebraic reasoning can provide an avenue into the study of geometry and advanced mathematics. In the world outside school, these topics are not separated. When higher-level courses regularly incorporate opportunities to build on students' algebraic understanding, students are far more likely to succeed than if the courses present just one mathematical perspective.
The development of algebraic thinking is a process, not an event. It is something that can be part of a positive, motivating, enriching school mathematics experience. "Developing Algebraic Thinking: A Journey from Preschool to High School" is the Professional Development Focus of the Year for NCTM during the 2004–05 school year. Watch for opportunities to develop your own understanding of this important topic throughout the year, including as part of conferences, journals, publications, and the NCTM Web site.
For this month's questions, consider the following: How can we build algebraic thinking into the pre-K–12 curriculum at all levels? How should secondary school mathematics be organized to capitalize on the inclusion of algebraic thinking throughout the elementary and middle grades? What can NCTM do to support teachers in fostering the development of algebraic thinking? |
Calcul is your calculator and nobody else's: like most other calculator applications, it has a number of function buttons, which perform specific calculations on the number entered or calculated. But unlike in other applications, the buttons in My Calcul can be programmed by you to do exactly the calculations you want. You are free to set the name of each function button and the calculation formula behind it.
The calculation formula behind each button can take several named variables and an unlimited number of parenthesis. In the case of function ft-in>cm, the formula has 2 variables named inches and feet :
Main features of My Calcul :
* the calculation formulae can have up to 255 characters, with an unlimited number of parenthesis and named variables. The last value of each variable is memorized within one session, and it is offered as default value when the same variable is used again, in the same formula or in another formula.
* the following functions are recognized in formulae: log, ln, factorial, sin, cos, tan, acos, asin, atan, cosh, sinh, acosh, asinh. The numbers pi and e are also recognized.
* the calculator can operate in standard algebraic mode or in RPN mode (Reverse Polish Notation).
My Calcul features an equation solver module. When the user loads an equation with n variables (up to 6), the application automatically builds up a table with one line per variable. The table can be used like a small spreadsheet where the user enters values for any sub-set of n-1 variables and let the application calculate the value of the nth variable to solve the equation. Each cell in this special kind of spreadsheet is both an input cell and a calculated cell. This is very useful for all sorts of "what if" type calculations. |

The first book you should read is entitled "Math? Help! How to Find Interactive, Online Math in Algebra, Geometry & Trigonometry for Teens & Adults" [Kindle Edition]. This is aimed at both the parent and the child or adult wishing to learn math.
The second book you will want to read is entitled: "How to Give Your Child a Great Math Education in Algebra, Geometry & Trigonometry" [Kindle Edition]. This book is aimed at the parent/teacher specifically.
These books are authored by Dr. Craig Hane, a long time successful math teacher you may learn all about at Dr. Hane's mission or "crusade" is to be sure any student is given a post-elementary mathematics education that is appropriate for the child, and that the child be very successful. He knows how this can be done, and shares this insight with you in these two books we are giving you.
After reading these two books, you will be invited to engage in a longer term relationship with Dr. Hane by joining his Matheracy Crusade, and benefiting from many free materials he will share with you and then possibly buy some amazing mathematics educational resources he has created. But, not until you understand the situation we are all in thoroughly, which you will after reading these two books.
So, please pass this along to any parent who is not completely satisfied with the mathematics program they are delivering their middle or high school level child, and wants to be more than satisfied. |

the arithmetic of number fields, approximations and transcendence theory, p-adic numbers, diophantine equations of degree 2 and 3.
Cryptography
The primary focus of this course is on definitions and constructions of various cryptographic objects, such as pseudorandom generators, encryption schemes, digital signature
schemes, message authentication codes, block ciphers, and others time permitting. The class tries to understand what security properties are desirable in such objects, how to
properly define these properties, and how to design objects that satisfy them. Once a good definition is established for a particular object, the emphasis will be on
constructing examples that provably satisfy the definition. Thus, a main prerequisite of this course is mathematical maturity and a certain comfort level with proofs. Secondary
topics, covered only briefly, are current cryptographic practice and the history of cryptography and cryptanalysis.
Topology
After introducing metric and general topological spaces, the emphasis will be on the algebraic topology of manifolds and cell complexes. Elements of algebraic topology to be
covered include fundamental groups and covering spaces, homotopy and the degree of maps and its applications. Some differential topology will be introduced including
transversality and intersection theory. Some examples will be taken from knot theory. Homology and cohomology from simplicial, singular, cellular, axiomatic and differential
form viewpoints. Axiomatic characterizations and applications to geometrical problems of embedding and fixed points. Manifolds and Poincare duality. Products and ring
structures. Vector bundles, tangent bundles, De Rham cohomology and differential forms.
Advanced Topics in Geometry
Asymptotic geometry is concerned with properties of metric spaces which are insensitive to small-scale structure. It is a well-known theme in many areas of mathematics, such
as the geometry of Riemannian manifolds or singular spaces, geometric group theory, the theory of discrete subgroups of Lie groups, geometric topology (especially 3-manifolds),
graph theory, and recently in theoretical computer science. The course will begin with asymptotic invariants such as growth rates, isoperimetric inequalities, coarse
topology, and boundaries, followed by a discussion of Mostow rigidity and variants. Subsequent topics will chosen according to the interests of the audience.

