Sommario/riassunto

"Enlivening Secondary History is the ideal handbook for busy history teachers who want to do something different in their classrooms, but have little time to plan and organise their lessons. Featuring tried-and-tested practical ideas complete with relevant exemplars and step-by-step advice, this best-selling book is a compendium of creative activities to enhance your lessons For the 11-19 age range, each activity includes links to important topics including the Crusades, the Reformation, the World Wars, the Russian Revolution and many more. All the ideas are explained in a clear, user-friendly style, with a breakdown of the time and resources needed for each one. Featuring a brand new expanded section about teaching history with multimedia, this book also covers: - Visuals - picturing the past - Numerical data - adding interest - Concepts - making them real - Primary texts - bringing them alive. Written by practitioners for practitioners, Enlivening Secondary History helps teachers to bring history alive in an imaginative ways. It will be an indispensable guide for both



experienced and student teachers"--

Sommario/riassunto

This book gathers selected contributions presented at the INdAM Workshop “DREAMS”, held in Rome, Italy on January 22−26, 2018. Addressing cutting-edge research topics and advances in computer aided geometric design and isogeometric analysis, it covers distinguishing curve/surface constructions and spline models, with a special focus on emerging adaptive spline constructions, fundamental spline theory and related algorithms, as well as various aspects of isogeometric methods, e.g. efficient quadrature rules and spectral analysis for isogeometric B-spline discretizations. Applications in finite element and boundary element methods are also discussed. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to both researchers and graduate students working in these areas.
