The Magic of Mathematics
The following article details my love of mathematics and why I call mathematics "magical". In short, there are two sides of the Tao of Life, if you will, that we must keep in balance. On one side, we have reading and writing skills, that allow us to communicate with others. Very important, indeed. Yet, on the other side, we have mathematical skills which are the essence of logical analysis and decision-making skills that pertain to numbers and figures and charts and data.

Calculus: The Science of Fluxions
The science of fluxions was Sir Isaac Newton's terminology for the new field of science known today as calculus. Newton and German mathematician Leibnitz appear to have discovered the principles of calculus in about the same time; but Leibnitz published his work first. For years, there was friction between the two countries, England and Germany regarding which country was to take credit for the discovery of calculus.
Learning Math and Loving It with Manipulatives and Games

Algebra for Beginners - Tips To Become An Algebra Star
Many people are kind of weak in the area of algebra mathematics. A lot of them read books, attend lessons and research the web to find information, interactive lessons and websites that could help them improve their algebra skills. Interactive learning (e.g. online courses) is far more fun and entertaining than reading algebra books. But can interactive learning alone help you become an algebra star?
Helping Parents to Build Mathematicians
Real math has almost nothing to do with what is taught in schools. Far too much time is spent teaching children numeracy when they should be learning mathematics. Children are bored by repetitive lessons that turn them off and stop them from acquiring the real mathematical thinking skills that will set them up for the rest of their lives. However a teacher from Worcestershire is bucking this trend, and helping parent to build the mathematicians of the future.
Teach Your Kids Algebra: The Quadratic Formula
When I first saw the quadratic formula, I was amazed that there existed such a thing no less a way to derive this elegant formula. For those who remember, this formula gives a sure-fire way of getting the solution to those things we call quadratic, or second-degree equations, in mathematics. For many students, this formula is a nightmare of grand proportions and its mastery seems no more probable than striking it rich with the lottery. However, with some novel techniques and some different approaches, the mastery of this formula—which provides a linchpin to understanding algebra on a deeper level—becomes a walk in the park.
Algebracadabra - Math Shortcuts to Algebra Mastery
Probably the most important fundamental branch of mathematics is algebra. No matter what anyone tells you folks, if your kid is not good at algebra, there is no shot that he will excel in any of the higher branches. In fact, the famous calculus is really a form of "glorified" algebra and this is what I used to tell my high school students all the time. Therefore, if you want your kids to have a chance to study and enter the beautifully intellectual realm of the calculus, then be sure that they have the tools to master algebra.
Hey, Who Said You Couldn't Do Math? - It's All in Your Head
So you think you can't do math, huh? Well, what if I told you that without even an algebra background I could teach you some calculus right here and now? You don't believe me. I thought so.

Do Your Kids a Favor - Take Away the Calculator
The kids of today are so different from those of only a generation ago. Heck. I'm quite computer literate and am pretty good with electronic gadgets, but I can't even place a close second to my two kids' ability with video games and other technological toys. Yet this ability with gadgets has placed our children at a disadvantage as well. You see. They have come to lean too heavily on the electronic calculator, and this dependency has severely weakened their ability in math.

Is Math Worth the Sacrifice
For ages and ages, the question has been "Is there any necessity to learn mathematics? I'll never use it in the practical world. My desire is to be a fireman or a cowboy or a news reporter and they don't need to know what a number is. Technological progress makes it even more difficult.

Where to Find Immediate Math Help
Math is not easy for me. It takes me a lot of brain power to understand and learn math. Math education was not my strong point either. It took me extra hours, tutoring and lots of math games to help me learn math. I'm talking about high school math. You know geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and the like. More than that, I remember having to sit for long hours trying to figure out how to study or do my math homework without my dad's help. I would get Math Anxiety, and my palms would sweat and my heart would flutter and I would write, erase, write, erase and the list goes on.

This strong aversion is originated in the fear of failing, which sets the alarms and creates an state of constant agitation.
