Obtaining Estimators From Correlation Coefficients: The Correlation Estimation System And R, Rudy Gideon
Obtaining Estimators From Correlation Coefficients: The Correlation Estimation System And R, Rudy Gideon
Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
Correlation coefficients are generally viewed as summaries, causing them to be underutilized. Creating functions from them leads to their use in diverse areas of statistics. Because there are many correlation coefficients (see, for example, Gideon (2007)) this extension makes possible a very broad range of statistical estimators that rivals least squares. The whole area could be called a "Correlation Estimation System." This paper outlines some of the numerous possibilities for using the system and gives some illustrative examples. Detailed explanations are developed in earlier papers. The formulae to make possible both the estimation and some of the computer coding to …

Identifying Neurotransmitter Spill-Over In Hippocampal Field Recordings, Emily Stone, Katie Hoffman, Michael P. Kavanaugh
Identifying Neurotransmitter Spill-Over In Hippocampal Field Recordings, Emily Stone, Katie Hoffman, Michael P. Kavanaugh
Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences Faculty Publications
A model of synaptic and extra-synaptic excitatory signaling in the hippocampus is presented. The model is used to analytically evaluate the potential contributions of homosynaptic and heterosynaptic glutamate spill-over to receptor signaling during an electrophysiological experiment in which glutamate transporters are pharmacologically blocked. Inhibition of glutamate uptake selectively prolongs the decay kinetics of the second field excitatory postsynaptic potential evoked by paired pulse stimulation of Schaffer collateral axons in area CA1. The model includes AMPA and NMDA glutamate receptors, and the removal of glutamate by transporters and diffusion. We establish analytically that the prolongation cannot be caused by local …

Inquiry- Without Posing Questions?, Helle Alrø, Marit Johnsen-Høines
The Mathematics Enthusiast
This article discusses what inquiry conversations could mean when learning mathematics.3 Referring to Gadamar’s distinction of true and apparent questions it is discussed what it takes to be inquiring and if this attitude necessarily includes posing questions. Which qualities are expressed in inquiring questions, and what other ways of communicating may have an inquiring function in learning conversations? The intention is to develop and frame the concept of ’inquiry’ in learning conversations, and this is the focus of analysis of an authentic classroom situation, where teacher and pupils are exploring the concept of ’volume’. Further, this analysis informs a …
Investigating Engineers’ Needs As A Part Of Designing A Professional Development Program For Engineers Who Are To Become Mathematics Teachers, Ragnhild Johanne Rensaa
Investigating Engineers’ Needs As A Part Of Designing A Professional Development Program For Engineers Who Are To Become Mathematics Teachers, Ragnhild Johanne Rensaa
The Mathematics Enthusiast
The average age for teachers in mathematics and physics in Norway is about 60 (Sørensen, 2003) and few students taking a masters degree in a science subject choose a career as a teacher (KD, 2006). This implies that there may be a critical lack of science teachers in schools in the near future (Næss, 2002). At the same time, rather many graduated engineers – who have worked as engineers sometimes several years – want to contribute to the educational setting by taking part time jobs as teachers; lector-II (Vassnes, 2008). To combine this supply and demand for qualified teachers in …
The Role Of Theory When Studying Epistemological Characterizations Of Mathematics Lecture(R)S, Magnus Österholm
The Role Of Theory When Studying Epistemological Characterizations Of Mathematics Lecture(R)S, Magnus Österholm
The Mathematics Enthusiast
The study presented in this paper is a contribution to the scientific discussion about the role and use of theory in mathematics education research. In particular, focus is here on the use of and comparison between different types of theories and frameworks, which is discussed primarily through the example of an empirical study examining what types of messages about mathematics are conveyed in lectures. The main purpose of this paper is to examine how different types of theories and frameworks can affect different parts of the research process.

