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: Math on the Web From Cornell University General Topics Ask Dr. Math - College students and professors helping K-12 students with their math questions, based at Swarthmore College and staffed mainly by Swarthmore students, staff, and faculty. Students are encouraged to send in their math questions. Algebra For Everyone - A collaborative math project with Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh that uses computer and artificial intellignce tutors to revitalize math education in local public schools. Calculus Help - A professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Hawaii, authored these notes to help students learn how to use, not just understand, the concepts of calculus. A total of fifteen topics are covered and include max-min problems, exponential growth, and the derivation of Kepler's second law. CHANCE - This data base contains materials designed to help teach a CHANCE course. CHANCE is a new introductory course being developed cooperatively by several colleges and universities. It is a case study course based upon current chance events as reported in the daily newspapers. CHANCE is designed for undergraduates, but may be of interest in high schools, as well. Flash Cards for Kids - This is an interactive flash card site. You can choose among addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division; simple or complicated problems; and how many digits the numbers will have. While this isn't exactly high school material, it's a nice site, so I'm including it anyway. Enjoy, and show it to your kid sister or brother!
NSU ICAMP Topic 2 fractals and chaos. chaos theory and fractal geometry are cutting edge knowledge Teaching Focus Exploring mathematics using World Wide Web. http://polaris.nova.edu/MST/ICAMP/
Extractions: Nova Southeastern University 1. ICAMP '97 The purpose of the ICAMP '97 is to provide gifted, talented and creative youngsters opportunities to pursue their interests in the relaxed summer atmosphere of a university campus environment with other youngsters of similar abilities. The learning activities are designed to provide students with interesting, challenging, and unique experiences. The ICAMP '97 provides math enrichment to help students develop a sense of discovery and problem-solving skills in both applied and theoretical mathematical situations with the computer and Internet as tools. The ICAMP helps students to understand that studying mathematics and science now will be key to career opportunities in the technology driven 21st century. Research Lab experiments, field studies, Web exploring, challenging projects, collaborative learning and recreational activities such as tennis, swimming and basketball will add fun and excitement to the ICAMP. 2. Program Goals and Objectives
Teachers Empowering Teachers In addition, each teacher will teach a fractal Scenario, or adaptation thereof, There is a continuum of teaching activities between routine basic skills http://thales.cica.es/icme8/wgtg/tg19/allen/allen.poster2.html
Extractions: The central aim of the project is three-fold: to help teachers integrate and use manipulatives, computer software, and calculator technology to make the teaching and learning of secondary school geometry an engaging, dynamic, inquiry oriented activity consistent with the recommendations of the NCTM Curriculum and Evaluation Standards to use their work with geometry as a springboard for vertically integrating geometric and visual methods and techniques into other courses that they teach in the secondary mathematics curriculum; and to engage and assist in efforts that will help transfer the project work to the classrooms of their district and regional colleagues.

Extractions: Mathematics Consulting Services Rare is the student who is not fascinated by the beauty of fractals, or the teacher who is not captivated by the surprises of chaos. Multiple media will be used to illustrate the interplay between fractals and chaos, and their connection with mathematics and our world. Monica Neagoy was educated in France, Asia and the U.S. with her Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Maryland. Her exposure to many cultures, her mastery of several languages, and her professional involvement in both the arts and sciences give her a unique perspective on the learning and teaching of mathematics. She is a national mathematics consultant (ie., The Annenburg/CPB Channel, The American Association for the Advancement of Science, PBS) and the head judge for MATHCOUNTS organization. Since 1985, she has worked with in-service teachers independently and through Georgetown University. She is also a professional actor and is the artistic co-director of the professional LE NEON Theater in Washington, D.C. This will be an exciting evening with Monica Neagoy on March 9, 2001.

Extractions: Educational Student resources Teacher resources Maths software ... Interactive maths This page is mainly designed to try to keep track of some of the possibilities for mathematics education of the Internet, especially of the World Wide Web (WWW). There seems to be several potential uses of the Internet in mathematics and mathematics education. These are still rather severely constrained in many cases by accessibility issues, although time has seen these diminish, a trend that will presumably continue. Opinions about the Internet appear to lie on a wide continuum from one extreme, reminiscent of a Brave New World A global classroom is now a desirable possibility; we should think of ourselves as residents of the global village and take advantage of the possibilities offered by email and the WWW Students are more likely to engage fruitfully with Internet-based materials than traditional media Education can and should be restructured to take advantage of online learning. This seems to be especially so in tertiary education. The penetration of the Internet into homes is happening so fast that home learning via the Internet TV is not far away and a serious alternative to formal schooling; already very many Australian students have better access to the Internet at home than at school.

It comprised a number of courses offered at the Graduate Certificate level and catered for teachers across the whole curriculum range, from K to 12 and TAFE. All teachers participating were required to enrol in the Core Unit plus at least one Extension Unit. The core unit was designed to introduce teachers to a number of mathematical topics, presented in such a way as to be suitable for a general audience. The Extension Units - one for teachers of the K-4 curriculum, one for 5-8 teachers, one for 9-12 teachers and the fourth for TAFE teachers - were intended to extend the mathematical ideas in a way that was appropriate for the particular group of teachers involved and to put things in an educational context. The program was funded by a grant won from the Commonwealth Government's Department of Employment, Education and Training, and was presented by staff from the University's Mathematics and Education Departments as well as involving a number of well-qualified Consulting Teachers from around the state. The courses were very well received by teachers and the program won a Teaching Excellence Award from the University of Tasmania.
