How mathematics affects our daily lives in sociological, economic, and historical perspectives. Three volume set, 490 articles, published in October 2011
"Several of our classes involve students using mathematical expressions, but there was no way for us to automatically check this work. The stated solution to a problem may be x+y, but if a student answers y+x, our system needs to understand that this is also correct." "sympy, an open source Python library for symbolic mathematics," is proposed as a solution.
Following this link can provide your students with a great out of class review of topics that they missed or on topics they could just use a little more review.
Abstract: "We encounter mathematical problems in various forms in our lives, thus making mathematical thinking an important human ability [6]. Of these problems, optimization problems are an important subset: Wall Street traders often have to take instantaneous, strategic decisions to buy and sell shares, with the goal of maximizing their profits at the end of a day's trade. Continuous research on game-based learning and its value [2] [3] led us to ask: can we develop and improve the ability of mathematical thinking in children by guising an optimization problem as a game? In this paper, we present Bublz!, a simple, click-driven game we developed as a first step towards answering our question."
"An assistant professor at the University of California, Riverside Graduate School of Education has shown that a reading comprehension technique helps non-native English speakers in elementary school learn math."
"It is the age-old question every student asks: "When will I ever use this math in real life?" While it may seem that long division and pi are not applicable to life outside of the classroom, visitors to "MathAlive!" will learn exactly the opposite-math is actually a big part of all the things they love" Includes a description of exhibits for the Smithsonian event beginning March 10
