Mathematics Inside the Black Box is an easy-to-read booklet offering great advice & guidance on how to develop formative assessment in Mathematics The booklet suggests methods for teachers to interact more effectively with pupils on a day-to-day basis to promote their learning for instance by using focused questioning techniques & careful analysis of pupils' responses A final section pulls together key issues in implementing the strategies in a whole-school context ...

This textbook provides an exciting new addition to the area of network science featuring a stronger & more methodical link of models to their mathematical origin & explains how these relate to each other with special focus on epidemic spread on networks The content of the book is at the interface of graph theory stochastic processes & dynamical systems The authors set out to make a significant contribution to closing the gap between model development & the supporting mathematics This is done by Summarising & presenting the state-of-the-art in modeling epidemics on networks with results & readily usable models signposted throughout the book; Presenting different mathematical approaches to formulate exact & solvable models; Identifying the concrete links between approximate models & their rigorous mathematical representation; Presenting a model hierarchy & clearly highlighting the links between model assumptions & model complexity; Providing a reference source for advanced undergraduate students as well as doctoral students postdoctoral researchers & academic experts who are engaged in modeling stochastic processes on networks; Providing software that can solve differential equation models or directly simulate epidemics on networks Replete with numerous diagrams examples instructive exercises & online access to simulation algorithms & readily usable code this book will appeal to a wide spectrum of readers from different backgrounds & academic levels Appropriate for students with or without a strong background in mathematics this textbook can form the basis of an advanced undergraduate or graduate course in both mathematics & other departments alike ...

Would you like to understand more mathematics? Many people would Perhaps at school you liked mathematics for a while but were then put off because you missed a key idea & kept getting stuck Perhaps you always liked mathematics but gave it up because your main interest was music or languages or science or philosophy Or perhaps you studied mathematics to advanced levels but have now forgotten most of what you once knew Whichever is the case this book is for you It aims to build on what you know revisiting basic ideas with a focus on meaning Each chapter starts with an idea from school mathematics
- often primary school mathematics
- & gradually builds up a network of links to more advanced material It explores fundamental ideas in depth using insights from research in mathematics education & psychology to explain why people often get confused & how to overcome that confusion For nervous readers it will build confidence by clarifying basic ideas For more experienced readers it will highlight new connections to more advanced material Throughout the book explains how mathematicians think & how ordinary people can understand & enjoy mathematical ideas & arguments If you would like to be better informed about the intrinsic elegance of mathematics this engaging guide is the place to start

The aim of this book is to explain carefully but not technically the differences between advanced research-level mathematics & the sort of mathematics we learn at school The most fundamental differences are philosophical & readers of this book will emerge with a clearer understanding of paradoxical-sounding concepts such as infinity curved space & imaginary numbers The first few chapters are about general aspects of mathematical thought These are followed by discussions of more specific topics & the book closes with a chapter answering common sociological questions about the mathematical community (such as Is it true that mathematicians burn out at the age of 25?) ABOUT THE SERIES The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly Our expert authors combine facts analysis perspective new ideas & enthusiasm to make interesting & challenging topics highly readable ...
