Richard Askey
Richard "Dick" Allen Askeyis an American mathematician, known for his expertise in the area of special functions. The Askey–Wilson polynomialsare on the top level of the-Askey scheme, which organizes orthogonal polynomials ofhypergeometric type into a hierarchy. The Askey–Gasper inequality for Jacobi polynomials is essential in de Brange's famous proof of the Bieberbach conjecture...
Richard Askey quotes about
books books-and-reading good learn singapore
The Singapore books are good enough, so that when you've been in them a while, you can learn this.
elementary exactly japanese possible schools
It's possible to do it in other ways. Japanese elementary schools are not exactly the same as the Singapore, and they're done carefully.
educate teachers
The first thing we need to do is educate our prospective teachers much better.
education views skills
Like a stool which needs three legs to be stable, mathematics education needs three components: good problems, with many of them being multi-step ones, a lot of technical skill, and then a broader view which contains the abstract nature of mathematics and proofs. One does not get all of these at once, but a good mathematics program has them as goals and makes incremental steps toward them at all levels.
nice reason-why mathematics
If things are nice there is probably a good reason why they are nice: and if you do not know at least one reason for this good fortune, then you still have work to do.
