In this text the authors consider the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation (ut = - uxxx + 6uux) with periodic boundary conditions. Derived to describe long surface waves in a narrow and shallow channel, this equation in fact models waves in homogeneous, weakly nonlinear and weakly dispersive media in general. Viewing the KdV equation as an infinite dimensional, and in fact integrable Hamiltonian system, we first construct action-angle coordinates which turn out to be globally defined. They make evident that all solutions of the periodic KdV equation are periodic, quasi-periodic or almost-periodic in time. Also, their construction leads to some new results along the way. Subsequently, these coordinates allow us to apply a general KAM theorem for a class of integrable Hamiltonian pde's, proving that large families of periodic and quasi-periodic solutions persist under sufficiently small Hamiltonian perturbations. The pertinent nondegeneracy conditions are verified by calculating the first few Birkhoff normal form terms -- an essentially elementary calculation.
What makes the Platinum mathematics course unique? Activities are
stimulating and link to real life; separate mental maths section
(grade 7 teacher's guide) and answer section (grade 8 & 9
learner's book); challenge and Did you know features will stimulate
learner engagement; the text is suitable for South African learners
in diverse school contexts; use of colour enhances the easy
understanding of the text. Platinum - simply superior: Superior
CAPS coverage and written by expert authors; superior illustrations
and activities to improve results and motivate learners; superior
teacher support to save time and make teaching easy, including
photocopiable worksheets; superior quality = exam success!
Note that the Floris Books editions of Jamie York's books have been
completely revised for UK and European notation, language and
metric systems. They are also suitable for use in South Africa,
Australia and New Zealand. Experienced maths teacher and consultant
Jamie York believes that a love of learning comes through the
teacher, so his books are committed to supporting teachers in
developing their classroom skills and to fostering a love of maths
in their students. Unlike conventional maths textbooks, his books
are not full of fancy graphics and contrived ways to make maths
fun. Rather, they: -- focus on the essentials, so teachers aren't
overwhelmed by endless lists of required materials -- are genuinely
interesting and challenging, sparking students' enthusiasm for
learning maths -- are developmentally appropriate to the age of the
child, thereby encouraging inner mathemetical awareness and
thinking -- favour depth over superficiality, to avoid teaching
blind procedures to solve meaningless problems. This student's
workbook for Class 7 contains practice questions, with room for
working, on all the topics a student needs to cover in
Steiner-Waldorf Class 7 (age 13-14). The book includes: Arithmetic
review topics from previous years. New topics for Class 7:
measurement, percents, ratios, rates, geometry, algebra, the square
root algorithm. Mental maths: it is as important as ever for
children to develop the ability to do calculations in their head.
Each worksheet therefore begins with a secion on mental maths,
focusing on one of our areas described in the Teacher's Source Book
(available separately). Note that this workbook is also available
in a pack of ten with a teacher's answer booklet.
Offering a proven, high-quality, step-by-step approach that builds
students' confidence, these texts give your students the rigorous
practice they need to get better results in the two-tier exams.
Clearly organised, easy-to-use and carefully structured main texts
provide thorough preparation for students on either a 1-year or
2-year course with clear, student-friendly language used throughout
Fully worked examples with explanatory notes and commentary
followed by carefully graded exercises offer gradual progression
Exam and exam-style questions, presented in non-calculator and
calculator section reviews, give further opportunities to
consolidate skills acquired over a number of chapters Further
compilations of exam and exam-style questions, which reflect how
the examiners will assess the two-tier specifications are provided
to give thorough preparation for the exams.
Heinemann Active Maths' bright and lively Pupil Books have been

independent practice. They are closely linked to the Teacher
Activity Cards and each Heinemann Active Maths outcome. Each Pupil
Book contains: 'I can...' statements to encourage self-assessment.
'Rocket' questions to extend and challenge children's learning.
Teacher Activity Card references so you know which card the Pupil
Book pages link to. * This component forms part of the First Level

Algebra is probably the most difficult aspect of mathematics to
teach successfully and it is widely viewed by pupils as "boring"
and "pointless". Nonetheless, it provides the key to the great
power and potential interest of mathematics. At a time when much is
being done to improve children's understanding of number, algebra
teaching is too often characterized by ineffective rote learning
approaches with little heed being taken of research findings and
the potential of technology. This authoritative book shows a way
forward.
Developed directly with the IB to be fully integrated with the
revised MYP Mathematics framework, for first teaching in 2020. This

Standard resource, providing opportunities to master more advanced
mathematical concepts and skills, and laying the foundations for
Higher Level Mathematics at IB Diploma. The inquiry-led,
concept-based approach combined with links to global contexts
equips learners to acquire and practice essential knowledge and
skills while exploring the wider applications of mathematics. Fully
comprehensive, the resource addresses all the topics suggested in
the MYP Extended Mathematics Skills Framework, including the
enrichment topics.

THE book for elementary education mathematics content courses!
Designed to help prospective teachers of elementary school
mathematics learn content beyond the rote level, this text
stimulates readers to think beyond just getting the problem right
and fosters their development into thoughtful, reflective,
self-motivated, life-long learners. It stresses the what and why of
elementary school mathematics content. Hints are provided about how
to teach the content but this is mostly left to courses and texts
that are dedicated to that purpose. The text is organized around
the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics' Principles and
Standards for School Mathematics. The Standards dictate the basic
sections of the text. Within each section, appropriate specific
topics are developed, intertwined with technology, problem solving,
assessment, equity issues, planning, teaching skills, use of
manipulatives, sequencing, and much more. In addition, major focal
points of the Standards are emphasized throughout: effective
teachers of mathematics should be able to motivate all students to
learn, should understand the developmental levels of how children
learn, should concentrate on what children need to become active
participants in the learning environment, and should be engaged in
ongoing investigations of new mathematical concepts and teaching
strategies. Mathematics Content for Elementary Teachers is based on
several fundamental premises: *The focus of mathematics education
should be on the process, not the answer. *Elementary teachers
should know the mathematics content they are teaching, know more
than the content they are teaching, and teach from the overflow of
knowledge. *It is important for teachers to be flexible in allowing
students to use different procedures--teaching from the "overflow
of knowledge" implies knowing how to do a given operation more than
one way and being willing to examine many different ways. *Teachers
need to learn to carefully cover the topics to be taught, to
reflect upon them, and to be able to organize them. To help
prospective elementary teachers concentrate on the mathematics
content they will be expected to teach and begin to build the
foundation for the methods they will use, this text includes only
elementary mathematics content and does not address middle school
concepts. Pedagogical features: *The text is organized according to
NCTM Standards. *An informal writing style speaks directly to
readers and is geared to pre-service teachers. *Focus is given to
multiple methods of problem solving at four developmental levels.
*Questions, exercises, and activities are interspersed throughout
each section rather than gathered at the end of each chapter.
*Complete solutions for exercises are provided.
