Techniques of Problem Solving

The purpose of this book is to teach the basic principles of problem solving, including both mathematical and nonmathematical problems. This book will help students to ... translate verbal discussions into analytical data. learn problem-solving methods for attacking collections of analytical questions or data. build a personal arsenal of internalized problem-solving techniques and solutions. become ``armed problem solvers'', ready to do battle with a variety of puzzles in different areas of life. Taking a direct and practical approach to the subject matter, Krantz's book stands apart from others like it in that it incorporates exercises throughout the text. After many solved problems are given, a ``Challenge Problem'' is presented. Additional problems are included for readers to tackle at the end of each chapter. There are more than 350 problems in all. This book won the CHOICE Outstanding Academic Book Award for 1997. A Solutions Manual to most end-of-chapter exercises is available.

Introduction to Combinatorics, Second Edition

What Is Combinatorics Anyway? Broadly speaking, combinatorics is the branch of mathematics dealing with different ways of selecting objects from a set or arranging objects. It tries to answer two major kinds of questions, namely, counting questions: how many ways can a selection or arrangement be chosen with a particular set of properties; and structural questions: does there exist a selection or arrangement of objects with a particular set of properties? The authors have presented a text for students at all levels of preparation. For some, this will be the first course where the students see several real proofs. Others will have a good background in linear algebra, will have completed the calculus stream, and will have started abstract algebra. The text starts by briefly discussing several examples of typical combinatorial problems to give the reader a better idea of what the subject covers. The next chapters explore enumerative ideas and also probability. It then moves on to enumerative functions and the relations between them, and generating functions and recurrences., Important families of functions, or numbers and then theorems are presented. Brief introductions to computer algebra and group theory come next. Structures of particular interest in combinatorics: posets, graphs, codes, Latin squares, and experimental designs follow. The authors conclude with further discussion of the interaction between linear algebra and combinatorics. Features Two new chapters on probability and posets. Numerous new illustrations, exercises, and problems. More examples on current technology use A thorough focus on accuracy Three appendices: sets, induction and proof techniques, vectors and matrices, and biographies with historical notes, Flexible use of MapleTM and MathematicaTM

A Course in Mathematical Statistics

This rigorous graduate level textbook is a revised and updated second edition of the 1973 text. The coverage is extensive, with chapters focused on areas from sequential analysis to linear models and much more. Exercises are included at the end of each section, allowing students to implement the learned material quickly and easily, without having to search the whole text for information.

Teaching Primary Mathematics

The fifth edition of Teaching Primary Mathematics has been significantly revised and updated for the current educational environment. The organisation of the book has been redesigned to reflect feedback from readers and the approach taken by the Australian Curriculum: Mathematics. Teaching Primary Mathematics provides teachers and students with a sound framework for the successful teaching of mathematics to primary students. It is suitable both as a core text for primary student teachers and as an indispensable reference for practicing primary teachers seeking to update their knowledge.

Mathematical Discovery on Understanding, Learning, and Teaching Problem Solving

George Polya was a Hungarian mathematician. Born in Budapest on 13 December 1887, his original name was Polya Gyorg. He wrote perhaps the most famous book of mathematics ever written, namely "How to Solve It." However, "How to Solve It" is not strictly speaking a math book. It is a book about how to solve problems of any kind, of which math is just one type of problem. The same techniques could in principle be used to solve any problem one encounters in life (such as how to choose the best wife ). Therefore, Polya wrote the current volume to explain how the techniques set forth in "How to Solve It" can be applied to specific areas such as geometry.

Constructive Approximation

The book describes function spaces used in approximation, the needed functional analytic tools. It develops basic properties of polynomials, splines, linear operators that are used for approximation (and interpolation). The book takes the reader up to and into the recent great advances of Approximation Theory and emphasizes good proofs, logical selection of material, avoidance of superfluous details.

Special cases of Haar systems on [a, b] are the Polya systems. Their definition is
based on the following remarks: 1. If V = {vo,...,Vk-\} is a Haar system on \a,b] and
w € C[a, b] is strictly positive, then W := {wv0 wvk-i} is also a Haar system on [a, ...
