  • And Type the TITLE of YOUR WORK in All Caps
    THE MATH WARS: COMMUNITIES OF MEANING WITHIN THE CRITICS OF SCHOOL MATHEMATICS REFORMS by PATRICIA ANNE WAGNER (Under the Direction of Jeremy Kilpatrick and AnnaMarie Conner) ABSTRACT Over the course of United States history, there have been numerous attempts to reform school mathematics in order to increase student achievement. Although the methods of reform have varied, a common theme has emerged: The reform encounters a political backlash that forces a retreat into traditional instructional materials and methods. This research study examined the beliefs and motivations of those on one side of the “math wars,” a struggle over the goals and methods for school mathematics that originated in the 1990s. In her policy work, Yannow (2000) described individuals reacting to policies as inhabiting communities of meaning: groups in which “cognitive, linguistic, and cultural practices reinforce each other, to the point at which shared sense is more common than not, and policy-relevant groups become ‘interpretive communities’ sharing thought, speech, practice, and their meanings” (p. 10). I drew upon this interpretation to describe the communities of meaning of those who took a reactive position in the math wars; that is, critics of school mathematics reforms. Using this framework in conjunction with Green’s (1971) and Rokeach’s (1968) interpretations of belief systems, I identified three communities of meaning and described their primary lenses for viewing school mathematics and reforms. These descriptions enabled me to infer each group’s motivation for political activism against the reforms. The findings from this study have implications for the political advocates of reforms, educational researchers, and those charged with implementing school mathematics reforms.

  • Count Down: Six Kids Vie for Glory at the World's Toughest Math
    Count Down Six Kids Vie for Glory | at the World's TOUGHEST MATH COMPETITION STEVE OLSON author of MAPPING HUMAN HISTORY, National Book Award finalist $Z4- 00 ACH SUMMER SIX MATH WHIZZES selected from nearly a half million EAmerican teens compete against the world's best problem solvers at the Interna• tional Mathematical Olympiad. Steve Olson, whose Mapping Human History was a Na• tional Book Award finalist, follows the members of a U.S. team from their intense tryouts to the Olympiad's nail-biting final rounds to discover not only what drives these extraordinary kids but what makes them both unique and typical. In the process he provides fascinating insights into the creative process, human intelligence and learning, and the nature of genius. Brilliant, but defying all the math-nerd stereotypes, these athletes of the mind want to excel at whatever piques their cu• riosity, and they are curious about almost everything — music, games, politics, sports, literature. One team member is ardent about water polo and creative writing. An• other plays four musical instruments. For fun and entertainment during breaks, the Olympians invent games of mind-boggling difficulty. Though driven by the glory of winning this ultimate math contest, in many ways these kids are not so different from other teenagers, finding pure joy in indulging their personal passions. Beyond the Olympiad, Steve Olson sheds light on such questions as why Americans feel so queasy about math, why so few girls compete in the subject, and whether or not talent is innate. Inside the cavernous gym where the competition takes place, Count Down reveals a fascinating subculture and its engaging, driven inhabitants.

  • Missy Elliott Supa Dupa Fly Torrent Download Supa Dupa Fly
    missy elliott supa dupa fly torrent download Supa Dupa Fly. Arguably the most influential album ever released by a female hip-hop artist, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott's debut album, Supa Dupa Fly, is a boundary-shattering postmodern masterpiece. It had a tremendous impact on hip-hop, and an even bigger one on R&B, as its futuristic, nearly experimental style became the de facto sound of urban radio at the close of the millennium. A substantial share of the credit has to go to producer Timbaland, whose lean, digital grooves are packed with unpredictable arrangements and stuttering rhythms that often resemble slowed-down drum'n'bass breakbeats. The results are not only unique, they're nothing short of revolutionary, making Timbaland a hip name to drop in electronica circles as well. For her part, Elliott impresses with her versatility -- she's a singer, a rapper, and an equal songwriting partner, and it's clear from the album's accompanying videos that the space-age aesthetic of the music doesn't just belong to her producer. She's no technical master on the mic; her raps are fairly simple, delivered in the slow purr of a heavy-lidded stoner. Yet they're also full of hilariously surreal free associations that fit the off-kilter sensibility of the music to a tee. Actually, Elliott sings more on Supa Dupa Fly than she does on her subsequent albums, making it her most R&B-oriented effort; she's more unique as a rapper than she is as a singer, but she has a smooth voice and harmonizes well.

  • Mathematics Anxiety in Children with Developmental Dyscalculia Behavioral and Brain Functions 2010, 6:46
    Rubinsten and Tannock Behavioral and Brain Functions 2010, 6:46 http://www.behavioralandbrainfunctions.com/content/6/1/46 RESEARCH Open Access MathematicsResearch anxiety in children with developmental dyscalculia Orly Rubinsten*1 and Rosemary Tannock2,3 Abstract Background: Math anxiety, defined as a negative affective response to mathematics, is known to have deleterious effects on math performance in the general population. However, the assumption that math anxiety is directly related to math performance, has not yet been validated. Thus, our primary objective was to investigate the effects of math anxiety on numerical processing in children with specific deficits in the acquisition of math skills (Developmental Dyscalculia; DD) by using a novel affective priming task as an indirect measure. Methods: Participants (12 children with DD and 11 typically-developing peers) completed a novel priming task in which an arithmetic equation was preceded by one of four types of priming words (positive, neutral, negative or related to mathematics). Children were required to indicate whether the equation (simple math facts based on addition, subtraction, multiplication or division) was true or false. Typically, people respond to target stimuli more quickly after presentation of an affectively-related prime than after one that is unrelated affectively. Result: Participants with DD responded faster to targets that were preceded by both negative primes and math- related primes. A reversed pattern was present in the control group. Conclusion: These results reveal a direct link between emotions, arithmetic and low achievement in math. It is also suggested that arithmetic-affective priming might be used as an indirect measure of math anxiety.

In the past, major technological change and major shifts in the way copyrightable works were used have rightly led to major changes in the law. The invention of the printing press prompted the first codification of copyright. The popularity of the player piano contributed to a reevaluation of how musical works should be protected.2 The dawn of the computer age led to an explicit expansion of copyrightable subject matter to include computer programs.3 These are but a few examples of past inflection points; the current one demands a similar level of change.

  • 1875–2012 Dr. Jan E. Wynn
    HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY 1875–2012 DR. LYNN E. GARNER DR. GURCHARAN S. GILL DR. JAN E. WYNN Copyright © 2013, Department of Mathematics, Brigham Young University All rights reserved 2 Foreword In August 2012, the leadership of the Department of Mathematics of Brigham Young University requested the authors to compose a history of the department. The history that we had all heard was that the department had come into being in 1954, formed from the Physics Department, and with a physicist as the first chairman. This turned out to be partially true, in that the Department of Mathematics had been chaired by physicists until 1958, but it was referred to in the University Catalog as a department as early as 1904 and the first chairman was appointed in 1906. The authors were also part of the history of the department as professors of mathematics: Gurcharan S. Gill 1960–1999 Lynn E. Garner 1963–2007 Jan E. Wynn 1966–2000 Dr. Gill (1956–1958) and Dr. Garner (1960–1962) were also students in the department and hold B. S. degrees in Mathematics from BYU. We decided to address the history of the department by dividing it into three eras of quite different characteristics. The first era (1875–1978): Early development of the department as an entity, focusing on rapid growth during the administration of Kenneth L. Hillam as chairman. The second era (1978–1990): Efforts to bring the department in line with national standards in the mathematics community and to establish research capabilities, during the administration of Peter L.
