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

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

is the reason for the Pentium flaw. First of all the flaw is about a floating point unit (FPU) which is a microprocessor inside the CPU. This basically helps the computer figure out more complex mathematic problems. This flaw made huge mathematical problems come out wrong by a little less than a hundred‚ but most people probably wouldn’t notice it. The flaw was discovered by a math professor in 1994 and he attempted to bring it to Intel’s attention. When they did not want to listen

rederick smith The Golden Ratio March 31 2011 1. The introduction: Hello my name is Frederick Smith‚ I will be speaking you about a fascinating thing that is in everything‚ it’s a part of you‚ it created you & its not just in you‚ its all around you. Its also in all plants and in all animals. Take for example an octopus has eight tentacles hence the name “octo’~pus‚ each one of its tentacles has the exact number of suckers on it and each tentacle is the same length pretty amazing right...
