I am very happy to have this opportunity to present the work of Boris Mirkin, a distinguished Russian scholar in the areas of data analysis and decision making methodologies. The monograph is devoted entirely to clustering, a discipline dispersed through many theoretical and application areas, from mathematical statistics and combina torial optimization to biology, sociology and organizational structures. It compiles an immense amount of research done to date, including many original Russian de velopments never presented to the international community before (for instance, cluster-by-cluster versions of the K-Means method in Chapter 4 or uniform par titioning in Chapter 5). The author's appr...

A collection of articles written by experienced primary, secondary, and collegiate educators. It explains why discrete mathematics should be taught in K-12 classrooms and offers guidance on how to do so. It offers school and district curriculum leaders material that addresses how discrete mathematics can be introduced into their curricula.
A systematic study of geometric nonlinear functional analysis. The main theme is the study of uniformly continuous and Lipschitz functions between Banach spaces. This study leads to the classification of Banach spaces and of their important subsets in the uniform and Lipschitz categories.
Cognitive Development in a Digital Age James Paul Gee begins his classic book with "I want to talk about video games–yes, even violent video games–and say some positive things about them." With this simple but explosive statement, one of America's most well-respected educators looks seriously at the good that can come from playing video games. This revised edition expands beyond mere gaming, introducing readers to fresh perspectives based on games like World of Warcraft and Half-Life 2. It delves deeper into cognitive development, discussing how video games can shape our understanding of the world. An undisputed must-read for those interested in the intersection of education, technology, and pop culture, What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy challenges traditional norms, examines the educational potential of video games, and opens up a discussion on the far-reaching impacts of this ubiquitous aspect of modern life.
ICMT-2014, the International Conference on Mathematics Textbook Research and Development, brought together mathematics educators, textbook researchers and developers, and policy makers from different parts of the world to share their research results, development experiences and reform ideas, and discuss issues and directions concerning mathematics textbook research and development. These proceedings contain all the papers presented at the conference, including the plenary presentations and plenary panel, as well as the symposia, research papers, and workshops. This volume provides a comprehensive record of the ICMT-2014 conference and serves as an essential reference for education researchers, practitioners, and policy makers and curriculum developers interested in mathematics textbook research and development.
Directory of leading scientists and engineers who are the leaders in the most important areas of American technology. Each entry gives education, publications, achievements, area of expertise, honors, patents, and personal information.
Humans, especially children, are naturally curious. Yet, people often balk at the thought of learning scienceâ€"the "eyes glazed over" syndrome. Teachers may find teaching science a major challenge in an era when science ranges from the hardly imaginable quark to the distant, blazing quasar. Inquiry and the National Science Education Standards is the book that educators have been waiting forâ€"a practical guide to teaching inquiry and teaching through inquiry, as recommended by the National Science Education Standards. This will be an important resource for educators who must help school boards, parents, and teachers understand "why we can't teach the way we used to." "Inquiry" refers ...
