Methods of Optimization in Operations Research
ISBN: 9783639191967 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For decision making optimization plays the central role. In our time to take any decision, we use most modern scientific methods based on computer implementations. We know that, for solving Mathematical Programming problem various algorithms can be used, but only few of the methods will be affective for solving problems. Usually none of the algorithms have no relation with others and there is no universal algorithm to solve the problems. In this book first, we have shown how to formulate a business problem into a Mathematical Programming problem and next compare some methods of solving such...

Teachers' task practices in relation to teachers' knowledge in Nigeria
ISBN: 9783639354102 / Angielski / Miękka / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The study reported in this book focused on teachers task practices in relation to teachers knowledge. The current mathematics curricula around the globe call for learning experiences, particularly tasks that support learners active participation in developing mathematical ideas in the classroom. Tasks differ in qualities and possibilities for learners participation and thus, teachers regularly make choices in terms of tasks for learners to work on. The criteria that inform teachers choices of tasks, how teachers and students work with the selected tasks in class, how teacher knowledge is...

Proportionality, Steepness, and Slope in the Middle Grades
ISBN: 9783838390628 / Angielski / Miękka / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The learning of slope is important in school algebra, and understanding the concept of slope requires knowledge of proportional reasoning and steepness. This mixed-methods study examines middle school participants' abilities to solve steepness problems in three different contexts and of varying difficulty levels, the connections between proportionality and steepness that middle school participants exhibit, and the strategies which middle school participants use to solve steepness problems. It was concluded that participants' abilities to solve steepness problems are related to their abilities...

Algorithms for Toeplitz Matrices with Applications to Image Deblurring
ISBN: 9783844314267 / Angielski / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this thesis, we present the O(n log DEGREES2 n) superfast linear least squares Schur algorithm(ssschur). The algorithm we describe illustrates a fast way of solving linear equations or linear least squares problems with low displacement rank. This algorithm is based on the O(n DEGREES2) Schur algorithm, sped up via FFT. The algorithm solves an ill-conditioned Toeplitz-like system using Tikhonov regularization. The regularized system solved is Toeplitz-like and is of displacement rank, 4. In this thesis, we also show the effect of the choice of the regularization parameter on the quality of...

Periodic solutions of some Nonlinear Boundary Value Problems of ODE's
ISBN: 9783844317602 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Existence of periodic solutions for higher order ordinary differential equations by the use of Leray- Schauder fixed-point technique depended mainly on the availability of suitable boundedness results. In some cases however, boundedness results were very difficult to establish because of the nature of the Lyapunov functions involved. In this thesis, existence results have been obtained using the Leray- Schauder fixed point technique and the integrated equations for the more general equations of the form: ... x + f (x]) + a1x? + a2x = p (t) x(4) + g ( ... x) + b1x] + b2x? + b3x = p (t) x(5) +...

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...
