By George King
Is there more than just the operation of addition in arithmetic? Can you subtract any number from another without borrowing? Can you multiply without carrying? Why, when doing a division problem, do you multiply, subtract, etc.? Is there a real mathematical basis behind the Order of Operations? Why does 'invert and multiply' work when dividing fractions? What are common denominators? Why do you not need common denominators to multiply fractions? If you are unsure about any of the answers to the above questions then you should read this book. It is sure to take some of the 'mystery' out of arithmetic as well as adding to your understanding. Mathematics teachers: You can bring a fresh approach to teaching arithmetic, and hopefully a better understanding for your students. Parents: No more do you have to say 'I don't understand the new math.' This is the old math from a new perspective. Anybody else: This is a 'fun' book to read, especially for a math book. It will not be long before you are seeing the Hermit move in and out of his cave, scratching his head, and trying to explain some mathematical property.

By Robert Hammond
Is it possible that the desire to learn mathematics is being destroyed for most students because of conditioning based on rote learning with the focus on pure mathematics and geometry through computer-driven instruction? Author Robert L. Hammond believes this to be the case and discusses solutions to this problem in Reasoning and Applied Mathematics for the Early Years: A Handbook for Teachers. Hammond provides lessons on how we can learn to love mathematics by approaching it as a "free creation of thought" as he: - Examines the current math programs for reasoning for seventh- and eighth-grade students, and indicates the need for focusing on reasoning as a major part of math instruction
- Reviews the results of his research to develop arithmetic and mathematical situations for the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
- Reviews the laws governing the four basic operations that give the foundation for the lessons used in the workbook
Reasoning and Applied Mathematics for the Early Years also includes a student workbook as a resource for methods to teach reasoning and skill development to students. Using the guidelines provided, teachers can help their students develop skills in critical reading, thinking, and writing, while honing their reasoning and applied mathematics proficiencies.

By Aileen Yamate Ed.D.
To the Teacher: What this book does is give you a systematic way to organize a mathematics curriculum. This is mathematics across the broad spectrum of curriculum, i.e. the skills and knowledge that students learn from this program can be applied and supported in other content areas. To the Parents: This book is designed to relate to you as a parent/guardian the importance of your involvement in your child's learning in this case, mathematics. To the Audience: What goes on behind the closed classroom door? You are invited to my journey in teaching mathematics to and making a difference in the lives of underachievers. I had to listen to each student and learn from them "how to teach for their learning."

By Miguel Gutierrez, Makoto Taniguchi
This monograph covers a fresh and original look at musical chords. The idea emanates from the fact that an intervallic representation of the chord leads naturally to a discrete barycentric condition. This condition itself leads to a convenient geometric representation of the chordal space as a simplicial grid. Chords appear as points in this grid and musical inversions of the chord would generate beautiful polyhedra inscribed in concentric spheres centered at the barycenter. The radii of these spheres would effectively quantify the evenness and thus the consonance of the chord. Internal symmetries would collapse these chordal structures into polar or equatorial displays, creating a platform for a thorough degeneracy study. Appropiate morphisms would allow us to navigate through different chordal cardinalities and ultimately to characterise complementary chords.
