Learning Activities from the History of Mathematics
Frank J. Swetz
For teachers interested in incorporating the history of mathematics into classroom instruction, this book can serve as a guide, use, and modify as the situation demands. To begin, it offers biographies of twenty-three important mathematicians spanning many centuries and cultures. A section describes the history of mathematical words, and then moves to sections featuring historical problems like medieval multiplication methods and Pascal's triangle. The classroom activities section offers twenty-one exercises accompanied by brief explanations for teachers, objectives, and list of materials needed. "One picture is worth" explores video and graphic materials, while the whole of the final chapter is a detailed bibliography, with special attention paid to biographical materials, women in mathematics, and special topics