Functional Analysis
The course will concentrate on concrete aspects of the subject and on the spaces most commonly used in practice such as Lp(1<= p <= ?), C, C?, and their duals. Working
knowledge of Lebesgue measure and integral is expected. Special attention to Hilbert space (L2, Hardy spaces, Sobolev spaces, etc.), to the general spectral theorem there,
and to its application to ordinary and partial differential equations. Fourier series and integrals in that setting. Compact operators and Fredholm determinants with an
application or two. Introduction to measure/volume in infinite-dimensional spaces (Brownian motion). Some indications about non-linear analysis in an infinite-dimensional
setting. General theme: How does ordinary linear algebra and calculus extend to d=? dimensions?
This course will cover fundamental methods that are essential for numerical solution of differential equations. It is intended for students familiar with ODE and PDE and
interested in numerical computing; computer programming assignments form an essential part of the course. The course will introduce students to numerical methods for (1)
nonlinear equations, Newton's method; (2) ordinary differential equations, Runge-Kutta and multistep methods, convergence and stability; (3) finite difference and ;finite

Get to know your calculator early in any math course. Calculators are used for most routine arithmetic calculations now, and your ability to use a calculator will help to complete work accurately and efficiently.
While calculators come in many different makes and model numbers, most of them operate in similar manners. The notes here are specifically intended to assist you in becoming familiar with the Texas Instruments' TI-30X or TI-30Xa, but you should find the same function keys on many other scientific calculator.
For most algebra courses, you will need a scientific calculator. A scientific calculator includes functions for LOG, LN, and exponents, among other useful keys. It also performs arithmetic according to the Order of Operations (a calculator with only the arithmetic operations +, -,, and ¸ probably performs operations sequentially and is not useful for any advanced mathematical work). The TI-30X calculators are scientific calculators.
Do not worry if there are several keys you don't understand right now. This calculator will serve you well throughout your math courses, even to Calculus and beyond. Anytime you learn some new mathematics, try to learn how to use your calculator to go with it.
Basic key operations
ON:
Know how to turn your calculator on and off (the solar model has no OFF; there are no batteries to conserve). Some calculators have an automatic shut off if not used for a few minutes. On the TI-30X, the ON button is the top right key. This is also the All Clear (AC) button, which effectively gives you a clean slate to work with. AC clears the screen to "0", clears all memories, and turns off special features (like statistical mode). Use AC only when you want a fresh start. Avoid using AC in the middle of an exercise.

Primary functions:
Every key has a number, operation or function name printed on top of the button. This is the primary function for that key. These are likely the ones you will use most often. The primary functions are grouped, more or less, according to purpose.
Numeric keys
These are the keys for entering numbers digit-by-digit. Use the key for entering a number with a decimal point, like 2.57. Use the key to change the sign of a number from positive to negative, or vice versa. This is most useful for entering negative numbers: simply type in the number, then press to make it negative. It is important to use the negative sign after typing the number, because -0 is just 0.
Arithmetic Operations
¸
´
-
+
=
These are the basic operations of (from top to bottom) division, multiplication, subtraction, and addition. These may be typed in the order written in an exercise, and the calculator will automatically perform the entire calculation according to the required order of operations once the key is pressed. Use the key only at the end of your calculation, and press it exactly once (no more).
Note that multiplication may be written with the symbols * or × as well as ´ . Multiplication may also be written with no symbol between numbers or parentheses; be sure to type in this case. Likewise, division may be written as ¸ or /. A fraction bar also indicates division.
Include parentheses (as written) in any arithmetic exercise. The parentheses keys may be used for any pair of grouping symbols, including "(...)" or "[...]" or "{...}". Type the parentheses just as they appear in your exercise. You may also need parentheses at times when they are not shown. For example, a fraction with more than just a number in the numerator or denominator may be enclosed in parentheses for quick entry. Try to compute by typing .
(
)
The correct answer is 7.
Error correction Keys
As described earlier, the button clears all previous entries and settings. Use this key when you start, but rarely afterwards. In the middle of calculations, is a better option. Pressed once, this key means "Clear Error". Use it to correct an incorrect number as you type during a longer entry. For example, suppose you are trying to calculate 28 (16) + 42, and you typed (but you notice this should have been 16, not 26). Press once to clear just the last number entry. Then type in the correct entry and the rest of the calculation: . You should get the answer 490.
If you typed well beyond the mistake, then press twice (to activate "Clear"). This clears the entire calculation from the screen, so you can start over. For example, in the above calculation, suppose you typed before noticing that the 26 should have been 16. Press and start over: .
®
One other option (and a good one), is to make use of the backspace key. This key erases only the last digit typed. Press it once or more to get back to the mistaken digit, and then resume your calculation. Having typed , press the backspace twice, then continue with 16 to get the correct answer. Note that the backspace will only erase digits, not operations.
1/x
x2
yx
Exponent and Root Keys
Your calculator also has keys for performing any exponent calculations. The simplest of these is perhaps the key, which squares the number currently displayed on the screen. Enter the base number first, then press . The result is displayed immediately. Try 92 by typing ; the answer is 81. Try 162 on your own (the answer is 256).
The opposite of squaring is the square root. gives the square root of the number currently displayed on the screen. Try out and .
gives the reciprocal of the number on the screen. Literally, this is 1 divided by x. Mathematically, 1/x is also the same as x-1. On some calculators, the key is . For example, to quickly change 1/200 to a decimal, type . The screen will show 0.005. Likewise, to find 50-1, type to get 0.02.
Finally, the calculator also has a key for doing more general exponents (all three of the above can be done with the exponent key, but they have special easy to use buttons because they are so commonly used). The exponent key is (find it just above the division key). Essentially, pressing this key tells the calculator that the next number you input will be an exponent for the number already on the screen. One nice feature is that the exponent can be any possible number (integer, fraction, decimal, or even another calculation enclosed in parentheses). Always enter the base number first, followed by the exponent key, and then the exponent. Press the key after entering the exponent (or continue the rest of the calculation if there is more). For example, find 210 by typing (the answer is 1024). To compute 0.2-3 type (answer is 125). Note that the negative exponent is entered by typing 3 followed by the key.
Memory Keys
STO
RCL
The memory keys allow you to save up to three different numbers for later use. To save the number currently on the display, type . This "stores" the value in memory cell 1 (replace with or to use memories 2 or 3, respectively). To "recall" a number stored in memory cell 1, use . To try this out, let's compute x2 - 17x + 5, using the memory cell 1 for x when x = -3.217. First enter the number, change the sign to negative, and store it in cell 1 as follows: . Then type in the computation, using for each occurrence of the variable x:
Do not forget to include the "times" symbol between "17" and "x" in the middle term. The answer displayed should be 70.038089.
By substituting or for after , you can use up to three values for use in a single calculation. The memory cells are especially useful if you have a lengthy number (avoid copying and retyping) or if you expect to use the same number several times.
a b/c
The Fraction Key
Perhaps one of the nicest features of this particular calculator is its ability to work fraction arithmetic. When properly entered, the calculator will use fractions correctly in any calculation. First, you need to know how to enter a fraction.
Single fraction: Enter the numerator (top number), press the fraction key , then enter the denominator (bottom number). So the fraction is entered as . The calculator displays the fraction something like .
Mixed numbers: Use the fraction key twice. The mixed number is entered as . In short, simply press the fraction key between each number in a fraction or mixed number. Your calculator knows the difference. The mixed number is displayed as .
Now you are ready to use fractions in other calculations. Simply enter the fraction wherever it appears as you continue typing the entire calculation. For example, try computing by entering the following sequence:
The answer will be displayed as a fraction or a mixed number (if more than 1). In this case, you should get , which means .
Secondary Functions and the Key.
You have probably noticed by now that the calculator also has writing just above each key. To save space, the calculator was made so that each key can perform two separate functions. The primary function is labeled directly on the key as is used simply by pressing the desired key (everything we have discussed so far is a primary function). To activate a secondary function, first press and then the key below the name of the desired function. A few commonly used secondary functions are, , and .
finds roots of any index. This is really just the opposite of the exponent key. Enter the number under the radical, press the key, then enter the index of the root. Press if finished, or continue the calculation. To compute , enter . Note that the key changes the meaning of the key to . You should get 12 for the answer.
Above the fraction key is the improper fraction function . This is nice for converting a mixed number into a pure fraction (although called improper, a single fraction with any numerator and denominator is usually easier to use in algebraic expressions than the equivalent mixed number). In the section on fractions, we did a calculation that gave the answer . This can be converted to a pure fraction by pressing , which activates the secondary function and displays the fraction . Written as a fraction rather than a mixed number, the answer is .
Another related secondary function is , above the backspace key. The label stands for Fraction-to-Decimal. By pressing this key, any fraction on the displayed will be changed to its decimal form. If the display is a decimal number, the calculator will try to write the number as a fraction, but this is not always possible. So if the decimal number remains, then there is no simple equivalent fraction (remember that the calculator can only do fractions with 3-digit numbers). For example, convert to a decimal just by pressing . You should see 4.6 on the display. Press again to change the answer back to fraction form (you get because the calculator prefers mixed number form). Press to get back to the pure fraction form .

