Online education has become a major component of higher education worldwide. In mathematics and statistics courses, there exists a number of challenges that are unique to the teaching and learning of mathematics and statistics in an online environment. These challenges are deeply connected to already existing difficulties related to math anxiety, conceptual understanding of mathematical ideas, communicating mathematically, and the appropriate use of technology. Teaching and Learning Mathematics Online bridges these issues by presenting meaningful and practical solutions for teaching mathematics and statistics online. It focuses on the problems observed by mathematics instructors currently working in the field who strive to hone their craft and share best practices with our professional community. The book provides a set of standard practices, improving the quality of online teaching and the learning of mathematics. Instructors will benefit from learning new techniques and approaches to delivering content. Features Based on the experiences of working educators in the field Assimilates the latest technology developments for interactive distance education Focuses on mathematical education for developing early mathematics courses

A hilarious reeducation in mathematics-full of joy, jokes, and stick figures-that sheds light on the countless practical and wonderful ways that math structures and shapes our world. In Math With Bad Drawings, Ben Orlin reveals to us what math actually is; its myriad uses, its strange symbols, and the wild leaps of logic and faith that define the usually impenetrable work of the mathematician. Truth and knowledge come in multiple forms: colorful drawings, encouraging jokes, and the stories and insights of an empathetic teacher who believes that math should belong to everyone. Orlin shows us how to think like a mathematician by teaching us a brand-new game of tic-tac-toe, how to understand an economic crises by rolling a pair of dice, and the mathematical headache that ensues when attempting to build a spherical Death Star. Every discussion in the book is illustrated with Orlin's trademark "bad drawings," which convey his message and insights with perfect pitch and clarity. With 24 chapters covering topics from the electoral college to human genetics to the reasons not to trust statistics, Math with Bad Drawings is a life-changing book for the math-estranged and math-enamored alike.

Here in one volume are two classics of the foundations of modern finance from America's first celebrated economist, Irving Fisher, for whom the Fisher equation, the Fisher hypothesis, and the Fisher separation theorem are named. In 1892's Mathematical Investigations in the Theory of Value and Prices and 1896's Appreciation and Interest, Fisher explores: . how the numbers of consumers and the numbers of available commodities are more mysterious than they seem at first glance . what happens when production and consumption are examined jointly . how commodities influence one another . the relationship between appreciation and debt . formulas for varying rates of interest and appreciation . the impacts of zero and negative interest . and much more. American economist IRVING FISHER (1867-1947) was professor of political economy at Yale University. Among his many books are The Rate of Interest (1907), Why Is the Dollar Shrinking? A Study in the High Cost of Living (1914), Booms and Depressions (1932), and The Purchasing Power of Money (1912).

Calculator Mathematics for the Real Estate Professional has two objectives: 1) to show you how to correctly answer the mathematics questions on a real estate licensing examination for salespersons or brokers; 2) to be a time-saving reference for real estate professionals, investors, tenants, accountants, lenders, and attorneys. Even those who are capable of performing complex mathematical computations will welcome the practicality of having the formulas and methods contained in one easy-to-use reference and will benefit from the short-cut, time-saving techniques described, including—how to determine in seconds (without handbooks or tables) the monthly payment on a mortgage loan, the outstanding loan balance at any particular point in time, or the interest portion of mortgage payments for a given year. The first ten chapters explain the various computations one will encounter in licensing examinations and everyday practice. The last three chapters describe how to use a pocket calculator to quickly solve these computations, and provide the method of solving more complex and advanced problems such as: computation of the area of unusually shaped land areas and the various calculations related to ‘balloon" mortgages. Examples are given for an algebraic language calculator and a reverse Polish calculator as well as for a basic four function model. Real estate practitioners who master the time-saving skills explained will increase their productivity, listings, commissions, and professionalism.
