“Mathematics knows no races or geographic boundaries; for mathematics, the cultural world is one country.” – David Hilbert Differential equations are equations of one or more variables that involve both functions and their derivatives. These equations have many applications to the everyday “non-math” world, including modeling in engineering, physics, biology, chemistry, and economics. Differential equations are used when a situation arises where one needs to study a continuously changing quantity (expressed as a function) and its rate of change (expressed through its derivatives). The solutions to differential equations are functions that make the original equation hold true, and they can …
Examining The Validity Of The Spring 2007 Math 1050 Common Final, Angela K. Brock
Examining The Validity Of The Spring 2007 Math 1050 Common Final, Angela K. Brock
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
I began this study wanting to know more about the Math 1050 Common Final. I've heard so many negative things about the class from students, I wondered if the common final, which has so much influence on students' grades, is actually valid. A measurement is valid to the degree that it is both reliable and relevant, so I needed to address both relevance and reliability. To do this, I began by finding a reliability coefficient for the multiple choice section. I then analyzed each item with respect to difficulty, discrimination and efficiency. To determine content and learning level relevance, I …

The Philosophy Of Mathematics, Erin Wilding-Martin
Sabbaticals
The philosophy of mathematics considers what is behind the math that we do. What is mathematics? Is it some cosmic truth we discover, or is it created by humans? Do mathematical objects such as numbers and functions really exist, or are they just symbols we have invented? Two of the great debates in the history of mathematical philosophy center around ontology and epistemology. Where did mathematics come from? How do we know that it is true?
Where did mathematics come from? Is it discovered or created? Ontological questions are concerned with the nature and status of mathematical objects. Some people …

In this paper, we study the matrix representations of compressions of Toeplitz operators to the finite dimensional model spaces H2ƟBH2, where B is a finite Blaschke product. In particular, we determine necessary and sufficient conditions - in terms of the matrix representation - of when a linear transformation on H2ƟBH2 is the compression of a Toeplitz operator. This result complements a related result of Sarason [6].
