March 3, Our son was encouraged to learn. He was climbing a ladder of knowledge. He was engaging so as to want to please each tutor because he , like every child, feels better with praise when he completes and masters a task.
We could not continue due to other financials that were needed for our family, we would have lived to have him keep going. February 20, Nicole Hennessey. We are so thankful for the help my daughter is receiving. She has a great attitude now about math and is excited to go regardless of the drive!!!

August 28, The program itself and the people are exceptional!! Everyone was so friendly, enthusiastic and helpful!! My daughter had so much and learned a lot while doing it!! Also, as a single parent I loved the flexible scheduling! There was no set day or time, so with our busy schedule we were able to fit it in as often as we were able to go!!
We would have loved to continue the program, however, the only critique I had was the pricing. It was just a little too pricey for us to be able to continue going! Thanks to everyone involved in the program!! Out experience was beyond wonderful and would absolutely suggest it to any child that needed that extra little help!!
August 9, Dawn Notino. It is followed by three more definitions:. Biology The physiological activity of an organ or body part. Chemistry The characteristic behavior of a chemical compound, resulting from the presence of a specific functional group. Computer Science A procedure within an application. That's a hefty load for one word to carry. Readers or listeners encountering the word "function" may understandably have difficulties sorting through so many definitions to ascertain the word's meaning in a particular context.
Even when such a word is properly defined near the beginning and the context is clear, a reader unfamiliar with the notion may later revert to other, more familiar meanings of the word, potentially creating confusion in the reader's mind.
When I was a writer for Science News magazine, I could only on rare occasions get away with using the word "function" in my mathematics news articles without offering some sort of definition of the concept, expressed in words. In the same way, mathematicians should realize that words they use routinely can echo in unexpected ways in the minds of their listeners or readers, particularly in ways that reflect different experiences and contexts.
Such words include acute, base, chaos, chord, composite, concurrent, coordinate, degree, dimension, domain, exponent, factor, graph, group, linear, matrix, mean, network, obtuse, order, power, prism, proof, radical, range, relation, root, series, set, vector, and volume.
Each has a precise mathematical meaning; each also has multiple alternative meanings. On the other hand, the word " fractal ," coined by mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot , is a noteworthy example of a term that works in both a mathematical and a popular context. Mathematics could use more such words.
People are genuinely curious about mathematics, despite the overwhelming fear of the subject that many may feel. Mathematicians who pay particular attention to how they express themselves and connect with their audiences through a common, nontechnical language can make important contributions to the public understanding of mathematics.
