Representative Characteristics of Felder-silverman Learning Styles:

Learning styles are more and more incorporated in technology enhanced learning and a lot of research work is done in this area. For example, systems are developed which provide adaptivity according to the learning styles of students; relationships to students’ performance and other characteristics of students such as cognitive traits are investigated, and techniques are designed to derive the l...

Remarks on a Paper by Silverman

We improve a result in Silverman’s paper (1999) and answer a question he posed. We also consider a similar problem and obtain sufficient conditions for starlikeness. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 30C45.
