Description of the ProjectOpen êClose Print
The main aim of our project „Math E-learning Materials“ is to prepare e-learning
materials which could be used at schools both by teachers and students. Producedteaching units and materials can be used as an enrichment in order to provide engaginginteractive lessons blended with standard teaching methods. We would like to encourageteachers to use blended learning methods. The produced materials can be found on theproject homepage, so it would be easily accessible also to students who can use them forsome extra practising.
Although our schools have different curricula, we have found what we have incommon. So we had decided to cover various topics (Algebra, Functions, Trigonometryand Probability). The produced notebooks contain some theory, examples and graphs.
Students had a chance to work together and to get to know each other during localproject meetings in Mikolow - Poland, Teplice - Czech Republic, Graz - Austria andRovaniemi - Finland. This cooperation continued via emails, Skype and videoconferences.They did work together on tasks given by the teachers, they exchanged their solutionsand discussed the problems.

2. For D=0 has 1 (double) root x=-b
2 a3. For D<0 has no roots
Examples:
Find roots of function f[x]=-2 x2-x+6.We have to calculate D first.
Input @
Clear @a, b, c, ∆, x 1, x 2D;
a = −2;
b = −1;
c = 6;
Input @ Solve A9∆ � b2 − 4 a c =, 8∆<E88∆ → 49<<

Answer: Roots of function f[x] are x1 = Å3
2, x2 = -2.
Forms of a quadratic function
1. f[x] = ax2 + bx + c is called the standard form .
2. f[x] = a(x-x1)(x-x2) is called the factored form , where x1and x2 are the roots of the
quadratic equation.
3. f[x] = aHx - pL2+q is called the vertex form , where p and q are the x and y coordinates of
the vertex.
Transforming vertex form to standard form:
Example: Write y=3Hx - 2L2+4 in standard form.We just have to expand this equation.
Input @ Expand A3 Hx − 2L2 + 4E
16 − 12 x + 3 x 2
Tuesday, May 4, 2010 1. M6 - Math E-learing Materials FIN, PL, CZ, SLOVAKIA.nb
Site: www.deltasoft.at M@th Desktop 53
Answer: Standard form is y=3 x2-12x+16.
Transforming standard form to vertex form:
Example: Write y=x2-6x+4 in vertex form.We already know a=1. We just need to calculate p and q.
p=-b
2 a and q=-

Input @ p = 3;
Note: p = 3. Now we need to calculate D.
Input @ Solve A9∆ � b2 − 4 a c =, 8∆<E88∆ → 20<<
Input @ ∆ = 20;
Note: D = 20 so now we can calculate q.
Input @ Solve B:q � −∆
4 a>, 8q<F
88q → −5<<
Note: Now we know all needed variables to complete vertex form.
f[x]=aHx - pL2+q
f[x]=Hx - 3L2-5
Transforming factored form to standard form:
To do this we just have to use a "FullSimplify" on the equation, for example:
Write f[x]=- Å1
3(x-3)(x+3) in standard form:
Tuesday, May 4, 2010 1. M6 - Math E-learing Materials FIN, PL, CZ, SLOVAKIA.nb

Input @ FullSimplify B−1
3Hx − 3L Hx + 3LF
3 −x2

Answer: Standard form of this function is f[x]=- Å1
3x2+3
Transforming standard form to factored form:We have to calculate roots and put them into formula (we already know a).Example:
Write f[x]=5x2 - 15 x in factored form.
Input @
Clear @a, b, c, ∆, x 1, x 2D;
a = 5;
b = −15;
c = 0;
Input @ Solve A9∆ � b2 − 4 a c =, 8∆<E88∆ → 225<<
Input @ ∆ = 225;
Note: Now we can calculate roots.
Input @ Solve B:x1 �−b − ∆

−b + ∆
2 a>, 8x1, x 2<F
88x1 → 0, x 2 → 3<<
Note: 5(x-0)(x-3)=5x(x-3)
Answer: Factored form of this function is f[x]=5x(x-3).

Definitions
Sample SpacesA sample space is the set of all possible outcomes.
Example 1. Consider the experiment of flipping two coins. It is possible to get 0 heads, 1 head, or 2 heads. Thus, the sample space could be the set {0, 1, 2}. Another way to look at it is flip { HH, HT, TH, TT }.In the table the 1st flip is in the horizontal and the 2nd flip in the vertical line and the four outcomes are in black.
Ñ H T
H HH HT
T HT TT
The second way is better because each event is as equally likely to occur as any other.
A classical probabilityThe probability of an event occurring is the number of cases favorable for the event n (E), over the number of total outcomes possible n (S). This is only true when the events are equally likely.
P(E) = n HELn HSL
Empirical ProbabilityEmpirical probability is based on observation. The empirical probability of an event is the relative frequency of a frequency distribution based upon observation.
P(E) = Åf
n
Example 2. This time you are rolling two dice. The sums are { 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 }. However, each of these aren't equally likely. The only way you can get a sum 2 is to roll a 1 on both dice, but you can get a sum of 4 by rolling a 1-3, 2-2, or 3-1. The following table illustrates a better sample space for the sum obtain when rolling two dice. In the lowest horizontal row are the points of the first dice and in the most left column are the

