This official Math Kangaroo book for 3rd and 4th grade students contains 312 entertaining problems and solutions from actual the Math Kangaroo Competition odd years, spanning 1999-2023, for a total of 13 tests. Each test consists of 24 questions divided into color-coded easy, medium, and difficult categories. The Math Kangaroo Competition is internationally recognized and takes place in over 100 countries worldwide with 6 million students participating. The competition is held once a year, always on the third Thursday in March, for any student in grades 1 to 12.

Help children of all learning styles and strengths improve their critical thinking skills with these creative, cross-curricular activities. Each engaging activity focuses on skills such as recognizing and recalling, evaluating, and analyzing.

A companion series to our "Competitive Mathematics for Gifted Students," the series "Math Challenges for Gifted Students" offers additional material in practice test form. The workbooks are useful for assessment and for development of testing skills. In full color and with fully detailed solutions, the workbooks may be used as a fun introduction to competitive problem solving. However, the problems are a bit more difficult than actual Kangaroo problems, exploring a large number of known 'tips and tricks.' One could say it is much more concentrated in that, unlike actual exams, it has less 'filler' - almost every problem is 'tricky' and embodies a specific strategy. The material is excellent for training purposes and has been used by the authors in seminars with hundreds of the most gifted students in the Bay Area. The workbook contains six 24-question tests. After each test there is an answer key. The tests are followed by detailed solutions. The recommended time limit for each test is of 75 minutes. Students who have not been exposed to competitive problem solving will find this book extremely difficult and will need help from an adult. Without preparation, students who get 'A' in school generally score about 50 points out of 96 possible on Kangaroo level 1-2.

The workbooks are useful for assessment and for development of testing skills. In full color and with fully explained solutions, the workbooks may be used as a fun introduction to problem solving. The workbook contains six 30-question tests. After each test, there is an answer key. The tests are followed by detailed solutions that outline various problem solving strategies appropriate for the respective age. The recommended time limit for each test is of 75 minutes.

A comprehensive and rigorous introduction for graduate students and researchers, with applications in sequential decision-making problems.

Bond and Keane explicate the elements of logical, mathematical argument to elucidate the meaning and importance of mathematical rigor. With definitions of concepts at their disposal, students learn the rules of logical inference, read and understand proofs of theorems, and write their own proofs all while becoming familiar with the grammar of mathematics and its style. In addition, they will develop an appreciation of the different methods of proof (contradiction, induction), the value of a proof, and the beauty of an elegant argument. The authors emphasize that mathematics is an ongoing, vibrant disciplineits long, fascinating history continually intersects with territory still uncharted and questions still in need of answers. The authors extensive background in teaching mathematics shines through in this balanced, explicit, and engaging text, designed as a primer for higher- level mathematics courses. They elegantly demonstrate process and application and recognize the byproducts of both the achievements and the missteps of past thinkers. Chapters 1-5 introduce the fundamentals of abstract mathematics and chapters 6-8 apply the ideas and techniques, placing the earlier material in a real context. Readers interest is continually piqued by the use of clear explanations, practical examples, discussion and discovery exercises, and historical comments.

This comprehensive introduction to probability and statistics will give you the solid grounding you need no matter what your engineering specialty. Through the use of lively and realistic examples, the author helps you go beyond simply learning about statistics to actually putting the statistical methods to use. Rather than focus on rigorous mathematical development and potentially overwhelming derivations, the book emphasizes concepts, models, methodology, and applications that facilitate your understanding.
