Category : Science

Pages : 854
Book Description
Described even today as "unsurpassed," this history of mathematical notation stretching back to the Babylonians and Egyptians is one of the most comprehensive written. In two impressive volumes, first published in 1928-9 and reproduced here under one cover, distinguished mathematician Florian Cajori shows the origin, evolution, and dissemination of each symbol and the competition it faced in its rise to popularity or fall into obscurity. Illustrated with more than a hundred diagrams and figures, this "mirror of past and present conditions in mathematics" will give students and historians a whole new appreciation for "1 + 1 = 2." Swiss-American author, educator, and mathematician FLORIAN CAJORI (1859-1930) was one of the world's most distinguished mathematical historians. Appointed to a specially created chair in the history of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, he also wrote An Introduction to the Theory of Equations, A History of Mathematical Notations, and The Chequered Career of Ferdinand Rudolph Hassler.

The Mathematics Teacher
Author: The Role of the History of Mathematics in the Teaching/Learning Process
Author: Sixto Romero SanchezPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031299000
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
This volume presents multiple perspectives on the uses of the history of mathematics for teaching and learning, including the value of historical topics in challenging mathematics tasks, for provoking teachers’ reflection on the nature of mathematics, curriculum development questions that mirror earlier pedagogical choices in the history of mathematics education, and the history of technological innovations in the teaching and learning of mathematics. An ethnomathematical perspective on the history of mathematics challenges readers to appreciate the role of mathematics in perpetuating consequences of colonialism. Histories of the textbook and its uses offer interesting insights into how technology has changed the fundamental role of curriculum materials and classroom pedagogies. History is explored as a source for the training of teachers, for good puzzles and problems, and for a broad understanding of mathematics education policy. Third in a series of sourcebooks from the International Commission for the Study and Improvement of Mathematics Teaching, this collection of cutting-edge research, stories from the field, and policy implications is a contemporary and global perspective on current possibilities for the history of mathematics for mathematics education. This latest volume integrates discussions regarding history of mathematics, history of mathematics education and history of technology for education that have taken place at the Commission's recent annual conferences.

Book Description
Instrumentos Matemáticos complexos permitiram realizar com sucesso tarefas tão distintas como a programação de um voo a Marte, a previsão de resultados eleitorais, a explicação do funcionamento de alguns mecanismos do sistema nervoso, ou a abordagem crítica de obras de arte e de textos literários. Da Ciência à Sociedade, dos grandes avanços técnicos à solidez de uma argumentação lógica, a Matemática constrói Teias de uma imensa flexibilidade resultante do carácter universal da sua linguagem. Neste livro personalidades de diferentes universos dão o seu testemunho sobre a forma como usam as Teias Matemáticas para tecer a sua própria visão do mundo.