Most everything else
are keys you won't be needing until a College Algebra or Calculus course or beyond. You will learn about the keys for the logarithmic and trigonometric functions later. Most of the secondary function keys are used for probability and statistics.

The volume is rounded off with practical hints on how efficient work can be performed in S-PLUS. The book is well-suited for self-study and as a textbook. [via]
Nicholas Lemann's The Big Test starts off as a look at how the SAT became an integral part of the college application process by telling the stories of men like Henry Chauncey and James Bryant Conant of Harvard University, who sought in the 1930s and '40s to expand their student base beyond the offspring of Brahmin alumni. When they went into the public schools of the Midwest to recruit, standardized testing gave them the means to select which lucky students would be deemed most suitable for an Ivy League education. But about a third of the way through the book, Lemann shifts gears and writes about several college students from the late '60s and early '70s. The reasons for the change-up only become clear in the final third, when those same college students, now in their 40s, lead the fight against California's Proposition 209, a 1996 ballot initiative aimed at eliminating affirmative action programs.
Do these two stories really belong together? For all his storytelling abilities--and they are prodigious--Lemann is not entirely persuasive on this point, especially when he identifies the crucial moment in the civil rights era when "affirmative action evolved as a low-cost patch solution to the enormous problem of improving the lot of American Negroes, who had an ongoing, long-standing tradition of deeply inferior education; at the same time American society was changing so as to make educational performance the basis for individual advancement." Lemann's muddled transition is somewhat obscured by frequent digressions (every new character gets a lengthy background introduction), but a crucial point gets lost in the shuffle, only to reappear fleetingly at the conclusion: "The right fight to be in was the fight to make sure that everybody got a good education," Lemann writes, not to continue to prop up a system that creates one set of standards for privileged students and another set for the less privileged. If The Big Test had focused on that issue, where equal opportunity is genuinely at stake, instead of on the roots of standardized testing, where opportunity was explicitly intended only for a chosen few, it would be a substantially different book--one with a story that almost assuredly could be told as engrossingly as the story Lemann chose to tell, but perhaps with a sharper focus. --Ron Hogan[via]

The development of statistical theory in the past fifty years is faithfully reflected in the history of the late Sir Maurice Kendalls volumes The Advanced Theory of Statistics. The Advanced Theory began life as a two volume work (Volume 1, 1943; Volume 2, 1946) and grew steadily, as a single authored work until the late fifties. At that point Alan Stuart became involved and the Advanced Theory was rewritten in three volumes. When Keith Ord joined in the early eighties, Volume 3 became the largest and plans were developed to expand it into a series of monographs called the Kendall's Library of Statistics which would devote a book to each of the modern developments in statistics. This series is well on the way with 5 titles in print and a further 7 on the way. A new volume on Bayesian Inference was also commissioned from Tony O'Hagan and published in 1994 as Volume 2B of the Advanced Theory. This Volume 2A is therefore the completely updated Volume 2 - Classical Inference and Relationship. A new author, Steven Arnold, was invited to join Keith Ord and they have between them produced a work of the highest quality. References have been updated and material revised throughout. A new chapter on the linear model and least squares estimation has been added. [via]

Scientists have recently discovered a new law of nature. Its footprints are virtually everywhere - in the spread of forest fires, mass extinctions, traffic jams, earthquakes, stock-market fluctuations, the rise and fall of nations, and even trends in fashion, music and art. Wherever we look, the world is modelled on a simple template: like a steep pile of sand, it is poised on the brink of instability, with avalanches - in events, ideas or whatever - following a universal pattern of change. This remarkable discovery heralds what Mark Buchanan calls the new science of 'ubiquity', a science whose secret lies in the stuff of the everyday world. Combining literary flair with scientific rigour, this enthralling book documents the coming revolution by telling the story of the researchers' exploration of the law, their ingenious work and unexpected insights. Mark Buchanan reveals how the principle of ubiquity will help us to manage, control and predict the future. More controversially, he claims that it may well contain the beginnings of a mathematics of cultural and historical change. Every decade sees a major scientific breakthrough that has implications that go way beyond science. 'Ubiquity' is one of them. This book, the world's first on the topic, will change how we think about the world and our place in it. Chaos Disorder from order. Complexity Complexity from simplicity. UBIQUITY World has a natural 'rhythm': there is a mysterious archetypal organisation that works in the world at all levels and which gives rise to a universal pattern of change - in groups of people, things or ideas.

