 UniMelb UGHB96 : Sci : Index of Mathematics subjects
Mathematics is the oldest of the exact sciences, and among the oldest of all intellectual disciplines.
A knowledge of mathematics is invaluable for professional life in the pure and applied sciences, as well as in commerce, industry and technology, and an understanding of mathematics is invaluable in making sense of a rapidly changing and increasingly technologically complex world.
The Department of Mathematics offers a variety of subjects at first, second and third year levels which are designed to prepare students for professional careers in mathematics or to help with studies in other disciplines, and to provide training in logical reasoning and to cultivate analytical skills.

  Index (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The index of a subgroup is the number of its left cosets (which is equal to the number of its right cosets).
The index of a Fredholm operator is the dimension of its kernel minus the dimension of its cokernel.
This index is used in the statement of the Poincaré–Hopf theorem which relates the sum of the indices of a vector field to the Euler characteristic of the manifold.

 NAEP - What Does the 2005 Mathematics Assessment Measure?
The revisions made to the mathematics framework for the 2005 assessment are intended to reflect recent curricular emphases and to include clear and more specific objectives for each grade level.
Mathematical complexity is categorized as low, moderate, or high, and each level of complexity includes aspects of knowing and doing mathematics, such as reasoning, performing procedures, understanding concepts, or solving problems.
The complexity dimension builds on the dimensions of mathematical ability (conceptual understanding, procedural knowledge, and problem solving) and mathematical power (reasoning, connections, and communication) that were used in the mathematics framework for the 1996-2003 NAEP assessments.

 Math Standards
Mathematics is not simply a collection of facts and procedures, and doing mathematics is not simply recalling these facts, nor performing memorized procedures.
Mathematics is a coherent and useful discipline that has expanded dramatically in the last 25 years.
Because the understandings developed through this standard are critical to success in mathematics and to the appropriate use of quantitative reasonings in other disciplines, students should explore and use the ideas of functions, patterns, and algebra from kindergarten through 12th grade.
