Relationship between Mathematical Thinking, Mathematics Anxiety and Mathematics Attitudes among University Students

This study investigates the relationships between mathematics anxiety, attitudes toward mathematics and mathematical thinking among university students. A 60-item questionnaire included mathematical thinking rating scale, mathematics anxiet...

Assessing the Relationship between Attitude toward Mathematics and Achievement in Mathematics: A Meta-Analysis

Xin Ma, Nand Kishor, Assessing the Relationship between Attitude toward Mathematics and Achievement in Mathematics: A Meta-Analysis, Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, Vol. 28, No. 1 (Jan., 1997), pp. 26-47...

Predicting potato plant vigor from the seed tuber properties

Abstract The vigor of potato plants is of crucial importance for potato seed producers, who are interested in predicting it at scale by exploiting the dependence of plant growth and development on the origin and physiological state of the s...

Mathematical structures of language

This book attempts to show how one can arrive at an abstract system which characterizes precisely natural language. This is done by taking the data of language and finding within the data such relations as can be organized into a suitable m...

Extended Fibonacci numbers and polynomials with probability applications

The extended Fibonacci sequence of numbers and polynomials is introduced and studied. The generating function, recurrence relations, an expansion in terms of multinomial coefficients, and several properties of the extended Fibonacci numbers...

Mathematical Reasoning

Contents: Preface. Part I: Introduction. L.D. English, Analogies, Metaphors, and Images: Vehicles for Mathematical Reasoning. Part II: Cognitive Foundations for a Mind-Based Mathematics. G. Lakoff, R.E. Nunez, The Metaphorical Structure of ...

Mathematics achievement and self-efficacy: Relations with motivation for mathematics

How Does Anxiety Affect the Relationship between the Customer and the Omnichannel Systems?

Omnichannel is not just a marketing, e-commerce, or customer support buzzword. This future customer engagement platform helps businesses communicate with customers through centralized channels on a smart interface. It is difficult to achiev...

Mathematics and Reality

The subject of this paper is the philosophical problem of accounting for the relationship between mathematics and non-mathematical reality. The first section, devoted to the importance of the problem, suggests that many of the reasons for e...

Mathematics as a science of patterns

Mathematics as a Science of Patterns is the definitive exposition of a system of ideas about the nature of mathematics which Michael Resnik has been elaborating for a number of years. In calling mathematics a science he implies that it has ...

A Meta-Analysis of the Relationship between Anxiety toward Mathematics and Achievement in Mathematics

In this meta-analysis I examined 26 studies on the relationship between anxiety toward mathematics and achievement in mathematics among elementary and secondary students. The common population correlation for the relationship is significant...

Skills underlying mathematics: The role of executive function in the development of mathematics proficiency

The successful learning and performance of mathematics relies on a range of individual, social and educational factors. Recent research suggests that executive function skills, which include monitoring and manipulating information in mind (...

The Chicken or the Egg? The Direction of the Relationship Between Mathematics Anxiety and Mathematics Performance

This review considers the two possible causal directions between mathematics anxiety (MA) and poor mathematics performance. Either poor maths performance may elicit MA (referred to as the Deficit Theory), or MA may reduce future maths perfo...

Mathematics without Numbers

Abstract Develops a structuralist understanding of mathematics, as an alternative to set‐ or type‐theoretic foundations, that respects classical mathematical truth while minimizing Platonist commitments to abstract entities. Modal logic is ...

Mathematics and the Body

This book explores alternative ways to consider the relationship between mathematics and the material world. Drawing on the philosophy of Gilles Châtelet and the post-humanist materialism of Karen Barad, the authors present an 'inclusive ma...

Robustness of a bisimulation-type faster-than preorder

TACS is an extension of CCS where upper time bounds for delays can be specified. Luettgen and Vogler defined three variants of bismulation-type faster-than relations and showed that they all three lead to the same preorder, demonstrating th...

MOMENTS OF THE LENGTH OF LINE SEGMENTS IN HOMOGENEOUS PLANAR STIT TESSELLATIONS

Homogeneous planar tessellations stable under iteration (STIT tessellations) are considered. Using recent results about the joint distribution of direction and length of the typical I-, K- and J-segment we prove closed formulas for the firs...

Global quantum correlations in finite-size spin chains

We perform an extensive study of the properties of global quantum correlations in finite-size one-dimensional quantum spin models at finite temperature. By adopting a recently proposed measure for global quantum correlations (Rulli and Sara...

The application of cosine similarity measures with Laplacian energy to q-rung orthopair fuzzy graphs in decision-making problems

Q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q-ROFS), which are better than the intuitionistic and Pythagorean fuzzy sets, are a significant tool for expressing ambiguous information. Their key feature is that their ability to represent a larger space of u...

The Mathematics of Marriage

Divorce rates are at an all-time high. But without a theoretical understanding of the processes related to marital stability and dissolution, it is difficult to design and evaluate new marriage interventions. The Mathematics of Marriage pro...
