Gencev, Marian; Šalounová, Dana – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
The aim of this paper is to present a teaching proposal for the theoretical part relating to the first- and second-order linear difference equations with constant coefficients suitable for the first-year students at various types of universities. In contradistinction to the methods often applied (memorization of algorithms without a proper…

Murillo Hernández, José Alberto – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
In this paper a class of regular surfaces, generated by rotation and twist of a rigid line segment, is considered. Firstly a complete description of those surfaces by means of local charts is obtained and then its orientability is characterized in terms of the number of half-twists, taking into account their direction (clockwise or…

Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
We present action research of a problem posed as part of a multi-participant national (Israeli) test checking the mathematical knowledge of high school students at the ages of 16-17, where some of those who solved this problem made an error by using the converse to a well-known theorem, where the converse is not true. In order to examine the…

Lynch, Mark – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
In high school, unit discs were all circular. Squares and diamonds were added to the list of shapes in a Real Analysis course and although more bizarre shapes appeared in graduate school, the list of possible shapes didn't appear endless. In this note, we'll show that unit discs can have almost any shape imaginable.

Miles, Richard – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
A key motivational tactic in undergraduate mathematics teaching is to launch topics with fundamental questions that originate from surprising or remarkable phenomena. Nonetheless, constructing a sequence of tasks that promotes students' own routes to resolving such questions is challenging. This note aims to address this challenge in two ways.…

Buchbinder, Orly – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
The nine-point circle theorem is one of the most beautiful and surprising theorems in Euclidean geometry. It establishes an existence of a circle passing through nine points, all of which are related to a single triangle. This paper describes a set of instructional activities that can help students discover the nine-point circle theorem through…

Pujol, Jose – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
Given two vectors u and v, their cross product u × v is a vector perpendicular to u and v. The motivation for this property, however, is never addressed. Here we show that the existence of the cross and dot products and the perpendicularity property follow from the concept of linear combination, which does not involve products of vectors. For our…

Caglayan, Günhan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
This linear algebra note offers teaching and learning ideas in the treatment of the inner product space R[superscript m x n] in a technology-supported learning environment. Classroom activities proposed in this note demonstrate creative ways of integrating MATLAB technology into various properties of Frobenius inner product as visualization tools…

Sigler, Avi; Stupel, Moshe; Flores, Alfinio – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
Students use GeoGebra to explore the mathematical relations among different radii of circles in a triangle (circumcircle, incircle, excircles) and the sides and other segments in the triangle. The more formal mathematical development of the relations that follows the explorations is based on known geometrical properties, different formulas…

Oxman, Victor; Stupel, Moshe; Segal, Ruti – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
An important and interesting area in the study of triangle geometry is the related issue of extrema problems and inequalities. These problems play a significant role in the mathematics study program in high school. In tasks such as these, the difficulty level is high when one does not know in advance what the expected answer is. When one knows…

Caglayan, Gunhan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2016
The purpose of this article is to offer teaching ideas in the treatment of the definite integral concept and the Riemann sums in a technology-supported environment. Specifically, the article offers teaching ideas and activities for classroom for the numerical methods of approximating a definite integral via left- and right-hand Riemann sums, along…

Srinivasan, V. K. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
This article adopts the following classification for a Euclidean planar [triangle]ABC, purely based on angles alone. A Euclidean planar triangle is said to be acute angled if all the three angles of the Euclidean planar [triangle]ABC are acute angles. It is said to be right angled at a specific vertex, say B, if the angle ?ABC is a right angle…

Koshy, Thomas – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2012
This article investigates the numbers [image omitted], originally studied by Catalan. We re-confirm that they are indeed integers. Using the close relationship between them and the Catalan numbers C[subscript n], we develop some divisibility properties for C[subscript n]. In particular, we establish that [image omitted], where f[subscript k]…

Mortici, Cristinel – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2012
The floor function maps a real number to the largest previous integer. More precisely, floor(x)=[x] is the largest integer not greater than x. The square bracket notation [x] for the floor function was introduced by Gauss in his third proof of quadratic reciprocity in 1808. The floor function is also called the greatest integer or entier (French…

Matthews, Miccal T. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2012
In this article an application of conformal mapping to aerofoil theory is studied from a geometric and calculus point of view. The problem is suitable for undergraduate teaching in terms of a project or extended piece of work, and brings together the concepts of geometric mapping, parametric equations, complex numbers and calculus. The Joukowski…
