Broken into 18 chapters, this book addresses everything from the fundamental principles of nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics, to the role of nutritional factors in various diseases and disorders, to the ethical practices surrounding nutritional genomics. Compiled for nutrition researchers, nutritionists, health professionals, and graduate students studying related topics, Nutrigenomics for Clinical Medicine and Personalized Healthcare is sure to be a welcomed reference.
The Mathematical Education of Teachers
A report on the state of current thinking on curriculum and policy issues affecting the mathematical education of teachers, with the goal of stimulating campus efforts to improve programs for prospective K-12 teachers. Its primary audience is members of the mathematics faculties and administrators at colleges and universities, but the report may also be of interest to math supervisors in school districts and state education departments, to education policy bodies at the state and national levels, and to accreditation and certification organizations. c.

The SimCalc Vision and Contributions
This volume provides essential guidance for transforming mathematics learning in schools through the use of innovative technology, pedagogy, and curriculum. It presents clear, rigorous evidence of the impact technology can have in improving students learning of important yet complex mathematical concepts -- and goes beyond a focus on technology alone to clearly explain how teacher professional development, pedagogy, curriculum, and student participation and identity each play an essential role in transforming mathematics classrooms with technology. Further, evidence of effectiveness is complemented by insightful case studies of how key factors lead to enhancing learning, including the contri...
Teaching Mathematics in Colleges and Universities
Progress in mathematics frequently occurs first by studying particular examples and then by generalizing the patterns that have been observed into far-reaching theorems. Similarly, in teaching mathematics one often employs examples to motivate a general principle or to illustrate its use. This volume uses the same idea in the context of learning how to teach: By analyzing particular teaching situations, one can develop broadly applicable teaching skills useful for the professional mathematician. These teaching situations are the Case Studies of the title. Just as a good mathematician seeks both to understand the details of a particular problem and to put it in a broader context, the examples...
One Field, Many Paths: U. S. Doctoral Programs in Mathematics Education
This book is the first to focus specifically on doctoral programs in mathematics education. It reflects the proceedings of a National Conference on Doctoral Programs in Mathematics Education (Lake Ozark, MO) which was sponsored by the National Science Foundation. This conference was proceeded by a comprehensive survey of programs conducted over the preceding year. The meeting was designed to generate dialog regarding the nature of current doctoral programs in mathematics education, to discuss ways to strengthen such programs, and to detail suggestions and guidelines for faculty engaged in restructuring an existing program or in creating a new one.
Thinking Visually
Language is a marvelous tool for communication, but it is greatly overrated as a tool for thought. This volume documents the many ways pictures, visual images, and spatial metaphors influence our thinking. It discusses both classic and recent research that support the view that visual thinking occurs not only where we expect to find it, but also where we do not. Much of comprehending language, for instance, depends on visual simulations of words or on spatial metaphors that provide a foundation for conceptual understanding. Thinking Visually supports comprehension by reducing jargon and by providing many illustrations, educational applications, and problems for readers to solve. It provides ...
