Classic study discusses number sequence and number language, then explores written numerals and computations in a wide range of cultures. "The historian of mathematics will find much to interest him here both in the contents and viewpoint, while the casual reader is likely to be intrigued by the author’s superior narrative ability."—Library Journal. 282 illustrations. 1969 edition.

How do children learn math -- and why do some children struggle with it? The answers are in Number Sense and Number Nonsense, a straightforward, reader-friendly book for education professionals and an invaluable multidisciplinary resource for researchers. More than a first-ever research synthesis, this highly accessible book brings math difficulties into clear focus, helping educators and psychologists get inside students’ heads so they can devise the best way to help children learn. Clinical psychologist Nancy Krasa and middle-school teacher Sara Shunkwiler combine their expertise for a

Number is a major research domain in semantics, syntax and morphology. However, no current theory of number is applicable to all three fields. In this work, the author argues that a unified theory is not only possible, but necessary for the study of Universal Grammar. Through insightful analysis of unfamiliar data, the author shows that one and the same feature set is implicated in semantic and morphological number phenomena alike, with syntax acting as the conduit between the two. At the heart of the study is an original treatment of Kiowa, a North American language with a remarkable constell

This book is written for undergraduates who wish to learn some basic results in analytic number theory. It covers topics such as Bertrand’s Postulate, the Prime Number Theorem and Dirichlet’s Theorem of primes in arithmetic progression. The materials in this book are based on A Hildebrand’s 1991 lectures delivered at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the author’s course conducted at the National University of Singapore from 2001 to 2008. Contents: Facts about Integers Arithmetical Functions Averages of Arithmetical Functions Elementary R
