Languages : en
Pages : 98

Book Description
Academic Reading Circles is a teacher-resource book for a learner-centred reading skills approach. It explains and exemplifies an intensive reading approach aimed at improving learner engagement with and understanding of concepts in non-fiction texts, like those encountered in undergraduate courses. This approach combines individual investigation with collaborative construction of knowledge through group sharing and discussion. In the book, teachers are guided through an entire ARC cycle, including: *the initial introduction of ARC to learners; *the five ARC roles learners undertake when reading a text; *detailed examples of their use on a sample text; *solutions for groupings, assessment, and potential problem areas; and *downloadable activities to further facilitate ARC beyond this book. Academic Reading Circles is ideal for teacher use in pre-sessional or in-sessional EAP programs at the university level. Secondary and general ESL/EFL teachers may also benefit. The book is published with the round.

Geometry: The Line and the Circle

Author: Maureen T. Carroll
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470448432
Category : Geometry
Languages : en
Pages : 480

Book Description
Geometry: The Line and the Circle is an undergraduate text with a strong narrative that is written at the appropriate level of rigor for an upper-level survey or axiomatic course in geometry. Starting with Euclid's Elements, the book connects topics in Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry in an intentional and meaningful way, with historical context. The line and the circle are the principal characters driving the narrative. In every geometry considered—which include spherical, hyperbolic, and taxicab, as well as finite affine and projective geometries—these two objects are analyzed and highlighted. Along the way, the reader contemplates fundamental questions such as: What is a straight line? What does parallel mean? What is distance? What is area? There is a strong focus on axiomatic structures throughout the text. While Euclid is a constant inspiration and the Elements is repeatedly revisited with substantial coverage of Books I, II, III, IV, and VI, non-Euclidean geometries are introduced very early to give the reader perspective on questions of axiomatics. Rounding out the thorough coverage of axiomatics are concluding chapters on transformations and constructibility. The book is compulsively readable with great attention paid to the historical narrative and hundreds of attractive problems.
