For prospective elementary and middle school teachers. This text provides a creative, inquiry-based experience with geometry that is appropriate for prospective elementary and middle school teachers. The coherent series of text activities supports each student's growth toward being a confident, independent learner empowered with the help of peers to make sense of the geometric world. This curriculum is explicitly developed to provide future elementary and middle school teachers with * experience recalling and appropriately using standard geometry ideas, * experience learning and making sense of new geometry, * experience discussing geometry with peers, * experience asking questions about geometry, * experience listening and understanding as others talk about geometry, * experience gaining meaning from reading geometry, * experience expressing geometry ideas through writing, * experience thinking about geometry, and * experience doing geometry. These activities constitute an "inquiry based" curriculum. In this style of learning and teaching, whole class discussions and group work replace listening to lectures as the dominant class activity.

In Science of Synthesis: Cross Coupling and Heck-Type Reactions, expert authors present and discuss the best and most reliable methods currently available for the formation of new carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds using these reactions, highlighted with representative experimental procedures. Together, the three volumes of Cross Coupling and Heck-Type Reactions provide an extensive overview of the current state of the art in this field of central importance in modern chemistry, and are an invaluable resource for the practicing synthetic organic chemist. The Cross Coupling and Heck-Type Reaction set consists of the following volumes: Cross Coupling and Heck-Type Reactions 1: C-C Cross Coupling Using Organometallic Partners Cross Coupling and Heck-Type Reactions 2: Carbon-Heteroatom Cross Coupling and C-C Cross Couplings of Acidic C-H Nucleophiles Cross Coupling and Heck-Type Reactions 3: Metal-Catalyzed Heck-Type Reactions and C-H Couplings via C-H Activation
