Making Mathematics: Mathematics Research Teacher Handbook This book provides activities and lots of advice about working on problems. A thoroughresource for your students who are curious about fractals and chaos. http://www2.edc.org/makingmath/handbook/Teacher/Resources/Resources.asp
Extractions: Home Support for Teachers RESOURCES Teachers and students engaged in research need ready access to mathematics resources. An investigation may take us into areas of mathematics that are not entirely familiar. When it does, we need to read up on the topic and learn enough to determine if the ideas might be of use in our work. For example, a student in a mathematics research seminar investigated peg solitaire games. He found several journal articles about these games that used methods based on group theory. In order to understand and apply the ideas from the published literature, he needed to find out how groups were defined and what their basic properties were. He was then able to adapt the methods of earlier researchers to his particular problems. As the above example suggests, it is neither possible nor advisable for students to have to rediscover, and make sense of, all mathematics on their own. They do need to recognize when learning new content might be helpful and how to obtain and use the resources that are available (see Getting Information ). As students apply the results that they encounter in their readings or that their peers produce, they come to recognize the cumulative and communal nature of mathematics. Interesting mathematics is almost always the product of building on the work of others.

UNDERSTANDING COMPLEX SYSTEMS from industry, should stimulate crossdisciplinary research activities. as non-lineardynamics and chaos, renormalization, fractals, neural nets http://www.howhy.com/ucs/
Extractions: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign The symposium, which will bring together researchers from many academic disciplines and from industry, should stimulate cross-disciplinary research activities. A small group of distinguished invited speakers will review the field of complex systems research. The organizers will provide information about funding opportunities for complex systems research and promote linkages for interdisciplinary proposals. Themes: - Common features of emergent structures in open multivariant systems, such as earth quakes, turbulence, lightning, and information flow on the internet. - Development of novel mathematical tools for modeling, prediction, and control, such as non-linear dynamics and chaos, renormalization, fractals, neural nets, cellular automata, genetic algorithms, and artifical life. - Design of simple and robust physical systems that can self-assemble, self-repair, and understand their environment.

Extractions: Mathematics Consulting Services Rare is the student who is not fascinated by the beauty of fractals, or the teacher who is not captivated by the surprises of chaos. Multiple media will be used to illustrate the interplay between fractals and chaos, and their connection with mathematics and our world. Monica Neagoy was educated in France, Asia and the U.S. with her Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Maryland. Her exposure to many cultures, her mastery of several languages, and her professional involvement in both the arts and sciences give her a unique perspective on the learning and teaching of mathematics. She is a national mathematics consultant (ie., The Annenburg/CPB Channel, The American Association for the Advancement of Science, PBS) and the head judge for MATHCOUNTS organization. Since 1985, she has worked with in-service teachers independently and through Georgetown University. She is also a professional actor and is the artistic co-director of the professional LE NEON Theater in Washington, D.C. This will be an exciting evening with Monica Neagoy on March 9, 2001.

Best Regards, Hello from the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse! I've been very impressed with your applets for generating fractals, especially with how suited they are to understanding the material. Your site is one of the selected few that enter the ENC collection of K-12 math and science sites. Continued good luck in your work!

Extractions: I think, most people agree that it is more difficult to be a teacher nowadays. The children do not respect the teachers as we did. Besides, there are more temptations which distract the concentration of the children. After all, people think that study is not so important because even the university graduates cannot get a satisfactory job. They believe, education cannot secure our living anymore. Facing so many difficulties in this field, teachers need support to strenghten/keep their faith in the career. I remembered, when I left the old schhol, one colleagues told me "we are still teaching because we have hope. Once the hope is lost, you will not want to teach anymore."
