The Truth About the REVISED NCTM Standards Arithmetic is Still Missing! by Bill Quirk wgquirk@wgquirk.com Contrary to Recent Reports, the NCTM Has Not Changed Its Philosophy They Still Call It "Arithmetic" ... Published in American Educator (AFT), But Also Ignored by The NCTM Contrary to Recent Reports, the NCTM Has Not Changed Its Philosophy On April 12, 2000, The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) released Principles and Standards for School Mathematics PSSM ), a 402 page revision of the NCTM Standards. The next day The New York Times reported: "In an important about-face, the nation's most influential group of mathematics teachers announced yesterday that it was recommending, in essence, that arithmetic be put back into mathematics, urging teachers to emphasize the fundamentals of computation rather than focus on concepts and reasoning." It was further reported that "the council added strong language to its groundbreaking 1989 standards, emphasizing accuracy, efficiency and basic skills like memorizing the multiplication tables." Compare the preceding New York Times quotes to the following contradictory quote, published by the NCTM (in the third PDF file

Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to. God said that He was going to make Adam a companion and that it would be a woman. He said, "This pretty lady will gather food for you, she will cook for you, and when you discover clothing, she will wash it for you. She will always agree with every decision you make and she will not nag you, and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will praise you! She will bear your children. and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. "She will NEVER have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it." Adam asked God, "What will a woman like this cost?" God replied, "An arm and a leg." Then Adam asked, "What can I get for a rib?" Of course the rest is history......... Quit Smoking In 7 Days!

66. Sumerian Arithmetic Sumerian arithmetic. In the general case one finds solutions for the ai coefficients so that following sum equals the number in question. http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/analysis/sumerian/

Sumerian Arithmetic Written by Paul Bourke March 1999 The ancient Sumerian mathematics was based upon a weird mixture of base 6 and 10. In our decimal system a number is decomposed into multiples of powers of ten. In the general case one finds solutions for the a i coefficients so that following sum equals the number in question. a n n + a n-1 n-1 + ..... + a + a + a So for example 8562 = 8 * 10 Arithmetic in other bases follows the same system, for example, in base 6 a number is represented as follows. a n n + a n-1 n-1 + ..... + a + a + a For example, the base 10 number 8562 would be written as 103350 base 10 base 6 The sumerian system was built up of an alternating mixture of the two bases, 10 and 6, which has been referred to as a sexadecimal system. A number was decomposed as follows: a + a + a + a + a + a + a + a + a a 12960000 + a 2160000 + a 216000 + a 36000 + a 3600 + a 600 + a 60 + a 10 + a Using the earlier example base 10 sumerian = 1 * a + 3 * a + 7 * a + 4 * a + 2 * a Unlike the general case which can be used to represent any number no matter how large, the Sumerian system stopped at 12960000. Indeed this was a highly significant number to them, similar to our infinity.

73. Adding Sequences There is in fact some general rules which allow you to do some interestingcalculations with arithmetic sequences. general rules. http://www.mathgym.com.au/htdocs/add.htm

Return to MATHGYM ATHGYM NOTES Summing Sequences Arithmetic Sequences 1 , 5 , 7 , 12 ,... is an example of a sequence of numbers. The (...) at the end means that the sequence continues indefinitely. Each number in a sequence is called a term . In the sequence shown, 1 is the first term, 12 is the fourth term and we call the general term the n th term. The sequence1 , 4 , 7 , 10 ,... is a special sequence because the difference between any two consecutive terms is the same. We say that the sequence has a common difference of 3. Such a sequence of numbers which differ from the next number by the same amount is called an arithmetic sequence . We can represent an arithmetic sequence as a + (a+d) + (a+2d) + (a+3d)+...to n terms ( that is there are n terms in the sequence ) where the variable "a" is the first term and "d" is the common difference. Look closely at the sum : 1+2+3+4+...+17+18+19+20 . Do you notice that the outside terms (that is term one and term twenty) add to 21. Now go to the next two terms moving towards the middle terms (terms 2 and 19) - they add to 21 as well. In fact we can take each pair of numbers in a similar fashion and they will all add to 21. Since we have an even number of terms there will be 10 pairs of numbers all adding to 21.

77. Welcome To General Multiprecision PYthon The general Multiprecision PYthon project (GMPY) focuses on Pythonusable modulesproviding multiprecision arithmetic functionality to Python programmers. http://gmpy.sourceforge.net/

Last updated on: 2003, Aug 8; for GMPY release: 1.0 alpha GMPY Project goals and strategies The General Multiprecision PYthon project (GMPY) focuses on Python-usable modules providing multiprecision arithmetic functionality to Python programmers. The project mission includes both C and C++ Python-modules (for speed) and pure Python modules (for flexibility and convenience); it potentially includes integral, rational and floating-point arithmetic in any base. Only cross-platform functionality is of interest, at least for now. As there are many good existing free C and C++ libraries that address these issues, it is expected that most of the work of the GMPY project will involve wrapping, and exposing to Python, exactly these existing libraries (possibly with additional "convenience" wrappers written in Python itself). For starters, we've focused on the popular (and excellent) GNU Multiple Precision library, GMP , exposing its functionality through module gmpy The GMPY Module Existing Python modules expose a subset of the integral-MP (MPZ) functionality of earlier releases of the GMP library. The first GMPY goal is to develop this module into a complete exposure of MPZ, MPF (floating-point), and MPQ (rational) functionality of current GMP (release 4.0), that will fully support current Python (release 2.3) and its handy 'distutils' (and also support a "C API" allowing some level of interoperation with other C-written extension modules for Python). Note : the module's ability to be used as a "drop-in replacement" for Python's own implementation of

Abstract. Stephen Wassell replies to the question posed by geometer Marcus the Marinite: If one can define arithmetic and geometric sequences, can one define a harmonic sequence? Arithmetic, Geometric and Harmonic Sequences Stephen R. Wassell Department of Mathematical Sciences Sweet Briar College Sweet Briar, Virginia USA A sking the right question is half the battle. Ever the investigative geometer, Marcus the Marinite came up with an excellent question involving the three principal means. If one can define arithmetic and geometric sequences, can one define a harmonic sequence? [ ] It turns out that the answer has some interesting nuances. Although the answer is yes, the main distinction is that the numbers in a harmonic sequence do not increase indefinitely to as they do in arithmetic and geometric sequences. In developing the answer, an easily applied general form of a harmonic sequence is obtained. a a a a a n a n a n be any three in a row; then for this to be an arithmetic sequence, it must be the case that . It may be more intuitive to consider the general form of an arithmetic sequence: start with any number, say
