Abstract

Kofi Annan, former Secretary General of the United Nations, argued that “We need to create a world that is equitable, that is stable and a world where we bear in mind the needs of others, and not only what we need immediately. We are all in the same boat.” American businessman, John Landgraf stated: “I hope that most of us believe that we actually would all benefit from living in a more equitable society. If that's not happening, we're squandering human potential.” For the world to be fair, one needs to know how to divide. Without the mathematics of division, humankind cannot function… Marie Antoinette, Queen of France (infamously) said “If people have no bread, let them eat cake,” and while Ahmes ― the scribe of the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus ― dealt with loaves of bread, prosperous people in the twentieth century dealt with cake division, although bread is also uniformly available. You’ll be surprised, but there are at least four books and over 200 scientific (not gastronomical!) papers on cake division. Those authors were not overly concerned with obesity, one can guess, but whether distributing loaves, cakes, chores, or dividends, one needs to master division. This book deals with a wide spectrum of division problems, and provides the historical background, giving a sense of how pervasive division is in our lives. In particular, the second part focuses on a problem that remained open until 1985, when Professor Robert John Aumann (Nobel laureate in Economics, 2005) and Professor Michael Maschler solved it using game-theoretic techniques. Simple alternative solutions are given, which are suitable for high schools and other educational institutions.

Abstract

In this book you will discover the mathematical patterns and regularities of various spirals, helixes and spiral-like figures. Their geometric aspects and connections are presented in a visually appealing way and are supplemented as best as possible with analytical aspects and representations. Using examples from technology and nature, you will learn about round, square, golden and spherical spirals and examine their curvature behavior and other exciting properties. The examples are arranged thematically and the book has a modular structure so that the individual chapters can be read largely independently of each other. It is therefore a valuable resource for students, pupils, (prospective) teachers, those interested in mathematics and those who want to become one. Additional animations are available with the SN More Media app: simply download the SN More Media app free of charge, scan an image or a link with the play button and immediately play the animation on your smartphone or tablet. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content. The Author Dr. Hans Walser was a high school teacher and lecturer at the ETH Zurich, the University of Basel and the Basel University of Education in the areas of teacher training and mathematics for natural and engineering students.

Abstract

In diesem Open-Access-Buch führt Valentin Katter eine umfassende didaktisch orientierte Sachanalyse unter historisch-, logisch-, und individualgenetischen Gesichtspunkten durch, mit der es ihm möglich ist, systematisch sechs Grundvorstellungen zum Sinusbegriff zu identifizieren. Anhand detaillierter Videoanalysen zeigt der Autor anschließend, wie diese Grundvorstellungen genutzt werden können, um Denkprozesse von Lehramtsstudierenden in kooperativen Problemlösesituationen zu rekonstruieren. Diese Rekonstruktionen gewähren einen Einblick in das komplexe individuelle Netz von Vorstellungen und ermöglichen es, das Potential und mögliche Hindernisse, die in ihm stecken, auszuloten. Der Autor Valentin Katter arbeitet als Wissenschaftler und Dozent am Institut für Didaktik der Mathematik (IDM) der Universität Bielefeld und promovierte dort bei Prof. Dr. Rudolf vom Hofe. Seine Arbeit ist am Übergang von der Schule zur Hochschule anzusiedeln, wo er sich mit stoffdidaktischen Fragestellungen in den Bereichen der Analysis und der Trigonometrie beschäftigt.

Abstract

This book answers, in the form of short and entertaining vignettes, the question: "What do mathematicians really do?" Readers will learn that mathematicians use numbers in the same way that novelists use letters. The individual letters are typed while the author thinks on a much grander scale, invisible to the observer. Requiring only familiarity with the multiplication table (and that for only one vignette), the book makes accessible a variety of mathematical concepts, such as game theory, chaos, and, as the author puts it, the c******* of variations. The author accomplishes this with a light, engaging style, and a range of real-world examples that includes everything from barbershops to President James Garfield. Mathematicians Don't Work With Numbers will be of interest to the large audience of people who have always assumed that mathematicians do, in fact, work with numbers.

Abstract

In diesem Open-Access-Buch wird gezeigt, dass ein Instrument zur sprachlichen adaptiven Anpassung benötigt wird, um auf die sprachlichen Lernvoraussetzungen bei Textaufgaben von Lernenden im Mathematikunterricht reagieren zu können. Auf Basis eines quantitativen Vorgehens werden die sprachlichen Variationen in mathematische Textaufgaben festgestellt und als Grundlage für sprachliche Veränderungspraktiken genutzt. Anhand der Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit werden fünf Faktoren herausgestellt, die für die Variation von Textaufgaben bedeutsam sind: der erklärende, komprimierende, beschreibende, informative und instruktive Faktor. Zur Konzeption des Instruments werden der Einfluss auf die Aufgabenschwierigkeit und die Verbindung zu fachlich-kontextuellen Merkmalen bestimmt.

Abstract

This textbook focuses on the basics and complex themes of group theory taught to senior undergraduate mathematics students across universities. The contents focus on the properties of groups, subgroups, cyclic groups, permutation groups, cosets and Lagrange’s theorem, normal subgroups and factor groups, group homomorphisms and isomorphisms, automorphisms, direct products, group actions and Sylow theorems. Pedagogical elements such as end of chapter exercises and solved problems are included to help understand abstract notions. Intermediate lemmas are also carefully designed so that they not only serve the theorems but are also valuable independently. The book is a useful reference to undergraduate and graduate students besides academics.

Abstract

Mathematics and mathematics education research have an ongoing interest in improving our understanding of mathematical problem posing and solving. This book focuses on problem posing in a context of mathematical giftedness. The contributions particularly address where such problems come from, what properties they should have, and which differences between school mathematics and more complex kinds of mathematics exist. These perspectives are examined internationally, allowing for cross-national insights. The Editors Deniz Sarikaya is a guest researcher at the University of Copenhagen and the Technical University of Denmark (funded by the DAAD) and postdoctoral researcher at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (within an FWO-project). Lukas Baumanns did his doctorate on problem posing at the University of Cologne. Currently he works at the Chair of Special Education in Mathematics and focuses on early mathematics learning and mathematical difficulties. Karl Heuer is an assistant professor in Discrete Mathematics at the Technical University of Denmark. He mainly works in Graph Theory, but is also active in enrichment programmes. He obtained his PhD in mathematics at the University of Hamburg. Benjamin Rott is a professor of Mathematics Education at the University of Cologne. He obtained a PhD at the University of Hannover, worked at the University of Education Freiburg and the University of Duisburg-Essen. His research interests include problem posing/solving, giftedness, and beliefs. .

Abstract

This book is an autobiographical interview with Chinese Academician Yuan Wang on his experience in mathematical research. In the book Wang’s way of studying Goldbach conjecture is revealed in detail from motivation to method; Wang’s approach and viewpoint of doing applied mathematics are described by the research cases of his applying number theoretic method to numerical integration and mathematical statistics. Wang’s work on algebraic number theory is traced back in a separate chapter. The book ends with two chapters which introduce Wang’s interest in history of mathematics and his hobbies outside of mathematical research and show how a mathematician can in the same time be a historical and popular science writer and, in particular, a well-received calligrapher. The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students studying number theory and its applications, researchers who are willing to learn from the experience of an established mathematician, as well as math amateurs and general audience who are interested in Wang's life story.
