In this paper I attempt to examine the issue from a broader perspective than is usual in the IMP group or in t...
متن کاملMaking Relevance Relevant in Mathematics Teacher Education
One of the features of the reform in school mathematics is that school mathematics should be made relevant to the learners. The incorporation of mathematical modelling in school mathematics is one of the ways that is offered to realise the relevance ideal. Ostensibly the inclusion of mathematical modelling will provide school learners opportunities to develop mathematical power i.e. the ability...

An assertion can be a factual claim or the expression of a value judgment. Since Hume the view that these are two incompatible types of assertions that cannot be connected by argumentation, has often been defended, and, more recently, has also been called into question. In the following paper I attempt to show that the truth both of a descriptive sentence and of a normative sentence is derived ...

It seems a natural choice because a typical IR system always tries to find the information that is relevant to the user’s information needs. However, this notion of relevance is not well-understood at times. Most of the IR systems use precision, recall, or some simil...
متن کاملReturn-Map Cryptanalysis Revisited
As a powerful cryptanalysis tool, the method of return-map attacks can be used to extract secret messages masked by chaos in secure communication schemes. Recently, a simple defensive mechanism was presented to enhance the security of chaotic parameter modulation schemes against return-map attacks. Two techniques are combined in the proposed defensive mechanism: multistep parameter modulation a...
