83. The MATHMAN Book calculus By and For Young People (ages 7, yes 7 and up) The Math Program Don and Jerry s great way of teaching math loving it! http://www.shout.net/~mathman/

The above is a copy of Don's watercolor painting of The Nautilus shell; it is Don's logo. The shell is beautiful, its shape a mathematical curve, and can be obtained from Shell World, at seashellworld . Also see the equation for the shell making a spiral IES java applet making a Nautilus, Xah Lee's work on spirals (and other curves) and student work on the growth of the Nautilus (chapter 6), and comparing the Spirals of the Nautilus shell, the Fibonacci numbers, and the Equal Tempered Chromatic Music Scale WELCOME ! Refreshing insights into the learning and doing of some important mathematics, by young people (while doing lots of arithmetic, using many hands-on materials, science to math activities, and the non-trivial use of calculators and computers) for children, as well as adults. Don assumes only that a student can count. Try sample problems from Don's books by chapter! Don does best when you buy his books "Calculus By and For Young People (ages 7, yes 7 and up)" and "Calculus By and For Young People-Worksheets"

86. LC Teaching And Professional Activities That s pretty much the way I feel about mathematics and teaching. My own extracurricular professional activities have, for the most part, involved the http://scidiv.bcc.ctc.edu/LC/Homepage/TeachandProfActs.html

Larry Curnutt Teaching and Professional Activities I believe in the church of baseball. I've tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones. I've worshiped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms and Isadora Duncan . I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic's rosary and there are 108 stiches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology. You see, there's no guilt in baseball. And it's never boring...... It's a long season and you gotta trust it. I've tried 'em all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the church of baseball. (Annie Savoy, opening soliloquy in the movie Bull Durham) That's pretty much the way I feel about mathematics and teaching. I love to work to understand mathematics and then try to clarify and explain it to others. There's nothing else I care to do, day after day, year after year not fish, not ski, not train dogs, not travel, not loaf nothing! The hardest thing about teaching is laying back, keeping my mouth shut. The most important things a teacher can do are to set contexts, provide motivation and applications, and, above all, to ask (not just answer) the right provocative questions.

Newsletter "Those who can.....teach!" Math 2001 Volume 4, Issue 3- September 16, 2001 presented by Walter McKenzie - Surfaquarium Consulting Innovative staff development: Technology Applications, Multiple Intelligences, Curriculum Integration and Creative Education. Let's see what we can do for your staff! There is always a demand for new and different Math sites, and this annual edition of the newsletter is always much anticipated. Math covers such a range of topics there's always something new and different to explore. If you're looking for previous Math site recommendations, check out http://surfaquarium.com/news.htm - there are lots of classic sites there. Thanks to Jerry Blumengarten for his in put on our Math edition - I'm always glad to hear from subscribers who would like to cast their votes for favorite sites on a topic. We have a baker's dozen of recommended links this week! My thoughts and prayers go out to the citizens of Manhattan and Arlington as I write this morning. The worldwide composition of our I.T. newsletter membership is important to me, but even more important today. As educators we have a unique opportunity in society to teach cooperation, tolerance and understanding to all children. As we proceed in our work,then, let us be firm in the conviction that one day all the peoples of the Earth will live in integrity and justice and peace.

Resources for Teaching Complex Variables Riemann Surface for the Logarithm Function. Created using F(z) for Windows This web site contains resources for individuals teaching an introductory, undergraduate course in complex variables. Over the years I've tried to create a series of activities, F(z) files, and Maple worksheets that can be used to create an active classroom learning atmosphere that replicates what I do in my calculus classes and that gives meaning to the various concepts from complex analysis. Site Contents: [Activities] [ F(z) Programs] [Links to other sites] [Bibliography] Activities You'll need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view most of these activities. Euler's Identity, the Complex Exponential, and the Polar Form, Revisited This is a brief activity in which students derive Euler's identity using Taylor series. They then plot a partial sum of the resulting series for as a vector using the tip to tail method of vector addition. A "spraling in" of the vectors illustrates the convergence of the series. Adapted from Visual Complex Analysis Mapping Properties of Complex-valued Functions In this activity students use F(z) and work in small groups to investigate mapping properties of various functions. Each group is given a particular function and a particular set of domains and is asked a series of questions that focus on mapping properties and that seek to compare and contrast properties of the function with its real counterpart. Each group then presents its findings to the rest of the class in the computer lab.

Year-by-year activities of Penn Math grad students Below is a description of the typical sequence of events in the career of a Penn Math grad student. For further details, click here Ph.D. students First year Second year ... Switching between degree programs Ph.D. students First year: Fully-supported Ph.D. students ordinarily receive a fellowship in their first year, during which they have no teaching responsibilities and may take four courses. Upon arrival in the Ph.D. program , new students take the Masters Preliminary Exam on key undergraduate mathematics; this serves as a placement exam. Those who pass the exam ordinarily take the beginning Ph.D. level courses in algebra (Math 602/603), analysis (Math 608/609), geometry-topology (Math 600/601), and an elective. (Exception: Those who enter with a more advanced background have an opportunity to place out of the beginning courses, and instead to move on to more advanced courses.) Those students who do not pass the Masters Preliminary Exam upon arrival will ordinarily take the Masters Proseminar (Math 504/505), and possibly one or more of the masters level courses in algebra (Math 502/503), analysis (Math 509/509), and geometry-topology (Math 500/501), instead of the corresponding 600-level courses. These students need to pass the prelim by the end of their first year, to demonstrate their ability to move on to more advanced material. Students whose native language is not English need to demonstrate their ability to communicate in English, during their first year. Those who cannot do so satisfactorily upon entry will take a special course in their first semester, designed to help them improve their English communication skills. Demonstrating this ability in the first year fulfills one of the two language requirements, in the case of non-native English speakers.