University Mathematics Teachers' Views On The Required Reasoning In Calculus Exams, Ewa Bergqvist
University Mathematics Teachers' Views On The Required Reasoning In Calculus Exams, Ewa Bergqvist
The Mathematics Enthusiast
Students often use imitative reasoning, i.e. copy algorithms or recall facts, when solving mathematical tasks. Research shows that this type of imitative reasoning might weaken the students' understanding of the underlying mathematical concepts. In a previous study, the author classified tasks from 16 final exams from introductory calculus courses at Swedish universities. The results showed that it was possible to pass 15 of the exams, and solve most of the tasks, using imitative reasoning. This study examines the teachers' views on the reasoning that students are expected to perform during their own and others mathematics exams. The results indicate that …
Beyond Post-Modernity In Mathematics Education, Ole Skovsmose
Beyond Post-Modernity In Mathematics Education, Ole Skovsmose
The Mathematics Enthusiast
A radical form of postmodernity is presented with reference to Nietzsche’s ideas with respect to truth, knowledge, sciences, progress, democracy, and ethical values in general. Thereafter is presented Foucault’s archaeology of knowledge. This brings us forward to the notion of genealogy, which is a defining idea for the postmodern conception of critique. However, it is emphasised that a critique can address the generativity of mathematical rationality by considering mathematics-based fabrications. Finally, imagination is presented as yet another feature of a critical enterprise. It is illustrated how such a three dimensional critical enterprise is relevant for both mathematics and mathematics education. …
Loss Of Dimension In The History Of Calculus And In Student Reasoning, Robert Ely
Loss Of Dimension In The History Of Calculus And In Student Reasoning, Robert Ely
The Mathematics Enthusiast
Research indicates that calculus students often imagine objects losing a dimension entirely when a limit is taken, and that this image serves as an obstacle to their understanding of the fundamental theorem of calculus. Similar imagery, in the form of “indivisibles”, was similarly unsupportive of the development of the fundamental theorem in the mid-1600s, unlike the more powerful subsequent imagery of infinitesimals. This parallel between student issues and historical issues suggests several implications for how to provide students with imagery that is more productive for understanding the fundamental theorem, such as the imagery of infinitesimals or the more modern quantitative …
Demographics Of Self-Selected Participants In Mathematical Tracks In Swedish Upper Secondary School, Linda Mattsson
Demographics Of Self-Selected Participants In Mathematical Tracks In Swedish Upper Secondary School, Linda Mattsson
The Mathematics Enthusiast
This study investigates the three demographic factors gender, geographical origin and parents educational level among self-selected students in mathematical tracks in Swedish Upper Secondary School (n=147). Comparisons are made, through statistical tests of significance, with corresponding student distributions on the closely related Natural Science program (n = 1528). Data is obtained from Statistics Sweden. Results confirm that females are under-represented in mathematical tracks (p<0,01) and that parents of students in mathematical tracks have higher educational level than parents of students in the comparison group (p<0,05). Results do not show that students with foreign background are underrepresented in mathematical tracks, but raise questions about under-representation of Swedish students. Possible implications of these findings for these and similar programs are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the following questions: What factors leads to success in mathematics, and how can these success factors and qualities be described? Will the teacher’s education and pedagogical praxis have an impact on good learning results? We report results from a case-control association study on among high achievement classes in mathematics in Norway. The data were collected from matched pairs of schools, paired on the basis of location and socioeconomic status. The questionnaire was first distributed to teachers in 38 Norwegian secondary schools at grade 9, which have had repeated success in the annual …

From Designing To Implementing Mathematical Tasks: Investigating The Changes In The Nature Of The T-Shirt Task, Claire Vaugelade Berg
The Mathematics Enthusiast
From looking at research literature it is possible to see that research on design, implementation and analysis of mathematical tasks is an actual theme: there is a special issue of the Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education (2007) with Anne Watson, John Mason and Orit Zaslavsky as editors (Watson and Mason, 2007), a book published by Clarke, Grevholm and Millman (2009) concerning “Tasks in primary mathematics teacher education” and under ICME 11 in Mexico (2008) the title of one of the Topic Study Groups was “Research and development in task design and analysis”. In addition several substantial research projects conducted in …
Values In Effective Mathematics Lessons In Sweden: What Do They Tell Us?, Aihui Peng, Mikaela Nyroos
Values In Effective Mathematics Lessons In Sweden: What Do They Tell Us?, Aihui Peng, Mikaela Nyroos
The Mathematics Enthusiast
This study aims to examine values in effective mathematics lessons in Sweden from the perspectives of students in different groups and their teachers. By using methods with lesson observations, student focus group interviews and teacher interviews, it shows that instructional explanation and classroom atmosphere with quietness are shared-values of students and their teachers. The findings propose some crucial issues which related to how mathematics teaching could be adjusted to different students’ learning conditions and whether it needs more instructional explanation in mathematics teaching in Sweden.
Evaluating Mersenne Primes Using A Single Quadrant Expanding Square, Cory P. Daignault, Douglas Sprague, Joe L. Mott
Evaluating Mersenne Primes Using A Single Quadrant Expanding Square, Cory P. Daignault, Douglas Sprague, Joe L. Mott
The Mathematics Enthusiast
By forming a table of sequential odd numbers using a single quadrant expanding square pattern it was observed that multiple Mersenne primes fall into the first column. We prove that the Mersenne primes which fall into the first column will be of the form p = 3 mod 4, where p is the Mersenne prime exponent. Focusing the search of primes to those which fall into the first column of this square may be a means to increase the speed at which large primes are discovered.

Monitoring Glacier Surface Seismicity In Time And Space Using Rayleigh Waves, T. D. Mikesell, K. Van Wijk, M. M. Haney, J. H, Bradford, H. P. Marshall, Joel T. Harper
Geosciences Faculty Publications
Sliding glaciers and brittle ice failure generate seismic body and surface wave energy characteristic to the source mechanism. Here we analyze continuous seismic recordings from an array of nine short-period passive seismometers located on Bench Glacier, Alaska (USA) (61.033N, 145.687W). We focus on the arrival-time and amplitude information of the dominant Rayleigh wave phase. Over a 46-hour period we detect thousands of events using a cross-correlation based event identification method. Travel-time inversion of a subset of events (7% of the total) defines an active crevasse, propagating more than 200 meters in three hours. From the Rayleigh wave amplitudes, we estimate …
Time-Dependent Density-Functional-Theory Calculation Of High-Order-Harmonic Generation Of H-2, Xi Chu, Gerrit C. Groenenboom
Time-Dependent Density-Functional-Theory Calculation Of High-Order-Harmonic Generation Of H-2, Xi Chu, Gerrit C. Groenenboom
Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Publications
The observation of the isotope effect in the high-order-harmonic generation (HHG) of H-2 presents a challenge for time-dependent density-functional-theory (TDDFT) methods, since this effect is related to the dynamics of the ion created in the tunneling ionization step of HHG and it depends on the harmonic order. As an initial step toward describing this effect within current computational capacity, we benchmark a method in which the nuclear and electronic degrees of freedom are separated and both treated quantum mechanically. For the electrons two TDDFT formalisms are adopted. Although the ion-dynamics effect is not described in our method, it reproduces the …
