Description

Description

This book caters to both prospective and current mathematics educators at the school and university levels, along with their students and anyone intrigued by the possibilities of integrating software into mathematics education.

Mathematics, being a unified science, is best comprehended when its cohesive nature is emphasized and demonstrated to students. Educational software assumes a pivotal role in achieving this pedagogical goal.

The book outlines the author’s methodology in utilizing educational software for developing and applying computer models, grounded in a thorough analysis of the subject matter. This approach is vividly illustrated through examples employing a non-profit authoring program (VisuMatica) provided with the book, enabling users to:

Through the guidance of this book, students will discover mathematics as clear, visible, friendly, and enjoyable.

The author exemplifies this approach by focusing on the functional line of mathematics, spanning from school basics to advanced university courses in higher mathematics. Importantly, the assimilated ideas and techniques are readily applicable to teaching and learning other areas of mathematics.

Contents:

  • Counterexamples in Mathematics Education: Why, Where, and How?
  • Functional Line in Mathematics Studies
  • Functional Line in the Studies of Equations and Inequalities
  • Limit and Continuity
  • Derivative and Integral
  • Function as a Space Transformation

Readership: Future and current school and university teachers of mathematics, students. Anyone interested in the possibilities and ways of using software in teaching and learning mathematics.

Vladimir Nodelman began teaching mathematics at school in 1970 shortly before graduating from the Belarusian State University (MSc in mathematics). He received a doctorate in mathematics education from the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of the USSR. For many years, the author is a faculty member of the Department of Computer Science of the School of Computer Science at the Holon Institute of Technology. The main area of his scientific research remains unchanged — the ways of teaching mathematics using educational software. The results of these studies and many of the book’s ideas were published in articles and reported at numerous international conferences.
