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) +...

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...

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 ...

Classroom Discourse and Teacher Talk
ISBN: 9783838345802 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The current process of immigration influx poses real challenges to many countries educational systems. The need to provide equal access to quality education for diverse student population becomes imperative. Thus, this study examines the features of classroom discourse in eight Algebra I classes from two urban high schools with diverse student populations. In particular, by using the discursive analysis perspective, the communication between teachers and students is examined. The study investigates to what extent teachers patterns of discourse change as a result of the number of ELLs present...

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...

Coping with Calculus
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...
