It's good to hear not all the proofs have been taken out. I'll probably look for a 2nd edition before I look at the newest one. What is the consensus on this book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/071672426X/?tag=pfamazon01-20 and would it have material that would be suitable for grades 7-10?

wow, proofs omitted from a geometry text seems like sacrilege. However, I would actually only need two copies of the textbook so it may be feasible to try to find the 2nd edition.

This is great. Thank you, yeongil, the list of the big suppliers is very much appreciated. You mentioned Jacobs Algebra book as a top choice for home schoolers. This book also came up in the link Howers posted. Is Jacobs geometry text, Geometry: Seeing, Doing, Understanding just as popular...

Thank you, qntty. How do you like using this series of textbooks? Also, how would you rate your own ability as a student and your relative interest in mathematics? Thank you very much, Tobias. Do you know if the texts by Martin-Gay are standard nationwide or not? If not, do you know if there...

This question is aimed primarily towards educators teaching math to grades 7-10. I am a math major doing some research in math education for a summer project I am working on. What are some of the standard texts currently in use for the subjects of pre-algebra, algebra 1, and geometry? Also, what...

I think I'll stick with Michael Artin's book and reference Dummit and Foote for now and check out Emil Artin's book after I have a good feel for the subject. Thanks. Are you talking about the preface? I'm reading, "This book is intended to serve as a text for the course in analysis that is...

Thank you for the recommendation. Do you know if Michael Artin's father's book on Galois Theory is worth taking a look at?

Thank you very much for the recommendations. I suppose I will work on learning more C and check out those links.

What are the best resources for self studying Galois Theory?

I was wondering, what types of programming languages are used in the field of Cryptography? I'm a math major with a working knowledge of C/C++, Java, and Python. Would it be worthwhile to learn some assembly languages? Should I learn more high level languages? Or, should I hone my skills in the...

Would Spivak's Calculus on Manifolds be a good reference text for a undergraduate course on multivariable analysis?

Euclidean algorithm, I believe, goes like this: let f, g be polynomials in F[x] such that g does not equal 0. Then there exists uniquely determined polynomials q and r such that f = qg + r and r = 0 or deg r < deg gMathwonk, is this what is known as the primary decomposition theorem?

That's just the nature of the game, my friend. After my last real analysis I've noticed a sharp decrease in attendance. I had one friend drop out of the math program and switch to economics, and I have a friend majoring in physics who withdrew from all his physics classes a week ago. Both from...

I agree with that statement. It is important to have an appreciation for the applications of mathematics and I do. However, I am also someone who finds magic graphs to be interesting. In Crosson's first statement, he made it seem that if the maths doesn't have an obvious application, then it...

Try the book Magic Graphs by W.D. Wallis. On page 13 it talks about an application of edge-magic total labelings in efficient addressing systems of communications networks. I read an article not to long ago about an application towards secret sharing schemes in cryptography. Also, if you search...
