Book Description
Secondary school math teachers in several states are required to successfully pass state exams in Algebra. Often, these exams require a wide spectrum of knowledge ranging from high school Algebra to Abstract Algebra. The book, "Advanced Algebra for Teachers," is uniquely designed to cover this variety of topics in a user friendly manner. It is currently used by secondary school teachers in California who are training for the Algebra subtest of the CSET exam, but the text should be ideally suited for schoolteachers nationwide hoping to acquire a similar body of knowledge. The topics are presented through worked out examples, in the simplest language possible. Consequently these concepts can be introduced to readers who may not be the traditional audience for this type of content. Another salient feature of the book is that the examples and exercise sets cover skill levels from basic concepts to more difficult problems gently exposing the reader to the intensity present in most certification exams. In more practical terms, the text assists the practicing teacher with a critical overview of a comprehensive algebra curricular from basic algebra to abstract algebra. Dr. Kirthi Premadasa (PhD., Purdue University) is an Assistant Professor in the Mathematics Department at University of Wisconsin Marathon County. Dr. Premadasa has more than seventeen years of mathematics teaching and has taught the entire spectrum of undergraduate algebra. His current research is in undergraduate mathematics education with an emphasis on student bottlenecks in solving algebra word problems and integration applications. He was one of the two Wisconsin Teaching Fellows selected from all thirteen campuses of the UW Colleges in all disciplines in 2010. Dr. Rajee Amarasinghe (Ph.D., Indiana University) is an Associate Professor in the Mathematics Department at California State University, Fresno where he teaches mathematics classes for perspective elementary and secondary school teachers. Also, he directs and conducts local and international professional development workshops for mathematics teachers. Dr. Oscar Vega is an Assistant Professor in the mathematics department at California State University, Fresno. He received his PhD in Mathematics in 2006 from the University of Iowa.

Book Description
Basic Algebra and Advanced Algebra systematically develop concepts and tools in algebra that are vital to every mathematician, whether pure or applied, aspiring or established. Advanced Algebra includes chapters on modern algebra which treat various topics in commutative and noncommutative algebra and provide introductions to the theory of associative algebras, homological algebras, algebraic number theory, and algebraic geometry. Many examples and hundreds of problems are included, along with hints or complete solutions for most of the problems. Together the two books give the reader a global view of algebra and its role in mathematics as a whole.

Book Description
A New York Times–bestselling author looks at mathematics education in America—when it’s worthwhile, and when it’s not. Why do we inflict a full menu of mathematics—algebra, geometry, trigonometry, even calculus—on all young Americans, regardless of their interests or aptitudes? While Andrew Hacker has been a professor of mathematics himself, and extols the glories of the subject, he also questions some widely held assumptions in this thought-provoking and practical-minded book. Does advanced math really broaden our minds? Is mastery of azimuths and asymptotes needed for success in most jobs? Should the entire Common Core syllabus be required of every student? Hacker worries that our nation’s current frenzied emphasis on STEM is diverting attention from other pursuits and even subverting the spirit of the country. Here, he shows how mandating math for everyone prevents other talents from being developed and acts as an irrational barrier to graduation and careers. He proposes alternatives, including teaching facility with figures, quantitative reasoning, and understanding statistics. Expanding upon the author’s viral New York Times op-ed, The Math Myth is sure to spark a heated and needed national conversation—not just about mathematics but about the kind of people and society we want to be. “Hacker’s accessible arguments offer plenty to think about and should serve as a clarion call to students, parents, and educators who decry the one-size-fits-all approach to schooling.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
