the purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between epistemological and motivational beliefs about mathematics among gifted students. to this end , 334 first year high school gifted students were selected through applying the otis intelligence test. epistemological beliefs questionnaire (ebq) and motivational beliefs about mathematics scale (mbms) were also used as measurement inst...

In this paper, we share our collaboration across the disciplines of mathematics and education to develop implement a mathematical modeling task for prospective secondary teachers. Through collaboration, identified three key components modeling: what, how, why. outline these from literature how each framed development implementation Sprinkler Task in content methods courses These show that is pa...

Abstract. The recent increasing interplay between actuarial and financial mathematics has led to a surge of risk theoretic modeling. Especially actuarial ruin models under fairly general conditions on the underlying risk process have become a focus of attention. Motivated by applications to the modeling of operational risk losses in financial risk management, we investigate the stability of cla...

This study aimed to present an authentic way of showing how computer assisted mathematical modeling of a real world situation helped to understand mystery of that situation. To achieve this aim, a group of pre-service mathematics teachers has been asked to think on how the trip computer of cars calculates the values like instant fuel consumption, average fuel consumption and the distance to be ...

Fatal hyperthermia after administration of various amphetamines is well-known clinical phenomenon, however, there is no consistent theory explaining its etiology and/or pathogenesis. Dose-dependence of temperature responses to methamphetamine is intricate. Recently, using mathematical modeling it was suggested that delicate interplay of excitatory and inhibitory mechanisms underlies this comple...

Background and purpose As many other fields of science or perhaps more than them Mathematics needs abstract models to represent its core concepts and how they are related. Being abstract by nature, one could unadvisedly suppose that the task of building those conceptual models would be easier than the average case, which is not necessarily true. Mathematical modeling is a field of applied mathe...

In engineering practice, structures with identical components or parts are useful from several points of view: less information is needed to describe the system; designs can be conceptualized quicker and easier; made faster than during traditional complex assembly; finally, time achieve structure cost involved in manufacturing decrease. Additionally, subsequent maintenance this system then beco...