Readers of medical literature are often overwhelmed by the language of statistics and research methodology while trying to extract the best clinical evidence available. 'A-Z of Medical Statistics' is an essential medical statistics dictionary for non-statisticians, and is therefore an invaluable companion for reading medical literature and critically appraising what is read.Statistics and research methods explained in the book's user-friendly A - Z format allow the reader to locate the information required and avoid the time-consuming process of scanning through whole chapters for relevant information. The book provides clear and succinct explanations of those terms frequently encountered in medical statistics, clarifying their meaning and showing the inter-dependency between various important concepts.

Dr. Richard Newcomb, Head of Department
School mathematics should engage students in real mathematics. This view is at the center of the teaching and learning of mathematics at Cistercian. Every departmental course at Cistercian seeks to engage our students in both formal and informal modes of mathematical reasoning. The journey from arithmetic to calculus begins with Cistercian's Middle School mathematics curriculum. The focus here is first on developing the students' understanding of rational arithmetic and basic geometry. The second two years of the Middle School are considered together as serving the purpose of introducing algebra into the treatment of both arithmetic and geometry.
Mathematics in the Upper School begins with Euclid's geometry. Students need to learn geometry, not only because it is indispensable for all of applied mathematics, engineering, architecture, physics, and calculus, but even more importantly because it has simply speaking set the standard that any piece of reasoning must meet to be called a branch of mathematics. Forms VI and VII are a continuation of the earlier forms but the weaving of geometry and algebra is now more complete. Cistercian's mathematics curriculum culminates in Form VIII with a yearlong calculus course taught at the college level with a selection of material which also allows willing students to take the Advanced Placement exams in calculus.
At the same time, topics from discrete mathematics such as counting and probability are important and are included in each required course. Moreover, students wishing to delve deeper into these topics can take advantage of various mathematics electives in the Upper School as well as join Cistercian's Math Club or one of our many math teams.

Homework Helper*
The Homework Helper book is designed to help parents and care givers be more informed about the concepts being covered in the student's math course. Students are encouraged to keep the Homework Helper at home. It contains one activity per lesson including examples of the skills taught in the lesson and several practice problems. Answers to the practice problems are provided in the back of the Homework Helper book.
*Homework Helper included in Bridge to Algebra and Algebra I curricula.
What Makes Carnegie Learning Student Texts Engaging?
Learning By Doing Principles
Carnegie Learning believes that students develop math understanding and skills by taking an active role and responsibility for their own learning. With Carnegie Learning textbooks students become engaged in solving contextual math problems that strengthen their conceptual understanding of math topics. Rather than encouraging students to memorize procedures, we provide them opportunities to think and work together in small groups.
Real-World Context
Students work with their peers to solve real-world problem situations like using percents for leaving a tip in a restaurant or using a graph of an equation to determine the number of days it will take to build miles of highway. They become more engaged in learning mathematics when they see how it plays a significant role in everyday life.
Mathematical Discourse
Throughout the student text icons prompt different forms of student communication. These icons may instruct students to work independently, work with groups, or share ideas with the class. Encouraging mathematical discourse provides opportunities for students to explain their thoughts and processes for solving math problems.

Best General Algebra Book
This is simply the best book to learn abstract algebra from. It has really outstanding chapters on group, ring and field theory, but this is not all: linear algebra, commutative algebra and some graduate topics like representation theory, algebraic geometry and homological algebra are presented in a way that is very well suited for self study: lots of motivation, good examples and good exercises. This book is the unique reference for algebra in the qualifying exam syllabus of the math phd program at Harvard University: check their homepage. I think there is not much left to say!

Math 8
Doug Ingamells, Periods 1, 2 & 6
All classes are composed of 7th and 8th graders. They are usually on
the same page and assignment, except that they have different "block"
days so assignment and due dates can differ. There are two other
sections of Math 8, both taught by Kerry Bayne.
PPS has decided that the first four (of twelve total) chapters in the
algebra text will be part of the Math 8 curriculum. This means that
Algebra 1-2 now starts at Chapter 5, and students must complete the
first four chapters before enrolling in Algebra 1-2. The district
calendar has us completing the Algebra first, then proceeding with
pre-algebra topics at the end of the year. All students in Math 8 should
be in Algebra 1-2 the following year.
PPS uses standard A-F grades. In this class grades are weighted so
that tests count 60% and homework/classwork counts 40%. We use the
standard 90%(A), 80%(B), 70%(C), 60%(D) breakpoints.

