Algebra with applets; concept development and practice Presenters: Dr Peter Boon, Dr Martin van Reeuwijk, Freudenthal Institute, The Netherlands Email: p.boon@fi.uu.nl, m.vanreeuwijk@fi.uu.nl Abstract: Over the past years, many applets have been developed that can be used in the learning and teaching of algebra. At the Freudenthal Institute, development and research have been integrated to explore the added-on value of applets for mathematics education. In this workshop we will use a few algebra applets to illustrate the potential of applets. We distinguish model applets and practice applets, from concept development to reinforcement of skills. With examples from various curriculum development projects we will elaborate on the various kinds and uses of applets. Participants will get hands-on experiences with these applets and we will discuss the potentials and pitfalls of using applets. The applets that will be used can be found on the WisWeb-site: www.wisweb.nl. No experience necessary. Topics to be covered include, secondary education, algebra and applets.

Its guidelines are followed here. Mission Statement The Math Working Group is chartered to continue the task of facilitating the use of mathematical formalism on the Web, both for scientific documentation and for education. This involves the development of a next version of the MathML specification, maintenance of and encouragement of the use of the present MathML 1.0 Recommendation , continued liaison with other Working Groups within the W3C to ensure that the potential of MathML is realized, and relations with other organizations designed to strengthen the position of MathML and the use of math on the Web. This will mean that the use of math in Web documents will be encouraged by the W3C, to which the MathML specification belongs, and should significantly contribute to the usefulness of the Web for science, technology and education. The continuation of the work on mathematics on the Web falls well within the User Interface Domain. Scope Maintenance and clarification of the MathML Specification, a W3C Recommendation.

Available for the first time in single-user and Enterprise editions, Mathcad 11 delivers not only the desktop calculation power engineers demand, but also organizational benefits that will bring increased ROI and improved efficiency to the engineering process. “Engineering calculations represent a large investment of both time and money that is not fully delivering on its potential,” said Chris Randles, CEO of Mathsoft Engineering and Education, Inc. “Spreadsheets and calculators fail to expose and capture the design rationale that goes into calculations, limiting a company’s ability to manage, improve and reuse one of its most highly leveraged assets: engineering expertise.”

Great Teaching Ideas Communicating Mathematics Through Technology Follow-up Project 2 Submitted by Jay Roth Mark Ruth Roger Quigley This project was designed to utilize technology in order to explore geometric relationships. The technology, Geometer's. Sketchpad version 3.0, is available in a Mac or Windows format from Key Curriculum Press (a demo version available to download at hftp://www.keypress.com - look under dynamic geometry software for GSP). This project was created under Windows 3.x environment. You, as an instructor, may wish to copy the sketches "Triangll" and "Trigl" to the system's hard drive or you may access it from a floppy disk. There are two geometric relationships studied in this project: The study of Isosceles Triangles , their base angles, and the bisector of the vertex angle. This portion supplies two worksheet forms to accommodate the students who are familiar with Geometer's Sketchpad, and those with limited Geometer's Sketchpad experience; The study of Right Triangle Trigonometric Ratios (ie. sine, cosine, tangent). This portion supplies only a single worksheet and is suggested for those students with Geometer's Sketchpad experience for they will be measuring angles and segments and performing calculations with those measurements.

PDF version (113 KB) Math on the Web: A Status Report July, 2001 Focus: Distance Learning by Robert Miner and Paul Topping, Design Science, Inc. The six months since the last Status Report have seen steady incremental improvement in support for Math on the Web. There has been some progress with browser support, and more activity with authoring tools. However, some of the most notable developments have been in the area of support for math in distance learning tools. In this volume of the Status Report, we begin with a brief survey of what people are doing with math and science communication on the Web, and the techniques they are using to do it. We will then take a look at some notable Math on the Web news and announcements from the last six months. Finally, we end by taking a closer look at what has been happening in the distance learning arena. The Promise and the Problem of Math on the Web The problem of communicating Math on the Web is really no different than communicating math via other media. Namely, authoring and displaying mathematical notation is difficult. On top of that, the Web is a dynamic medium, where users can interact with rich media documents in sophisticated ways. This introduces a whole new layer of challenges and possibilities for engaging, interactive communication between authors and readers. In spite of the fact that math and science communication on the Web requires special skills and tools, along with a healthy dose of ingenuity, this has not stopped people from taking advantage of the Web's potential. Many innovative Web sites, some new, some old, show what is possible with today's technology.

LiteracyConnections.com Poems in Math Class? Yeah, Write! Greg Tang Award-Winning Author of Math for All Seasons The Grapes of Math Math Appeal and The Best of Times How do we foster a love for learning? When we teach children to read we share colorful picture books filled with exciting stories. In science, we do lively and engaging hands-on experiments, using fun props such as soda bottles and bouncing balls. Yet how do we teach math? Often, intimidating numbers and symbols cover the board. Kids break out in a sweat trying to memorize formulas and multiplication tables. Is this encouraging a love for the process of solving problems and seeking solutions? Making Math Fun Fortunately, math doesn't have to be this way. It can be made engaging, entertaining, and even exciting! We need to refocus our efforts and emphasize relevance and understanding, rather than number crunching. To accomplish these things, I believe in integrating math with language and art. Words and images are the keys to communicating mathematical reasoning and insight. These tools can connect math with a world of things real and imaginary that matter to kids and have the power to make math intuitive, clear, and meaningful. It is through these connections

Project IV (MATH4072) 2004-05 Configuration Spaces in Topology and Robotics M Farber Description The notion of configuration space has several distinct meanings. Most broadly, the configuration spaces are varieties of all possible states of a mechanical system. The concept of a configuration space provides an important tool allowing application of topological methods in engineering: instead of studying a particular mechanical system one may study its configuration space and translate the control theory problems to geometric and topological ones. Among interesting specific examples are the configuration spaces of mechanical linkages which represent a remarkable class of closed smooth manifolds. Originally, configuration spaces were introduced in 1962 by E. Fadell and L. Neuwirth as varieties of all possible positions of n distinct points in an Euclidean space. These configuration spaces are closely related to the theory of braids. In 1968, V. I. Arnold used information about cohomology of these configuration spaces to study compositions of algebraic functions. Configuration spaces of a different kind appear in the theory of convex billiards. The cohomology algebras of cyclic configuration spaces are used in dynamics to predict existence of periodic billiard trajectories in multidimensional convex billiards.
