Learning and Doing MathematicsSecond EditionJohn Mason, formerly Professor of Mathematical Education at the Open UniversityLearning and Doing is for anyone keen to develop learning skills or to enhance their problem-solving powers. It will help you develop your own strategies by recognising blockages and then using the techniques of generalizing and specializing to identify routes to a solution. Examples are varied. Many are mathematical in flavour, but they are accessible to anyone with an interest in the subject and the methods proposed apply across the curriculum and indeed to everyday situations in modern life. Developed at the Open University, all the material is tried and tested. Professor Mason's style is relaxed and colloquial - accessible to all, whether a teacher wanting to use it for examples and fresh ways to inspire, or a parent or student wanted to boost their learning and broaden their mathematical thinking. Contents:¿ Specializing ¿ Generalizing¿ Specializing and Generalizing Together¿ Convincing Yourself and Others¿ When is an Argument Valid?¿ Further Food for Thought¿ Five Interludes are presented between the chapter - to provoke practical mathematical thinking, and have some fun.Reviews of the First Edition"An excellent resource...an impressive, carefully chosen array of examples...I will certainly recommend it." John Baylis, The Mathematical Gazette"Fresh, lively and energetic...we should buy [his] books before they are banned."Ralph Schwarzenberger, Mathematics Teaching

Major Percy Alexander MacMahon is one of the nineteenth century's forgotten mathematical heroes. Mathematicians know him for his classic work Combinatory Analysis, a book still in print. He also published four papers on recreational topics. New Mathematical Pastimes develops some of these ideas. It has had a widespread and persistent influence but is still unknown to many recreational mathematicians and the puzzle community. The book is hard to come by and so it seems fitting to produce a reprint to celebrate the 150th anniversary of his birth.MacMahon set out to demonstrate the principles by which an interested reader, with some work and thought, could create his or her own amusements. It also contained a completely original approach to visual puzzles, where edge matching could be forced by altering the profiles of the edges, a process described in Part II of the book. The results of these transformations are remarkably similar to work produced by Maurits Escher, and predate him by a decade and a half. As well as being important as a resource the subject is by no means exhausted. A worthwhile and important addition to any collection - in book and CD form (CD with much original, additional material).

The author spent many years teaching at a selective school with the constant challenge of including the most able pupils, whilst at the same time avoiding the danger of excluding the rest of a class. These worksheets are the result C many of them include fairly routine work, but most have more difficult questions to provide a challenge for the really able. The answer sections provide guidance on these difficult questions. Book G topics covered include: Areas, angles and constructions on graph paper; Draw and investigate; Exploring triangles; Starting vectors and Pythagoras; Parallelograms; Regular polygons; Enemy territory using coordinates; Reflections; Calculating Pi; Similar shapes; Loci; Scaling; Tangents and touching circles; Shapes and surds

This aim of this book is to demystify the medical and legal aspects of bringing a claim for psychological injuries. In this respect it has two potential audiences. Firstly, lawyers and claims handlers for whom it is hoped that it will help to explain the terms which appear in medical reports and often appear as incomprehensible technical jargon and concepts. Hopefully it will set them on the road to asking the right questions and making the right assessments in the litigation. Second, it is aimed at medical practitioners who may enter the medico-legal world and whilst their expertise is in no doubt, may have questions as to what may be expected of them in a different forum. It is hoped that it will provide them with guidance as to the sorts of issues they will be expected to address in the legal process.Contents include:SECTION I: PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS1. Classification of Psychological Disorders2. Causation and Attribution3. Maximising the Reliability of Evidence: Detecting or Preventing Deception4. Treatment and Prognosis5. Resolving Evidential ConflictSECTION II: LEGAL ASPECTS6. Legal basis of claims for psychological injuries7. Translating Clinical Opinion into Quantum8. Civil ProcedureSECTION III: CONCLUSION9. Psychological Assessment into the 21st CenturyEssential reading for anyone involved in personal injury - from the simplest RTA that may involved PTSD to complex million plus litigation.
