Differential Equations
Models and Methods
Ang Keng Cheng
ISBN 9780071250856 • MHID 0071250859 • 2006 • Softcover • 224pp
Many books on differential equations assume that the reader has a fairly
sophisticated level of competence in calculus at the university level.
Differential Equations differs from them in that it enables a student with
some basic knowledge of calculus to learn about differential equations
and appreciate their applications. The focus of the book is on first
order differential equations, their methods of solution and their use in
mathematical models. Methods include analytic and graphical solutions,
as well as numerical techniques. Readers will not only learn the necessary
techniques of solving first order differential equations, but also how these
equations can be applied in different fields. Examples have been carefully
chosen to provide motivation for new concepts or techniques, and to
illustrate the importance of differential equations.
Teaching Primary School Mathematics
A Resource Book (2nd Edition)
Edited by Lee Peng Yee and Lee Ngan Hoe
ISBN 9780071268486 • MHID 0071268480 • 2008 • Softcover • 304pp
Teaching Primary School Mathematics presents discussions on the
syllabus and concepts, teaching approaches and ideas, common errors
and learning difficulties, as well as sample activities and test items. The
book is divided into two parts: Part I examines the Singapore curriculum
framework while Part II provides practical help on the teaching of specific
topics. Each chapter draws from the experience of various authors in this
volume, and is well researched, well written and easy to understand.
Teaching Secondary School Mathematics
A Resource Book (2nd Edition, Updated)
Edited by Lee Peng Yee and Lee Ngan Hoe
ISBN 9780071268493 • MHID 0071268499 • 2009 • Softcover • 440pp
Teaching Secondary School Mathematics is a sequel to its companion
volume, Teaching Primary School Mathematics, in the Singapore
Mathematics Education Series. Both are used as a main reference for
training school teachers at the National Institute of Education, the only
teachers’ training centre in Singapore. The series has been updated to follow
the 2007 syllabus, implemented in schools in Singapore.
Teaching Secondary School Mathematics covers the following four aspects
of teaching and learning: syllabus (standards) and concepts, teaching
approaches and ideas, common errors and learning difficulties, and sample
activities. Each chapter draws from the experience and teaching materials
of the various authors in this volume, and is well researched, clearly written
and easy to understand.
