26.       Poole, D. (2015). Linear algebra a modern introduction (4^th ed.)

CALL NO: 512.523 POO

David Poole's innovative book prepares students to make the transition from the computational aspects of the course to the theoretical by emphasizing vectors and geometric intuition from the start. Designed for a one- or two-semester introductory course and written in simple, "mathematical English" the book presents interesting examples before abstraction. This immediately follows up theoretical discussion with further examples and a variety of applications drawn from a number of disciplines, which reinforces the practical utility of the math, and helps students from a variety of backgrounds and learning styles stay connected to the concepts they are learning. Poole's approach helps students succeed in this course by learning vectors and vector geometry first in order to visualize and understand the meaning of the calculations that they will encounter and develop mathematical maturity for thinking abstractly.

27.       Coles, D. & Copeland, T. (2002). Numeracy and mathematics across the primary curriculum.

CALL NO: 372.7044094121bCOL

The key to good primary teaching of numeracy and mathematics is confidence in mathematical knowledge and its relevance to the real world. In particular, effective implementation of the National Numeracy Strategy requires student teachers, primary teachers and mathematics coordinators to realize the place of mathematics across the range of National Curriculum subjects.

This book explores mathematics as a set of tools for thinking about, designing, evaluating and changing the world of the child through the broader curriculum, rather than focusing on skills and concept building exclusively in the ‘mathematical world.’ Practical activities are included to stimulate readers to apply these ideas with confidence both within and beyond the mathematics lesson.

It presents art education as an integration of philosophy, history, theory, and practice. Bates illustrates how to apply theory to practice as an art educator. Models, methods, and experiences are provided to enlighten, inspire, and amuse. BECOMING AN ART TEACHER is a refreshing approach to art methods.

36.       Barnett, R. A., Zieglar, M. R, Byleen, K. E & Sobecki, D. (2009). Precalculus graph & models (3^rd ed.)

CALL NO: 515 PRE

The Barnett Graphs & Models series in college algebra and precalculus maximizes student comprehension by emphasizing computational skills, real-world data analysis and modeling, and problem solving rather than mathematical theory. Many examples feature side-by-side algebraic and graphical solutions, and each is followed by a matched problem for the student to work. This active involvement in the learning process helps students develop a more thorough understanding of concepts and processes. A hallmark of the Barnett series, the function concept serves as a unifying theme. A major objective of this book is to develop a library of elementary functions, including their important properties and uses. Employing this library as a basic working tool, students will be able to proceed through this course with greater confidence and understanding as they first learn to recognize the graph of a function and then learn to analyze the graph and use it to solve the problem. Applications included throughout the text give the student substantial experience in solving and modeling real world problems in an effort to convince even the most skeptical student that mathematics is really useful.

38.       Idris Aman. (2014). Analisis wacana.

CALL NO: 808.02 IDR

Analisis wacana adalah salah satu cabang ilmu yang terangkum dalam disiplin linguistik. Analisis Wacana juga memberi pendedahan awal berkaitan wacana tertentu yang merangkumi penjelasan konsep dan dipermudahkan pemahamannya dengan mengemukakan beberapa contoh analisis. Sejajar dengan dengan perkembangan ilmu analisis wacana kini, buku ini juga bukan sahaja bergerak untuk matlamat kritis. Sembilan bab pertama berkisar pada matlamat deskriptif, manakala bab akhir adalah tentang matlamat kritis. Penekanan lebih kepada deskriptif kerana bahagian ini adalah topik – topik asas dalam analisis wacana yang perlu dikuasai. Matlamat deskriptif meliputi analisis dimensi tekstual dan dimensi kewacanaan, amanakala matlamat kritis memfokus kepada pemanfaatan analisi wacana untuk memahami dimensi lain di luar wacana, khususnya dalam masyarakat, seperti proses dan praktis sosial. Namun begitu, pada penghujung buku ini turut dimuatkan soalan perbincangan dan analisis bagi memberi kefahaman yang lebih kepada para pembaca, malah ada antara soalan berkenaan boleh mencetuskan kajian lanjut. Konsep atau istilah tertentu turut diberikan dalam bahasa inggeris supaya pembaca boleh mengetahui konsep berkenaan dan boleh merujuk lanjut buku dalam bahasa tersebut.

39.       Roff, W. R. (2003). Nasionalisme melayu.

CALL NO: 320.54009595 ROF

Roff bukan sahaja mengisi sesuatu kekosongan, bahkan telah menulis sesuatu  yang wajarnya dapat diistilahkan sebagai sejarah sosialogis yang pertama tentang masyrakat Melayu moden. Buku ini bukanlah sebuah karya sejarah yang berupa pemeriksaan terhadap perubahan sosial yang ditimbulkan oleh keadaan sekeliling yang berubah, iaitu munculnya golongan atasan yang baru dalam lapangan politik yang menjadi inti analisisnya.

Kita diperkenalkan dengan tiga golongan atasan, yang berbeza – beza kerana asal – usul sosial mereka dan yang lebih penting lagi, oleh orientasi pendidikan dan seterusnya kebudayaan dan politik mereka. Yang mula – mula di antara mereka datang daripada borjois Islam yang warak, yang kebanyakan tinggal di Negeri – negeri Selat. Golongan yang kedua ialah intelek Melayu. Mereka memperoleh pendidikan di sekolah – sekolah Melayu dan datang daripada kalangan petani dan bukan daripada latar belakang kota. Golongan yang ketiga ialah orang – orang Melayu rapat dengan istana serta mendapat pendidikan Inggeris. Oleh sebab mereka menikmati kedudukan dan kemudahan tradisional serta pendidikan moden, maka golongan ini, dengan hubungan rapatnya dengan penjajah, menjadi golongan yang dominan dalam perjuangan nasionalisme Melayu.
