Pages : 1378
Book Description
Contains 11 modules consist of a number of activities designed to demonstrate the use of the history of mathematics in the teaching of mathematics. Objectives of the Modules: To enable students to develop a much richer understanding of mathematics and its applications by viewing the same phenomena from multiple mathematical perspectives; To enable students to understand the historical background and connections among historical ideas leading to the development of mathematics; To enable students to see how mathematical concepts evolved over periods of time; To provide students with opportunities to apply their knowledge of mathematics to various concrete situations and problems in a historical context; To develop in students an appreciation of the history connected with the development of different mathematical concepts; To enable students to recognize and use connections among mathematical ideas; To enable students to understand how mathematical ideas interconnect and build on one another to produce a coherent whole; To lead students to recognize and apply mathematics in contexts outside of mathematics.--Publisher.

Book Description
Biological sciences have been revolutionized, not only in the way research is conductedâ€"with the introduction of techniques such as recombinant DNA and digital technologyâ€"but also in how research findings are communicated among professionals and to the public. Yet, the undergraduate programs that train biology researchers remain much the same as they were before these fundamental changes came on the scene. This new volume provides a blueprint for bringing undergraduate biology education up to the speed of today's research fast track. It includes recommendations for teaching the next generation of life science investigators, through: Building a strong interdisciplinary curriculum that includes physical science, information technology, and mathematics. Eliminating the administrative and financial barriers to cross-departmental collaboration. Evaluating the impact of medical college admissions testing on undergraduate biology education. Creating early opportunities for independent research. Designing meaningful laboratory experiences into the curriculum. The committee presents a dozen brief case studies of exemplary programs at leading institutions and lists many resources for biology educators. This volume will be important to biology faculty, administrators, practitioners, professional societies, research and education funders, and the biotechnology industry.
