Interpolation Of Operator Spaces On Locally Compact Groups., Gang. Zhou Jan 2002

Interpolation Of Operator Spaces On Locally Compact Groups., Gang. Zhou

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In this thesis we explore the operator space structure on the spaces LpG (1 ≤ p ≤ infinity ) on locally compact groups G. On any locally compact group G there are Banach spaces LpG (1 ≤ p ≤ infinity ). There is an inborn operator space structure for LinfinityG ; as pre-dual of LinfinityG ,L1 G has an operator space structure. In order to get the operator space structure on spaces LpG (1 < p < infinity ), we use the complex interpolation method. The main contribution of this thesis is to give the explicit form of the LpG operator space structure and verify that what we get is consistent with the conventions of operator spaces.Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics.

Gender And Achievement In Mathematical Problem Solving And Attributions For Mathematical Achievement In Grade Three Students., Melissa Rae. Farrand Jan 2002

Gender And Achievement In Mathematical Problem Solving And Attributions For Mathematical Achievement In Grade Three Students., Melissa Rae. Farrand

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This causal comparative study was designed to investigate students' mathematical problem solving achievement and attributions for success and failure in mathematics by gender. Sixty-two third grade students completed a mathematics problem solving test. There were no significant differences in mathematical problem solving achievement by gender. The students' perceptions of the causes of their performance in mathematics were measured using the Mathematics Attribution Scale (MAS). The students rated the strength of each attribute as an explanation for failure and success events. There were no significant differences for failure events by gender. A statistical significance between gender and attributions for success was …
