Math Resources for Everyday Use
By Brady Huebner This is an annotated bibliography of math resource for teachers and students. The specific class that I had in mind would be a secondary math class in an urban, but not inner city, setting. Most of the students would be lower to upper middle income of mixed gender and race. Many of the books I have chosen are considered gender specific although that may be stereotypic and not necessarily true. In either case, I have chosen books and article that are attractive to both genders. I am trying to steer away from the old fashioned idea that math is for boys only. Section I: Math and everyday consequence. 200 Percent of Nothing : An Eye-Opening Tour Through the Twists and Turns of Math Abuse and Innumeracy
by A. K. Dewdney S. Ross (Editor) Paperback - 192 pages (May 1993)
Synopsis
Dewdney lists the many ways we are manipulated with fancy mathematical footwork and faulty thinking in print ads, the news, company reports and product labels. He shows how to detect the full range of math abuses and defend against them. Packed with real-world examples, this book is based on Dewdney's articles on math abuse in Scientific American. Illustrations. $20,000. Innumeracy : Mathematical Illiteracy and Its Consequences
by John Allen Paulos
Paperback - 180 pages Rep edition (January 1990) Book Description
Dozens of examples in innumeracy show us how it affects not only personal economics and travel plans, but explains mischosen mates, inappropriate drug-testing, and the allure of psuedo-science.

  • A madeo Avogadro conte di Quaregna e Ceretto was born August 9, 1776, in Turin, Italy and died July 9,1856, also in Turin. He was a physicist who first set forth the hypothesis known as Avogadro's Law, which states that equal volumes of gasses or 'vapours', at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules. This law explained why gasses chemically combine in simple proportions by volume and led Avogadro to believe that the elements of hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen exist as diatomic molecules in nature. A professor of higher physics at the University of Turin for many years, he stated by his hypothesis in 1811, but it was not generally accepted until after 1858, when the Italian chemist Stanislao Cannizzaro constructed a logical system of concepts of modern chemistry. Avogadro's number is the number of molecules in one gram-molecular-weight of any substance. AVOGADRO'S LAW , a statement that under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, equal volumes of different gasses contain an equal number of molecules. This empirical relation, proposed by the Italian physicist Amadeo Avogadro in 1811, can be derived from the kinetic theory of gases under the assumption of a perfect (ideal) gas. The law is approximately valid for real gases at sufficiently low pressures and high temperatures.

    Place: Course Outline
    This course will examine the extensive research literature on the role and participation of women in mathematics at all levels. An approximately equal amount of class time will be given over to each of these topics: gender differences as deficiencies or hurdles: spatial visualization, mathematics anxiety, mathematics achievement, attribution theory; social influences on mathematics participation: mathematics as a male domain, classrooms, curriculum, and teachers; gender differences as under-recognized strengths: cooperative learning, connections and relations, integrated knowing, hearing the voices of women; a radical feminist perspective and critique of research in mathematics education and gender. The primary objectives of this course are (1) to familiarize you with the extensive research literature on mathematics and gender, (2) to critically analyze particular topics within that body of literature, and (3) to help you develop your own perspectives on gender equity in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Assignments Complete all readings and be prepared to discuss them in class.

    Alexander Ostrowski 's father Mark Ostrowski was a merchant in Kiev. Alexander's mother was Vera Rashevskaya. He attended primary school in Kiev, then spent a year at a private school before entering the Kiev School of Commerce. Faddeev in [6] (see also [7]) recalled what B N Delone told him concerning Ostrowski meeting D A Grave , then the head of the mathematics school at Kiev. In 1908 Ostrowski, then a fifteen year old schoolboy:- ... a pupil at the school of Commerce who had shown considerable interest in mathematics, came to Grave on the recommendation of his mathematics teacher. After several talks, Grave was convinced of his remarkable abilities and accepted him in his seminar as a full and equal participant. For three years Ostrowski participated in Grave 's seminar while completing his course at the School of Commerce. In 1911 he was awarded the title of Candidate of Commerce and he was awarded the Gold Medal. Ostrowski had not been a mere observer in

    Explanation of Project
      Students provided a word processed book report and research bibliography, and created an illustrated book cover, after reading a biography or autobiography on a famous scientist or mathematician. Students used the links provided on the Internet pages to identify famous scientists/mathematicians prior to selecting a biography subject. Emphasis was provided on the contributions of women and individuals from other cultures. Students participated in the conduct of a survey gathering, collating, and publishing relevant survey data. The students took the survey themselves. Data was gathered from two other middle schools, one in Illinois and the other in South Carolina. Frisbie students compared the data and made bar graphs to display on the Internet. Conversations between the students from the three schools are also on the Internet page.

    Pierre de Fermat (1601 - 1665)
    From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. While Descartes was laying the foundations of analytical geometry, the same subject was occupying the attention of another and not less distinguished Frenchman. This was Fermat. Pierre de Fermat , who was born near Montauban in 1601, and died at Castres on January 12, 1665, was the son of a leather-merchant; he was educated at home; in 1631 he obtained the post of councillor for the local parliament at Toulouse, and he discharged the duties of the office with scrupulous accuracy and fidelity. There, devoting most of his leisure to mathematics, he spent the remainder of his life - a life which, but for a somewhat acrimonious dispute with Descartes on the validity of certain analysis used by the latter, was unruffled by any event which calls for special notice. The dispute was chiefly due to the obscurity of Descartes, but the tact and courtesy of Fermat brought it to a friendly conclusion. Fermat was a good scholar, and amused himself by conjecturally restoring the work of Apollonius on plane loci. Except a few isolated papers, Fermat published nothing in his lifetime, and gave no systematic exposition of his methods. Some of the most striking of his results were found after his death on loose sheets of paper or written in the margins of works which he had read and annotated, and are unaccompanied by any proof. It is thus somewhat difficult to estimate the dates and originality of his work. He was constitutionally modest and retiring, and does not seem to have intended his papers to be published. It is probable that he revised his notes as occasion required, and that his published works represent the final form of his researches, and therefore cannot be dated much earlier than 1660. I shall consider separately (i) his investigations in the theory of numbers; (ii) his use in geometry of analysis and of infinitesimals; and (iii) his method for treating questions of probability.

    Introduction
    Click here to see the introduction in ASL. Mathematics developed through evolution of ideas, observations, and experimentation by men and women from all occupations and of varying nationalities. These people recognized a need or were curious about a concept. Frequently they discovered that other people in different parts of the world were thinking about and investigating the same theories. Sometimes they pooled their efforts and worked together; sharing notes and having eloquent discussions on these topics. Other times, they worked separately to discover that their ideas and approaches to a problem were the same. On many occasions, each mathematician derived the same conclusion from a completely different approach. Math is not magic. It requires hard work and p
