Mathematical Competencies Of Third Level Students: A Review, Colm Mcguinness
Mathematical Competencies Of Third Level Students: A Review, Colm Mcguinness
The ITB Journal
Many lecturers of mathematics and related disciplines in Ireland and internationally believe there has been a gradual decline in mathematical competencies of students presenting for first year at third level educational establishments. Some of the evidence to support this view is reviewed, along with the types of solutions being applied in Ireland and the UK. Attention is drawn to the explicit and implicit decline in standards potentially associated with some of the solutions, particularly for short courses involving mathematics.
Solitary Wave Solution Of Flat Surface Internal Geophysical Waves With Vorticity, Alan Compelli
Solitary Wave Solution Of Flat Surface Internal Geophysical Waves With Vorticity, Alan Compelli
Conference papers
A fluid system bounded by a flat bottom and a flat surface with an internal wave and depth-dependent current is con-sidered. The Hamiltonian of the system is presented and the dynamics of the system are discussed. A long-wave regime is then considered and extended to produce a KdV approximation. Finally, a solitary wave solution is obtained.
