My Experiences With And Thoughts About Distance Learning, Mike O'Lear
My Experiences With And Thoughts About Distance Learning, Mike O'Lear
Colloquia of the Department of Mathematical Sciences
When I was a full time Instructor at Great Falls COT from 2000 to 2005, the COT "pioneered" some online and hybrid courses offered in the curriculum, including "core" courses in mathematics. After a year or so, at least half of my course load was internet driven (including summer offerings), and when I had a pulmonary embolism I taught all Great Falls COT courses (4) from my home in Missoula the following semester. This colloquium is a summary of my experiences, my successes (few), my failures (many), and what I learned from my experiences teaching distance mathematics core courses.

Complex Dielectric Permittivity Measurements From Ground-Penetrating Radar Data To Estimate Snow Liquid Water Content In The Pendular Regime, John H. Bradford, Joel T. Harper, Joel Brown
Complex Dielectric Permittivity Measurements From Ground-Penetrating Radar Data To Estimate Snow Liquid Water Content In The Pendular Regime, John H. Bradford, Joel T. Harper, Joel Brown
Geosciences Faculty Publications
Monitoring the snow water equivalent (SWE) is critical to effective management of water resources in many parts of the world that depend on the mountain snowpack for water storage. There are currently no methods to remotely sense SWE with accuracy over large lateral distances in the steep and often forested terrain of mountain basins. Previous studies have shown that measurements of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) velocity can provide accurate estimates of SWE in dry snow. Introduction of liquid water into the snowpack results in a three-phase system that cannot be accurately characterized with GPR velocity alone. We show that measuring the …
Continuous Profiles Of Electromagnetic Wave Velocity And Water Content In Glaciers: An Example From Bench Glacier, Alaska, Usa, John H. Bradford, Joshua Nichols, T. Dylan Mikesell, Joel T. Harper
Continuous Profiles Of Electromagnetic Wave Velocity And Water Content In Glaciers: An Example From Bench Glacier, Alaska, Usa, John H. Bradford, Joshua Nichols, T. Dylan Mikesell, Joel T. Harper
Geosciences Faculty Publications
We conducted two-dimensional continuous multi-offset georadar surveys on Bench Glacier, south-central Alaska, USA, to measure the distribution of englacial water. We acquired data with a multi channel 25 MHz radar system using transmitter-receiver offsets ranging from 5 to 150 m. We towed the radar system at 5-10 kmh-1 with a snow machine with transmitter/receiver positions established by geodetic-grade kinematic deferentially corrected GPS (nominal 0.5 m trace spacing). For radar velocity analyses, we employed reflection tomography in the pre-stack depth-migrated domain to attain an estimated 2% velocity uncertainty when averaged over three to five wavelengths. We estimated water content from …

Mathematical Beauty And Its Characteristics- A Study On The Student's Point Of View, Astrid Brinkmann
Mathematical Beauty And Its Characteristics- A Study On The Student's Point Of View, Astrid Brinkmann
The Mathematics Enthusiast
Based on the statement, that the experience of mathematical beauty has a positive influence on students’ motivations and attitudes towards mathematics and its study, the focus of this paper is the aesthetic component of mathematics. First, the role of aesthetics for perception and education is addressed. The appreciation of the beauty of mathematics is one of the wellsprings of this subject, not only in research but also in school education. This should have implications for the teaching of mathematics. However the beauty making elements have not been very well analysed. In particular, it is not clear to what extent the …
From Trapezoids To The Fundamental Theorem Of Calculus, William Gratzer, Srilal Krishnan
From Trapezoids To The Fundamental Theorem Of Calculus, William Gratzer, Srilal Krishnan
The Mathematics Enthusiast
The philosophy of Mathematics Education undergoes changes from the school to college level and students generally have a tough time coping with the transition. It is our endeavor to impress the importance of introducing college level topics at an early stage, so that students are not lost in the transition. Keeping this in mind, we suggest an early exposure to an important topic from Calculus; approximating the area of a planar region. Traditionally this topic is introduced using Riemann Sums but in this paper we try to follow a student’s natural inclination in approximating areas and explain how this approach …
Graph Isomorphisms And Matrix Similarity: Switching Between Representations, Thierry Dana-Picard
Graph Isomorphisms And Matrix Similarity: Switching Between Representations, Thierry Dana-Picard
The Mathematics Enthusiast
A proof whether two graphs (possibly oriented graphs or multigraphs, etc.) are isomorphic or not can be derived by various methods. Some of them are reasonable for small numbers of vertices and/or edges, but not for larger numbers. Switching from iconic representation to a matrix representation transforms the problem of Graph Theory into a problem in Linear Algebra. The support provided by a Computer Algebra System is analyzed, in particular with regard to the building of new mathematical knowledge through a transition from graphical to algebraic representation. Moreover two important issues are discussed: a. the need for more than one …
Two Applications Of Art To Geometry, Viktor Blåsjö
Two Applications Of Art To Geometry, Viktor Blåsjö
The Mathematics Enthusiast
Geometry and art exploit the same source of human pleasure: the exercise of our spatial intuition. It is not surprising, then, that interconnections between them abound. Applications of geometry to art, of which we shall indicate a few, go back at least to Alberti’s De Pictura (1435). But although geometry started out, as it so often does, as a most courteous suitor in its relationship with art, it was soon to be affectionately rewarded. We shall study two of these rewards.