The four graphing modes provide a structure of the four sections of the book:
Using function graphing
You may well be familiar with the basics of this type of graph drawing but, unless you have spent many hours using your calculator in conjunction with its operating manual, you will undoubtedly find that there are graphing techniques in this section that are new to you and that are interesting and fun.
Using polar graphing
Units 4 and 5 form a short section involving the use of polar graphing. Polar coordinates are explained and you are shown how to produce spirals and other interesting shapes like the heart-shaped one shown here. This section could be studied independently of the rest of the book.
Using parametric graphing
After an introduction to this graphing mode in Unit 6, the next two units deal with applications in mechanics, and Units 9 and 10 with applications in pure mathematics. Each pair of units could be studied independently.
Using sequence graphing Unit 11 provides an introduction to iterative methods of defining sequences in general and the next four units cover time-sequence graphs, staircase and cobweb diagrams and phase plots. Units 11 to 16 are best worked through in order.
The DfEE in England and Wales published the Key Stage 3 National Strategy, Framework for teaching mathematics: Years 7, 8 and 9. Central to the Framework is the appropriate use of technology, particularly graphics calculators.
This book provides 30 lesson plans, each consisting of a page of teacher notes and one or more student handouts. These are written specifically for the Texas Instruments TI-83 or TI-83 Plus calculators. The teacher notes reflect the lesson structure suggested in the Framework: Starter à Main activity à Plenary session.
Also in the teacher notes is a section containing all the information needed to link the lesson to the National Strategy Framework document.
What calculator skills are needed? The lesson outlines assume a very basic level of competence with the calculator, particularly for the teacher. In every lesson there is reference to the teacher using a view-screen calculator as a sort of electronic blackboard for full-class teaching. Teachers who are not confident users of the calculator will find that a copy of Calculator Maths: Foundations Plus will help them acquire all the basic calculator skills that they will need for these 30 lessons. The other books in the Calculator Maths series are also a useful complement to this one, with lots more activities for use at Key Stages 3 and 4.
This new book is a companion to the very successful 30 Calculator Lessons. It has been written to motivate, challenge, entertain and enlighten students aged 11 to 16.
The new book provides another 30 plans for lessons, each consisting of a page of teacher notes and two more of student handouts. Once again, these are written specifically for the Texas Instruments TI-83 or TI-83 Plus calculators.
However, each of these lessons is based on a simple calculator program that students are encouraged to create for themselves.
Short programs This is certainly not a book of clever and complicated programs for teachers to dazzle the class with!
On the contrary, these photocopiable worksheets, help pupils to create their own short programs and show how they can be gradually built up from the bare bones of a skeleton version to something more sophisticated.

ShapeNumberHandling DataFoundations Plus The first book in a series of five, Foundations Plus covers all the basic calculator skills. Like how to:
The series comprises the 5 books shown above. Lively mathematics books for students aged 12 and up, based on the Texas Instruments graphics calculator range.
The books are written for the powerful TI-83 or TI-84 families of graphic calculators.
The five books in the series are: · Foundations Plus · Number · Algebra · Shape · Handling data
What sort of calculator will I need? The books have been written with the Texas Instruments families of graphics calculators in mind - the TI-83 and TI-84. If you are using another make or model of graphics calculator you may need to adapt many of the activities, although the ideas and principles can still be applied.
What maths does the series cover? Calculator Maths shows how the graphics calculator is much more than just a graphing aid. It's a mathematical laboratory which lets you discover things for yourself.

Document Description
Solving equation is an easy task but solving word problem is difficult do you know why? When
we solve equation all the things are given to us directly and we have to only apply the rules
and do some calculations to get result.
But, in word problems the question is given in the form of word and we have to determine
what we have to calculate and what is given to us.
It is the toughest thing about word problems. Many students squeeze in translating word
problems in mathematical form or terms and most of them need help with math word
problems.
When you solve any word problem you should approach in a proper and systematic way.
Whenever you solve any word problem firstly, you should translate or convert the words into
numeric equation that combine smaller expressions.
After this, solve the equations. You should read the problem properly and try to understand it
what it wants to say. Identify the variables and information that is given in the list and define
what you have to determine.

Algebra 2A/B Syllabus
This course is an extensionBe reminded, Algebra 2 is NOT an introductory course and topics learned in Algebra 1 will not be rehashed but rather built upon. And, because all Indiana state universities and colleges require Algebra 2 for admission, this Algebra 2 course is taught at the college preparatory level and taught for proficiency on university admission tests.
Students will work to their potential and ultimately benefit from taking this class as borne out from recent SAT scores. Those who score well in algebera 2 do well on college admissions tests.
5.Graphing calculators – provided in class, will be used to aid in exploring Algebra; however graphers will not be used as a "crutch" for applications that students cannot perform on their own.
6. A positive attitude – "If there were one word that could be used to describe a successful person, that one word would be ATTITUDE." Bart Starr
Assignments/Make-up Work:
Homework will be assigned on a daily basis and generally due the following day (at the beginning of class). Though assignments are generally not graded, I retain the right to grade homework for completeness and effort, and at times for accuracy. Homework checks/pop quizzes will be given regularly. Problems from recent previous assignments will be given to the student at the beginning of class the next day, to complete in class with use of notes/binder/homework within a reasonable amount of time. Adequate time is allowed to complete the homework check provided the student has completed his or her assignment.
I expect every problem in each homework assignment to be given an honest attempt by you. Each problem should have logical work showneven though you are convinced that your work or answers are wrong. Anything less than an honest attempt is considered incomplete. A zero will be given for a homework assignment turned in with answers only, unless specified by your teacher.
Students will assume the responsibility to find out what work and notes you missed while absent and that you complete those tasks promptly. After your return to school, you will be allowed one day per day absent to complete all missing material. If you miss a homework check, then expect to turn in the appropriate assignment in its place. If you are absent the class before a test/quiz, expect to take the test/quiz on the regularly schedule day (this means you must review on your own). If you are absent the day of a test/quiz, expect to take the test/quiz on the 1st day you return.
Finally, you will receive at most, only half-credit for any late paper.
Classroom Policies:
1. Be respectful at all times (towards me, other faculty, and your classmates). I will respect you.
2. Be on time and prepared (have sharpened pencil, paper, homework, and calculator ready to go when the bell rings!)
3. Be responsible for all material discussed while you were absent on a field trip and upon return the next day, have completed all assignments due. PLAN AHEAD FOR FIELD TRIPS!!!
4. Be on task and use study/homework time to work exclusively on your math assignment. When your math assignment is completed you may then use that extra time to work on another assignment.
5. Be honest with your work on all assignments, projects, tests and quizzes whether graded or not. If you are found to have cheated, you will receive a zero for that grade, your CPG will be docked 5 points, and you will be referred for disciplinary action and a Friday night school.
6. All Manchester Jr/Sr High School rules apply.
Possible Consequences *:
1. Verbal warning
2. A meeting with Ms. Stone
3. Parents called
4. Loss of CPG points (see CPG contract)
5. Written referral
*Any serious infraction will be referred to the office immediately.
Grading:
Your individual midterm and semester grades depend on several different
scores:
1. Tests (a major portion)
2. Announced Quizzes
3. Frequent Pop Homework checks
4. Homework—I reserve the right to grade any assignment. 5. CPG (a score out of 25 points)—recorded at end of semester
6. Extra-credit, recorded at the end of thesemester
Make-ups:
1. If you miss an ANNOUNCED quiz, your grade will be recorded as 0 out of 0. It does not count for or against your grade.
2. If you miss a POP homework check, then I will grade the homework assignment pertaining to the checked material.
3. IF YOU MISS CLASS DUE TO A FIELD TRIP OR PRE-ARRANGED ABSENCE, ALL HOMEWORK, QUIZZES, OR TESTS DUE ARE EXPECTED ON THE DAY YOU RETURN.Field trip participants ARE NOT CONSIDERED ABSENT!!!
4. For all others absences, you have one day for every day you missed to complete the outstanding assignments, tests or homework check. After such time, if the work is still missing, the grade will be recorded as a zero!
You will be expected to keep track of your own point totals. An assignment sheet is provided for that purpose. Grading Scale: (in percents)
Any "rounding" will be done on an individual basis. Attitude, effort, class participation, etc. will be considered in any rounding situation. .5% and above is not necessarily cause for me to automatically round up!
Semester Average = 80% from your total percent in a semester (including any extra credit and CPG) prior to the final exam
+ 20 % from the final exam percent.
If a midterm grade is given, it will be based on your total points earned divided by the total points possible.
Extra credit and CPG are added in when determining the semester grade.
Extra Credit:
There will be minimal opportunities for extra credit. The best way to get extra credit is extra effort. Show me that you are working to your potential. Be an active participator in class. It won't go unnoticed.
HELP:
My job is to help you reach your potential. Your success in this class is vitally important to me. I am often available for extra assistance before each school day (7:45 AM, after each school day until 3:30 PM or later by appointment, and at home, via phone. Students are encouraged to call me at home (982-2949, prior to 8 pm) for extra help with their homework. Further assistance is available from peer tutors in the study hall , via the internet at the website listed on the front of your textbook. After school tutoring is available to all free of charge from 3:30-4:30 PM M-TH.There is also FREE homework assistance through Rose Hulman Institute at 1-877-ASK-ROSE (toll free) every Sunday – Thursday evenings, 7-10 PM, excluding any Rose Hulman breaks.
I want this class to challenge you, to satisfy your intellectual curiosity, and to fulfill your academic needs. You WILL have to work hard, but I can guarantee you that I will be working even harder to see you meet your goals. Let's make this a great school year by working together toward the common goals of academic success and maturity. |

