If you have students in your school who do not have English as their primary language, this is a must-listen-to episode. (Or And all of a sudden I'm taking Algebra 2, I'm taking Calculus. So you would choose your primary language on there. Or read the transcript at the end of this post.) We can do this!

This is the second part of a two-parter where I am going into detail about how the grading system in my current course, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations, is set up. The first part, where I described the big picture of the course, its learning objectives, and what a "C" and "A" semester grade should mean, is here.

The three primary trigonometric ratios are sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan). Understanding the Basics: Trigonometric Ratios To understand the basics of trigonometric ratios ( 2 ), it’s important to familiarize yourself with the relationships between angles and sides in a right triangle.

This is the third installment of a series of posts focusing on the Four Pillars of Alternative Grading : The Four Pillars are a model that seeks to identify the elements that alternative forms of grading have in common elements whose primary goals are improving grading and making it focused on student growth.

Almost any algebraic computation ends up somehow involving polynomials. can be manipulated as an algebraic number, but with minimal polynomial: &#10005. And all of this makes possible a transformative update to polynomial linear algebra, i.e. operations on matrices whose elements are (univariate) polynomials. &#10005.

And its curriculum is used both as primary lessons and as what its leaders call “complementary” lessons, which emphasize visual models and real-life examples. The nonprofit runs the learning platform Zearn Math, whose instruction stresses interactive features and feedback to students, according to the website.

be the primary measure of success in a course, and some measure of grace and flexibility will be included along with high standards and "rigor" And for other instructors, this concept raises more questions than answers. For some instructors, it provides hope that student growth will (finally!) Limit the frequency of reassessments.

we added algebraic numbers (represented implicitly by Root )—and a dozen years later we added algebraic number fields and transcendental roots. And here again we’re always making progress, sometimes integrating newly available large-scale secondary data sources, and sometimes doing direct curation ourselves from primary sources.

Then McCarthy started to explain ways a computer could do algebra. It was all algebra. And the only conclusion we can arrive at is that a person can’t do this much algebra with the hope of getting it right.” And Minsky mentioned work a student of his was doing on the “AI problem” of symbolic integration.

In 2000 I was interested in what the simplest possible axiom system for logic (Boolean algebra) might be. It’s worth mentioning, by the way, that while the three-body problem does show sensitive dependence on initial conditions , that’s not the primary issue here; rather, it’s the actual intrinsic complexity of the trajectories.)

But then—basically starting in the early 1980s—there was a burst of progress based on a new idea (of which, yes, I seem to have ultimately been the primary initiator): the idea of using simple programs , rather than mathematical equations, as the basis for models of things in nature and elsewhere. One is so-called Böhm trees.

Back in 2018—a year before beginning the Physics Project—I returned, for example, to what’s become known as the Wolfram Axiom: the axiom that I found in A New Kind of Science that is the very simplest possible axiom for Boolean algebra. I identified two primary ones, which I called “ ruliology ” and “ metamodeling ”.
