Extractions: graphing calculator resource books textbooks instructional videos software ... new items New in 2000 Using the TI-89 to Explore Algebra, Precalculus and Statistics The TI-89 is the first hand-held calculator that combines the features of a graphing calculator with computer algebra capabilities. The purpose of this book is to explain how and when to use the TI-89 graphing calculator in an algebra, precalculus or statistics course. The contents parallel that in Exploring Algebra, Precalculus and Statistics by Best, Penner and Schneider Statistics with the TI-89 Graphing Calculator An Introduction and More This is a compact statistical text, similar to the text Introduction to Statistics with the TI-83 Graphing Calculator by Robert Schneider and George Best, which covers both the fundamentals of statistics as well as several advanced topics. The TI-89 is used throughout the text to illustrate theory and as an important time and effort saving tool to perform statistical calculations and analyze data. The TI-89 instructions include a review of the basics for new users, information on using the new downloadable Stats/List Editor, and several calculator programs to perform simulations. Topics include: organizing data, basic probability concepts, probability distributions, sampling confidence intervals, tests of hypotheses, regression and correlation, analysis of variance, and Markov Processes.

Extractions: Volume 7 Number 2 February, 1999 In the last issue, we suggested that any syllabus is greatly improved if it is carefully based upon, and even includes critical excerpts from, the author's personal teaching philosophy. We concluded with the admonition to draft this philosophy, then to " paste it above your desk, and consult it before you start every lesson plan and before you go to each class session. Some see teaching as "constructive chaos" in which varied activities contain an underlying purpose that not all students (or peer reviewers) easily see as associated with our learning objectives. Yet, once directed to look beyond limited personal experience (and perhaps our superficial "common sense"), it is possible to see "order in chaos" clearly and wonder why it wasn't seen earlier. About ten years ago, the concept of fractals and implications of "chaos theory" reached the layperson via several popular books. Through them we learned to see order in natural objects such as clouds, trees or coastlines, which we formerly had considered as "irregular," "random" or as having no order. An example might be a winter view of a tree with its outline of leafless branches. At first it looks complex and devoid of order, but we also can see it as built of a variant of the letter "Y" connected repeatedly at different scales. Whether we view the entire tree, a branch, or the veins in a single leaf, the pattern is of the same kind no matter what scale we view it at. We recognize order in such shapes, and we now call such arrangements "fractal."

Extractions: I think, most people agree that it is more difficult to be a teacher nowadays. The children do not respect the teachers as we did. Besides, there are more temptations which distract the concentration of the children. After all, people think that study is not so important because even the university graduates cannot get a satisfactory job. They believe, education cannot secure our living anymore. Facing so many difficulties in this field, teachers need support to strenghten/keep their faith in the career. I remembered, when I left the old schhol, one colleagues told me "we are still teaching because we have hope. Once the hope is lost, you will not want to teach anymore."

Extractions: AT THE EDGE OF CHAOS University of Western Sydney-Hawkesbury E-mail: B.Hodge@uws.edu.au V.Dimitrov@uws.edu.au Chaos theory considers the edge of chaos as a special region in the state space of nonlinear systems, where order and chaos meet to give birth to dramatic changes in systems' dynamics. It is a region where all established patterns dissolve their rigid boundaries and become permeable and fluid, able to coalesce and evolve, percolate and urge forward new emergent phenomena. In social systems the edge of chaos is where 'social magic' manifests. By 'social magic' Young means "appearance of events which do not follow logically and coherently from what has gone before"; social magic relates to happening of wondrous things "which surprise, astonish and bemuse those of us who are accustomed to orderly and routine consequences in every day life" [1]. Individual experience is full of such 'wondrous things' as our living is mostly at the edge of chaos - it neither unfolds as a sequence of orderly-organized patterns nor disintegrates into an entire chaos. At the edge of chaos, self-organizing capacity of complex life dynamics manifests its potential not only to sustain the integrity of each individual's life but also to support its unfolding. The unfolding of human life reflects the process of evolving of the whole universe. Both processes are like fractals nested within each other - they keep centered at one and the same spiritual core. The ability to experience the attracting power of this core we refer to human spirituality.

Extractions: home Subscribe for free news reviews ... about us Ray Girvan discovers that the race to create ever more real computer games is having a beneficial effect on scientific computing Given the importance nowadays of cellular automata across a wide range of scientific computing disciplines, it's easy in hindsight to dismiss as short-sighted the 1974 Time magazine article that complained of the 'millions of dollars of valuable computer time wasted' by enthusiasts of the first popular CA, John Conway's Game of Life. Mainstream observers, however, commonly underestimate the role of fringe activities in propelling science and technology. Well-known examples are how wars have fostered innovation in areas such as communications, cryptography, medicine and aerospace; and how erotica has been a major factor in pioneering visual media, from the first printed books to photography, cinematography, videotape, or the latest online video streaming. This article aims to be a sampler of a less controversial, but still often underrated, symbiosis between scientific computing and computing for leisure and entertainment. Cinema graphics are the most impressive example of cutting-edge computing applied to entertainment. It's not normally considered science, but a large and lucrative industry has developed around solving the essentially scientific problem of simulating the physical world, whatever the scale. At one extreme, the New Zealand company Weta Digital's crowd animation system, Massive, required terabytes of data to create the battle scenes in

Each team is given 45 minutes to complete the problem solutions in the Power competition. There are also team, individual, and relay competitions. Teams that do well on the first two problem sets can compete in the National competition. The BEST program is designed to teach teamwork, problem solving, project management, and pride in task completion within the constraints of a short time period and limited physical resources. Through partnerships of participating schools with corporate sponsors, youth teams are supported by mentors who serve as positive role models for the next generation of scientists, engineers, and technologists. The goal is to demonstrate the excitement of advanced technical careers to young people who are nearing decisions on college plans. Team membership is open to all interested students, and participation is without fee to the students or the schools.

Extractions: Have students read through newspapers or newsmagazines or watch television shows that contain stories of crimes that have been solved using DNA. Afterward, they can write a report that summarizes the crime and the role DNA played in capturing the criminal. Encourage students to use graphic organizers such as diagrams and charts to explain how the DNA evidence was used. Ask students to read science fiction books or stories written before 1970, with cloning or genetic engineering as the main plot. Ask them to think about how the fictitious plots diverge from todays scientific beliefs. Students can then write a book report comparing the science fiction with present-day technological advances. Invite students to get together with other interested classmates to create a compilation of their book reports. Encourage students to survey their family members for different physical traits, such as eye and hair color, and behavior traits, such as novelty seeking. Remind students to record family responses and write a report about the survey results. Point out that they should be looking at trait similarities and differences within their family. They should also make a hypothesis on whether these similarities or differences might be due to genes or environment. Suggest that students use photos or drawings to illustrate and clarify their reports.
