This e-book is the fruit of a symposium in honor of Ted Eisenberg in regards to the growing to be divide among the maths neighborhood and the maths schooling neighborhood, a divide that's sincerely bad for either. The paintings confronts this anxious hole via contemplating the character of the connection among arithmetic schooling and arithmetic, and through interpreting components of commonality in addition to confrontation. It seeks to supply perception into the mutual gain either stand to realize by means of construction bridges in keeping with the common bonds among them.

Probabilistic Expert Systems (CBMS-NSF Regional Conference Series in Applied Mathematics)

Probabilistic professional structures emphasizes the fundamental computational ideas that make probabilistic reasoning possible in specialist structures. the most important to computation in those platforms is the modularity of the probabilistic version. Shafer describes and compares the critical architectures for exploiting this modularity within the computation of earlier and posterior possibilities.

Surveys in Differential-Algebraic Equations III

The current quantity includes survey articles on a variety of fields of Differential-Algebraic Equations (DAEs), that have frequent functions in managed dynamical platforms, in particular in mechanical and electric engineering and a powerful relation to (ordinary) differential equations. the person chapters offer reports, shows of the present nation of study and new strategies in - Flexibility of DAE formulations - Reachability research and deterministic worldwide optimization - Numerical linear algebra tools - Boundary worth difficulties the consequences are awarded in an obtainable type, making this publication compatible not just for lively researchers but in addition for graduate scholars (with a great wisdom of the elemental ideas of DAEs) for self-study.

It was in this context that she also called for a reexamination of ICMI’s relationship with the IMU (p. ” To me, it was immediately clear that her position was untenable. As I wrote in my review of the proceedings of the ICMI centenary (Menghini et al. N. Fried must be subordinated to more general social issues, or, at the other extreme, (2) mathematics has a privileged position in dealing with global social problems such as poverty and gender inequality. (Fried 2009, p. 524) As human beings, of course, we must be concerned with social justice.

Although Norma’s paper was the pretense, Ted and I wanted our piece as much as possible to be like the conversations he and I had so often. I think it was Ted’s idea that the paper should take the form of an exchange of letters. He wrote about his vision and his discontent, and I responded. Although it gave to me, in effect, the last word, still it allowed us both to write a more or less connected account of our take on the state of mathematics education research. The format also allowed a certain informality appropriate to airing views rather than presenting findings.

And most of you know exactly what I am speaking about. On the Education of Mathematics Teachers and Educators for Higher Degrees In many countries these days the content-level of a math teacher’s background in mathematics ends with the awarding of their first degree. The assumption that is made in many of these Masters and Doctoral programs is that the teachers know their content, now let’s teach them “how to teach” (and all that implies). This is a fundamental error. Most of the teachers I know have tremendous holes in their content knowledge, and they have not mastered many of the topics we think they have learned.