P(A and B) = P(A)×P(B)
If the events A and B are dependant of each other the multiplication theorem is valid in the form
P(first A, then B) = P(A)×P(B, when A has already taken place)
Example 5.A die is thrown three times. The results are independant of each other. The odds that the result is a series of 1, 2 and 3 are thus

3. Tree model
If the phenomenom being studied is divided into separate events, which together cover the whole phenomenom, it is said that the sum of these probabilities = 1 (=100%). In the case of seperate events it is possible to talk about the addition theorem.
The overall situation is often depictable with a tree model, where different events are recorded with their respective probabilities. A tree model is read from top to bottom, so that one picks the branch that describes a series of events, and then multiply all the different odds of that branch. In the end, the probabilities of different branches are then summed.
Tree Diagram A graphical device used to list all possibilities of a sequence of events in a systematic way.
Example 6.There are three production lines in a factory, A, B and C. Of the total production 40% goes through line A, 25% through line B and the rest through line C. 3% of the products of line A, 1% of the products of line B and 2% of the products of line C are malfunctional. A random product is picked from a large batch. What are the odds that the product in question is malfunctional?
Tuesday, May 4, 2010 1. M6 - Math E-learing Materials FIN, PL, CZ, SLOVAKIA.nb
Site: www.deltasoft.at M@th Desktop 100
It is possible to calculate the answer directly from the model.P(the product is malfunctional) = 0.40 × 0.03+ 0.25 × 0.02 + 0.35 0.01 =
0.0205 º 2%
In practice we have come along the addition theorem as a part of the tree model's solution. When a problem includes different choices and options, then
- The consequent events "first A, then B" point to multiplication- The parallel events "A or B" point to addition

4. Addition theorem
If the events A and B are independant, ie. when the other takes place the other cannot, there is a probability that the result of the random phenomenon is "A or B".
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
Example 7.What is the probability for a two-figure number being divisible bya) two b) three c) six d) two or three?
Two-figure numbers: 10, 11, 12, ..., 99; 190 altogetherNumbers divisible by two: 10, 12, ..., 98; 45 altogetherNumbers divisible by three: 12, 15, ..., 99; 30 altogetherNumbers divisible by six: 12, 18, ..., 96; 15 altogether

d) Because numbers divisible by six are divisible by both two and three they are accountable in the amount of numbers divisible by two as well as three. In other words, they are involved twice in the addition 45+30. Thus, there are 45 + 30 - 15 numbers divisible by two or three.
P(divisible by 2 or 3) = 45 + 30 - 15

Example 8.A sweets factory produces its "mix of the best"-assortment, of which 45% of the sweets contain additive A and 32% additive B. Both additives are found in 15% of the sweets. A candy is picked from a batch at random. What are the odds that the candy contains a) atleeast one of the two additives b) neither of the additives?
Now we cannot use figures the same way we did in example 6.
Let's make it easier to grasp the situation by tabulating the given information. Since both additives can be found in 15% of the sweets, the percentage of sweets containing only additive A is 45-15 = 30 and only additive B 32-15 = 17.
Additive APositive Negative
Additive B Positive 15 32-15=17Negative 45-15=30
a) P(atleast one additive) = 15% + 17% + 30% = 62%b) In the remaining section, the cell corresponding the lower right corner of the table, no additives have been used.
P(neither of the additives)= 100% - (15% + 17% + 30%) = 38% of the sweets.
In the case of examples 7 and 8 the given events were not independant, but there was the possibility of them taking place at the same time. In this case, like presented in the examples, the elimination of the events' redundancy is required while calculating the probability for 'A or B'.

5. Probability with a certain condition
It is often on purpose that we examine event A, in relation with a random event, in a smaller range of correspondance than the original population.
Example 9.
Let's think of the situation in example 6, where we calculated the probability for a product being malfunctional and we got the result
P(the product is malfunctional) = 0.205
If we are especially interested in the probability for the malfunctional product having been manufactured on production line A, it is natural to think of the group formed by the malfunctional products as a completely new domain.
The probability for a product being from line A while acknowledging that the product is malfunctional is found by examining the share of products from line A in comparison with the number of malfunctional products from all production lines.
P(the malfunctional product is from production line A) =
0.40 µ 0.03
0.0205 = 0.585... º 59%
In these type of situations we speak of conditional probability. We will not go further into the subject or using conditional probability on a wider scale.

