By PYLON EDUCATION
Pylon Math has helped students to have a positive attitude towards math, which is not a hard subject to learn but actually an easy and enjoyable subject. Pylon is the bridge to advanced math. Pylon
(1) Provides easy-to-learn methods of math (2) Self-independent Math workbook (3) Establishes students’ foundation in Pre-Algebra and Geometry for middle school and beyond (4) Throughout the book, the steps introduce concepts to be understood with efficient methods and examples (5) Makes problem solving easier for students and enhances their problem solving abilities and strategies Pylon Math Grade 5, General Math, focuses mainly on fractions and decimals, and provides various problems and methods to further understand these topics. Other topics include word problems, probability, and proportions, which are frequently added on standardized tests. All of the problems are introduced in easy and simple ways, which enhance students’ understanding of the material. This book, including all these topics, establishes the basis for pre-algebra.

Even though this book is meant for 8th grade, any grade level of students in middle school can try this book after they finished Pylon math grade 6. In this work book, topics such as equations, percents, graphing equations, box-and-whisker plots, and probability which are dealt with in middle school, are thoroughly explained and taught. If students use this book for practice for their school material, they will fully understand the concepts and steps, eventually developing interests in math.

A3 & HIS ALGEBRA is the true story of a struggling young boy from Chicago's west side who grew to become a force in American mathematics. For nearly 50 years, A. A. Albert thrived at the University of Chicago, one of the world's top centers for algebra. His "pure research" in algebra found its way into modern computers, rocket guidance systems, cryptology, and quantum mechanics, the basic theory behind atomic energy calculations. This first-hand account of the life of a world-renowned American mathematician is written by Albert's daughter. Her memoir, which favors a general audience, offers a personal and revealing look at the multidimensional life of an academic who had a lasting impact on his profession. SOME QUOTATIONS FROM PROFESSOR ALBERT: "There are really few bad students of mathematics. There are, instead, many bad teachers and bad curricula " "The difficulty of learning mathematics is increased by the fact that in so many high schools this very difficult subject is considered to be teachable by those whose major subject is language, botany, or even physical education." "It is still true that in a majority of American universities the way to find the Department of Mathematics is to ask for the location of the oldest and most decrepit building on campus." "The production of a single scientist of first magnitude will have a greater impact on our civilization than the production of fifty mediocre Ph.D.'s." "Freedom is having the time to do research Even in mathematics there are 'fashions'. This doesn't mean that the researcher is controlled by them. Many go their own way, ignoring the fashionable. That's part of the strength of a great university."

By Gregor Olsavsky
This book is an introductory linear algebra text. The topics are covered in the traditional order: linear systems, matrix algebra, vector spaces, linear transformations, orthogonality, and the eigenvalue/eigenvector problem. The book seeks to explain and discover the important concepts of linear algebra using well-chosen examples. Proofs of many important results are done if the proof can be accomplished in a succinct, straightforward fashion. There are over 100 worked-out examples in the text as well as a complete outline of every chapter and extensive review problems which test the student's knowledge of the material covered in each chapter. There are over 1200 exercises in the text, which were created by the author with care to include exercises which resemble problems done in the text. Definitions are well marked and theorems are stated as briefly as possible in order to enhance the ability of the student to remember the result. In a slightly novel way, the answers to the odd problems are given directly next to the problem. Applications such as heat transfer, spring/mass systems, population dynamics, and systems of differential equations are sprinkled throughout the text.
