	Chapter 2: Science and Mathematics Achievement
		Family background characteristics have a considerable influence on minority participation and achievement in science and mathematics education.
		Mathematics classes with a high proportion of minorities are less likely than those with a low proportion of minorities to have mathematics teachers with majors in the field.
		The teachers in science and mathematics classes that have a high percentage of minority students are more likely to emphasize preparing students for standardized tests and are less likely than those having fewer minority students to emphasize preparing students for further study in science or mathematics.

	Family (mathematics) - Definition, explanation
		Formally, a family is a triple (X, I, ι) of sets X and I and a surjective function ι: I → X.
		But, unlike a function, a family is viewed as a collection and being an element of a family is equivalent with being in the range of the corresponding function.
		More generally, a functor can be considered as giving rise to an indexed family of objects in a category D, indexed by another category C, and related by morphisms depending on two indices.

	FINE Forum e-Newsletter Spring 2004 - Family Involvement Network of Educators - at the Harvard Family Research Project
		Families play a crucial role in their children's education, yet schools have long faced varying levels of family engagement.
		Families tend to see their children individually in the school setting, rather than seeing how the school performs as a whole.
		Family engagement is not about taking power away from the principal; it is about the well-being of children.” Feltham supported this cooperative environment through the strategy of charting progress.

		FAMILY MATH, a program which was developed at the Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California at Berkeley in the early 1980s, is designed not only to help kids become more comfortable with mathematics, but to help parents overcome their own math-phobias and learn how to help their children.
		The FAMILY MATH program was created by teachers who saw a need to help parents to understand what their children were doing in math class.
		FAMILY MATH sessions typically are schedule either after school or on Saturday mornings, and they rarely last more than an hour and a half.

		From the point of view of the parent(s), the family is a family of procreation the goal of which is to produce and enculturate and socialize children.
		Sociologists distinguish between conjugal families that are relatively independent of the kindreds of the parents, and of other families in general, and nuclear families which maintain relatively close ties with their kindreds.
		Thus, some speak of the bourgeois family, a family structure arising out of 16th and 17th century European households, in which the center of the family is a marriage between a man and woman, with strictly defined gender roles.

		Together with Isaac Newton, Gottfried Leibniz, Leonhard Euler, and Joseph Lagrange, the Bernoulli family dominated mathematics and physics in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, making important contributions to differential calculus, geometry, mechanics, ballistics, thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, optics, elasticity, magnetism, astronomy, and probability theory.
		The patriarchs of this mathematical dynasty were Jakob I (1654-1705) and his brother Johann I (1667-1748).
		Later, having been appointed to the chair of mathematics at Basle, Jakob succeeded in blocking his brother's appointment to the same department, forcing Johann to take a teaching job at the University of Groningen instead.

		Discrepancies between procedures or shortcuts that a parent has learned and what his or her child is expected to do as part of math class may cause a parent to feel helpless or lead to friction with a child or teacher.
		Parents may have difficulty accepting some of the new or nontraditional aspects of their children's mathematics schoolwork, particularly if their own past experiences with math learning were often negative and/or focused on rote learning of algorithms and computations.
		Although many family literacy programs are being established around the nation, so far no programs have begun (as far as we know) to address systematically the mathematics aspects of children's schooling or the mathematical skills of parents participating in family literacy programs.

		A new research area involves the applications of mathematics to the study of various aspects of cell metabolism, in particular, folate and methionine metabolism.
		The purpose of the project is to use mathematics to understand normal folate and methionine metabolism, DNA methylation, and purine and pyrimidine synthesis and then to understand how they are affected by alterations in diet and gene abnormalities.
		This is done by creating mathematical and computational models, based on known (partial) information about physiology and anatomy, which incorporate hypotheses about the details of the anatomy and physiology of the nuclei and the ways in which the nuclei communicate with each other.
