Designed for precollege teachers by a collaborative of teachers,
educators, and mathematicians, Applications of Algebra and Geometry
to the Work of Teaching is based on a course offered in the Summer
School Teacher Program at the Park City Mathematics Institute. But
this book isn't a ``course'' in the traditional sense. It consists
of a carefully sequenced collection of problem sets designed to
develop several interconnected mathematical themes, and one of the
goals of the problem sets is for readers to uncover these themes
for themselves. The specific theme developed in Applications of
Algebra and Geometry to the Work of Teaching is the use of complex
numbers-especially the arithmetic of Gaussian and Eisenstein
integers-to investigate some questions that are at the intersection
of algebra and geometry, like the classification of Pythagorean
triples and the number of representations of an integer as the sum
of two squares. Applications of Algebra and Geometry to the Work of
Teaching is a volume of the book series IAS/PCMI-The Teacher
Program Series published by the American Mathematical Society. Each
volume in that series covers the content of one Summer School
Teacher Program year and is independent of the rest.
