Bio
It has been my drug, my meditation, my weapon and my best friend. It fed and dressed me, led to travel, men, lavish parties and even Cuban cigars. It has placed my name on a movie screen, put my work in museums and allowed me to manipulate things deep inside the human brain. It is called Math.

Math advice for paranoid aliens
August 6, 2010 70 Comments Geek Alert Hive Mind Story problems in math rarely overlap with story problems in screenwriting, but today I have one that I could use some help figuring out. Far away on a distant planet, an intelligent but very paranoid species is constructing a series of terrestrial watchtowers to scan the heavens, making sure no space-traveling enemies sneak up on them. You can think of these watchtowers as observatories, each one watching a 180-degree (half-sphere) swath of the sky. For this simplest version, you can ignore complications like atmospheric distortion or possible moons. Question #1: For complete coverage, what is the minimum number of watchtowers they need to build? Question #2: What would be a prudent number to build? If you want to introduce features like atmosphere or redundancy, go for it. Question #3: What is the minimum number of satellites needed? Question #4: How does the number change if the orbit radius is increased? If the field of view is increased?

Radical Math Advice
A friend on AOL's Christianity Online's Unschooling message board responded to a question of how one might unschool math, and what texts or resources can be used.
I enjoyed her reply so much that I asked her permission to use her post. Well, we're having wonderful math days here in our house, so I felt inclined to post about my view point concerning math resources. Now, lots of you have had your chance to post about your favorite math texts, can I take a turn to add some radical suggestions?
Here are some resources that my kids are currently working with:
Mathlab by TOPS. I'd suggest this for ages 12 and up. It has activities that you would find in Math: A Human Endeavor, just addresses them in project format. I'm looking forward to doing the last card in the book - it's all about how to decipher those postal bar codes.
How Math Works by Reader's Digest. I know I've mentioned this book before, but I just love it! My son and I are making projects from this book every morning.
I found a workbook on math last week at Barnes and Noble. The company that published it is American Education Publishing. Half of it is math, the other half is reading skills. We've just worked in the math section so far, but my son really likes this book. The odd numbered pages seem to be puzzle/code/workbook type pages, the even pages are hands-on activities and games to make and play to reinforce the skills on the previous page. Yesterday we made cards and played a concentration type game to match improper fractions with mixed numbers. Today's game used equivalent fraction conversion skills. My son has been reluctant to learn these concepts in the Key to books, but he quickly grasped what he needed to do to play these games! I was surprised at how much he likes this book. The title is Enrichment Math and Reading, we have the grades 5/6 book. It was only $12.95.

http://www.math.uga.edu/~curr/LowerDivision.html
GUIDE TO FRESHMAN and SOPHOMORE LEVEL MATHEMATICS COURSES AT UGA
Students should not consider themselves adequately prepared for a mathematics course unless they have earned grades of C or better in all prerequisite courses. The advice is broken down into the following sections:
  • For Non Science/Business Majors Precalculus Level Courses Calculus Options After Second Semester Calculus ... General Advice for Prospective Math Majors
  • Basic
    MATH 1101 (Mathematical Modeling): This course satisfies the Core A Mathematics requirement for students who will not continue to Precalculus and Calculus. Students will learn several ways to use mathematics to describe and explore real-world data and phenomena. WARNING: MATH 1101 will not prepare you for Precalculus, nor will it count in Core Area A if you are (or become) a Science major. If you think there is a chance you will be a Science major, you should take MATH 1113 instead.
    Precalculus Level
    MATH 1113 (Precalculus): This course is not intended to be a terminal mathematics course; it prepares students for the mainstream calculus courses. Exemption of or credit for MATH 1113 MATH 1060 (Mathematics of Decision Making): This course attempts to convey the flavor and variety of mathematics rather than develop skills to be used in later courses. It is usually taken by liberal arts majors. Occasionally, students who are considering majoring in mathematics use this course to get an overview of the subject.

    On requests for career advice Every so often, I receive a query asking for advice on mathematical career issues, such as
    • What fields in mathematics should one study? What mathematical texts should one buy or read? What problems should one try to solve? How should one approach mathematical problems? How should one write mathematical papers? What universities should one apply to?
    These requests for advice are of course very flattering. Because of this, and because of lack of available time, I am regretfully unable to meaningfully respond to any such queries. Regarding mathematics competitions : I have not participated in mathematics competitions since 1988, and am not familiar with how they work nowadays. For advice on how to solve mathematical problems, you can try my book on the subject (While individual steps in the solution might be able to be finished off quickly by someone with Olympiad training, the majority of the solution is likely to require instead the much more patient and lengthy process of reading the literature, applying known techniques, trying model problems or special cases, looking for counterexamples, and so forth.)
    Generic platitudes

    What is a proof?
    How do you write a two-column proof?
    Students often ask about proofs: what they are, how to understand them, and, often, how to write two-column proofs. Here are some answers from our archives:
    What are Proofs?

    I am a home school student through American schools, and am stuck in geometry. I do not understand proofs. Can you help me out?
      The study of geometry is the first place I encountered an axiom system. You start with certain "undefined objects," in this case "point," "line," "plane," "length," "area," "between," etc. Then you are given certain statements about them which you are to accept as true. These are called Postulates or Axioms. They appear in the very first part of your book on Plane Geometry. Examples might be...
    - Dr. Rob
    Thinking about Proofs

    How do you know what statement to write next when you're doing a proof? And what are the reasons that you use?
      Probably the most difficult part of proving something is where to start. It takes a lot of practice, and trial and error. Since you are more interested in the thought process than the solution, let me tell you what went through my mind as I solved your example...

    Learning Proofs

    I'm interested in learning how to do proofs. Can you recommend some good books on the different techniques used and how they are applied?