Mathematics
To achieve the goal, the department develops and improves its curriculum integrating strengths of American, Japanese and other countries' curricula. In particular, American textbooks contain various types of basic practice problems, which help students build a solid foundation of each mathematical concept, while Japanese textbooks and problem solving books contain many problems requiring multiple steps for their solution, which help students develop ability to apply their knowledge to solve complex problems. Both American and Japanese textbooks are used. Indian textbooks are also used to take advantage of their clear and easy-to-understand presentation of proofs of theorems and formulas.
The curriculum is constructed taking the cognitive development of each student into account. In general, more abstract concepts are introduced at higher grade levels. At each grade level, students are placed in one of two to three levels that best fits their cognitive and mathematical development. The goal for each level is set so that students will feel that they can reach the goal if, but only if, they put effort into studying mathematics. Each grade level has the following goal:
9th Grade
In the 9th grade, all students are required to take the course "Algebra and Geometry." The goal of this course is to develop student competence to deal with mathematical expressions, the basic language of mathematics. In particular, the course is designed to develop students' fluency in algebraic manipulations with polynomials and irrational numbers and to develop the ability to construct geometric proofs. Students are placed in either an intermediate or an honors level class, based on the results of a placement test. The course includes the following topics: Equations, Inequalities, Exponents and Polynomials, Polynomials and Factoring, Systems of Equations, Radical Expressions and Equations, Relations and Functions, Quadratic Equations, Introduction to Probability and Statistics; Congruent Triangle, Applying Congruent Triangles, Quadrilaterals, Similarity, Circles, Polygons and Areas, Surface Area and Volume.
10th Grade
In the 10th grade, all students are required to take the course "Algebra and Trigonometry." The goal of this course is to continue developing student competence to deal with mathematical expressions. The course develops fluency in algebraic manipulations, especially with rational and radical expressions, and in solving quadratic equations.

