1. Formative assessment and problem solving in mathematics
Abstract : In this thesis, the focus is on how reasoning in problem solving can be supported and which factors are associated with this support. In four studies, I investigated four aspects which address the overarching aim of the thesis. READ MORE

3. Learning to solve problems that you have not learned to solve: Strategies in mathematical problem solving
Abstract : This thesis aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationship between problem-solving strategies and success in mathematical problem solving. In its introductory part, it pursues and describes the term strategy in mathematics and discusses its relationship to the method and algorithm concepts. READ MORE

5. On Methods for Solving Symmetric Systems of Linear Equations Arising in Optimization
Abstract : In this thesis we present research on mathematical properties of methods for solv- ing symmetric systems of linear equations that arise in various optimization problem formulations and in methods for solving such problems.In the first and third paper (Paper A and Paper C), we consider the connection be- tween the method of conjugate gradients and quasi-Newton methods on strictly convex quadratic optimization problems or equivalently on a symmetric system of linear equa- tions with a positive definite matrix.
