Mathematische Begabung in den Jahrgangsstufen 9 und 10: Ein theoretischer und empirischer Beitrag zur Modellierung und Diagnostik (Studien zur theoretischen und empirischen Forschung in der Mathematikdidaktik)
by Moritz ZehnderInternationale Vergleichsstudien deuten darauf hin, dass eine Förderung mathematisch besonders begabter Schüler*innen nicht immer optimal gelingt; eine mögliche Ursache dafür können Schwierigkeiten bei ihrer Identifikation sein. Moritz Zehnder untersucht in der vorliegenden Arbeit daher, welche mathematischen Fähigkeiten Indikatoren für eine besondere mathematische Begabung in den Jahrgangsstufen 9 und 10 darstellen. Im Anschluss an eine Klärung des Begabungsbegriffs leitet er fünf potenziell auf eine besondere mathematische Begabung hinweisende Fähigkeiten ab, deren Eignung als Indikatoren im Rahmen einer nicht experimentellen Studie untersucht wird. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass unter anderem dem Erkennen von Mustern und Strukturen eine besondere Bedeutung für eine mathematische Begabung in den Jahrgangsstufen 9 und 10 zukommt. Andere Fähigkeiten, wie etwa mathematische Kreativität, ermöglichen lediglich eine Unterscheidung von Begabungstypen. Ein weiteres zentrales Ergebnis dieser Arbeit ist ein Diagnoseinstrument für mathematische Begabung, das Mathematiklehrkräfte beim Diagnostizieren mathematisch begabter Schüler*innen unterstützen kann.

The Mathematics of the Gods and the Algorithms of Men: A Cultural History
by Paolo ZelliniA masterful cultural history of mathematics from bestselling Italian mathematician and philosopher Paolo Zellini.Is mathematics a discovery or an invention? Have we invented numbers or do they truly exist? What sort of reality should we attribute to them? Mathematics has always been a way of understanding and ordering the world: from sacred ancient texts and pre-Socratic philosophers to twentieth-century logicians such as Russell and Frege and beyond. In this masterful, elegant book, mathematician and philosopher Paolo Zellini offers a brief cultural and intellectual history of mathematics, from ancient Greece to India to our contemporary obsession with algorithms, showing how mathematical thinking is inextricably linked with philosophical, existential and religious questions—and indeed with our cosmic understanding of the world.
Applied Linear Models with SAS
by Daniel ZeltermanThis textbook for a second course in basic statistics for undergraduates or first-year graduate students introduces linear regression models and describes other linear models including Poisson regression, logistic regression, proportional hazards regression, and nonparametric regression. Numerous examples drawn from the news and current events with an emphasis on health issues illustrate these concepts. Assuming only a pre-calculus background, the author keeps equations to a minimum and demonstrates all computations using SAS. Most of the programs and output are displayed in a self-contained way, with an emphasis on the interpretation of the output in terms of how it relates to the motivating example. Plenty of exercises conclude every chapter. All of the datasets and SAS programs are available from the book's website, along with other ancillary material.
