Runion, Garth E.; Lockwood, James R. – 1978
The study of the non-Euclidean geometries resulting from changes in the Euclidean parallel postulate often strengthens an individual's awareness and understanding of the deductive systems of mathematics in general. Students at both the high school and college levels are frequently fascinated by the study of deductive systems such as the two…

Wenninger, Magnus J. – 1975
This second edition explains the historical background and techniques for constructing various types of polyhedra. Seven center-fold sheets are included, containing full-scale drawings from which nets or templates may be made to construct the models shown and described in the text. Details are provided for construction of the five Platonic solids,…

Nolan, Deborah, Ed. – 1997
Women and mathematics have been thought of as two totally separate subjects for decades. In July, 1994 a group of mathematicians from around the country gathered in Berkeley, CA for three days to discuss ways to increase the representation of women in Ph.D. programs in the mathematical sciences. The primary goal of this conference was to broaden…

Senechal, Lester – 1991
This document promotes a better awareness of available technological tools, their implementation, and their advantages and applications in teaching and learning mathematics. Principles for successful implementation are: (1) computation should be an integral part of instruction; (2) software and curriculum development should go hand-in-hand; (3)…

Bruno, Leonard C. – 1987
Any real understanding of where we stand scientifically today and where we are headed depends to a great extent on an awareness of how we reached those scientific achievements. The increased impact of science and technology on our lives makes such an understanding even more important. For this reason, this book is intended to provide information…
