    Extractions: POINTERS: Texts Software Web links Selected topics here The Mathematics Subject Classification uses the classification 00 principally for non-subject-specific materials, such as conference proceedings, dictionaries, handbooks, and problem books. It also includes subject-specific items not typically noted in the Mathematical Reviews database by the AMS, such as elementary mathematics, recreational mathematics, and elementary applications of mathematics. In general, such material is not included in this collection either. In many cases an occasion arises to treat an elementary question in a non-elementary way, and to so illustrate some branch of more advanced mathematics. When such an illustration is saved in this collection, it is classified according to the tool used (contrary to AMS guidelines for the use of the MSC!). It seems difficult to contemplate a "history of general mathematics". One could of course consider a general history of mathematics, but such material is in 01: History and Biography See also this history of recreational mathematics Material from the pre-college curriculum is mostly absent from this collection.

    Extractions: Recreational mathematics. Although the term seems like a classic oxymoron, it is actually a class here at Temple. Designed to get people thinking about the magic of math, the course is taught by a handful of professors, including one who knows the trick to making math fun. The competition, sponsored by the actuarial science program in the risk, insurance and healthcare management department of the Fox School of Business and Management, pitted 11 area high schools in a series of math events. Winning was secondary to encouraging an interest in mathematics. And, if a trick or two could be used to advance the cause, then Chein was up for the task. Problem Solving through Recreational Mathematics with Bonnie Averbach, an actuarial science professor at Temple. An avid fan of logic and math puzzles, Chein began toying with the idea of creating a course on recreational mathematics in the early 1970s. As quickly as you can say presto chango, the class was born. It is now offered once a year and has many faculty members vying to teach the class.

    Extractions: e are living in a time when good, fundamentally sound education is essential to our future. The onset of the information age presents entirely new challenges to us as a society in the 21st century. Both children and adults are being asked to adapt to new technologies, to learn new skills, and to think in new and smart ways. Clever brainteasers such as those found in the Visual Brainstorms cards are designed to introduce you to smart ways to think. Kids will have fun learning while chuckling at the amusing way the questions are illustrated; teachers will enjoy the variety of problems to present to inquiring minds; and adults will discover that they are often on common ground with their younger counterparts as they struggle to organize their thoughts and arrive at a solution to the question.

    Extractions: In the preface to this really colossal (736 pages!!) book Martin Gardner says that his long and happy relationship with Scientific American began in 1952 with an article on the history of logic machines - curious devices for solving problems in formal logic. And that it was an article on hexaflexagones, which in December of 1956 started in Scientific American the regular, now legendary, column titled "Mathematical Games" ran for twenty-five years - a quarter of a century! Since then fifteen anthologies of these monthly columns have been published, and now Martin Gardner selected his best columns which brought the greatest reader response, and made this one-of-a-kind super collection. To every of 50 chapters placed in twelve sections Martin Gardner added a lengthy addendum and selected bibliography.

77. Davis Associates, Inc. On Dragon Curves
    Number Representations and Dragon Curves I , C. Davis DE Knuth, J. recreational math., Vol. 3, No. 2, pp. 66-81 (April 1970).  
    http://www.davis-inc.com/dragon/index.shtml
    
    Extractions: The classical Dragon curve, discovered by physicist John E. Heighway, is the curve that results when a sheet of paper is folded in half, then folded in half again, and again, etc. and is then unfolded in such a way that each crease created by the folding process is opened out into a 90-degree angle. The "curve" refers to the shape of the partially unfolded paper as seen edge on. If one travels along the curve, some of the creases will represent turns to the left and the others turns to the right. The term "classical" Dragon curve refers to the curve that results when the original folds (as opposed to the more numerous creases that are created) are all in the same direction. For example, a classical Dragon curve consisting of 1024 = 2 segments (10-th order Dragon curve) is created by making ten successive folds all in the same direction. Other distinct Dragon curves can be created by altering the sense of successive folds. For example, a 10-th order non-classical, or generalized, Dragon curve can be created by making ten folds, some of which are left-over-right and the others left-under-right. N folds result in an N-th order Dragon curve. That is, N folds yield a Dragon curve with 2

    Extractions: Mark Sovitsky This unit was developed at San Diego State University in EDTEC 596 , Interdisciplinary Teaching with Technology, Bernie Dodge , Instructor. This interdisciplinary unit will focus on recreational diving. Students will explore the effects that the ocean has on divers as well as the effects that divers have on the ocean. Students will also learn math through the perspective of diving. This unit is anchored in grades seven to nine with the learning emphasis placed on math and physical education. The unit can be extended to grades ten to twelve with very little modification. Students will explore recreational diving and topics including rates of change (with respect to oxygen consumption and related topics), understanding charts and graphs (with references to slope), and physical effects of diving on the body, along with how these topics are related. Math Standards Addressed Physical Education Standards Addressed Students will be given the opportunity to practice math skills and learn about the physical aspects of recreational diving by exploring information on the web. Math skills will range from learning function and algebra concepts, problem solving and mathematical reasoning and putting mathematics to work.
