Prealgebra (3rd Edition) 5 reviews
K. Elayn Martin-Gay
Prentice Hall, 2001
A MUST FOR STUDENTS CONSIDERING ALGEBRA
Being that I am 28 years of age and a freshman in college, I was placed in the remedial math class for which this text was required. I was terrified due to the fact I failed math in high school and even the WORD Algebra scared me. This book has great examples and it really helped me understand the concepts of Algebra. I have a 97% average in my class and when I go onto Algebra I next term, I ...

Elementary Functions: Algorithms and Implementation3 reviews
Birkhäuser Boston, 2005
When every bit matters
Most people use floating point arithmetic in a fairly cavalier way. They treat double precision numbers as exact. And, although people use commercial libraries for transcendentals and the like, they seem unconcerned when they need to implement an offbeat function or approximation. Everyone knows the Taylor series for exp(x), for example, so how hard could it be to code that up? (Answer: easy to ...

A Course in Arithmetic (Graduate Texts in Mathematics,)5 reviews
J-P Serre, Jean Pierre Serre
Springer, 1973
Breathtaking
Serre's work could best be summarized in one word - Elegance. The book comprises of two distinct parts. The first one is the 'algebraic' part. Serre's goal in this section is to give a complete classification of the quadratic forms over the rationals. As preliminaries to reaching this goal, he introduces the reader to quadratic reciprocity, p-adic fields and the Hilbert Symbol. After these ...

Underwood Dudley
W.H.Freeman & Co Ltd, 1970
A lot of examples and proofs! Perfect book for a beginner.
This is the excellent book if you want to study the number theory but don't know where to start. The explanations are sound and CLEAR. A lot of problems are actually solved by an author and many answers to the exercises are given at the end of book.

Introductory Algebra3 reviews
Marvin L. Bittinger
Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers Inc, 1983
A great book!
I love the way this book has you work out problems in the margins as you go through the reading. This makes sure that you understand the work that you've read about, before you go on to the next piece. I also like the fact that every other odd problem is solved step-by-step in the back of the book.

Elementary Number Theory9 reviews
Gareth A. Jones, Josephine M. Jones
Springer, 1998
Excellent intro book on number theory
Ever since my undergraduate days aeons ago, I have always had an aversion to any number theory, but Jones and Jones have changed my mind completely. In the last year, I came across a few articles that made me want to learn more about the topic, but wasn't sure where to start, as I wanted a book that had proofs that I could follow, and yet also gave me some motivation to dive into more ...

The Nashville Number System8 reviews
Chas Williams
Nashville Number System
Nashville rosetta stone
If you need to deal with Nashville you've got to speak the lingo. This is an invaluable introduction to the arcane practices of Nashville's session musicians, many of whom cannot read traditional music notation and play all their amazing material by ear and feel.
For any songwriter who wants commercial success this is an useful tool.

Ruth Bell Alexander
Workman Publishing Company, 1998
Number Jugglers is the most important math game in my class.
I have taught a multi-age class, grades 1,2, and 3 for 10 years and have found Number Jugglers to be the most popular and useful math game in my class's math program. Children who do not feel successful in other ways in math, find a place of comfort with Number Jugglers. Children are thinking, manipulating numbers, problem solving, and practicing math facts while having a great deal of fun. ...

All about numbers: Book 2 (A Beka Book traditional math series)1 review
Judy Hull Moore
A Beka Book Publications, 1981
another fine book by one of the great Englishmen of our time
In this youthful - slightly impetuous - masterwork, Richard Norton-Taylor aspires to be the Tom Paine of his time; but he is somewhat more indebted to his long experience of espionage.

Young Children Reinvent Arithmetic: Implications of Piaget's Theory (Early Childhood Education Series ...3 reviews
Constance Kamii, Leslie Baker Housman
Teachers College Press, 1999
Kamii shows how children think
It's helpful to have at least a passing acquaintance with Jean Piaget's theories before reading this book, but it's not necessary. Kamii shows in so many many ways that the thought life of young children is different from our own. Not only should this be required reading for all Kindergarten through second grade teachers, but also for those politicians and political pundits whose back to ...

Excellent book for beginning courses
This book is ideal for an undergraduate course in number theory. The combination of theory, problems and biographical sketches of the principals who made it what it is today is an excellent pedagogical technique. It allows an instructor to show how number theory began very early in mathematical history and how it has progressed over the centuries. Number theory holds the distinction as being the ...

Workjobs II: Number Activities for Early Childhood2 reviews
Mary B. Baratta-Lorton
Dale Seymour Publications, 1978
What a wonderful EC math book!
I looked through (and bought) several Early Childhood math concepts books before I started teaching, and this one was by far the best of the lot. Don't be turned off by the early '70s look of the cover and layout, the "workjobs" are excellent for teaching children math concepts. You might have to make slight modifications, but overall it is a great blueprint for excellent supplemental ...

This was used as a reference for a project my son was doing. It had easy to understand explanations and worksheets that helped us along. Another plus for a math book is that it is filled with many visuals that enhance the written text.

Veteran's Dad--rookie readers
All of the rookie readers books should be a must for any Prek or primary elementary school class. I have most if not all in the series and all are fantastic. The pictures are vibrant, the text simple yet detailed enough to educate.
