Dr. Math Explains Algebra | Mathematical Moments - AMS
Second Annual Drexel Math Contest
DR. MATH EXPLAINS ALGEBRA
by the Math Forum @ Drexel
John Wiley & Sons
ISBN 0-471-22555-X
We are pleased to announce that "Dr. Math Explains Algebra"
has joined our first book, "Dr. Math Gets You Ready for
Algebra," in bookstores this month. With the holidays
approaching consider giving both books as gifts!
The second book includes dozens of letters from kids who've
had trouble understanding algebraic concepts, along with
answers from trained volunteers drawn from a pool of
college students, mathematicians, teachers, and
professionals from the mathematical community. Topics
covered include linear equations, systems of equations,
polynomials, factoring, quadratic equations, and much more.
For more information and a link to purchase the book from
Amazon.com, please visit:

We hope the books will find a place in classroom, library,
and home collections. We invite you to display a link from
your school's website to our book information page. Feel

MATHEMATICAL MOMENTS PROGRAM - AMS
http://www.ams.org/mathmoments/
The American Mathematical Society's Mathematical Moments is
a series of illustrated "snapshots" designed to promote
appreciation and understanding of the role mathematics plays
in science, nature, technology, and human culture.
Since we last featured Mathematical Moments, the AMS has
added nine new topics:
- Tracing Your Routes
- Charging Through Space
- Beating Traffic
- Making Connections
- Bringing Robots to Life
- Expressing Yourself
- Cutting the Cord
- Revolutionizing Computing
- Defeating Disease
Download standard PDFs or short versions of these and other
examples of scientific, technological, and cultural
applications of math. For further investigation into a
Mathematical Moment, link to its related resource, an
authoritative website that expands on the topic.
