As face-to-face interaction between student and instructor is not present in online learning environments, it is increasingly important to understand how to establish and maintain social presence in online learning. Student-Teacher Interaction in Online Learning Environments provides successful strategies and procedures for developing policies to bring about an awareness of the practices that enhance online learning. This reference book provides building blocks to help improve the outcome of online coursework and discusses social presence to help improve performance, interaction, and a sense of community for all participants in an online arena. This book is of essential use to online educators, administrators, researchers, and students.

This mathematical study was initially written as a set of notes in complex analysis over the spring and summer of 2013. Its purpose is to clarify the techniques and results of complex analysis by using a dialogue between master and student. Its inspiration is the belief that this form of open conversation can show the reader both the tension and structure of the material. For this reason, dialogue can prove to be a very powerful and eloquent form of mathematical instruction.The book begins with an introduction to sequences and topology before tackling the topics of complex differentiability, Taylor series, contour integration, and the calculus of residues. After all this, complex functions are studied as conformal mappings, leading naturally to the Riemann mapping theorem.Before going on to the proof of this theorem, the focus shifts to the study of heat and Fourier analysis. The techniques of complex analysis are used to aid in studying the Fourier series and transform. The study then returns to conformal mappings in the context of solving Laplace's equation on various regions. After this, the topic becomes the study of special functions, culminating in Riemann's proof of the prime number theorem, and then shifting focus once again to the doubly-periodic elliptic functions. The final chapter is not standard in an introductory complex analysis book, and concerns the study of Theta functions and modular forms. There is a separate appendix of color plots to accompany this book.This work was mostly modeled after Elias Stein's lecture series at Princeton.

Fourth edition of a popular textbook. Primary or supplementary text for teacher education, methods courses, and seminar courses for student teachers.

First published in 1998. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

Considers teacher education as an important aspects of the teaching profession and demonstrates why it is so important for higher education institutions to value their teacher educators' professional knowledge. The book demonstrates how teaching about teaching knowledge pedagogy is vital to the development of quality in teacher education and how this knowledge needs to be articulated and communicated throughout the teaching profession, both in schools and universities.

This volume shows how the history and practices of mathematics education in Korea (from Volume 7) have been influenced by Japan, America and other countries, developing into the unique Korean style of mathematics education.Research content and practices currently being conducted are also covered, as well as topics like teacher education, special mathematics education, research trends and some perspectives towards the future of mathematics education in Korea.
