  2. 1. On Axioms and Images in the History of Mathematics

    Author : Johanna Pejlare; Gunnar Berg; Anders Öberg; Leo Corry; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematics; History of mathematics; axiomatization; intuition; visualization; images; Euclidean geometry; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; History of mathematics; axiomatization; intuition; visualization; images; Euclidean geometry;

    Abstract : This dissertation deals with aspects of axiomatization, intuition and visualization in the history of mathematics. Particular focus is put on the end of the 19th century, before David Hilbert's (1862–1943) work on the axiomatization of Euclidean geometry. The thesis consists of three papers. READ MORE

  4. 2. Difficult to read or difficult to solve? : The role of natural language and other semiotic resources in mathematics tasks

    Author : Anneli Dyrvold; Magnus Österholm; Ewa Bergqvist; Johan Lithner; Candia Morgan; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; mathematics education; multisemiotics; task text; difficulty; mathematical reading ability; matematikdidaktik; didactics of mathematics; Mathematics; Pedagogik; Linguistics;

    Abstract : When students solve mathematics tasks, the tasks are commonly given as written text, usually consisting of natural language, mathematical notation and different types of images. This is one reason why reading and interpreting such texts are important parts of being mathematically proficient, at least within the school context. READ MORE

  5. 3. Mathematical Multi-Objective Optimization of the Tactical Allocation of Machining Resources in Functional Workshops

    Author : Sunney Fotedar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Decision-making; Robust efficient solutions; Discrete bi-objective optimization; Capacity planning; Discrete tri-objective optimization; Production planning; Coverage gap;

    Abstract : In the aerospace industry, efficient management of machining capacity is crucial to meet the required service levels to customers and to maintain control of the tied-up working capital. We introduce new multi-item , multi-level capacitated resource allocation models with a medium--to--long--term planning horizon. READ MORE

  6. 4. Syllogistic Analysis and Cunning of Reason in Mathematics Education

    Author : Yang Liu; Arne Engström; Jiansheng Bao; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematics education; mathematics teaching; syllogistic analysis; cunning of reason; change of perspective; didactic transposition; classroom instruction; textbook writing; Matematik; Mathematics;

    Abstract : This essay explores the issue of organizing mathematics education by means of syllogism. Two aspects turn out to be particularly significant. One is the syllogistic analysis while the other is the cunning of reason. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mathematical Reasoning in Physics Tests : Requirements, Relations, Dependence

    Author : Helena Johansson; Mats Andersson; Jesper Boesen; Kerstin Pettersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical reasoning; imitative reasoning; creative mathematical reasoning; physics tests; physics tasks; upper secondary school; Mantel-Haenszel procedure; Mathematical reasoning; imitative reasoning; creative mathematical reasoning; physics tests; physics tasks; upper secondary school; Mantel-Haenszel procedure.; Mantel-Haenszel procedure;

    Abstract : By analysing and expanding upon mathematical reasoning requirements in physics tests, this licentiate thesis aims to contribute to the research studying how students’ knowledge in mathematics influence their learning of physics. A sample of physics tests from the Swedish National Test Bank in Physics was used as data, together with information of upper secondary students’ scores and grades on the tests. READ MORE
