Searching is a life skill. Which car or stereo should I buy? Which college should I choose? Which book should I read next? Is this doctor adequately prepared to diagnose my condition or perform my surgery? How can I sell this idea to my boss? How can I convince the board to accept my proposal? For whom should I vote? We are always seeking information. Information helps us reach conclusions, make important life choices, and communicate more effectively. Those who can locate the good stuff and use it well have a real advantage.

Probability Demystified (Demystified)
ISBN: 0071445498
Author: Allan G. Bluman
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional
Publication Date: 2005-01-27
Number Of Pages: 258
Format: PDF

Many people do not understand the basic concepts of probability, as evidenced by the proliferation of those participating in lotteries, horse racing, and gambling at casinos. But probability and statistics are becoming increasingly important in today’s society. As the basic ideas are being taught in elementary schools through college, it’s important that everyone has a basic understanding of probability theory. Probability theory explains the happenings that occur due to chance. Although it is not possible to predict for certain the individual outcome of a chance process, it is possible to determine outcomes in the “long run,” and to predict the probability that something will eventually occur. This book will present the basics of probability in a non-rigorous manner. Only an understanding of arithmetic and some basic algebra are necessary to learn these ideas. No high-powered mathematical notation or formal proofs will be used, rather the concepts will be developed from examples using coins, dice, cards, and other common probability devices.

Understanding Primary Mathematics
ISBN: 1843120127
Author: C. Hopkins
Publisher: David Fulton Publish
Publication Date: 2005-07-07
Number Of Pages: 245
Format: PDF

In this textbook, the foundations of mathematics are made explicit and the reader is guided through the background knowledge and understanding that are required for the subject, offering a well-structured overview of the important issues to be considered when learning about mathematics on a Primary QTS course, and a coherent approach to the content to be found in the standards for QTS, the National Curriculum at Key Stages 1 and 2 and the numeracy strategy.

The authors aim to help teachers review and restructure the understanding of mathematics gained during their education, progressing from partial memories of a few process to an understanding of why the skills they were taught make sense and how they fit into a coherent mathematics curriculum, arguing that to teach mathematics effectively it is not enough to be able to do the mathematics, you need to understand why you do what you do. Aimed at all teachers of primary mathematics, this book is also likely to be valuable to secondary teachers, parents,administrators and others interested in the foundations of school mathematics.
