Fractions Essentials Workbook with Answers by Chris Mcmullen

The author, Chris McMullen, Ph.D., has over twenty years of experience teaching math skills to physics students. He prepared this comprehensive workbook to share his strategies for mastering fractions. With 20 chapters and 250 pages, this workbook covers a variety of essential fractions skills, including:

• fractions, decimals, and percentages
• how to find a common denominator
• repeating decimals
• adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions
• converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions
• solving problems with ratios or proportions
• word problems
• long division with remainders
• reducing fractions
• finding reciprocals
• what a fraction means visually

This workbook includes a pretest and a posttest to help assess student learning. Comparing pretest and posttest scores helps to measure how much students have learned by using this workbook. Teachers, parents, and even students may find this helpful

Chris McMullen is a physics professor at Louisiana's Northwestern State University. He graduated with a Ph.D. In 2002, he received his Ph.D. in phenomenological high-energy physics (particle physics) from Oklahoma State University. He got his Master's degree in the study of electron spin resonance at California State University, Northridge, where he was born and raised. His area of expertise is the Large Hadron Collider, and he has written multiple papers on the chances for discovering huge superstring-inspired additional dimensions at the LHC.

To convey his enthusiasm for the geometry and physics of the fourth dimension, Dr. McMullen created The Graphic Guide to Extra Dimensions, Volumes 1 and 2. Full-Color Illustrations of the Fourth Dimension, Volumes 1 and 2, are two volumes he authored to help demonstrate the geometry of a fourth dimension of space. When Dr. McMullen first read Rudy Rucker's introduction to the subject in high school, he was enthralled by the concept of a fourth dimension of space. He was working on his Ph.D. at the time.

When Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, and Dvali published a notable technical study motivating huge superstring-inspired additional dimensions in particle physics, the concept of the fourth dimension was changed from philosophy to a scientifically plausible science. Dr. McMullen has written these books for a public readership to share his enthusiasm for the math and physics of extra dimensions. May your consideration of a fourth dimension of space boost the dimensionality of your thoughts, is one of his favorite sayings.
