Frege: philosophy of mathematics

No one has figured more prominently in the study of the German philosopher Gottlob Frege than Michael Dummett. His magisterial Frege: Philosophy of Language is a sustained, systematic analysis of Frege's thought, omitting only the issues in...

Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics

Chinese students typically outperform U.S. students on international comparisons of mathematics competency. Paradoxically, Chinese teachers receive far less education than U.S. teachers--11 to 12 years of schooling versus 16 to 18 years of ...

Mathematical Logic

W. V. Quine’s systematic development of mathematical logic has been widely praised for the new material presented and for the clarity of its exposition. This revised edition, in which the minor inconsistencies observed since its first publi...

Potential applications of peptide nucleic acid in biomedical domain

Abstract Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) are DNA/RNA synthetic analogs with 2‐([2‐aminoethyl] amino) acetic acid backbone. They partake unique antisense and antigene properties, just due to its inhibitory effect on transcription and translation;...

Correction to: IGFM: An Enhanced Graph Similarity Computation Method with Fine‑Grained Analysis

Global Stability of Traveling Waves for a More General Nonlocal Reaction-Diffusion Equation

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the global stability of traveling front solutions with noncritical and critical speeds for a more general nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation with or without delay. Our analysis relies on the tec...

On the Domain of 4-Dimensional Catalan Matrix in the Space of Absolutely Summable Double Sequences

The primary objective of this study is to construct a novel double sequence space by utilizing the domain of a 4-dimensional (4D) matrix in the space $\mathcal{L}_u$ of the absolutely summable double sequences defined via the well-known Ca...

On the Gauss Map of Surfaces of Revolution with Lightlike Axis in Minkowski 3-Space

By studying the Gauss map G and Laplace operator Δh of the second fundamental form h, we will classify surfaces of revolution with a lightlike axis in 3-dimensional Minkowski space and also obtain the surface of Enneper of the 2nd kind, the...

Pré-localisation des données pour la modélisation 3D de tunnels : développements et évaluations

Le présent article décrit l'implémentation d'une méthode de pré-location décimétrique d'images au sein de grands volumes de données dans des tunnels navigables et routiers. Elle repose sur une technique d'odométrie visuelle simplifiée, ce q...

Analysis of Long-Term Impact of Maintenance Policy on Maintenance Capacity Using a Time-Driven Activity-Based Life-Cycle Costing

In capital-intensive industries, physical assets and maintenance activities play a relevant and strategic role in terms of providing operational continuity and business sustainability. As a result, maintenance support structures are highly ...

Threshold dynamics of a delayed predator–prey model with impulse via the basic reproduction number

Abstract In this paper, we study a delayed predator–prey model with impulse and, in particular, the existence of the predator-free periodic solution. We employ the approach and techniques coming from epidemiology and calculate the basic rep...

The relationship between mathematics self-efficacy and achievement in mathematics

This study examined the relationship between Mathematics Self-Efficacy and achievement in Mathematics. Three hundred and fifty-two (352) Senior Secondary 2 students in Oyo State were used for the study. Three hypotheses were used. The resul...

The effects of modern mathematics computer games on mathematics achievement and class motivation

[Mathematical models of hysteresis]

The research described in this proposal is currently being supported by the US Department of Energy under the contract Mathematical Models of Hysteresis''. Thus, before discussing the proposed research in detail, it is worthwhile to describ...

Philosophy of Mathematics

The twentieth century has witnessed an unprecedented 'crisis in the foundations of mathematics', featuring a world-famous paradox (Russell's Paradox), a challenge to 'classical' mathematics from a world-famous mathematician (the 'mathematic...

A Mathematical Introduction to Wavelets

This book presents a mathematical introduction to the theory of orthogonal wavelets and their uses in analysing functions and function spaces, both in one and in several variables. Starting with a detailed and self contained discussion of t...

Reasoning, Affectivity and School Performance at the end of Portuguese Elementary Education: Which Variables To Consider?

Abstract Elementary education is a stage in which children and adolescents develop reasoning and affectivity, variables often associated with school performance. This study aims to analyze the relationship between reasoning, affectivity and...
