"English for Mathematics" is a course book for learning English. The idea was to create a teaching aid which would enable students of technical faculties to become familiar with basie mathematical concepts in English.
The main aim of "English for Mathematics" is to be used during foreign language courses at university - it is not intended to be used for teaching math. However, it may be very helpful for students intending to take part in scholarships abroad. It can also be used by those interested in mathematical terminology in English.
"English for Mathematics" may be successfully used by teachers of English who were not trained in mathematics - it includes teacher's book with answers to all exercises, instructions and additional ideas. Each chapter includes phonetic exercises which should be helpful as far as pronunciation is concerned. There are also exercises with recorded mathematical texts, which give additional practice in listening and correct pronunciation. The recordings (in MP3 format) can be downloaded from CJO PG website and from the Mathematics portal (http://www.pg.gda.pl/math), http://cjo.pg.gda.pl/ free of charge.
All the chapters can be used independently but their chronology is connected with the history of mathematics.
We recommend the use of Appendices and Additional Materiał (including biographies of selected famous mathematicians). You can find there additional exercises, mathematical symbols and ways of reading mathematical operations. We also recommend encouraging students to use some up-to-date articles to prepare presentations towards the end of the course. The library of Gdańsk University of Technology is a very good source of contemporary texts. www.bg.gda.pl
