Association Between Intended And Attained Algebra Curriculum In Timss 1998/1999 For Ten Countries, Alla Routitsky, Susan Zammit
Dr Alla Routitsky
The Third International Mathematics and Science Study- Repeat 1998/1999 (TIMSS) assessed the mathematics and science achievement of students in their second year of high school. In addition to achievement tests, extensive information was collected from students and teachers. Of the 38 countries that took part, the overall results in mathematics of eleven countries, including Australia were not statistically different. Following the TIMSS research model, this article examines the association between three levels of curriculum, the intended curriculum, the implemented and the attained curriculum. In particular, this paper compares the achievement in four algebra topics for those students whose teachers reported …
Pattern Recognition For Electric Power System Protection, Yong Sheng
Pattern Recognition For Electric Power System Protection, Yong Sheng
Doctoral Dissertations
The objective of this research is to demonstrate pattern recognition tools such as decision trees (DTs) and neural networks that will improve and automate the design of relay protection functions in electric power systems. Protection functions that will benefit from the research include relay algorithms for high voltage transformer protection (TP) and for high impedance fault (HIF) detection. A methodology, which uses DTs and wavelet analysis to distinguish transformer internal faults from other conditions that are easily mistaken for internal faults, has been developed. Also, a DT based solution is proposed to discriminate HIFs from normal operations that may confuse …

Writing Mathematics-A Nut And A Bolt Of Style, Frank A. Farris
Mathematics and Computer Science
As editor of Mathematics Magazine, I see a lot of manuscripts. Some of them are written with a charming sense of style, but many of them leave me thinking that the author's only concern was to set out the mathematics clearly. This is a fine place to start, but the tradition of the Magazine is to offer things that people will enjoy reading, and this requires more than clarity. Let me explain an important step authors can take in order to make their work more attractive.

Uncertainty Assessment For Cfd Using Error Transport Equation, Gusheng Hu
Uncertainty Assessment For Cfd Using Error Transport Equation, Gusheng Hu
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
While Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is making extensive use of the power of computational technology, it is also facing a serious problem arising from the so-called numerical uncertainty. The overall uncertainty (or the global error) involved in CFD results can be due to different sources mainly contributed by (i) discretization error (or solution error due to incomplete grid convergence), (ii) iteration convergence error, (iii) grid generation errors (skewness, grid aspect and expansion ratio, coordinate transformation etc.), and (iv) round-off errors. In this study an in-depth discussion concerning these issues is presented with an emphasis on the discretization error in regard …

An Examination Of Gender Differences In Today's Mathematics Classrooms: Exploring Single-Gender Mathematics Classrooms, Celeste E. Dunlap
An Examination Of Gender Differences In Today's Mathematics Classrooms: Exploring Single-Gender Mathematics Classrooms, Celeste E. Dunlap
Master of Education Research Theses
Much research identifies a gender gap in mathematics, and some research points to single-gender math classrooms as a solution to the math gender divide. The author conducted a seven week study in which she divided fifty fifth grade students into singlegender mathematics classes. She wanted to examine if single-gender math classes affected the math achievement and attitudes of her female students. Upon completion of the study the author found there was no statistical significance in the girls’ achievement between a single-gender classroom and a coeducational classroom. There was a significant difference in the girls’ perceptions as to how they best …
Cognitive Model Of New Data On Human Problem Solving, Eric Fleischman
Cognitive Model Of New Data On Human Problem Solving, Eric Fleischman
Senior Scholar Papers
During the educational process there are a multitude of strategies that educators may employ in order to maximize learning among their pupils. For symbolic problem-solving skills (such as mathematics), a particularly effective technique is to have students study worked-out example problems and unworked practice problems. Research shows that students who explain parts of worked examples to themselves learn more effectively than students who do not. This is called the self-explanation effect (Chi et al., 1989; Fergusson Hessler & de Jong, 1990; Pirolli & Bielaczyc, 1989). In summary, this research proved that students learn most effectively by studying examples when they …
Reduction Of Boolean Networks To Scalar Form., Christopher Farrow
Reduction Of Boolean Networks To Scalar Form., Christopher Farrow
Student Work
This thesis explores methods for finding cycles in synchronous Boolean networks. There is a brief survey the functional iteration method for finding cycles in a synchronous Boolean network. This method can, in theory, completely describe a Boolean network, but is inefficient and unfeasible in practice, especially for large networks. A more direct computational approach, referred to as the computational iterative method, is introduced and the results of this method as applied to three node synchronous Boolean networks are presented. This analysis reveals interesting behavior about these simple networks that in some cases can be generalized to networks of any size. …

