According to the great mathematician Paul Erdös, God maintains perfect mathematical proofs in The Book. This book presents the authors candidates for such "perfect proofs," those which contain brilliant ideas, clever connections, and wonderful observations, bringing new insight and surprising perspectives to problems from number theory, geometry, analysis, combinatorics, and graph theory. As a result, this book will be fun reading for anyone with an interest in mathematics.

Precalculus is adaptable and designed to fit the needs of a variety of precalculus courses. It is a comprehensive text that covers more ground than a typical one- or two-semester college-level precalculus course. The content is organized by clearly-defined learning objectives, and includes worked examples that demonstrate problem-solving approaches in an accessible way. Coverage and Scope Precalculus contains twelve chapters, roughly divided into three groups. Chapters 1-4 discuss various types of functions, providing a foundation for the remainder of the course. Chapter 1: Functions Chapter 2: Linear Functions Chapter 3: Polynomial and Rational Functions Chapter 4: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions Chapters 5-8 focus on Trigonometry. In Precalculus, we approach trigonometry by first introducing angles and the unit circle, as opposed to the right triangle approach more commonly used in College Algebra and Trigonometry courses. Chapter 5: Trigonometric Functions Chapter 6: Periodic Functions Chapter 7: Trigonometric Identities and Equations Chapter 8: Further Applications of Trigonometry Chapters 9-12 present some advanced Precalculus topics that build on topics introduced in chapters 1-8. Most Precalculus syllabi include some of the topics in these chapters, but few include all. Instructors can select material as needed from this group of chapters, since they are not cumulative. Chapter 9: Systems of Equations and Inequalities Chapter 10: Analytic Geometry Chapter 11: Sequences, Probability and Counting Theory Chapter 12: Introduction to Calculus
Half and half paper (dual designs) / Half Wide Ruled-Half Graph 5x5 Notebook: 8 x 10 inch (20.32 x 25.4 cm.) Half and half paper (dual designs) allow you to get creative. * There are lots of reasons someone may want mixed paper styles on one sheet. * Adults may like to plot designs, craft projects or solve engineering problems and write accompanying notes or draw sketches. * Kids may like to solve a math problem and describe how they solved it (or even write a story about the problem!) * The blank and lined papers can also be used as a story paper for writing practice. * Use your imagination to find functions for this paper in different niches. * This is the standard for composition or writing books for elementary school kids. * It can also be a good choice for the elderly, for people who have large handwriting and people with visual impairment. * It is also a good choice for 'casual' writing notebooks for teens. * 120 pages - 60 sheets Wide Rule: The horizontal spacing is 9/32" or 7.1 mm. Trim sizes with a width over 6"" include a margin ruled 1 1⁄4 inches (32 mm) from the left hand of the page. Smaller trim sizes do not include a margin. Quad Rule graph paper: also known as 'engineering' paper has five squares per inch, so each square measures .20" x .20" Have fun & enjoy this Notebook.
Computer Vision Metrics provides an extensive survey and analysis of over 100 current and historical feature description and machine vision methods, with a detailed taxonomy for local, regional and global features. This book provides necessary background to develop intuition about why interest point detectors and feature descriptors actually work, how they are designed, with observations about tuning the methods for achieving robustness and invariance targets for specific applications. The survey is broader than it is deep, with over 540 references provided to dig deeper. The taxonomy includes search methods, spectra components, descriptor representation, shape, distance functions, accuracy, efficiency, robustness and invariance attributes, and more. Rather than providing ‘how-to’ source code examples and shortcuts, this book provides a counterpoint discussion to the many fine opencv community source code resources available for hands-on practitioners.
Composition Notebook Half Graph 4x4 / Half Blank Notebook: 7.44 x 9.69 inch (18.9 x 24.61 cm.) Half and half paper (dual designs) allow you to get creative. There are lots of reasons someone may want mixed paper styles on one sheet. Adults may like to plot designs, craft projects or solve engineering problems and write accompanying notes or draw sketches. Kids may like to solve a math problem and describe how they solved it (or even write a story about the problem!) The blank and lined papers can also be used as a story paper for writing practice. Use your imagination to find functions for this paper in different niches. 100 pages - 50 sheets Quad Rule graph paper, also known as 4x4 graph paper has four squares per inch, so each square measures 0.25" x 0.25" It is frequently used for math or science for younger children (teens and college age may use 5x5). Graph paper has many uses. Here are some possible ones: Design projects, mapping for board/video/roleplay games, designing floorplans, tiling or yard landscaping, playing pen and pencil games, planning embroidery, cross stitch or knitting. Some occupational therapists use squared paper for writing practice. Artists may use grids to copy pictures. Programmers, engineers, and scientists may prefer graph paper for notes that involve formulas. Have fun & enjoy this Notebook.

In this one-stop resource for middle and high school teachers, Kristina J. Doubet and Jessica A. Hockett explore how to use differentiated instruction to help students be more successful learners--regardless of background, native language, learning style, motivation, or school savvy. They explain how to * Create a healthy classroom community in which students' unique qualities and needs are as important as the ones they have in common. * Translate curriculum into manageable and meaningful learning goals that are fit to be differentiated. * Use pre-assessment and formative assessment to uncover students' learning needs and tailor tasks accordingly. * Present students with avenues to take in, process, and produce knowledge that appeal to their varied interests and learning profiles. * Navigate roadblocks to implementing differentiation. Each chapter provides a plethora of practical tools, templates, and strategies for a variety of subject areas developed by and for real teachers. Whether you’re new to differentiated instruction or looking to expand your repertoire of DI strategies, Differentiation in Middle and High School will show you classroom-tested ways to better engage students and help them succeed every day.
Although much has changed in schools in recent years, the power of differentiated instruction remains the same—and the need for it has only increased. Today's classroom is more diverse, more inclusive, and more plugged into technology than ever before. And it's led by teachers under enormous pressure to help decidedly unstandardized students meet an expanding set of rigorous, standardized learning targets. In this updated second edition of her best-selling classic work, Carol Ann Tomlinson offers these teachers a powerful and practical way to meet a challenge that is both very modern and completely timeless: how to divide their time, resources, and efforts to effectively instruct so many students of various backgrounds, readiness and skill levels, and interests. With a perspective informed by advances in research and deepened by more than 15 years of implementation feedback in all types of schools, Tomlinson explains the theoretical basis of differentiated instruction, explores the variables of curriculum and learning environment, shares dozens of instructional strategies, and then goes inside elementary and secondary classrooms in nearly all subject areas to illustrate how real teachers are applying differentiation principles and strategies to respond to the needs of all learners. This book's insightful guidance on what to differentiate, how to differentiate, and why lays the groundwork for bringing differentiated instruction into your own classroom or refining the work you already do to help each of your wonderfully unique learners move toward greater knowledge, more advanced skills, and expanded understanding. Today more than ever, The Differentiated Classroom is a must-have staple for every teacher's shelf and every school's professional development collection.
