  2. 16. Game theory and applications

    Author : Carl-Joar Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; non-cooperative game theory; prisoner s dilemma; disease; distribution; compartmental model; epidemiological model; game theory; equilibrium strategy;

    Abstract : Individual-level interactions and decisions spread though populations and change the collective-level dynamics in an intricate way. Nevertheless, game theory is well suited for the unification of these viewpoints. READ MORE

  4. 17. 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

  5. 18. Mathematics teachers' conceptions about equations

    Author : Iiris Attorps; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; algebra; conception; equation; learning; mathematics teacher; Subject didactics; Ämnesdidaktik; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

    Abstract : The aim of this study is to describe and to clarify the mathematics teachers’ subject matter and pedagogical content conceptions about equations. As the basis of these conceptions, the teachers’ experiences of the concept learning of equations from their own school time are described. READ MORE

  6. 19. 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

  7. 20. Computer-aided Computation of Abelian integrals and Robust Normal Forms

    Author : Tomas Johnson; Warwick Tucker; Lars-Erik Persson; John H. Hubbard; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ordinary differential equations; parameter estimation; planar Hamiltonian systems; bifurcation theory; Abelian integrals; limit cycles; normal forms; hyperbolic fixed points; numerical integration; invariant manifolds; interval analysis. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 34A60; 34C07; 34C20; 37D10; 37G15; 37M20; 37M99; 65G20; 65L09; 65L70.; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; matematik; Mathematics;

    Abstract : This PhD thesis consists of a summary and seven papers, where various applications of auto-validated computations are studied. In the first paper we describe a rigorous method to determine unknown parameters in a system of ordinary differential equations from measured data with known bounds on the noise of the measurements.
