Algorithmisation as mathematical activity and skills in connection with mathematical modelling

Anna Pyzara (2018)

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis | Studia ad Didacticam Mathematicae Pertinentia

Similarity:

Good preparation of students to the profession of teacher is very important. In my research I focus on improving the quality of teacher's preparation at the university level, and through it at school level in the future. I present the proposal of teaching mathematics with the use of algorithmisation. It is possible, because solutions to many mathematical problems can be expressed in the form of an algorithm. The process of algorithmisation of mathematical issues is associated with various...

George P. H. Styan - a celebration

Carlos A. Coelho (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

The first time I met George Styan was in July 2004 in Lisbon when he was on his way to the 11th ILAS Conference in Coimbra. But George had already been in Portugal before and I learned how much he was fond of Conventual, a very fine and nice old style restaurant in Lisbon. Then I also learned that George really is an appreciator of good food and a very well-educated wine drinker. With this detail in common it was really easy to become a good friend with George. ...

Mathematics and Morality on the Cusp of Modernity

Peter Dear (2001)

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

Similarity:

This note suggests that a fruitful way of investigating the history of mathematics lies in consideration of its pedagogical purposes. As a general illustration of the directions that such an approach might take, the paper discusses early-modern arguments for the practical utility of mathematics and its capacity to inculcate good habits of thought, as well as the appearance of new uses for mathematical training in the later eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries that served the purpose...

Textes & documents - Opposition to the boycott of german mathematics in the early 1920s: letters by Edmund Landau (1877–1938) and Edwin Bidwell Wilson (1879–1964)

Reinhard Siegmund-Schultze (2011)

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

Similarity:

This paper, through the publication of two of their letters, sheds light on the political positions of two influential mathematicians of the first half of the 20th century, the German Edmund Landau and the American Edwin Bidwell Wilson. It provides substantial evidence for the widespread rejection of the political boycott of German mathematics not only by the Germans but also by the community of American mathematicians in the early 1920s.

Specifics of Geography Teacher Training at the Faculty of Natural Sciences Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra

Magdaléna Nemčíková, Zuzana Rampašeková, Hilda Kramáreková, Alena Dubcová (2019)

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis Studia Geographica

Similarity:

The Slovak education is currently experiencing a turbulent period associated with ongoing efforts to reform the education system, under-funding of education with low teacher salaries, overworked and feminized teaching staff, low social status of a teacher in society, problems in the creation and distribution of current textbooks, insufficient interest in studying natural sciences, leaving of young people to study abroad, etc. This situation is also reflected in the training of future...

Betwixt Jesuit and Enlightenment Historiography: Jean-Sylvain Bailly’s History of Indian Astronomy

Dhruv Raina (2003)

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

Similarity:

The crystallization of scientific disciplines in late eighteenth-century Europe was accompanied by the proliferation of specialist histories of science. These histories were framed as much by the imperatives of the astronomy of the times as they were by the compulsions of disciplinary differentiation. This paper attempts to contextualise the engagement with the astronomy of India in the histories of astronomy authored in the eighteenth century by the astronomer Jean-Sylvain Bailly. While...
