In Teaching Multiplication Using LEGO(r) Bricks, Dr. Shirley Disseler has developed activities that work to help students learn the basics of multiplication, using a common toy available in most classrooms and homes-LEGO(r) bricks

Multiplication is not simply the rote memorization of times tables. Students need to understand multiplication concepts. LEGO(r) bricks are the perfect manipulative to help students model, utilizing their creative and logical processes together.

In this book, the hands-on activities using LEGO(r) bricks help students learn: the meaning of...

Structured as a dialogue between a mathematician and a physicist, Symmetry and Quantum Mechanics unites the mathematical topics of this field into a compelling and physically-motivated narrative that focuses on the central role of symmetry.

Aimed at advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in mathematics with only a minimal background in physics, this title is also useful to physicists seeking a mathematical introduction to the subject. Part I focuses on spin, and covers such topics as Lie groups and algebras, while part II offers an account of position and...

Alexander Z. Warren has taught mathematics at the prestigious Phillips Academy for thirty years. He has channeled all of the lessons he's learned as an elementary-school math teacher into innovative and intuitive math-learning material.

You Can Count On It can be used for students in any grade. The first part of the book presents simple mathematics for children in first and second grades. Learning these math foundations, like the four fundamental operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), will give kids a solid base to support more advanced skills.

Disk-Based Algorithms for Big Data is a product of recent advances in the areas of big data, data analytics, and the underlying file systems and data management algorithms used to support the storage and analysis of massive data collections. The book discusses hard disks and their impact on data management, since Hard Disk Drives continue to be common in large data clusters. It also explores ways to store and retrieve data though primary and secondary indices. This includes a review of different in-memory sorting and searching algorithms that build a foundation for more sophisticated...

In Teaching Division Using LEGO(r) Bricks, Dr. Shirley Disseler has developed activities that work to help students learn the basics of division, using a common toy available in most classrooms and homes-LEGO(r) bricks

True understanding of division goes far beyond memorizing facts. Modeling the process of division with LEGO(r) bricks helps students visualize the math problem. We know that students learn in many different ways. This book provides a variety of modeling techniques using LEGO(r) bricks, allowing all students to experience that "Aha I get it " moment.

The subject is at the crossroads of Discrete Mathematics and Computer Science, with a strong probabilistic flavor. The main tools used before are on the one hand analytic (generating functions and complex analysis), and on the other probabilistic (strong laws, central limit theorems, martingales, etc.) Often, professionals worked with one set of tools or the other. We offer a reconciliation to espouse these fields to come in hand-in-hand offering a harmonious and beneficial marriage.

This book is designed to serve as a textbook for postgraduates, researchers of applied mathematics, theoretical physics and students of engineering who need a good understanding of classical mechanics. In this book emphasis has been placed on the logical ordering of topics and appropriate formulation of the key mathematical equations with a view to imparting a clear idea of the basic tools of the subject and improving the problem solving skills of the students. The book provides a largely self-contained exposition to the topics with new ideas as a smooth continuation of the preceding ones....

This book has more than 3100 addition facts for daily practice by students. Each page has 2 different sets consisting of 18 problems each. It is recommended for students to attempt 1 set daily for consistent practice. Book starts with addition strategies to help students grasp basic concepts and get started. Once students start gaining confidence in individual facts, they can review their knowledge by solving mixed facts. Book can be used to track practice time for each set. Date and time can be recorded...

Our growing reliance on electronic calculation has led to the marginalisation of basic arithmetic skills. This challenges the way numeracy is both taught and learned. "Consequently, " the author says, "you and your children will need better methods and faster strategies for calculating - unless, that is, you are happy to literally take the change you are given "

Existing arithmetic methods are broken down and then re-assembled as a set of rapid mental strategies. These methods increase understanding and close the speed gap between human and electronic calculation.
