The David Crighton Medal is an award given by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) in the UK to recognize outstanding contributions in the field of applied mathematics. It is named in honor of David Crighton, a prominent figure in applied mathematics and a former president of the IMA. The medal is awarded to individuals or groups whose work significantly impacts the application of mathematics in various fields.
The SASTRA Ramanujan Prize is awarded annually to a young mathematician in recognition of their outstanding contributions to mathematical research, particularly in areas that were influenced by the work of the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan. The prize was established in 2005 by SASTRA University in India, and it aims to honor Ramanujan's legacy by encouraging young mathematicians.
The Wolf Prize in Mathematics is an international award presented annually by the Wolf Foundation in Israel. It was established in 1978 and is one of the most prestigious awards in the field of mathematics, alongside the Fields Medal and the Clay Millennium Prizes. The prize recognizes outstanding achievements in mathematics and is awarded to individuals who have made significant contributions to the field.
Mathematics education can vary significantly from one country to another, influenced by cultural, economic, technological, and pedagogical factors. Here are some insights on mathematics education in various countries: ### United States - **Curriculum:** In the U.S., math education typically includes foundational courses in elementary mathematics, followed by middle school courses like pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry. High school students often take calculus, statistics, and advanced math courses.
Statistics education is the field of study and practice that focuses on the teaching and learning of statistics. It encompasses a wide range of activities, including the development of curricula, teaching methods, assessment techniques, and educational resources aimed at helping students understand and apply statistical concepts and methods. Key components of statistics education include: 1. **Conceptual Understanding**: Helping students grasp foundational concepts in statistics, such as variability, distributions, measures of central tendency, and inferential statistics.
Miniature model-makers are artisans or hobbyists who create scaled-down replicas of objects, scenes, or structures. This craft can include a wide range of subjects, such as buildings, vehicles, figures, and landscapes. Miniature model-making can be pursued for various purposes, including art, display, education, and entertainment. There are several aspects to miniature model-making: 1. **Materials**: Model-makers often use various materials, including wood, plastic, metal, and resin.
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.