12th Grade
In the 12th grade, all students are required to study calculus, and students who wish to major in science, mathematics, medicine, pharmacy, or engineering at college are required to study linear algebra as well. Students who wish to major in economics and commerce in college are strongly encouraged to take linear algebra. Other students may take linear algebra as an elective course. The goal of these courses is to introduce 12th graders directly to their study of mathematics at Keio University and other colleges in Japan and the United States.
"Calculus for Non-Science Majors" course includes the following topics and students will be placed either in an elementary or intermediate level class by grades of Pre-Calculus: Limits of Functions, Derivatives (The Chain Rule, Implicit Differentiation, Parametric Representation, Differentiation of Exponential and Logarithmic Functions, Higher Derivatives), Applications of Differentiation (Maxima and Minima, Inflexion Points, Graph Sketching), Indefinite Integrals (Method of Substitution, Integration by Parts, Partial Fractions), Definite Integrals and Applications (Areas and Volumes).
"Advanced Calculus & Linear Algebra for Science Majors" course is a requirement for students applying to faculty of science and technology, faculty of medicine and faculty of Pharmacy. The calculus part in this course deals with single variable calculus and includes the following topics: Limit of Functions, Continuity, Differentiation, Sketching a Graph, Integration including Integration by Parts and Integration by Substitution, Surface area, Volume, Polar Coordinates, Differential Equations and Infinite Sequences and Series. Linear algebra part in this course includes the following topics: Basic Notions of Vector Spaces, Systems of Linear Equations, Determinants, Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors, Inner Product Spaces up to Orthogonal Projection and Gram-Schmidt Orthogonalization. The calculus part will be taught in the first three quarters of the school year and the linear algebra part will be taught in the forth quarter. This is a very demanding fast paced course and all the students enrolled in the course are expected to devote a lot of time and effort to study outside of class by reading textbooks and solving problems in the textbooks |
Math
The College Prep math curriculum focuses on building a strong conceptual base that helps students to become flexible thinkers, able to apply the mathematics they have learned to a rapidly changing world.
Math teachers have designed materials for incremental learning and to address a variety of learning styles, including visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Students learn concepts and skills by solving carefully sequenced problems; in class, students often work in cooperative groups. Teachers coordinate courses and review frequently so students retain important ideas from year to year. Instead of separate courses in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry, all three areas are addressed in each course of an integrated curriculum. Course materials introduce applications to science and other related fields and provide historical context.
Calculators and computers are important tools of modern mathematics. Teachers instruct students in their appropriate use, but also require a firm grasp of basic skills. Students are required to solve many problems without using calculators. The Math Department uses placement examinations, recommendations, and interviews to ensure that each student enrolls in the most suitable course sequence. Almost all students take four years of mathematics, even though only three are required. Math Club meets regularly to share ideas and investigate problems beyond the scope of the normal curriculum. All interested students are welcome to participate. The club also provides opportunities for students to take part in local and national mathematics competitions.
Math I
Concepts and applications of algebra, problem solving, and geometry are the main topics in this course, designed to prepare students with diverse mathematical backgrounds for Math II. Students learn how to use the scientific calculator to solve problems and use manipulatives extensively to develop spatial visualization skills. They often work together in small groups in the classroom, developing their collaborative skills and their ability to explain mathematics clearly. Students review and practice algebra skills in a wide variety of situations. Topics include proportional reasoning, geometric similarity and transformations, area and perimeter, linear and quadratic equations, and introductory statistics and probability. This course is coordinated with Integrated Laboratory Science.
Math II
This course covers topics from geometry and algebra. The curriculum encourages connections among topics by continually interweaving them. Emphasis is placed on the development of geometric intuition, deductive logic, proof, and a strong foundation in algebra. Group work is encouraged; activities are done in groups, sometimes with physical models and or computers. Class discussions and group activities enrich the learning experience by developing problem-solving and communication skills.
Math III/IIIA
The concept of function serves as a framework for this course. Mathematical modeling (deriving a mathematical expression from real-world data) is introduced, and students do experiments and use graphing calculators to gather information. Students purchase a course-specific graphing calculator and are instructed in its use. Algebraic skills are practiced within the context of solving problems, and geometric interpretations and graphing are emphasized. Students continue the study of linear and quadratic equations begun in Math I and Math II, adding new functions to their repertoire: polynomials, trigonometric functions, exponentials, and logarithms. This course is offered at two levels: Math IlIA and Math III. Both are college preparatory and cover functions and applications. Math IIIA is accelerated, covering topics usually included in algebra honors, trigonometry and precalculus. It prepares students for Level IIC of the College Board SAT Subject Test in Mathematics. Math III covers topics normally taught in advanced algebra and trigonometry.
Math Analysis & Intro Calculus
This course begins with material from pre-calculus, including a study of functions (polynomial, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric) and their graphs. It continues with topics in analytic geometry, linear algebra, vectors and discrete mathematics. The course introduces topics from calculus, such as limits, continuity and derivatives and their applications. Students learn the material through lecture, group work, and homework.
Applied Math
This
course explores topics across a broad spectrum, including pre-calculus,
calculus, economics, finance, and statistics. The emphasis will be on
applications of mathematics to a variety of fields. In the first semester, we
will introduce some of the ideas of set theory, statistics (linear regression
models), economics (supply, demand) and finance (including simple and compound
interest). Second semester, we will continue with more finance (annuities and
loan amortization), probability, single variable statistics (normal curve
distributions) and calculus (limits, rates of change, derivatives, and
integrals). The goal is to expose students to a variety of techniques and
applications that will be useful in diverse academic pursuits as well as life
in general.
Math V: AP Calculus
This two-semester course covers differential and integral calculus at the college level. There are two versions. Math VAB is the basic course, covering techniques and applications of derivatives and integrals. It prepares students for the "AB" Advanced Placement Examination. Designed for the strongest math students, Math VBC covers the same material, as well as topics like infinite series and multivariable calculus and prepares students for the "BC" Advanced Placement Examination. The department advises students on which course to take based on their previous math work at College Prep. VBC is not recommended for students receiving lower than an A- in Math Analysis and Introduction to Calculus.
AP Statistics
How accurate are opinion polls? Where is the economy really heading? Can you believe the latest "study" about health and diet? The media appear to give definitive answers to questions like these, without examining how strong or weak the evidence really is. In Statistics, we look at how data are gathered and presented, and how certain the conclusions drawn from them are likely to be. This means using standard formulas, but we will also look at the math behind the formulas, including probability and its applications. There are lab exercises (sometimes with edible "equipment") and mini-projects in which students design and carry out original investigations. There are also informal discussions of items in the news. This two-semester course is equivalent to a semester of statistics in college and prepares students for the AP exam. It may be taken after or at the same time as Applied Math, or Math Analysis and Introductory Calculus.
The Art of Problem Solving
High
school math includes many beautiful topics, but there is so much more math that
is accessible to bright and curious high school students like you that we don't
include in our curriculum. There just isn't time to do it all. For those of you
hungry for more math, The Art of Problem Solving is for you. It is a
one-semester math elective which will cover topics in arithmetic, number
theory, and counting and probability, as well as some algebra and geometry that
isn't already covered in Math I, II, or III/IIIA. Students must have completed
Math III/IIIA or equivalent to enroll. You don't have to like math contests to
take this course, but if you do like them, this course might help you improve
your scores. However, the best reason to take this course is that you will
learn new math, and equally importantly, it will be interesting and fun.

