Extractions: Animated GIF by Chris Quarnstrom After talking to a lot of bright-but-frustrated students, I've come to the conclusion that the "hard part" of Physics is not the Physics per se So, the following experiment. I'm going to do an entire Physics lecture about math, but using no math at all. This may sound odd, or even useless, but I will make a very strong claim: the concepts in this small paper are exactly This paper is based on the following scenario: you throw a rock. It goes straight up into the air, and then comes down. That's all. Now, let's put some numbers to it. First, let's assume that the rock starts at the ground (even though it would be difficult to throw a rock that way in real life). You throw the rock with an initial speed of 32 feet per second. It goes up for exactly one second, reaches a height of 16 feet, and then takes exactly one second to fall back down. Finally, let's coin some letters. We will call the time

Extractions: Overcome math anxiety and find out how you can be the star student in your class with these handy guides. These books tackle the most common stumbling blocks students face when trying to master mathematical concepts. Each book is written in a clear style with loads of examples and sample problems to help the guide the way. Today Stephens holds a doctorate in statistics, but in high school he was a math phobic and utterly average in his grades. So, he understands the confusion associated with the fundamentals of his life's work, he says. With that approach, the author offers this straightforward introduction to the topic that serves as the foundation for so many other mathematical pursuits. Using practical examples and lacing the text with "quick tips," points to memorize, and trouble spots that frustrated him and others learning algebra, Stephens explains functions, linear equations, polynomials, quadratic functions, and exponential and logarithmic functions.

http://mthwww.uwc.edu/wwwmahes/courses/math/mm110nts.htm

Extractions: These are Notes for College Algebra and Geometry prepared by M. Maheswaran, Department of Mathematics, University of Wisconsin - Marathon County. When you have to solve applied problems or " word problems " the following stepwise procedure will be very helpful: Read the problem carefully - as many times as you need to understand the information and the question. Introduce a letter to denote an unknown quantity. Usually, this quantity is what you have to evaluate. Write a formula or equation that connects the quantities appearing in the given information. Draw a figure if possible. Set up a table or a list of values of the quantities given in the problem. Set up an equation, using the table or list of values. Solve the equation. Check that your solution is consistent with the given information. CLICK HERE for an example of solution of an applied problem using this procedure.

Usually we use letters such as n t , or x for variables. For example, we might say that s stands for the side-length of a square. We now treat s s . The area of the square is given by s s . When working with variables, it can be helpful to use a letter that will remind you of what the variable stands for: let n be the n umber of people in a movie theater; let t be the t ime it takes to travel somewhere; let d be the d istance from my house to the park. An expression is a mathematical statement that may use numbers, variables, or both. Example: The following are examples of expressions: x y z z Example: Roland weighs 70 kilograms, and Mark weighs k kilograms. Write an expression for their combined weight. The combined weight in kilograms of these two people is the sum of their weights, which is 70 + k Example: A car travels down the freeway at 55 kilometers per hour. Write an expression for the distance the car will have traveled after

http://www.mathleague.com/contests.htm

Extractions: The Math League has Math Contests for Grades 4 through 8, High School Students, and Algebra 1 students. Over 1 million students from the United States and Canada participate in Math League Contests each year. Every contest has questions from different areas of mathematics. The goal is to encourage student interest and confidence in mathematics through solving worthwhile problems. Many students first develop an interest in mathematics through problem-solving activities such as these contests. Schools compete in statewide or multistate league competitions. Math League's 4th and 5th grade contests can add interest and excitement to any mathematics program. These are some of the first math contests many students will compete inand the most fun with math they've ever had! All of the questions cover basic 4th and 5th grade topics, including: properties of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, time and calendar questions, shapes, perimeter, money, basic ratio and percent, rounding numbers, remainders, integers, and more. These contests challenge students to show their understanding of basic principles through numerical and word problems that encourage an open, flexible approach to problem solving. These contests are provided for intraschool competition, and come with certificates of merit for your school's high scoring students.

Graphing calculators play an important role. However, this text is unlike others because it does not just use calculators to do old-style problems, but actually incorporates calculators as a learning tool and not just a "doing" tool. This text has been used at Montana State University and elsewhere by four dozen different instructors and thousands of students. A great deal of experience has gone into making this text an effective learning tool. "A few months ago, I ordered your Precalculus text, and thank goodness I did. ...."
