Alonso Ogueda-Oliva; Padmanabhan Seshaiyer – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
In this paper, we introduce novel instructional approaches to engage students in using modelling with data to motivate and teach differential equations. Specifically, we introduce a pedagogical framework that will execute instructional modules to teach different solution techniques for differential equations through repositories and notebook…

Zengin, Yilmaz – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
This study examines how collective argumentation in the integration of the ACODESA method (collaborative learning, scientific debate and self-reflection) and GeoGebra can help students understand parametric equations. The participants of the study consist of 24 university students enrolled in a mathematics education programme at a state university…

Lie Group Method for Constructing Integrating Factors of First-Order Ordinary Differential Equations
Feng, Yuqiang; Yu, Jicheng – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
This paper introduces the basic knowledge of integral factors of first-order ordinary differential equations and Lie symmetry analysis. It then discusses the principle of constructing an integral factor of the first-order ordinary differential equation by the Lie symmetric method. Finally, it presents some examples to show the process of…

Thabiso Khemane; Pragashni Padayachee; Corrinne Shaw – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
This article explores the conceptual challenges that engineering students encounter with double integrals in a vector calculus course. Drawing on previous literature and utilising APOS (Activity- Process- Objects- Schema) as a theoretical framework, this study investigates the difficulties that students face in understanding and applying double…

Richard F. Melka; Hashim A. Yousif – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
In application-oriented mathematics, particularly in the context of nonlinear system analysis, phase plane analysis through SageMath offers a visual display of the qualitative behaviour of solutions to differential equations without inundating students with cumbersome calculations of the plane-phase. A variety of examples is usually given to…

Braza, Peter A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
All differential equations students have encountered eigenvectors and eigenvalues in their study of systems of linear differential equations. The eigenvectors and phase plane solutions are displayed in a Cartesian plane, yet a geometric understanding can be enhanced, and is arguably better, if the system is represented in polar coordinates. A…

Rabiei, Nima; Saleeby, Elias G. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
In the multivariable calculus course, a standard application of triple integration is to find volumes of bounded regions in R[superscript 3]. In this article, we consider the problem of computing volumes, by way of examples, of regions bounded by planes and quadric surfaces. For illustration, we present the solution to two basic but non-standard…

Stewart, Seán M. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
For integrals consisting of rational functions of sine and cosine a set of little known rules known as the Bioche rules are considered. The rules, which consist of testing the differential form of the integral for invariance under one of three simple substitutions x [right arrow] -- x, [pi] -- x, and [pi] + x, allow one to decide which of the…

Borji, Vahid; Alamolhodaei, Hassan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Despite the importance and many applications that parametric equations and curves have in mathematics and other sciences, there is a lack of research regarding this topic in mathematics education. The goal of this article is to explore university students' understanding of parametric equations and curves based on two lenses: Action, Process,…

A Problem-Based Learning Proposal to Teach Numerical and Analytical Nonlinear Root Searching Methods
González-Santander, Juan Luis; Sánchez-Lasheras, Fernando – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Nonlinear equations are usually solved numerically. However, approximated analytical solutions of nonlinear equations are useful as an initial iteration point for numerical methods. Furthermore, these analytical approximations are sometimes quite close to the actual root. In order to teach at undergraduate level how to perform this kind of…

Mukhtar, Faisal M.; Al-Gahtani, Husain J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
Use of three-force member concept for rigid bodies whenever possible, to circumvent the more taxing use of equilibrium equations has been long-established. However, most students fail to reap its benefits due to a number of reasons, including the fact that its importance is hardly emphasized to them; skills and details needed for the concept are…

Kojic, Vedran; Krpan, Mira; Lukac, Zrinka – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
One of the fundamental topics taught in the microeconomics class is minimizing economic costs. It includes understanding the concept of derivatives and applying them. However, most of the first-year undergraduate students find calculus difficult to understand, which also results in poor knowledge of optimization. We use the method based on the…

Gkioulekas, Eleftherios – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
We review the history and previous literature on radical equations and present the rigorous solution theory for radical equations of depth 2, continuing a previous study of radical equations of depth 1. Radical equations of depth 2 are equations where the unknown variable appears under at least one square root and where two steps are needed to…

Griffiths, Martin – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
We consider here two questions posed by first-year undergraduate students in a statistics tutorial session. These questions are related, and each concerns an aspect of independence in probability. The notion of independence does tend to be a little less intuitive than some of the other elementary probabilistic concepts, thereby providing students…
