1.1 Notation, conventions, and symbology Any book that covers a broad range of topics will likely harbor some problems with notation and symbology. This results from having the same symbol used in different areas to represent different quantities, and also from having too many quantities to represent

10.1 What is transfer of learning? consider the two students: Henry is bilingual:He speaks both English and Spanish fluently.He begins a French course in high school and immediately recognizes many similarities between French and Spanish. “Aha,”he thinks, “my knowledge of Spanish will help me learn French”. Ted’s mathematics class has been working with decimals for several weeks. His teacher asked, “which number is larger, 4.4 or 4.14?” Ted recalls something that he knows about whole numbers: Number with three digits are larger than numbers with only two digits. “The larger number is 4.14”, he concludes

7.1 concept learning 7.1.1 concept A concept is a category under which specific elements may be grouped.e.g. a red ball, a red pencil, and a red chair are all instances of the simple concept “red”. An “even number” is defined as any integer（整数） that is divisible by two without a remainder, and that an “odd number” is one that is not evenly(均匀地） divisible by two

The Lathe And Its Construction A lathe is a machine tool used primarily for producing surfaces of revolution and flat edges. Based on their purpose, construction, number of tools that can simultaneously be mounted and degree of automation, lathes-or, more accurately, lathe-type machine tools-can be classified as follows:

Surface quality is another aspect of machining accuracy. It consists of the surface finish and the physic mechanical state of the surface layer. It affects the proper functioning and service life of the parts Surface Finish Machining accuracy is expressed quantitatively in machining error. Surface finish is expressed quantitatively in surface roughness. The surface roughness on a machined workpiece surface is caused primarily by the geometrical factors(cutting tool geometry and cutting

Subject: English Pronunciation for Communication Purpose: The students will learn stressed syllables & unstressed syllables in English. Objectives: Students will be able to: 1. Define - in their own words a definition for stressed syllables & unstressed syllables. It is a revision and therefore, easy for most of the students; 2. Compare – based on the understanding of the basic concept, compare stressed and unstressed syllables in words and sentences;

Subject: English Pronunciation for Communication Purpose: The students will learn the consonants: “fricatives” and “affricates” in English. Objectives: Students will be able to: 1. Define - in their own words a definition for “fricatives” and “affricates”;

Date: Sept.16-20 Class: Classes 1, 2 & 3, Grade 2002 Subject: English Pronunciation for Communication Purpose: The students will learn some basic concepts in English pronunciation. We are going to learn something about syllables, stress and rhythm in English. At the same time, they will learn to say greetings and farewell with appropriate pronunciation and intonation in English

Objectives of the CourseThis course is intended to help the students toimprove their English pronunciation, includingsuch elements as （1) the correct pronunciation of individualphonemes and words in English （2) the rhythmic patterns of the English language （3) patterns and functions of English intonation,so that the students will be able to communicate moreeffectively with good pronunciation and intonation
