Forming the concept of parameter through the work with computer algebra software.(Report)
Feb 01, 2009; Wadon-Kasprzak, Katarzyna ... 1. Introduction Many researchers investigated opportunities of integration technology into mathematics education. Some of them were interested in answering the question how the use of computer algebra can contribute to understanding of mathematical concepts (Drijvers, 2003, ...
Enhancing understanding and constructing knowledge in graph theory and combinatorial optimization within the 'graphs' multimedia application.(Report)
Feb 01, 2009; Milkova, Eva ... 1 Introduction Information technology has substantially influenced education. Students find modern technology very handy when looking up things of their own interest. Teachers should take advantage of this fact and try to prepare multimedia study material which optimizes ...
Two walls and two ladders--a calculus problem.(Report)
Feb 01, 2009; Gerlach, Jurgen ... 1 Introduction This paper deals with the following problem: A moat of width W is secured by two walls of height [H.sub.1] and [H.sub.2]. Two ladders reach across the moat, one from each side, touching at the tips (see Figure 2). We seek to minimize the sum of the ...
An algorithmic approach to Chinese lattice design.(Report)
Feb 01, 2009; Majewski, Miroslaw ... 1 Introduction The climate of South-East Asia is hot and humid. For this reason, traditional architecture in all the countries in this region is very spacious and contains a lot of openings. In order to protect the inhabitants and to stop birds and small animals entering houses, ...
MathML and JAVA Implementation in Linear Algebra.(Report)
Feb 01, 2009; Kim, Duk-Sun ... 1 Introduction Learning environments for mathematics have been dramatically developed over the last decade [2, 3]. Throughout Calculus reform (1) and the ATLAST project (2), students have been affected by the changes, and teachers of linear algebra, in particular, are expected ...
Conditions for effective use of interactive on-line learning objects: the case of a fractions computer-based learning sequence.(Report)
Feb 01, 2009; Bruce, Catherine D. ... 1. Introduction Teachers and researchers have typically described fractions learning as a challenging area of the mathematics curriculum (e.g., Gould, Outhred, & Mitchelmore, 2006, Hiebert 1988, NAEP, 2005). The understanding of part/whole relationships, procedural complexity, ...
Some geometric interpretations of the total distances among curves and surfaces.(Report)
Feb 01, 2009; Yang, Wei-Chi ... 1 Introduction Throughout this paper, curves are non-intersecting in the plane [R.sup.2] and surfaces are non-intersecting in the space [R.sup.3]. In Sections 2 and 3, we give motivations and examples of finding the global squared distance between two curves or surfaces. Finding ...
