  • Fundamental Theorems in Mathematics
    SOME FUNDAMENTAL THEOREMS IN MATHEMATICS OLIVER KNILL Abstract. An expository hitchhikers guide to some theorems in mathematics. Criteria for the current list of 243 theorems are whether the result can be formulated elegantly, whether it is beautiful or useful and whether it could serve as a guide [6] without leading to panic. The order is not a ranking but ordered along a time-line when things were writ- ten down. Since [556] stated “a mathematical theorem only becomes beautiful if presented as a crown jewel within a context" we try sometimes to give some context. Of course, any such list of theorems is a matter of personal preferences, taste and limitations. The num- ber of theorems is arbitrary, the initial obvious goal was 42 but that number got eventually surpassed as it is hard to stop, once started. As a compensation, there are 42 “tweetable" theorems with included proofs. More comments on the choice of the theorems is included in an epilogue. For literature on general mathematics, see [193, 189, 29, 235, 254, 619, 412, 138], for history [217, 625, 376, 73, 46, 208, 379, 365, 690, 113, 618, 79, 259, 341], for popular, beautiful or elegant things [12, 529, 201, 182, 17, 672, 673, 44, 204, 190, 245, 446, 616, 303, 201, 2, 127, 146, 128, 502, 261, 172]. For comprehensive overviews in large parts of math- ematics, [74, 165, 166, 51, 593] or predictions on developments [47]. For reflections about mathematics in general [145, 455, 45, 306, 439, 99, 561]. Encyclopedic source examples are [188, 705, 670, 102, 192, 152, 221, 191, 111, 635].

  • A Student's Question: Why the Hell Am I in This Class?
    Why Are We In This Class? 1 A Student’s Question: Why The Hell Am I In This Class? Note. Mathematics of the current era consists of the broad areas of (1) geometry, (2) analysis, (3) discrete math, and (4) algebra. This is an oversimplification; this is not a complete list and these areas are not disjoint. You are familiar with geometry from your high school experience, and analysis is basically the study of calculus in a rigorous/axiomatic way. You have probably encountered some of the topics from discrete math (graphs, networks, Latin squares, finite geometries, number theory). However, surprisingly, this is likely your first encounter with areas of algebra (in the modern sense). Modern algebra is roughly 100–200 years old, with most of the ideas originally developed in the nineteenth century and brought to rigorous completion in the twentieth century. Modern algebra is the study of groups, rings, and fields. However, these ideas grow out of the classical ideas of algebra from your previous experience (primarily, polynomial equations). The purpose of this presentation is to link the topics of classical algebra to the topics of modern algebra. Babylonian Mathematics The ancient city of Babylon was located in the southern part of Mesopotamia, about 50 miles south of present day Baghdad, Iraq. Clay tablets containing a type of writing called “cuneiform” survive from Babylonian times, and some of them reflect that the Babylonians had a sophisticated knowledge of certain mathematical ideas, some geometric and some arithmetic. [Bardi, page 28] Why Are We In This Class? 2 The best known surviving tablet with mathematical content is known as Plimp- ton 322.

    “One can invent mathematics without knowing much of its history. One can use mathematics without knowing much, if any of its history. But one cannot have a mature appreciation of mathematics without a substantial knowledge of its history.” Abe Schenitzer, Five Fingers to Infinity. BOOK LIST FOR LIVING MATH LESSON PLANS Cycle 1, Unit 1 (C1U1) Advanced / High School Levels Ancients and Early World Cultures Resources Used In Multiple Lessons and Units The parent introduction letter has a great deal of information on math activity books used in multiple units.

  • BEYOND the TEXTBOOK – February 2020
    MATHEMATICS: BEYOND THE TEXTBOOK – February 2020 DCBEAGLE Challenges ~ Douglas Buchanan www.dcbeagle.com [email protected] One of the rewards of running my programme of challenges is to observe pupils working collaboratively. I only wished I had witnessed this in my early stages of teaching. The discussion between the pairs is constructive, it gives more confidence to the weaker character, it forces them to think in a different way. Of course there are pitfalls with the system but the confidence the pupils gain outweigh the negatives. Working collaboratively An article from the University of Michigan gives you the theory of collaborative learning and practical organisation ideas: “Working collaboratively allows students to tackle more complicated and more conceptually difficult Problems. Carefully managed, collaborative learning can be a powerful tool for teachers to use during classroom instruction. Group work supports the generation of a variety of ideas and strategies to be discussed and considered, and it enhances the perseverance of students in tackling more complicated multistep and multipart Problems.” Student guidelines for group work • Move into your groups quickly and get right to work. • Read the instructions aloud or repeat what the teacher has challenged you to find out. Be sure every group member knows what the challenge is. • Part of group work is learning to listen to each other. Don’t interrupt your classmates. Make sure each person’s ideas are heard and that the group answers each person’s questions. • If you are confused, ask your group to explain. If no one in the group can answer the question, and it is an important question, raise your hand for the teacher.

Seminars typically require little or no advanced mathematical knowledge are open to anyone. *Unless specified otherwise, seminars are held Thursdays 12:30-1:45 pm in MS 109. Thursday, April 26, 2012 • Speaker: Dr. Eli Levin, The Open University of Israel, Israel • Title: Generalized Christoffel Functions and Extremal Problems Thursday, April 19, 2012 • Speaker: Huy Huynh • Title: Estimating the Maximum Probability of Categorical Classes and Applications to Biological Diversity Measurement Thursday, April 12, 2012 TALK • Speaker: Dr. Carolyn Yackel, Mercer University • Title: Observing Math in Temari; Making Temari to Make Visual Math • Abstract: Even though wallpaper stores have books and books full of designs, mathematicians know there are only 17 basic wallpaper patterns. Would you believe that there are only 14 basic finite spherical symmetries? We will examine the classification of finite spherical symmetries and delight in their visual representation via the traditional Japanese art of embroidered thread balls, called temari. • Bio: Carolyn Yackel was educated at the University of Chicago (B.S.) and at the University of Michigan (M.S., Ph.D.), where she trained as a commutative algebraist. She's now an associate professor at Mercer University, where she studies the implications of mathematics for fiber arts and vice versa--an emerging field usually referred to as math and fiber arts. This subject brings her much joy as it marries her two loves. She enjoys working both alone and with her major collaborator, Sarah Marie Belcastro, with whom she recently edited their second book, Crafting by Concepts WORKSHOP • Temari Making Workshop: 2-5pm CL 1009 • Title: Observing Math in Temari; Making Temari to Make Visual Math • Abstract: In the course of this workshop, participants will begin to make their own temari ball.

  • Maths SC Booklet
    The Super Curriculum Mathema'cs The Super Curriculum Super curricular activities are those that take your regular curriculum further. They take the subjects you study in the classroom beyond that which your teacher has taught you or what you’ve done for home learning. For example, you may go into more depth on something you picked up in the classroom, or learn about a new topic altogether. These activities are normally in the form of extra reading but they can take many other forms, like watching videos online, downloading podcasts, attending lectures, visiting museums or entering academic competitions. Engaging in super curricular activities will help you develop a love for your favourite subject or subjects. In this booklet, there are a range of activities, suggested by your teachers. They are by no means exhaustive lists but should get you started. I would encourage you to share ideas and opportunities you come across with your teachers so that, over time, the recommended activities in this booklet can grow. In the future, employers or universities will be interested to hear about what super curricular activities you have engaged in; they will be interested in what you have learnt and impressed by your efforts. I wish you well in your pursuit of super curricular activities!
