This site is always growing. What started out as a simple word list on a student’s desktop has evolved into two of the largest dialect dictionaries ever written for the Egyptian and Levantine dialects with plans for additional dialects and a growing Classical Arabic (Fusha) dictionary, all run on a uniquely structured database designed for Arabic’s diglossia. To make it practical and accessible, there are apps and learning resources appropriate for all levels of users.
Arabic is hard and complex, but also rich and deep. Imagine learning tools that map out Arabic for you and help you learn it. That’s what this site is. It has dictionaries for Egyptian, Levantine, and Classical Arabic, and it has apps and learning resources to help you access the language.
These dictionaries are more than just a list of words, they are guides to the Arabic language. The uniquely structured database allows users to search by Arabic word, English word, and Arabic root. There are also thousands of examples to show users how to properly use words and listing common phrases and proverbs.

Though a newer addition, 18.090 has a distinguished origin and is now a permanent part of the curriculum. It was created by professors , all of whom are renowned researchers and dedicated teachers. 18.090 introduction to mathematical reasoning mit
It offers dedicated time to practice writing and analyzing mathematical arguments.
While students can jump directly into subjects like 18.100 or 18.701, the MIT Mathematics Department highlights 18.090 as a strategic choice for those desiring a more gradual introduction to mathematical rigor . It focuses less on specific application and more on the about mathematical connections. Mathematics (Course 18) | MIT Course Catalog

Unlike calculus, which often focuses on finding a numerical answer, this course focuses on why a statement is true and how to construct a logical argument to support it 0.5.1 . Why Take 18.090?
The official required text for 18.090 is often Richard Hammack’s (Third Edition). Remarkably, this textbook is available free online under a Creative Commons license, though MIT students typically purchase a physical copy.
Students are frequently called to the board to present their proofs live. This forces students to think on their feet and defend their logical choices.
Direct proof, proof by contradiction, and proof by induction. 2. Set Theory and Infinities Sets and Subsets: Basic set notation and operations.
