Teaching and Learning of Calculus

Teaching and Learning of Calculus PDF Author: David Bressoud
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319329758
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 44

Book Description
This survey focuses on the main trends in the field of calculus education. Despite their variety, the findings reveal a cornerstone issue that is strongly linked to the formalism of calculus concepts and to the difficulties it generates in the learning and teaching process. As a complement to the main text, an extended bibliography with some of the most important references on this topic is included. Since the diversity of the research in the field makes it difficult to produce an exhaustive state-of-the-art summary, the authors discuss recent developments that go beyond this survey and put forward new research questions.

Making the Connection

Making the Connection PDF Author: Marilyn Paula Carlson
Publisher: MAA
ISBN: 9780883851838
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 340

Book Description
The chapters in this volume convey insights from mathematics education research that have direct implications for anyone interested in improving teaching and learning in undergraduate mathematics. This synthesis of research on learning and teaching mathematics provides relevant information for any math department or individual faculty member who is working to improve introductory proof courses, the longitudinal coherence of precalculus through differential equations, students' mathematical thinking and problem-solving abilities, and students' understanding of fundamental ideas such as variable and rate of change. Other chapters include information about programs that have been successful in supporting students' continued study of mathematics. The authors provide many examples and ideas to help the reader infuse the knowledge from mathematics education research into mathematics teaching practice. University mathematicians and community college faculty spend much of their time engaged in work to improve their teaching. Frequently, they are left to their own experiences and informal conversations with colleagues to develop new approaches to support student learning and their continuation in mathematics. Over the past 30 years, research in undergraduate mathematics education has produced knowledge about the development of mathematical understandings and models for supporting students' mathematical learning. Currently, very little of this knowledge is affecting teaching practice. We hope that this volume will open a meaningful dialogue between researchers and practitioners toward the goal of realizing improvements in undergraduate mathematics curriculum and instruction.

Book Description
The 4th Progressive and Fun Education (The 4th Profunedu) International Conference is a forum for researchers and lecturers within the ALPTK Muhammadiyah College to disseminate their best research results. This conference aims to provide a platform for researchers and academics to share their research findings with others and meet lecturers and researchers from other institutions and to strengthen the collaboration and networking amongs the participants. The 4th Profunedu was held on 6-8 August 2019 in Makassar, Indonesia. It is hoped that this proceeding can help improve the quality of education, especially the quality of education in Indonesia.

APOS Theory

APOS Theory PDF Author: Ilana Arnon
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461479665
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 259

Book Description
In spite of the fact that APOS Theory has been used extensively in numerous scholarly publications, in the design of textbooks, and in teaching practice, there is no single references that contains all the relevant information about its components, and provides guidance about its application. The goal of this book is to present the main elements of APOS theory. It should be useful for researchers who work with, or would like to learn more about, this theoretical approach, people who are interested in the way which mathematical conceptions are constructed according to this theory, Mathematics Education researchers, graduate students in Mathematics Education, and Mathematics instructors.

APEX Calculus

APEX Calculus PDF Author: Gregory Hartman
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781514225158
Category : Calculus
Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
APEX Calculus is a calculus textbook written for traditional college/university calculus courses. It has the look and feel of the calculus book you likely use right now (Stewart, Thomas & Finney, etc.). The explanations of new concepts is clear, written for someone who does not yet know calculus. Each section ends with an exercise set with ample problems to practice & test skills (odd answers are in the back).

The Didactics of Mathematics: Approaches and Issues

The Didactics of Mathematics: Approaches and Issues PDF Author: Bernard R Hodgson
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319260472
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 271

Book Description
This book, the outcome of a conference organised in 2012 in Paris as a homage to Michèle Artigue, is based on the main component of this event. However, it offers more than a mere reflection of the conference in itself, as various well-known researchers from the field have been invited to summarize the main topics where the importance of Artigue’s contribution is unquestionable. Her multiple interest areas, as a researcher involved in a wider community, give to this volume its unique flavour of diversity. Michèle Artigue (ICMI 2013 Felix Klein Award, CIAEM 2015 Luis Santaló Award) is without doubt one of the most influential researchers nowadays in the field of didactics of mathematics. This influence rests both on the quality of her research and on her constant contribution, since the early 1970s, to the development of the teaching and learning of mathematics. Observing her exemplary professional history, one can witness the emergence, the development, and the main issues of didactics of mathematics as a specific research field.
