This Book Is Meant To Be More Than Just A Text In Discrete Mathematics. It Is A Forerunner Of Another Book Applied Discrete Structures By The Same Author. The Ultimate Goal Of The Two Books Are To Make A Strong Case For The Inclusion Of Discrete Mathematics In The Undergraduate Curricula Of Mathematics By Creating A Sequence Of Courses In Discrete Mathematics Parallel To The Traditional Sequence Of Calculus-Based Courses.The Present Book Covers The Foundations Of Discrete Mathematics In Seven Chapters. It Lays A Heavy Emphasis On Motivation And Attempts Clarity Without Sacrificing Rigour. A List Of Typical Problems Is Given In The First Chapter. These Problems Are Used Throughout The Book To Motivate Various Concepts. A Review Of Logic Is Included To Gear The Reader Into A Proper Frame Of Mind. The Basic Counting Techniques Are Covered In Chapters 2 And 7. Those In Chapter 2 Are Elementary. But They Are Intentionally Covered In A Formal Manner So As To Acquaint The Reader With The Traditional Definition-Theorem-Proof Pattern Of Mathematics. Chapters 3 Introduces Abstraction And Shows How The Focal Point Of Todays Mathematics Is Not Numbers But Sets Carrying Suitable Structures. Chapter 4 Deals With Boolean Algebras And Their Applications. Chapters 5 And 6 Deal With More Traditional Topics In Algebra, Viz., Groups, Rings, Fields, Vector Spaces And Matrices.The Presentation Is Elementary And Presupposes No Mathematical Maturity On The Part Of The Reader. Instead, Comments Are Inserted Liberally To Increase His Maturity. Each Chapter Has Four Sections. Each Section Is Followed By Exercises (Of Various Degrees Of Difficulty) And By Notes And Guide To Literature. Answers To The Exercises Are Provided At The End Of The Book.

Focusing on the "why's" of mathematics rather than the "how's," the unique approach of this text will appeal to a wide range of readers, from those taking a first course in calculus to those seeking deeper insights or needing a transition from calculus to analysis. The author takes care to supply strong motivations for abstract concepts, thereby helping beginners overcome the intimidation often felt when first confronting abstraction. While emphasizing the "why's," the book does not entirely neglect the "how's" and provides sufficient exposure to the techniques through numerous exercises, with answers supplied in the back of the book.

This book addresses the point of intersection between cognition, metacognition, and culture in learning and teaching Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). We explore theoretical background and cutting-edge research about how various forms of cognitive and metacognitive instruction may enhance learning and thinking in STEM classrooms from K-12 to university and in different cultures and countries. Over the past several years, STEM education research has witnessed rapid growth, attracting considerable interest among scholars and educators. The book provides an updated collection of studies about cognition, metacognition and culture in the four STEM domains. The field of research, cognition and metacognition in STEM education still suffers from ambiguity in meanings of key concepts that various researchers use. This book is organized according to a unique manner: Each chapter features one of the four STEM domains and one of the three themes—cognition, metacognition, and culture—and defines key concepts. This matrix-type organization opens a new path to knowledge in STEM education and facilitates its understanding. The discussion at the end of the book integrates these definitions for analyzing and mapping the STEM education research.

The Classic Texts Series is the only of its kind selection of classic pieces of work that started off as bestseller and continues to be the bestseller even today. These classic texts have been designed so as to work as elementary textbooks which play a crucial role in building the concepts from scratch as in-depth knowledge of concepts is necessary for students preparing for various entrance exams.The present book on Higher Algebrapresents all the elements of Higher Algebra in a single book meant to work as textbook for the students beginning their preparation of the varied aspects covered under Higher Algebra. The present book has been divided into 35 chapters namely Ratio, Proportion, Variation, Arithmetical Progression, Geometrical Progression, Harmonical Progression Theorems Connected with The Progression, Scales of Notation, Surds & Imaginary Quantities, The Theory of Quadratic Equations, Miscellaneous Equations, Permutations & Combinations, Mathematical Induction, Binomial Theorem Positive Integral Index, Binomial Theorem, Any Index, Multinational Theorem, Logarithms, Exponential & Logarithmic Series, Interest & Annuities, Inequalities, Limiting Values & Vanishing Fractions, Convergency&Divergency of Series, Undetermined Coefficients, Partial Fractions, Recurring Series, Continued Fractions, Recurring Series, Continued Fractions, Indeterminate Equations of the First Degree, Recurring Continued Fractions, Indeterminate Equations of the Second Degree, Summation of Series, Theory of Numbers, The General Theory of Continued Fractions, Probability, Determinants, Miscellaneous Theorems & Examples and Theory of Equations, each subdivided into number of topics. The first few chapters in the book have been devoted to a fuller discussion of Ratio, Proportions, Variation and the Progressions.
