Het Nederlandse wiskundeonderwijs is volop in beweging. Curricula worden herzien en nieuwe digitale technologieën vinden hun weg naar het klaslokaal. Ook de wiskundedidactiek – de specifieke kennis over het leren en onderwijzen van wiskunde – ontwikkelt zich voortdurend. Over de huidige stand van zaken van dit vakgebied wil dit boek studenten, leraren, lerarenopleiders, auteurs en trainers informeren.

In drie delen biedt dit boek leraren handvatten om hun wiskundig-didactische vaardighed...

Dit boek behandelt in de eerste twaalf hoofdstukken de vlakke meetkunde en de ruimtemeetkunde met behulp van eenvoudige lineaire algebra. Van de reële getallen hebben we alleen de meest elementaire eigenschappen nodig: dat zijn de rekenregels met betrekking tot optellen, aftrekken, vermenigvuldigen, delen en het feit dat we uit een positief getal de wortel kunnen trekken. Speciale aandacht wordt besteed aan het uitbreiden van het vlak en de ruimte met oneindig verre punten tot een projectief...

Engineering Mathematics with Examples and Applications provides a compact and concise primer in the field, starting with the foundations, and then gradually developing to the advanced level of mathematics that is necessary for all engineering disciplines. Therefore, this book's aim is to help undergraduates rapidly develop the fundamental knowledge of engineering mathematics. The book can also be used by graduates to review and refresh their mathematical skills.

Step-by-step worked examples w...

Logic is often perceived as having little to do with the rest of philosophy, and even less to do with real life. In this lively and accessible introduction, Graham Priest shows how wrong this conception is. He explores the philosophical roots of the subject, explaining how modern formal logic deals with issues ranging from the existence of God and the reality of time to paradoxes of probability and decision theory.

Along the way, the basics of formal logic are explained in simple, non-technic...

This book grew out of a course of lectures given to third year undergraduates at Oxford University and it has the modest aim of producing a rapid introduction to the subject. It is designed to be read

Statistical Inference via Data Science: A ModernDive into R and the Tidyverse provides a pathway for learning about statistical inference using data science tools widely used in industry, academia, and government. It introduces the tidyverse suite of R packages, including the ggplot2 package for data visualization, and the dplyr package for data wrangling. After equipping readers with just enough of these data science tools to perform effective exploratory data analyses, the book covers tradi...

The companion book to COURSERA®'s wildly popular massive open online course "Learning How to Learn"

Whether you are a student struggling to fulfill a math or science requirement, or you are embarking on a career change that requires a new skill set, A Mind for Numbers offers the tools you need to get a better grasp of that intimidating material. Engineering professor Barbara Oakley knows firsthand how it feels to struggle with math. She flunked her way through high school math and s...

Discrete Mathematical Structures, Sixth Edition, offers a clear and concise presentation of the fundamental concepts of discrete mathematics. Ideal for a one-semester introductory course, this text contains more genuine computer science applications than any other text in the field. This book is written at an appropriate level for a wide variety of majors and non-majors, and assumes a college algebra course as a prerequisite.

This text emphasizes the physical interpretation of mathematical solutions and introduces applied mathematics while presenting differential equations. Coverage includes Fourier series, orthogonal functions, boundary value problems, Green’s functions, and transform methods. This text is ideal for students in science, engineering, and applied mathematics.

For upper-level to graduate courses in Probability or Probability and Statistics, for majors in mathematics, statistics, engineering, and the sciences. Explores both the mathematics and the many potential applications of probability theory A First Course in Probability offers an elementary introduction to the theory of probability for students in mathematics, statistics, engineering, and the sciences. Through clear and intuitive explanations, it attempts to present not only the mathematics of...
