  2. 1. 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

  4. 2. Does language matter? : sources of inequivalence and demand of reading ability of mathematics tasks in different languages

    Author : Frithjof Theens; Ewa Bergqvist; Magnus Österholm; Lotta Vingsle; Andreas Ryve; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mathematics tasks; reading; equivalence; DIF; multilingual assessments; PISA; matematikdidaktik; didactics of mathematics; pedagogiskt arbete; educational work;

    Abstract : Practicing mathematics is not possible without the use of language. To communicate mathematical content, not only words in natural language are used but also non-verbal forms of communication such as mathematical symbols, graphs, and diagrams. All these forms of communication can be seen as part of the language used when doing mathematics. READ MORE

  5. 3. Modeling of bacterial DNA patterns important in horizontal gene transfer using stochastic grammars

    Author : Mariana Buongermino Pereira; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stochastic context-free grammars; hidden Markov model; conditional random fields; integrons; attC sites; secondary structure.; secondary structure.;

    Abstract : DNA contains genes which carry the blueprints for all processes necessary to maintain life. In addition to genes, DNA also contains a wide range of functional patterns, which governs many of these processes. These functional patterns have typically a high variability, both within and between species, which makes them hard to detect. READ MORE

  6. 4. On relations between classical and quantum theories of information and probability

    Author : Peter Nyman; Andrei Khrennikov; Sergei Kozyrev; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Born’s rule; Clifford algebra; Deutsch-Josza algorithm; Grover’s algorithm; Hyperbolic interferences; Inverse Born’s rule problem; Probabilistic data; Quantum computing; Quantum error-correcting; Quantum-like representation algorithm; Shor’s algorithm; Simon’s algorithm; Simulation of quantum algorithms; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; Mathematics; Matematik;

    Abstract : In this thesis we study quantum-like representation and simulation of quantum algorithms by using classical computers.The quantum--like representation algorithm (QLRA) was  introduced by A. Khrennikov (1997) to solve the ``inverse Born's rule problem'', i.e. READ MORE

  7. 5. Representation of Quantum Algorithms with Symbolic Language and Simulation on Classical Computer

    Author : Peter Nyman; Andrei khrennikov; Paul Fischer; Växjö universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Deutsch-Josza algorithm; Grover s algorithm; Quantum computing; Quantum error-correcting; Shor s algorithm; Simon s algorithm; Simulation of quantum algorithms; Deutsch-Josza algoritm; Grovers algoritm; Kvantdatorer; kvantmekanisk felrättande kod; Shors algoritm; Simons algoritm; Simulering av kvantdatorer; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; Mathematics; Matematik;

    Abstract : Utvecklandet av kvantdatorn är ett ytterst lovande projekt som kombinerar teoretisk och experimental kvantfysik, matematik, teori om kvantinformation och datalogi. Under första steget i utvecklandet av kvantdatorn låg huvudintresset på att skapa några algoritmer med framtida tillämpningar, klargöra grundläggande frågor och utveckla en experimentell teknologi för en leksakskvantdator som verkar på några kvantbitar.
