Featured Book:

Understanding Analysis (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)

Review (on Amazon.com):
Once in a while, a book comes along that is so wonderfully written, the reader reflexively searches for other books by its author. Understanding Analysis is a prime example of this rare breed (Unfortunately, this is Abbott's only book as far as I know: write more!).

Undergraduates often begin analysis courses with dread and finish in a state of utter confusion,knowing the definitions of key phrases, and sometimes even being able to supply proofs for some elementary results, but having no intution as to why the main theorems are pertinent.

Ans:
It differs from school to school, HCI teaches the topics in the following order below. The order may be different for different schools, though. Some topics definitely have to be taught first, for instance Differentiation is taught first before Integration almost all the time. After these two are taught, then students can move on to learn Maclaurin Series and Differential Equations.

Dragon Curve and Jurassic Park!

Here are two fantastic videos about the Dragon Curve from Numberphile!

The Dragon Curve is a little known fractal that is very beautiful and mysterious. It can be obtained by simply folding a piece of paper!

This video very aptly and clearly describes the Dragon Curve, which can be found in the book of Jurassic Park. (Many people have watched Jurassic Park, but few have read the book, hence the Dragon Curve is unknown to many.)

Legendary Computer Scientist Don Knuth introduces his beautiful "Dragon Curve" sculpture in his home. And also a moral to be learnt: It's ok to make mistakes, just learn from them! "Err and err and err again, but less and less and less." — Piet Hein. How is this quote of wisdom related to the Dragon Curve? Watch the video to find out!

Lastly, just a sneak peek of the upcoming Jurassic World Official Trailer! Jurassic World will be released in 3D by Universal Pictures on June 12, 2015. Excited?

Free Calendar Template for Tuition / School

Are you looking for a Weekly Timetable Template for School / Tuition?

You can download it here: https://mathtuition88.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/weekly-schedule-sunday-to-saturday.pdf

I have chosen the most suitable calendar template from www.calendarpedia.com for Singaporean students to use. I personally use this template to track my tuition schedule too.

Preview: (You are recommended to download the PDF link for greater resolution.)

Nowadays students have a lot of tuition (especially those taking a lot of subjects), hence it may be good to use this calendar to keep track of which tuition is on which day, to avoid confusion. Hope this calendar helps!

This calendar is best used for events that repeat weekly at exactly the same time, e.g. tuition, CCA, swimming lessons, piano lessons, etc.

Maths Tuition for Private Candidates

Maths Tuition for Private Candidates / University Students

I am providing Maths Tuition for Private Candidates who wish to retake their O Levels or A Levels. Also can teach mathematical topics at the undergraduate level, for example Engineering Maths.

Please visit http://mathtuition88.com/ for more details!

You can also email me at mathtuition88@gmail.com.

Timeslots

• Weekdays 11am-1pm

I can most likely teach during weekdays (Mon-Fri) 11am-1pm since most of my tuition students are in school. Do message me to check the available timeslots, thanks!

Students can choose either once a week, or multiple times a week tuition. (Depending on their mathematical foundation.)

Start early for best results

Math is a subject that requires practice, and also time for the concepts to get absorbed. Last minute cramming is unlikely to be of help if the foundation is weak. Hence, starting tuition early would be the best strategy.

The plan will be to get to the level of being able to do past year papers as soon as possible. Then, we will work through past year papers (and prelims if time permits), which is an incredible strategy to practicing O Level Maths / A Level Maths since the questions that will come out will be similar in nature. A student who has done the full Ten Year Series, and is familiar with it, has an overwhelming advantage over someone who hasn't. This is simply due to the fact that some questions will be repeated. (Not exactly, of course, but similar)

Tutoring Scam that targets Tutors

Today I received an email, that is very highly likely to be a scam. According to this website (https://drsaraheaton.wordpress.com/2014/03/12/tutoring-scam-targets-teachers/), another tutor (from Canada) has received the same email. The scam targets teachers (even martial arts teachers from this forum). So beware! The modus operandi seems to be sending a counterfeit cheque with excess value, and asking the tutor to send the "balance" back. Details of email:
