David Barton asserts his moral rights as author 

He accuses Victoria Walker and Charlotte Walker (authors of the Walkermaths Workbooks) and produced by Cengage (an Australian publisher) of plagiarism of material he created.

Definition: 'theft': taking property that does not belong to you.

Definition: 'plagiarism': theft and appropriation of intellectual property created by other parties, without permission or payment.

Plagiarism is at best unethical, and calls into question the integrity and professionalism of those who breach the moral rights of others.  'Plagiarism is an act of forgery, piracy, and fraud and is stated to be a serious crime of academia' (Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5122250/)

The new Gamma Mathematics (4th Edition) has now been published.

A complete solution for Level 6 of the New Zealand Mathematics Curriculum, the book covers all of the strands:  Number, Algebra, Geometry, Measurement and Statistics and Probability.

 

 

 

 

New to this edition

 

- The section for each curriculum strand starts with a Chapter on 'the basics'. For many well-prepared students, this will be assumed knowledge from Year 10. Others may benefit from tackling essential material from earlier years that provides a firm grounding before learning at Level 6.

- A new 'Connections' feature for situations where more than one branch of mathematics is involved.

- Expanded coverage of financial mathematics, including Kiwisaver, Buy Now-Pay Later.

- Increased inclusion of Te Reo and Aotearoa content.

- A revamped approach in Statistics and Probability - the emphasis is on interpreting data, comparing samples, and investigating strength of relationships, leading up to informal inference

- Many new exercises and interest features.

What has not changed?

- A rich selection of questions in each exercise, arranged in order of difficulty.

- Plenty of different applications that relate to student experiences in a New Zealand context.

- An eye-catching and readable design, with lavish use of illustrations and colour used in a functional way.

- A continuing emphasis on algebraic and other skills, that are so vital for students who take mathematics to higher levels.