I have a number of problems based on online rational expression calculator I have tried a lot to solve them myself but in vain. Our teacher has asked us to figure them out ourselves and then explain them to the whole class. I reckon that I will be chosen to do so. Please help me!
Due to health reasons you may have not been able to attend a few classes at school, but what if I can you can simulate your classroom, in the place where you live? In fact, right on the laptop that you are working on? All of us have missed some lectures at some point or the other during our life, but thanks to Algebra Buster I've never been left behind. Just like an instructor would explain in the class, Algebra Buster solves our queries and gives us a detailed description of how it was solved. I used it basically to get some help on online rational expression calculator and quadratic equations. But it works well for just about everything you can think of.
I'm also using Algebra Buster to help me with my algebra homework problems. It really does help you quickly comprehend certain topics like subtracting fractions and long division which would take days to understand just by reading tutorials. It's highly recommended software if you're looking for something that can help you to solve math problems and show all pertinent step by step solution. Two thumbs up for this software.
You all must be pulling my leg! How could this not be popular knowledge or promoted here? How and where should I get additional info for trying Algebra Buster? Forgive anyone for being a bit doubtful, but do either of you know whether or not I can receive a test copy to use this software? |

This book is a first introduction to linear algebra for students majoring in scientific, engineering and social science disciplines. It stresses both practical computation and theoretical principles, and proceeds at a very leisurely pace. One of its characteristic features is that it deals with systems of linear equations at an early stage and uses this theory for the introduction of later techniques and for the proofs of most of the usual vector space theorems. Vector spaces are initially introduced in terms of ${\bbfR}\sp n$, a later chapter gives a more formal treatment. This results in a fair amount of repetition but enables one to choose between a more elementary or more advanced course. The authors have included sections on applications such as difference equations, differential equations, interpolation and least squares approximation, and each chapter includes extensive exercise sections. For the second edition much of the material has been extended and the layout of the text has been improved. There is a new section on linear transformations, and an instructor's manual and a student solutions manual are now available.

Textbook:The ALEKS program is not textbook specific. Any appropriate algebra
book may be used in conjunction with the course.
Textbooks bundled with the ALEKS program, Prealgebra by Martin-Gay,
and Elementary Algebra or Intermediate Algebra by Dugoploski,
are available but not required. The Dugoploski texts are
available to download by section at no extra charge directly from
ALEKS.
Grading:Grading for the class is based solely on results of ProctoredAssessments
taken on the ALEKS program. Proctored Assessments may only be taken
at the Math Lab at Bakersfield College. Students must present a picture ID. Only the calculator
provided by the ALEKS program may be used during the Proctored Assessment.
You are required to come in at least four times during the semester to
test. If you come in four or more times to test, your highest score will
be the score that counts for a grade. If you come in fewer than 4 times
to test, we will average your two highest scores to get your grade for
the course. The grading scale for all three courses is shown below:
Math B50:100-90% = A, 89-80% =
B, 79-70% = C, 69-55% = D, 54% and below = F
Math B60:100-90% = A, 89-80% =
B, 79-70% = C, 69-55% = D, 54% and below = F
Math B70:100-90% = A, 89-80% =
B, 79-70% = C, 69-55% = D, 54% and below = F
Drop
Policy:Each student is expected to put in a minimum
of 8 hours each week (11 hrs/week for Summer session) on the ALEKS
program. To check your hours, see "Total time on the ALEKS program" under
Report. Time on the ALEKS
program may be done from any Internet-accessible computer. Student
time is checked each Tuesday morning. Excess time one week is credited
toward future weeks. Students are required to to put in 4 hours the
first week, then 8 hours per week after that. If a
student has not done 4 hours in the first week they will be dropped; if
they make up the total time during the second week they may request to
reinstate. In later weeks if the student is 11 or more hours short on
time, the student will be dropped from the course and may request a
one-time only reinstatement. If a student becomes 11 or more hours short
on time again after being reinstated, he or she will be dropped
from the course a second time and will not be reinstated without
permission from the instructor.
Tutoring:All students are strongly encouraged to come to the Math Lab to get
face-to-face, one-on-one help. We definitely do not expect you to work
on the program without the help of an instructor. The Math Lab has
faculty and staff ready to help you understand and be successful. You
may use the computers in the Math Lab when you need help, or whenever
you have some time between classes and would like to work on your ALEKS
account. If you find you are having trouble with a topic at home, make a
note of the topic or print the page and move on to a different topic.
Then come to the Math Lab and let us help you. However, we do not offer
help with math problems over the phone or by e-mail. Click "LINKS" at
the bottom of this page for online sources for math help.
Incomplete
Policy:Students may request an Incomplete grade at the end of the semester
in order to complete the class the following semester. A request form for
an Incomplete will be available at the Testing Desk in the Math Lab during the
last two weeks of class (during summer, last week only).Details
on how to qualify for an Incomplete can be found on your syllabus
(distributed during orientation). If a student fails to complete
the material the following semester, the Incomplete grade automatically
becomes an F. If you are receiving Financial Aid based on units, the units
for your class count only during the semester you originally enrolled in
the class.
Transfer
Policy: In
order to be allowed to transfer to one of the ALEKS-based hybrid Math
courses after the 60% drop date (the last day to drop a semester-length
class with a "W"), you must obtain approval from the Mathematics
department chair (MS-107E, 395-4331) with a form that can be obtained at
the Math Lab.Once
approved, the form must be returned to the Math Lab and you
must complete an orientation.At
that time, you will be provided with a transfer form totake to the Admissions & Records office for completing the
transfer process.
Disability
Services:Students with disabilities who believe they may need accommodations in
this class are encouraged to contact Disabled Student Programs &
Services in FACE 16, 395-4334, as soon as possible to better ensure such
accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion.
Academic
Dishonesty:Any form of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated and will
result in a zero for that assignment. This is the only warning you will
receive. See the Student
Handbook for possible disciplinary consequences of Student Misconduct
at Bakersfield College. |

Algebra for Dummies
One of the most commonly asked questions in a mathematics classroom is, "Will I ever use this stuff in real life?" Some teachers can give a good, convincing answer; others hem and haw and stare at the floor.
The real response to the question should be, "Yes, you will, because algebra gives you power" – the power to help your children with their math homework, the power to manage your finances, the power to be successful in your career (especially if you have to manage the company budget).
The list goes on.
Algebra is a system of mathematical symbols and rules that are universally understood, no matter what the spoken language.
Algebra provides a clear, methodical process that can be followed from beginning to end to solve complex problems.
There's no doubt that algebra can be easy to some while extremely challenging to others.
For those of you who are challenged by working with numbers, Algebra For Dummies can provide the help you need.
