Higher Order Derivatives

The concept of higher order derivatives is useful in many branches of mathematics and its applications. As they are useful in many places nth order derivatives are often defined directly. Higher Order Derivatives discusses these derivatives their uses and the relations among them. It covers higher order generalized derivatives including the Peano d. l. V. P. and Abel derivatives; along with the symmetric and unsymmetric Riemann Cesàro Borel LP- and Laplace derivatives. Although much work has been done on the Peano and de la Vallée Poussin derivatives there is a large amount of work to be done on the other higher order derivatives as their properties remain often virtually unexplored. This book introduces newcomers interested in the field of higher order derivatives to the present state of knowledge. Basic advanced real analysis is the only required background and although the special Denjoy integral has been used knowledge of the Lebesgue integral should suffice.

Abstract Algebra A First Course

When a student of mathematics studies abstract algebra he or she inevitably faces questions in the vein of What is abstract algebra or What makes it abstract? Algebra in its broadest sense describes a way of thinking about classes of sets equipped with binary operations. In high school algebra a student explores properties of operations (+ − × and ÷) on real numbers. Abstract algebra studies properties of operations without specifying what types of number or object we work with. Any theorem established in the abstract context holds not only for real numbers but for every possible algebraic structure that has operations with the stated properties. This textbook intends to serve as a first course in abstract algebra. The selection of topics serves both of the common trends in such a course: a balanced introduction to groups rings and fields; or a course that primarily emphasizes group theory. The writing style is student-centered conscientiously motivating definitions and offering many illustrative examples. Various sections or sometimes just examples or exercises introduce applications to geometry number theory cryptography and many other areas. This book offers a unique feature in the lists of projects at the end of each section. the author does not view projects as just something extra or cute but rather an opportunity for a student to work on and demonstrate their potential for open-ended investigation. The projects ideas come in two flavors: investigative or expository. The investigative projects briefly present a topic and posed open-ended questions that invite the student to explore the topic asking and to trying to answer their own questions. Expository projects invite the student to explore a topic with algebraic content or pertain to a particular mathematician’s work through responsible research. The exercises challenge the student to prove new results using the theorems presented in the text. The student then becomes an active participant in the development of the field. | Abstract Algebra A First Course

Teaching Mathematics at a Technical College

Not much has been written about technical colleges especially teaching mathematics at one. Much had been written about community college mathematics. This book addresses this disparity. Mathematics is a beautiful subject worthy to be taught at the technical college level. The author sheds light on technical colleges and their importance in the higher education system. Technical colleges area more affordable for students and provide many career opportunities. These careers are becoming or have become as lucrative as careers requiring a four-year-degree. The interest in technical college education is likely to continue to grow. Mathematics like all other classes is a subject that needs time energy and dedication to learn. For an instructor it takes many years of hard work and dedication just to be able to teach the subject. Students should not be expected to learn the mathematics overnight. As instructors we need to be open honest and put forth our very best to our students so that they can see that they are able to succeed in whatever is placed in front of them. This book hopes to encourage such an effort. A notable percentage of students who are receiving associate degrees will go through at least one of more mathematics courses. These students should not be forgotten about—their needs are similar to any student who is required to take a mathematics course to earn a degree. This book offers insight into teaching mathematics at a technical college. It is also a source for students to turn toward when they are feeling dread in taking a mathematics course. Mathematics instructors want to help students succeed. If they put forth their best effort and us ours we can all work as one team to get the student through the course and onto chasing their dreams. Though this book focuses on teaching mathematics some chapters expand to focus on teaching in general. The overall hope is the reader will be inspired by the great work that is happening at technical colleges all around the country. Technical college can be should be and is the backbone of the American working class.

Evaluating What Works An Intuitive Guide to Intervention Research for Practitioners

Those who work in allied health professions and education aim to make people’s lives better. Often however it is hard to know how effective this work has been: would change have occurred if there was no intervention? Is it possible we are doing more harm than good? To answer these questions and develop a body of knowledge about what works we need to evaluate interventions. Objective intervention research is vital to improve outcomes but this is a complex area where it is all too easy to misinterpret evidence. This book uses practical examples to increase awareness of the numerous sources of bias that can lead to mistaken conclusions when evaluating interventions. The focus is on quantitative research methods and exploration of the reasons why those both receiving and implementing intervention behave in the ways they do. Evaluating What Works: Intuitive Guide to Intervention Research for Practitioners illustrates how different research designs can overcome these issues and points the reader to sources with more in-depth information. This book is intended for those with little or no background in statistics to give them the confidence to approach statistics in published literature with a more critical eye recognise when more specialist advice is needed and give them the ability to communicate more effectively with statisticians. Key Features: Strong focus on quantitative research methods Complements more technical introductions to statistics Provides a good explanation of how quantitative studies are designed and what biases and pitfalls they can involve | Evaluating What Works An Intuitive Guide to Intervention Research for Practitioners

A Pen and Paper Introduction to Statistics

Statistics is central in the biosciences social sciences and other disciplines yet many students often struggle to learn how to perform statistical tests and to understand how and why statistical tests work. Although there are many approaches to teaching statistics a common framework exists between them: starting with probability and distributions then sampling from distribution and descriptive statistics and later introducing both simple and complex statistical tests typically ending with regression analysis (linear models). This book proposes to reverse the way statistics is taught by starting with the introduction of linear models. Today many statisticians know that the one unifying principle of statistical tests is that most of them are instances of linear models. This teaching method has two advantages: all statistical tests in a course can be presented under the same unifying framework simplifying things; second linear models can be expressed as lines over squared paper replacing any equation with a drawing. This book explains how and why statistics works without using a single equation just lines and squares over grid paper. The reader will have the opportunity to work through the examples and compute sums of squares by just drawing and counting and finally evaluating whether observed differences are statistically significant by using the tables provided. Intended for students scientists and those with little prior knowledge of statistics this book is for all with simple and clear examples computations and drawings helping the reader to not only do statistical tests but also understand statistics. | A Pen and Paper Introduction to Statistics
