Aerial Refueling: AR) is the act of offloading fuel from one aircraft: the tanker) to another aircraft: the receiver) in mid flight. Meetings between tanker and receiver aircraft are referred to as AR events and are scheduled to: escort one or more receivers across a large body of water; refuel one or more receivers; or train receiver pilots, tanker pilots, and boom operators. In order to efficiently execute the Aerial Refueling Mission, the Air Mobility Command: AMC) of the United States Air Force: USAF) depends on computer models to help it make tanker basing decisions, plan tanker sorties, schedule aircraft, …
Properties Of Truncated Toeplitz Operators, Nicholas Sedlock
Properties Of Truncated Toeplitz Operators, Nicholas Sedlock
All Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)
We discuss the multiplication of truncated Toeplitz operators: or TTOs) on backward shift invariant subspaces of the Hardy space of the unit disc. Specifically we discuss when the product of two TTOs is itself a TTO, finding an equivalent to a similar result of Brown and Halmos for ordinary Toeplitz operators. This leads us to investigate the commutants of certain rank-one perturbations of the compressed shift operator, deriving a symbol calculus for TTOs, as well as several other results.

An Examination Of The Correlation Between Ninth Grade Mathematics Grades And Student Performance On The Mathematics Portion Of The California High School Exit Examination, Andrea Lynn Steffan
An Examination Of The Correlation Between Ninth Grade Mathematics Grades And Student Performance On The Mathematics Portion Of The California High School Exit Examination, Andrea Lynn Steffan
Theses and Dissertations
This study examines the relationship between ninth graders’ math course grades (passing or failing) and future performance on the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE). Although correlative data is not predictive, it is able to give a sense of which students one can expect to be successful and which students are more likely to benefit from interventions before taking the CAHSEE. This information can be used to ensure that those students needing intervention receive appropriate interventions before sitting for the CAHSEE exam for the first time in March of their 10th grade year. This study also examines to what extent …

The Effects Of Folding-In Of Basic Mathematics Facts For Students With Disabilities, Tamara D. Bertini, Dara Coffrey, Kristine D. Swain
Special Education and Communication Disorders Faculty Publications
Research in the area of elementary mathematics has been limited in recent years. Direct instruction methods, including drill tasks, have been recommended for elementary students who have mathematics difficulties. This project involves two studies that examined the effectiveness of a specific direct instruction intervention, Folding-In, on the math computation achievement of elementary students. Weekly Curriculum-based measurement (CBM) progress monitoring data, as well as achievement test data, were used to monitor the effectiveness of the intervention, with improvements noted in math fact fluency in both a university-based clinical tutoring and a classroom intervention setting.
Elliptic Curves And Cryptography, Senorina Ramos Vazquez
Elliptic Curves And Cryptography, Senorina Ramos Vazquez
Master's Theses
In this expository thesis we study elliptic curves and their role in cryptography. In doing so we examine an intersection of linear algebra, abstract algebra, number theory, and algebraic geometry, all of which combined provide the necessary background. First we present background information on rings, fields, groups, group actions, and linear algebra. Then we delve into the structure and classification of finite fields as well as construction of finite fields and computation in finite fields. We next explore logarithms in finite fields and introduce the Diffie-Hellman key exchange system. Subsequently, we take a look at the projective and affine planes …
Inquiry Based Mathematics Instruction Versus Traditional Mathematics Instruction: The Effect On Student Understanding And Comprehension In An Eighth Grade Pre-Algebra Classroom, Kyle Ferguson
Master of Education Research Theses
This quantitative study provides information obtained through the use of inquiry-based mathematics instruction verses traditional mathematics instruction. The use of each curriculum was implemented into two classrooms of eighth grade pre-algebra students. The study was based on data collected before and after each of the two units of study. Fifty-two suburban eighth grade students represented the sample population. Results of the SPSS analysis showed that both classes made improvement from their pre-test to their post-test for both units but students receiving instruction through inquiry-based instruction showed significantly more improvement on the second unit. These results can be useful for educators …

International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
After two decades of work, many in the SoTL community are pondering the future of the SoTL movement. Will it sustain its influence? Will it continue to attract new participants? What role should the disciplines play? From the perspective of mathematics, this paper examines efforts by the Carnegie Academy and individuals within the mathematical community to build disciplinary support for the scholarship of teaching and learning. The authors, both mathematicians and Carnegie scholars, restrict their observations to the efforts undertaken in the United States during the last decade and examine the situation in mathematics in greater depth than has heretofore …
The Consequence Of Human Differences, Jospeh Vining
The Consequence Of Human Differences, Jospeh Vining
Articles
This essay explores the ways in which the recognition of individual and person in the legal form of thought distinguishes it from forms of thought in evolutionary biology and mathematics that are put forward as means to a complete picture of the world. The essay observes that the legal form of thought is in fact deeply involved in our modern understanding of Nature itself.