Chebyshev Pseudospectral Methods For Conservation Laws With Source Terms And Applications To Multiphase Flow, Scott Alan Sarra
Chebyshev Pseudospectral Methods For Conservation Laws With Source Terms And Applications To Multiphase Flow, Scott Alan Sarra
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Pseudospectral methods are well known to produce superior results for the solution of partial differential equations whose solutions have a certain amount of regularity. Recent advances have made possible the use of spectral methods for the solution of conservation laws whose solutions may contain shocks. We use a recently described Super Spectral Viscosity method to obtain stable approximations of Systems of Nonlinear Hyperbolic Conservation Laws. A recently developed postprocessing method, which is theoretically capable of completely removing the Gibbs phenomenon from the Super Spectral Viscosity approximation, is examined. The postprocessing method has shown great promise when applied in some simple …
Whitney Preserving Maps, Benjamin Espinoza
Whitney Preserving Maps, Benjamin Espinoza
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
We connect Whitney levels and continuous functions between continua to obtain the new notion of Whitney preserving maps. We introduce the basic properties of Whitney preserving maps. We give conditions on a continuum X in order that a Whitney preserving map f from X to the unit interval is a homeomorphism, and we give examples to show the conditions are necessary and that the result is false when the range of the map is the unit circle. Concerning the structure of any continuum X, we show that if A is a continuous decomposition of X into nondegenerate terminal continua, then …

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Bondy conjectured that if G is a simple 2-connected graph with n ≥ 3 vertices, then the edges of G can be covered by at most 2n-33 cycles. In Chapter 2, a result on small cycle cover is obtained and we also show that the result is as best as possible.;Thomassen conjectured that every 4-connected line graph is hamiltonian. In Chapters 3 and 4, we apply Catlin's reduction method to study cycles in line graphs. Results about hamiltonian connectivity of line graphs and 3-edge-connected graphs are obtained. Several former results are extended.;Jaeger, Linial, Payan and Tarsi introduced group coloring in …

Metaphors Of Mathematics In Corneille's Theater, Nina Ekstein
Metaphors Of Mathematics In Corneille's Theater, Nina Ekstein
Modern Languages and Literatures Faculty Research
Mathematical metaphors are a distinctive and characteristic feature of Corneille’s theater, closely tied to his dramatic aesthetics. I divide these metaphors into two groups, identities and combinatorics. The field of identities deals with different kinds of equations, from the level of language, where elements are equated or placed in some other relationship that can be expressed mathematically, to the level of plot, where, for example, the search for identity (e.g. who is Héraclius?) resembles an algebraic equation. Combinatorics involves the arrangements and combinations of elements, and finds its greatest application here in the question of the constitution of couples to …
Zero-Cycles And K-Theory On Normal Surfaces., Amalendu Krishna Dr.
Zero-Cycles And K-Theory On Normal Surfaces., Amalendu Krishna Dr.
Doctoral Theses
The main theme of this thesis is to study the theory of algebraic cycles on singular varieties over a field. This has been studied before extensively by Collins, Barbieri-Viale, Levine, Srinivas among several others. Our interest in this thesis is to address some well known problems in the theory of zero-cycles over nominal varieties. The use of K- theoretic techniques in our proofs illustrate the interplay between the study of algebraic cycles and algebraic K-theory.For a quasi-projective surface X over a field k, we define FA,(X) to be the subgroup of the Grothendieck group Ko(X) of vector bundies generated by …

Integrating Mathematics, Technical Writing Skills And Authentic Assessment Into A Ninth And Tenth Grade Woodshop Curriculum, John Lawrence Mccarley
Graduate Student Projects
For this project an integrated woodshop curriculum containing elements of procedural writing and mathematics instruction was created. The curriculum design was based on the constructivist concept that students learn more efficiently when personal meaning is attached to the content presented. That concept was used to connect mathematics and writing to realistic applications in a woodshop setting. Support for integration of various content areas into a single curriculum is supported in the academic literature. Specific exercises to attain specific outcomes are discussed in the literature, and adaptations of those processes were incorporated in the project.
