    Abstract : We study admissible transformations and solve group classification problems for various classes of linear and nonlinear Schrödinger equations with an arbitrary number n of space variables.The aim of the thesis is twofold. READ MORE

  4. 2. The function concept and university mathematics teaching

    Author : Olov Viirman; Iiris Attorps; Barbara Jaworski; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mathematics; university education; commognitive framework; function concept; discourse; teaching; Matematik; Mathematics;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the teaching of mathematics at university level, with a particular focus on the teaching of the function concept. The main aim of the thesis is describing and analysing the teaching practices of university mathematics teachers regarding the function concept, and how this concept is constituted through these practices.

    Abstract : The Earth harbors around 300 000 plant species. The rich and complex environment provided by plants is considered a key factor for the extraordinary diversity of the terrestrial fauna by, for example, providing food and shelter. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies in the Conceptual Development of Mathematical Analysis

    Author : Kajsa Bråting; Anders Öberg; Hans Niels Jahnke; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; History of mathematics; conceptual development; mathematical analysis; Other mathematics; Övrig matematik; Mathematics; Matematik;

    Abstract : This dissertation deals with the development of mathematical concepts from a historical and didactical perspective. In particular, the development of concepts in mathematical analysis during the 19th century is considered. The thesis consists of a summary and three papers. In the first paper we investigate the Swedish mathematician E. READ MORE
