Change is possible: stories of women and minorities in mathematics by Patricia Clark Kenschaft, published by AMS, 2005 212 pages, softcover June 2010 ACM SIGACT News DOI. Author of Math Power, Calculus, Linear Mathematics, Change Is Possible. Suitable for a traditional one-year course in linear algebra or a more streamlined single-semester course, it can also serve for courses in finite mathematics or mathematics in the contemporary world for liberal arts students.Ĭarefully chosen examples and exercises form the basis of this treatment, in which students solve problems related to biology (nesting habits of birds), sociology (rural-urban migration patterns), transportation (traffic flow), psychology (verifying claims of ESP), business (maximizing profits), and other fields. This book is about the progress that women and minorites have made and have not made in mathematics. Designed to help students appreciate the beauty of abstract patterns and the thrill of modeling the real world, this versatile, time-tested, and widely used text requires only two years of high school algebra.
