Education

TEACH FOR LIFE, the new book by Irie Glajar, a math professor, provides many easy, fun, effective, and practical ways for each of us as human beings and citizens of the world, to fulfill our dual duties as teachers and students. We all have the responsibility to learn and teach forever. Irie’s book can help us enjoy and effectively handle our double duties and opportunities in those two most important capacities. His daring escape in 1981 at age 26 from, then, hard-core Communist Romania, and his life thereafter in the U.S.A show that a motivated person can accomplish virtually anything.

At a convention in 2009, I happened to meet one of Irie’s former students. She recalled that back in the 1980’s, “Irie made math fun.” In TEACH FOR LIFE, Irie shares with us effective and fun means of enjoying and fulfilling our endless opportunities to teach and learn.

EDUCATION IN A CHANGING WORLD, by Irie Glajar, challenges the individual and the human race to forever continue learning as the World changes, recognizing that improving education is one of the most important common interests necessary to our very survival.

Irie well understands his subject matter, experiencing life as a student, graduate, refugee, teacher, author, and professor.

Examples of improving education in our ever-changing World include techniques making irresistible and fun choices likely to result in exclamations like “Wow, learning important facts is helpful and makes life easier,” followed by “These concepts may be useful with respect to many other jobs and endeavors,” ”I wonder what all else I don’t yet know,” and “Life will be better and better, forever, the more we all continue to learn and help the human race help itself!”

We believe that you will enjoy and find useful Irie’s thoughtful and perceptive insights and recommendations in EDUCATION IN A CHANGING WORLD.

Positive Imaging published Deep Photographs: The Education of a Sociologist, a fascinating and insightful new book by socialogist and educator David Weiner. The many stories from life experiences will keep you reading and learning. Here are David’s words on the back cover.

“Tiring of me moping about the house one summer sans project, my wife suggested "Why don't you write down the stories you love to tell. Don't worry about getting published. Have fun!" Begun grudgingly, the project totally absorbed me within a week. These were not just stories, they were the seminal events that shaped my life as educator and community engaged sociologist. More than a decade later, it seems to me they may be more than this. They also provide glimpses of the hidden workings of society. Like one of the blind questions in the Parable of the Elephant, it privileges me, therefore, humbly to offer my sensations of it as pieces of the puzzle that is our culture.”

"Irie Glajar has been a mathematics professor at Austin Community College in Austin Texas since 1984. He has taught a variety of undergraduate courses and has a deep interest in the pedagogy of teaching mathematics.

Aside math, through his other writings, Irie displays a long-term passion for the philosophy of modern education, intended to facilitate positive human development."

Mathematics education, especially at the secondary and undergraduate levels, raises unique challenges regardless of the student population or the school district. In fact, by its nature, it is the area of modern teaching and learning that requires more attention, dedication, and persistence than many of its counterparts.

As it is commonly known, we can best learn by practicing, and that is where the present collection of 1,460 mathematics problems, from simple to complex, comes in. Along with a few original proofs, which are some of my modest contributions to the world of mathematics, the proposed selection from Prealgebra to Calculus (with answers included) can help sharpen our skills within this range.
