Whitman, Carmen – Math Solutions, 2011
"It's All Connected" provides teachers of mathematics the support they need to improve their instruction. This in-demand collection of lessons for grades 6-8 explores proportionality, proportional relationships, and proportional reasoning, acknowledging that the ability to reason proportionally is crucial in the middle school mathematics…

Furnass, John – New Castle, 1809
This textbook is a course in surveying. Geometry, land surveying, chain surveying, plain-table surveying, theodolite surveying, hilly-ground surveying, laying out land, division of land, and levelling are covered.
Descriptors: Textbooks, Topography, Geometry, Mathematics
Flint, Abel – Belknap and Hamersley, 1839
This textbook covers geometry and trigonometry with addition of a fuller explanation of rectangular surveying, as well as a more particular explanation of the use of natural sines. The book's primary goal is teaching common field surveying. This edition adds practical matter, as well as the only table of natural tangents ever published in this…

Flint, Abel, Comp. – Oliver D. Cooke, 1813
This work is chiefly a compilation from other books; and but very little new is added except a more full explanation, than has yet been published, of rectangular surveying, or the method of calculating the area of fields arithmetically, without drawing a plot of them and measuring with a scale and dividers, as has been the common practice; and…

Gibson, Robert – Joseph Crukshank, 1792
This publication, with alterations and amendments, has been adapted to the use of American surveyors. The first section discusses decimal fractions, the square root, geometrical definitions, theorems and problems, and logarithm numbers, signs, and tangents. The second section contains plane trigonometry right angled and oblique, with its…

Bartlett, Albert A. – Physics Teacher, 2006
Several times a week I walk by a metal chair that is fastened to a flat concrete slab at an outdoor bus stop here in Boulder. One day I noticed on the concrete a nice shadow image of the woven metal seat of the chair (Fig. 1). The seat and back of the chair are formed from 3.8-cm wide strips of metal spaced 3.8 cm apart. The seat is about 39 cm…
