  2. 1. Comparative Study of Teaching Computational Mathematics in Two Different Learning Environments

    Author : Dara Maghdid; Matematik LTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computational mathematics; Teaching style; Variation Theory; Mathematics values; Motivation;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to investigate necessary adaptations in the design of a mathematics course when it is transferred from one cultural environment to another. We focus on an elementary course in computational mathematics with Python taught at Lund University, Sweden, and at Soran University, Kurdistan/Iraq. This project holds two main parts. READ MORE

  4. 2. Students as scientists : a study of motivation in the science classroom

    Author : Jenny Maria Hellgren; Magnus Österholm; Jim Ryder; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; motivation; emotions; experiences; authentic science; student-teacher-scientist partnership; secondary school; implementation; classroom; mathematics; self-determination theory; didactics of natural science; naturvetenskapens didaktik;

    Abstract : School science and mathematics have been criticized for being difficult, de-contextualised and teacher-centred. This thesis concerns student motivation in science and mathematics in secondary school, and in particular student motivation in relation to student-teacher-scientist partnerships (STSPs) and an authentic science task called the Medicine Hunt where students help scientists to find new antibiotics.

  5. 3. On Aspects of Mathematical Reasoning : Affect and Gender

    Author : Lovisa Sumpter; Johan Lithner; Markku Hannula; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; affect; beliefs; gender; mathematical reasoning; problem solving; upper secondary school; Other mathematics; Övrig matematik; matematikdidaktik; didactics of mathematics;

    Abstract : This thesis explores two aspects of mathematical reasoning: affect and gender. I started by looking at the reasoning of upper secondary students when solving tasks. READ MORE

  6. 4. Extensions and Applications of Affine Shape

    Author : Rikard Berthilsson; Matematik LTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Systems engineering; Matematik; Mathematics; density of shape; maximum likelihood; matching constraint; surface; curve; handwriting; recognition; affine shape; reconstruction; computer technology; Data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : A central problem in computer vision is to reconstruct the three-dimensional structure of a scene from a set of two-dimensional images. Traditionally this is done by extracting a set of characteristic points in the scene and to compute a reconstruction of these points. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies of vector tomography

    Author : Kent Stråhlén; Matematik LTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Doppler tomography; Doppler Radon transform; local tomography; vectorial k-plane transform; vectorial Radon transform; k-plane transform; Radon transform; tomography; vector tomography; Mathematics; Matematik;

    Abstract : The motivation to study the kind of problems appearing in this thesis has been ultrasound measurements of flows, from which velocity spectra along lines can be determined. These velocity spectra can mathematically be described by a new non-linear transform, here called the Doppler Spectral Transform (DST). READ MORE
