Short Description:
Business and Financial Mathematics introduces students to the ideas, concepts, and applications of the mathematics of business and finance. Topics include the mathematics of merchandising, cost-volume-profit analysis, simple and compound interest, annuities, loans, bonds, and business investment decisions. The book is written at an introductory level, designed for students studying business, finance, or other related areas. The text emphasizes the understanding and application of technology, in the form of a financial calculator, to solve problems, but some knowledge of algebra is required.

This is an adaption of Angelo and Cross' book Classroom Assessment Techniques: A Handbook for College Teachers. The book provides fifty practical and innovative assessment techniques for use in the classroom. This adaptation lists the fifty techniques and provides a map to the current tools available in the online learning management system Blackboard. With this tool, faculty can identify how they would like to assess students, then choose the best tool for the task from the available options in Blackboard.

Many students are motivated by real world applications of mathematics, and most students are familiar with the term CGI from watching movies and playing video games. This particular activity ties matrix multiplication to CGI (Computer Generated Imagery). It has been used successfully with high school students in an Algebra II course who had just learned how to do matrix multiplication, middle school and high school students (some of whom were seeing matrix multiplication for the first time) attending a special Math Day on a university campus, and with College Algebra students (during a unit about matrices).

This is the FlexBook 2.0 version of CK-12's PreCalculus Concepts course. In addition to new formatting and access to teacher insights, there are many curated 'Related Modalities' for each lesson. The text surveys traditional and additional content for a course in sequence after Algebra II and before Calculus or Statistics. The content in this text covers most state standards for Analysis, Trigonometry and Linear Algebra as well as the Common Core Standards suggested for a "Fourth Course" in high school.

There is growing body of evidence to support that students who directly experience authentic scientific research are more likely to continue onto advanced degrees and careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). In an effort to introduce more students to the benefits of scientific research we have drawn on an ongoing research project aimed at understanding how Corals Respond to the Environment (CRE) to develop an interdisciplinary laboratory course based on Authentic Research Experiences (ARE). A small cohort of undergraduate students enrolled in a semester-long course, entitled CREARE, perform biochemical experiments in the laboratory, analyze environmental data by R statistical software and prepared a report modeled after a research manuscript to present their work. The impact of CREARE on student learning gains and attitudes towards science is being measured, as is the impact of CREARE on participants' career choices and retention in STEM. This multidisciplinary research program addresses the impact of climate change on the health of a critically endangered coral species, ultimately leading to a better stewardship of this invaluable resource. Furthermore, CREARE offers a unique experience for students, one that may serve as a model for the development of more research-based courses, leading to improved retention in our STEM departments.

Short Description:
The Cree Dictionary of Mathematical Terms with Visual Examples provides Cree equivalents of 176 mathematics terms and their definitions in English. The visual examples mainly contain Indigenous elements. The Dictionary was reviewed by Elders, Indigenous Knowledge Keepers and Cree-speaking educators.

Long Description:
The Cree Dictionary of Mathematical Terms with Visual Examples is the continuation of our work on composing Cree equivalents of mathematics terms. The glossary of mathematics terms was developed considering the topics of school curriculums of Canadian provinces. The Dictionary provides Cree equivalents of 176 mathematics terms and their definitions in English. The visual examples mainly contain Indigenous elements. The Dictionary was reviewed by Elders, Indigenous Knowledge Keepers, and Cree-speaking educators. Elders found it acceptable to use visual examples with Indigenous elements for educational purposes.
