Some Simple Functions

This book from the Schools Council addresses the topic of functions. The contents of the book are intended primarily for teachers, for whom, it was believed, it would provide a valuable background which would deepen their understanding of mathematics and give them insight into mathematical thinking. Teachers will find that the functional approach links aspects of mathematics which, on the surface, seem disconnected and compartmentalised. The chapters cover: 1. The concept of functionality 2. The direct proportion function 3. The linear function 4. The 'square law' function 5. The inverse proportion function 6. A view of areas and volumes 7. Laws and formulae from numerical data 8. Periodic functions 9. An important growth function
