{"product_id":"9789814603713","title":"Number Treasury3: Investigations, Facts and Conjectures about More than 100 Number Families","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis resource volume is an enlargement as well as an update of the previous edition. The book aims to introduce the reader to over 100 different families of positive integers. A brief historical note accompanies the descriptions and examples of several of the families together with a mix of routine exercises and problems as well as some thought provokers to solve. \u003ci\u003eNumber Treasury\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e especially aims to stimulate further study beyond the scope of the introductory treatment given in the book. The emphasis in \u003ci\u003eNumber Treasury\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e is on doing not proving. However, the reader is directed to think critically about situations, to provide explanations, to make generalizations, and to formulate conjectures. To engage the reader from the start, the book begins with a set of rich Investigations. These are standalone activities that represent each of the chapters of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Perfect Number of Investigations 28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumbers Based on Divisors and Proper Divisors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlane Figurate Numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Figurate Numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore Prime Connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital Patterns and Noteworthy Numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore Patterns and Other Interesting Numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Secondary and intermediate classroom teacher and tertiary mathematics education instructor; undergraduates whose interest is in teaching mathematics at the pre-tertiary level and the segment of the general public for whom mathematics might be a hobby. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiffers from other books that treat numbers (formally or informally) because it contains numerous exercises and problems, detailed examples for the reader to follow, and the narrative is kept to a minimum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHas broad appeal for different audiences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs a gateway to families of positive integers which leads and encourages the reader to go beyond the book to deeper study of the topics presented\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185299046640,"sku":"9789814603713","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814603713_p0.jpg?v=1763691087","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814603713","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
