For more than 25 years, Mathematica has been the principal computation environment for millions of innovators, educators, students, and others around the world. This book is an introduction to Mathematica. The goal is to provide a hands-on experience introducing the breadth of Mathematica with a focus on ease of use. Readers get detailed instruction with examples for interactive learning and end-of-chapter exercises. Each chapter also contains authors' tips from their combined 50+ years of Mathematica use.

The unique feature of this compact student's introduction is that it presents concepts in an order that closely follows a standard mathematics curriculum, rather than structure the book along features of the software. As a result, the book provides a brief introduction to those aspects of the Mathematica software program most useful to students. The second edition of this well loved book is completely rewritten for Mathematica 6 including coverage of the new dynamic interface elements, several hundred exercises and a new chapter on programming. This book can be used in a variety of courses, from precalculus to linear algebra. Used as a supplementary text it will aid in bridging the gap between the mathematics in the course and Mathematica. In addition to its course use, this book will serve as an excellent tutorial for those wishing to learn Mathematica and brush up on their mathematics at the same time.

Smart implementation of the Common Core State Standards requires both an overall understanding of the standards and a grasp of their implications for planning, teaching, and learning. This Quick-Start Guide provides a succinct, all-in-one look at * The structure, terminology, and emphases of the Common Core mathematics standards for middle school. * The meaning of the individual content standards within all six domains--Ratios and Proportional Relationships, the Number System, Expressions and Equations, Functions, Geometry, and Statistics and Probability--with an emphasis on areas that represent the most significant changes to business as usual. * How the content standards and practice standards connect across grade levels to build on prior learning, deepen conceptual understanding, promote real-world application, and prepare students for high school level mathematics. Here, middle school mathematics teachers and teacher leaders will find information they need to begin adapting their practices to ensure that all students master the challenging material present in the standards. A practical lesson planning process to use with the Common Core, based on Classroom Instruction That Works, 2nd Ed., is included, along with three sample lessons. LEARN THE ESSENTIALS OF THE COMMON CORE The grade-level and subject-specific Quick-Start Guides in the Understanding the Common Core Standards series, edited by John Kendall, are designed to help school leaders and school staffs turn Common Core standards into coherent, content-rich curriculum and effective, classroom-level lessons.

The motivation for writing this short guidebook is to help refugee families in Ukraine to keep their children learning mathematics with fun during this very distressful time in their lives. CAMathories’ Education Team consists of renowned Cambridge early years learning specialists in mathematic and literacy. We intend to provide handy and useful guidelines for learning mathematics and language to the refugee parents and those in a dire situation to do some educational, yet entertaining activities together with their children with limited time and minimal resources readily available to them. Education can be fun and easy, anytime, anywhere if we know how. This guidebook is designed to be brief to fit the exceptional circumstances of refugee parents or alike. Yet, anyone who is short of time and teaching resources is also welcome to download this guidebook for free.

Oxford Mathematics for the Caribbean has been updated to cater for the needs of the classroom in the 21st century. Features of each book in the series include: prior learning points; fully differentiated exercises to cater for a wide range of ability; activities and investigations to encourage mathematical thinking; summaries of the main points of each unit with questions to check understanding, so that students can test themselves; and regular revision exercises to help monitor progress. The series is intended for secondary school pupils studying for the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) examinations in mathematics.

Text was written specially by Caribbean authors for Caribbean secondary schools students of all abilities .It provides them with a firm foundation to raise competence and confidence toward CXC examinations. The information is presented in clear language which makes concepts and theories easier to understand.