Helping Teachers Un-Structure: A Promising Approach, Eric Hsu, Judy Kysh, Katherine Ramage, Diane Resek
The Mathematics Enthusiast
The amount of overt structure in the presentation of a task affects students’ engagement, creativity, and willingness to tolerate frustration. In a professional development project, with algebra teachers from nine American schools, we tried to help teachers make judicious decisions in their use of structure by having them facilitate low-structure tasks, remove structure from overly structured tasks, and observe “at-risk” students engaged in learning through low-structure tasks. Project schools that worked on structuring generally improved their algebra passing rates, both overall and for African-American students.
Who Can Solve 2x=1? An Analysis Of Cognitive Load Related To Learning Linear Equation Solving, Timo Tossavainen
Who Can Solve 2x=1? An Analysis Of Cognitive Load Related To Learning Linear Equation Solving, Timo Tossavainen
The Mathematics Enthusiast
Using 2x = 1 as an example, we discuss the cognitive load related to learning linear equation solving. In the framework of the Cognitive Load Theory we consider especially the intrinsic cognitive load needed in arithmetical, geometrical and real analytical approach to linear equation solving. This will be done e.g. from the point of view of the conceptual and procedural knowledge of mathematics and the APOS Theory. Basing on our observations, in the end of the paper we design a setting for teaching linear equation solving.

The Contributions Of Comprehension Tests To Cognitive And Affective Development Of Prospective Teachers: A Case Study, Yüksel Dede
The Mathematics Enthusiast
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of comprehension tests while teaching algebra and its effects on students’ success. This study was carried out with 108 third year undergraduate students enrolled in math education in faculty of education. Several data collection instruments were used for gathering data from the participants such as; comprehension test, written documents, semi-structured interviews schedule, and participant and nonparticipant observations sheets. Collected data were subjected to content analysis and triangulation among the data was ensured. Results indicated that three different major categories emerged from the content analysis of the data: (1) measure of …
On The Use Of Realistic Fermi Problems For Introducing Mathematical Modelling In School, Jonas Bergman Ärlebäck
On The Use Of Realistic Fermi Problems For Introducing Mathematical Modelling In School, Jonas Bergman Ärlebäck
The Mathematics Enthusiast
In this paper uses an analytical tool refereed to as the MAD (Modelling Activity Diagram) framework adapted from Schoenfeld’s parsing protocol coding scheme to address the issues of how to introduce mathematical modelling to upper secondary students. The work of three groups of students engaged in solving so called realistic Fermi problems were analysed using this framework, and it was observed that the processes involved in a typical mathematical modelling cycle were richly represented in the groups’ solving processes. The importance of the social interactions within the groups was noted, as well as the extensive use of extramathematical knowledge used …
Intuitions Of "Infinite Numbers": Infinite Magnitude Vs. Infinite Representation, Ami Mamolo
Intuitions Of "Infinite Numbers": Infinite Magnitude Vs. Infinite Representation, Ami Mamolo
The Mathematics Enthusiast
This study examines undergraduate students’ emerging conceptions of infinity as manifested in their engagement with geometric tasks. Students’ attempts to reduce the level of abstraction of infinity and properties of infinite quantities are described. Their arguments revealed they perceive infinity as an ongoing process, rather than a completed one, and fail to notice conflicting ideas. In particular, confusion between the infinite magnitude of points on a line segment and the infinite representation of real numbers was observed. Furthermore, students struggled to draw a connection between real numbers and their representation on a number line.

If Mathematics Is A Language, How Do You Swear In It?, Dave Wagner
If Mathematics Is A Language, How Do You Swear In It?, Dave Wagner
The Mathematics Enthusiast
Swears are words that are considered rude or offensive. Like most other words, they are arbitrary symbols that index meaning: there is nothing inherently wrong with the letters that spell a swear word, but strung together they conjure strong meaning. This reminds us that language has power. This is true in mathematics classrooms too, where language practices structure the way participants understand mathematics and where teachers and students can use language powerfully to shape their own mathematical experience and the experiences of others.
Mathematical Curiosities About Division Of Integers, Jérôme Proulx, Mary Beisiegel
Mathematical Curiosities About Division Of Integers, Jérôme Proulx, Mary Beisiegel
The Mathematics Enthusiast
As mathematics educators, our focus of attention is mainly placed on the learning and teaching of mathematics. But, as we study phenomena of mathematical learning and teaching, we often come across intriguing mathematical phenomena that capture our interest. We find ourselves often bouncing mathematical ideas back and forth, not just looking for (new/better) ways of teaching or presenting a mathematical concept, but also of uncovering and discovering potential understandings of the concept. These mathematical issues we encounter represent for us a significant aspect of our work, and are also very stimulating. One of these issues arose for us as we …

Cubism And The Fourth Dimension, Elijah Bodish
Cubism And The Fourth Dimension, Elijah Bodish
The Mathematics Enthusiast
When one looks into the subject of geometries that attempt to explain fourthdimensional space, it is inevitable that one encounters references to Cubism. The purpose of this paper is to find what the similarities between this mathematical concept and cubism are. There are many historical arguments as to how the cubists encountered literature about the fourth-dimension, and whether they were exposed to it at all, which I will for the most part omit and instead let the art speak for itself. It is important to see how two fields are interrelated in order to gain a better understanding of both …

Book Review: What's All The Commotion Over Commognition? A Review Of Anna Sfard's Thinking As Communicating, Bharath Sriraman
The Mathematics Enthusiast
If straight edge and compass constructions are the so-called “atoms” of Euclidean geometry, if sequences are the “atoms” of Analysis, then what are the “atoms” (if any) of mathematics education? Arguably mathematics education is a much wider field than Euclidean Geometry or Elementary Analysis, however there are several fundamental things that the field purports to study, chief among which is mathematical thinking or more generally “thinking”. The book under review, though it appears in a Cambridge University Press series entitled Learning in Doing: Social, Cognitive, and Computational Perspectives, is in my view situated at the intersection of Consciousness Studies, …
