MATHEMATICS: a language with alphabet, vocabulary, grammar and composition
How to Read Math (published by Domain of Science)

  1. Numbers and Arithmetic       (The abstraction of numbers began with pebbles on a beach)
  2. Exponentials       (an introduction to the exponential notation)
  3. Equality, Equivalence, and Order       (when are numbers the same and when are they different)
  4. Comparing & Contrasting - mathematically       (using subtraction and division to compare sizes)
  5. Geometry       (one way of measuring of our earthly experience)
  6. Measurement of Angles       (how circular rotation got flattened into a line segment)
  7. Trigonometry of Angles       (how circular rotation can be measured using a ratios of numbers)
  8. Basic Algebra       (the first level of mathematical abstraction from the reality of numbers)
  9. Polynomials       (the stepping stone from the Algebra to the Analysis of functions)
  10. Polynomials and Factoring    (the first step to solve equations)
  11. Lines in the Plane       (visual geometry converted to abstract algebra)
  12. Logarithms       (reworking the definition of exponential to create a mirror image)
  13. Relations & Functions       (a lot like marriage really)
  14. Rational Functions       (fractions of the polynomial set)
  15. Exponentials & Logarithms:  as Functions       (viewed through the looking glass)
  16. Trigonometric Functions        ( from ratios to functions – the Cotes-Euler effect)
  17. Trigonometric Equations       (finding their solution sets)
  18. Focus on the Conics       (a tribute to curvaceous forms)
  19. Mathematical Equations        (they help define what we mean by the ‘beauty of mathematics’)
  20. Introduction to Probability       (where "Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics" all started)
  21. Rules of Probability       (the grammar of probabilistic thinking)
  22. Applied Statistics       (making sense of the Information Age)