Answer: there must be at least 23 students.
Binomial ExperimentA binomial experiment is an experiment which satisfies these four conditions ⋅ A fixed number of trials ⋅ Each trial is independent of the others ⋅ There are only two outcomes ⋅ The probability of each outcome remains constant from trial to trial. These can be summarized as: An experiment with a fixed number of independent trials, each of which can only have two possible outcomes. The fact that each trial is independent actually means that the probabilities remain constant.
Examples of binomial experiments⋅ Tossing a coin 100 times to see how many heads occur. ⋅ Asking 500 people if they watch news. ⋅ Rolling a die to see if a 6 appears. Examples which aren't binomial experiments⋅ Rolling a die until a 6 appears (not a fixed number of trials) ⋅ Asking 20 people how old they are (not two outcomes) ⋅ Drawing 5 cards from a deck for a poker hand (done without replacement, so not independent)

The ways you can get exactly 2 successes in 6 trials are given below. The probability of each is written to the right of the way it could occur.

needed 2 successes. The Å5
6 is the probability of failure, and if
2 of the 6 trials were success, then 4 of the 6 must be failures. Note that 2 is the value of x and 4 is the value of n-k. Further note that there are fifteen ways this can occur. This is the number of ways 2 successes can be occur in 6 trials without repetition and order not being important, or a combination of 6 things, 2 at a time. The probability of getting exactly x success in n trials, with the probability of success on a single trial being p is:
P(X=k) = nk

Multinomial ProbabilitiesOpen ê Close
Multinomial ProbabilitiesA multinomial experiment is an extended binomial probability. The difference is that in a multinomial experiment, there are more than two possible outcomes. However, there are still a fixed number of independent trials, and the probability of each outcome must remain constant from trial to trial. Instead of using a combination, as in the case of the binomial probability, the number of ways the outcomes can occur is done using distinguishable permutations. An example here will be much more useful than a formula. The probability that a person will pass a College Algebra class is 0.55, the probability that a person will withdraw before the class is completed is 0.40, and the probability that a person will fail the class is 0.05. Find the probability that in a class of 30 students, exactly 16 pass, 12 withdraw, and 2 fail.
Outcome x p Ioutcome LPass 16 0.55
Withdraw 12 0.40
Fail 2 0.05
Total 30 1.00
The probability is found using this formula:
P =30!
H16!L H12!L H2!L * 0.5516* 0.4012 * 0.052 (Count this ;) )

Hypergeometric ProbabilitiesOpen ê Close
Hypergeometric ProbabilitiesHypergeometric experiments occur when the trials are not independent of each other and occur due to sampling without replacement -- as in a five card poker hand (see the Solved Problem 5.5 later). Hypergeometric probabilities involve the multiplication of two combinations together and then division by the total number of combinations.
Example 1.How many ways can 3 men and 4 women be selected from a group of 7 men and 10 women?
The answer is =
73
104
177
= 7350/19448 º 0.3779
Note that the sum of the numbers in the numerator are the numbers used in the combination in the denominator. This can be extended to more than two groups and called an extended hypergeometric problem.

Poisson distributionOpen êClose
Named after the French mathematician Simeon Poisson, Poisson probabilities are useful when there are a large number of independent trials with a small probability of success on a single trial and the variables occur over a period of time. It can also be used when a density of items is distributed over a given area or volume.
In a repeated trial the Poissson distribution is used instead of the binomial distribution,if -the exact values of the parameters n and p are not known-the number of trials is great and the probability of the examined event A is small

If there are 500 customers per eight-hour day in a check-out lane, what is the probability that there will be exactly 3 in line during any five-minute period? The expected value during any one five minute period would be 500 / 96 = 5.2083333. The 96 is because there are 96 five-minute periods in eight hours. So, you expect about 5.2 customers in 5 minutes and want to know the probability of getting exactly 3.

Sample selectionOpen êClose
An avarege calculated from a sample is an estimate for the real distributions average i.e expected value. When we pick multiple same size samples the same variable in mind and calculate the average of each sample, results are very often normaly distributed. Even when the variable itself is not normaly distributed. In this kind of situation we use the average calculated from the sample as the expected value x and
as standard deviation we use the average's mean errors
n, where n is the size of the
sample. X and s are indexes of the random variable's distribution or if they are not known like the case often is, they are indexes calculated from the sample.

SummaryOpen êClose Print
Mathematica project summary, what have we learnt:
During this project we have learnt how to use Mathematica program and to cooperate with students from other countries from all around Europe. One of most notable gains we have also gotten from the project was learning basic mathematical English. This was due to numerous social interactions with students and teachers from different cultural backgrounds. Interaction between different cultures taught us also valuable lessons from other than mathematical fields.
Algebra group thought that the most valuable usage of the Mathematica and M@th Desktop is in graph drawing, it enables to imagine problems in mathematics better.
Functional group emphasizes that the most remarkable aspect of Mathematica and M@th Desktop is that it concretizes mathematics. For example by drawing the functional exercise it was easier to perceive the problem. The program was very flexible and it made it possible to solve difficult exercises in short time.
Students in trigonometry group have learnt many things about how to use Mathematica and M@th Desktop program. The group discovered that the program is a useful tool to solve many different types of trigonometrical exercises.
Probability group focused on probability in which they improved a lot during the project. The group learned of the several useful and efficient features of Mathematica and M@th Desktop for probability problems.
E-learning was one of the main focuses of the project and it was easy and still effective to solve difficult exercises with international teamwork. All groups think that the best part of the project was the necessity to communicate with students from foreign countries, especially including language practice, which still continues. Most of us have kept contact with each other also outside the project and we have made friends with them. Mathematica project has created a new aspect to our mathematical study techniques.
