Sommario/riassunto

The quadratic formula for the solution of quadratic equations was discovered independently by scholars in many ancient cultures and is familiar to everyone.  Less well known are formulas for solutions of cubic and quartic equations whose discovery was the high point of 16th century mathematics.  Their study forms the heart of this book, as part of the broader theme that a polynomial’s coefficients can be used to obtain detailed information on its roots. A closing chapter offers glimpses into the theory of higher-degree polynomials, concluding with a proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra.  The book also includes historical sections designed to reveal key discoveries in the study of polynomial equations as milestones in intellectual history across cultures.  Beyond the Quadratic Formula is designed for self-study, with many results presented as exercises and some supplemented by outlines for solution.  The intended audience includes in-service and prospective secondary mathematics teachers, high school students eager to go beyond the standard curriculum, undergraduates who desire an in-depth look at a topic they may have unwittingly skipped over, and the mathematically curious who wish to do some work to unlock the mysteries of this beautiful subject.

Sommario/riassunto

L'objecte d'aquest estudi ha estat revisar i analitzar l'educació i l'ensenyament impartit per part de les religioses vedrunes de Tarragona, des del 1917 al 1964. Amb aquest llibre es pretén recuperar la memòria històrica d'uns anys de dictadura que donaven poc espai a la manera d'ensenyar a les escoles. Tot i això, el mètode Montessori, o els de Pau Delclós, Joan Llongueras Badia i Jacques Dalcroze van estar presents en aquell ensenyament. Però també vol contribuir a treure a la llum un edifici esplèndid que va ser enderrocat per total manca d'estimació a un llegat dels arquitectes modernistes de casa nostra: Bernardo Pejoàn Sanmartí, Pere Caselles Tarrats, Josep M. Pujol de Barberà i Josep M. Jujol i Gibert. És un llibre de records de moltes i molts alumnes que han passat per aquelles aules del carrer d'August, amb voluntat de palesar un model avançat i potent d'ensenyament, en el qual prevalia la preparació de la dona per sortir al mercat laboral, evidentment, immers en la ideologia pròpia d'aquella societat dominada pel dictador, però en una escola en la que s'anteposava el rendiment acadèmic a les ràncies normes del comportament social del moment.

Sommario/riassunto

Despite major advances in methodology and thousands of published studies every year, treatment outcomes in schizophrenia have not improved over the last 50 years. Moreover, we still lack strategies for prevention and we do not yet understand how the interaction of genetic, developmental, and environmental factors contribute to the disorder. In this book, leading researchers consider conceptual and technical obstacles to progress in understanding schizophrenia and suggest novel strategies for advancing research and treatment.
