Students And Their Learning From Reading, Chris Fenwick May 2001

Students And Their Learning From Reading, Chris Fenwick

Humanistic Mathematics Network Journal

My aim in this article is to summarize work I have done over the last three years, focusing on the issue of helping students learn from whatever mathematics text they read. Although these types of texts generally contain 3 modes of communication, namely technical English, the language of mathematics itself and diagrams, I will focus this article only on the technical English of such texts. The idea, then, that students can develop techniques and strategies for learning from what they read is generally known as “reading to learn.”

Ode To The Square Root: A Historical Journey, Dorothy W. Goldberg Sep 2000

Ode To The Square Root: A Historical Journey, Dorothy W. Goldberg

Humanistic Mathematics Network Journal

The author gives a personal history of experiences in finding the square root of a number by the “do it thus” method—from algorithm to table to calculator. Why each procedure works is elucidated, making liberal use of the history of mathematics.

Senior Seminar: A Capstone Course In The Computer And Mathematical Sciences, Ken Oberhoff, Ron Barnes Sep 2000

Senior Seminar: A Capstone Course In The Computer And Mathematical Sciences, Ken Oberhoff, Ron Barnes

Humanistic Mathematics Network Journal

This paper describes the evolution of a course developed to tie together many strands of activity encountered by students in the computer and mathematical sciences (CMS). The senior level course is required of all majors in our computer science, applied mathematics and statistics undergraduate degree programs. One of the primary purposes of the course is to refine writing and presentation skills needed for those who will later pursue individual research projects. Writing projects are organized around the theme of “Ethical Decision Making in the Computer and Mathematical Sciences”. Numerous case studies are investigated. Additional topics in the course include designing …
