Mechanical linkages, interactive geometry software, and argumentation
ISBN: 9783838300139 / Angielski / Miękka / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is proof which sets mathematics apart from the empirical sciences, and forms the foundation of our mathematical knowledge, yet students often fail to understand the purpose of proof, they are unable to construct proofs, and instead readily accept empirical evidence or the authority of textbooks or teachers. This research focuses on the role of mechanical linkages (devices based on systems of hinged rods) and interactive geometric software as cognitive bridges between empirical justification and deductive reasoning. The provision of motivating contexts was found to foster conjecturing and...

Understanding Equitable Mathematics Pedagogy
ISBN: 9783838309897 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book describes a qualitative study of three secondary mathematics teachers constructions of equity pedagogy enacted in mathematics education, equitable mathematics pedagogy (EMP), and proposed educational change toward EMP. A pedagogical approach woven from problem-posing and constructive listening was utilized to encourage the participants to reflect upon, deconstruct, and explicate their beliefs about equity enacted in commonplace mathematical teaching situations. Analysis of data was grounded in a process of building a model of each participants constructions of EMP while ...

Conceptual Teaching Strategies in a Computer-Based Math Curriculum
ISBN: 9783838348902 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book summarizes a yearlong study that investigated the various strategies implemented by teachers in a computer-based Mathematics course delivery model. This model was a course design that included whole class instruction time as well as time spent (with teachers' assistance) utilizing computer software to practice exercises, submit homework assignments, and take quizzes and tests. The author surveyed the teachers involved in this model to determine the proportion of teachers that opt to support a conceptual agenda as opposed to those that had a procedural focus in their instruction....

The Role and Use of Sketchpad as a Modeling Tool in Secondary Schools
ISBN: 9783838352589 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the last decade or two, there has been a discernible move to include modeling in the mathematics curricula in schools. This has come as the result of the demand that society is making on educational institutions to provide workers that are capable of relating theoretical knowledge to that of the real world. Successful industries are those that are able to effectively overcome the complexities of real world problems they encounter on a daily basis. This book focuses, to some extent, on research conducted at a secondary school. The book, initially, looks at the various...

College Students' Knowledge of Functions As Affected By Instruction
ISBN: 9783838392356 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study investigated college students knowledge of functions before and after instruction using the Rule of Three. The Rule of Three is the dictum that functions should be taught symbolically, graphically and numerically, and as many examples as possible should combine all three views. OCallaghan (1998) and Markovits, Eylon, and Bruckheimers (1986) frameworks for examining components of the concept of function were used to investigate the students knowledge. Four students were chosen based on pretest scores, written responses, and scheduling conflicts. Data were collected from translating...

ISBN: 9783843353038 / Angielski / Miękka / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1972 at the age of 32 I won in an open competition an Established Chair of Physics and Astronomy. At that time the only research topic was Experimental Magnetism. This is my second book. The first one, published in England was given the title "Symmetries of the Standard Model of Particle Physics and Beyond." Regarding the book"Coping with Calculus" I believe it has it's origin in our family that always enjoyed walking on holidays in September ending to the Lake district with the Borrowdale Show. Three of our sons did double mathematics in the days when the syllabus contained calculus. Each...

Qualitative Study of Nonlinear Difference Equations
ISBN: 9783843375672 / Angielski / Miękka / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We establish a global convergence result for the higher order difference equation where k is a positive integer and are positive initial conditions and then apply this result to show that, under appropriate hypotheses, every positive solution of the difference equation, converges to a period p solution, where the period p is easily determined in terms of the coefficients. Also we present some known results and derive several new ones on the boundedness and the global stability of the solutions of the difference equation We study the global stability, the boundedness nature, and the periodic...

Study of Some Problems of Non-Newtonian Renier-Rivlin Fluid
ISBN: 9783844300406 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the most successful, fascinating and useful applications of mathematics has been in the study of motions of fluids (gases and liquids).The perfect or ideal fluids are characterized by the assumptions that for then the stress tensor is a linear function of the rate of strain tensor and the stress vector on a plane surface in contact with a fluid is normal to the surface. About seven decades ago phenomena were observed which could not be explained on the assumptions of this theory. When the assumptions of this theory were examined, it was considered feasible to relax the assumption of...

Structural understanding in advanced mathematical thinking
ISBN: 9783844319149 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book presents results of research on how students, future mathematics teachers, come to comprehend a piece of advanced mathematics, so called restricted arithmetic. In particular, it looks into the following questions: Do students use analogies from other familiar structures such as ordinary arithmetic? To what extent do students apply their knowledge from abstract algebra? How does the fact that students are working on their own piece of mathematics as opposed to being introduced to it in a transmissive way, affect their understanding? The practical goal peculiar to restricted arithmetic...

Prospective Teachers Learning Mathematics Trough Mathematical Modeling
ISBN: 9783843374682 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When prospective teachers are engaged in mathematical modeling, a third silent partner - the computer - always plays a role in the didactical contract. It is hard to argue against a solution which was delivered from a computer software. Many students accept and interpret quite useless results from a model which has been used wrongly or been selected by wrong assumptions. This book will give examples from three different but consecutive studies on how prospective teachers learn mathematics through mathematical modeling.
