For the mathematical literature project‚ I chose to read Overcoming Math Anxiety‚ by Sheila Tobias. Before reading Overcoming Math Anxiety‚ I had never read a book on the subject of math before. This wasn’t because I don’t like reading; in fact‚ the truth is quite the opposite. Rather‚ I had never read a math book because I know I am quickly frustrated by mathematical concepts. Or‚ to put it more bluntly‚ because I don’t much care for most math subjects. I have never had reason to read such a book

model the world around us. Mathematical Modeling As we approach day to day life we often need to quantify the things around us‚ giving structure and numeric value to various situations. This ability to add structure enables us to make choices based on patterns we see that are weighted and systematic. With this structure in place we can model and even predict behavior to make decisions. Adding a numerical structure to a real world situation is called Mathematical Modeling. When modeling

Cryptarithmetic‚ also known as alphametics‚ ‚ crypt-arithmetic‚ Verbal arithmetic ‚ cryptarithm or word addition‚ is a type of mathematical puzzle in which most or all of the digits in a mathematical expression‚ such as a sum‚ are substituted by letters or other symbols. In a typical puzzle‚ there is a one-to-one correspondence between the numbers and the letters or symbols replacing them. That is‚ the same digit is always represented by the same letter or symbol. The objective of the puzzle is

antisubmarine‚ and mining operations. The scientific approach to decision making usually involves the use of one or more mathematical models. A mathematical model is a mathematical representation of an actual situation that may be used to make better decisions or simply to understand the actual situation better. The following example should clarify many of the key terms used to describe mathematical models. EXAMPLE 1 Maximizing Wozac Yield Eli Daisy produces Wozac in huge batches by heating a chemical

math anxiety always have the feeling of incapability of doing activities‚ which involve mathematics. Moreover‚ other math anxious students look for other way to avoid doing any mathematical tasks. Some of these techniques are going to the restroom‚ sharpening pencils‚ talking with seatmates and work on other non-mathematical tasks. They act up sufficiently to be punished by some penalty‚ which tends in taking them away from mathematics (Schwieger‚ 1995) Some studies indicate that math anxiety

Morphological image processing Mathematical morphology (MM) is a theory and technique for the analysis and processing of geometrical structures‚ based on set theory‚ lattice theory‚ topology‚ and random functions. MM is most commonly applied to digital images‚ but it can be employed as well on graphs‚ surface meshes‚ solids‚ and many other spatial structures. Topological and geometrical continuous-space concepts such as size‚ shape‚ convexity‚ connectivity‚ and geodesic distance‚ were introduced

Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS RELATED LITERATURE Introduction A well designed lesson with interesting activities becomes meaningful only when they affect the student in the process (Astin‚ 1993). A carefully designed teaching method can make teaching and learning effective (Chianson‚ 2008). One of these many teaching methods that result to positive effect on students’ achievement and retention of information is cooperative learning (Johnson & Johnson‚ 1991). Cooperative learning due to
