We obtained the region of convergence and the summation formula for some modified generalized hypergeometric series (1.2). We also investigated rationality of the sums of the power series (1.3). As a result the series (1.4) cannot be the same rational number in all Zp. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: 40A30,40D99

Introduction: In Pharmacy Diploma Program, mathematics is known as pharmaceutical mathematics. Due to the importance of pharmaceutical mathematics in practice, it is important to have a basic mathematical skill as a basis in calculations in pharmaceutical science. Therefore, it is necessary to create a lecturing condition that enables students more active in understanding the lessons. This rese...

Understanding the characteristics of Newtonian mathematics is great value. By analyzing some Newton’s representative mathematical contents, we found that: Newton used thought mechanization in his mathematics. applied to study not only calculus but arithmetic, algebra, polynomials, higher-order equation, geometry, series, differential etc. application this traditional very similar that ancient C...

“Discovering Advanced Mathematics” is the outcome of two years development of a series of textbooks to support the learning of mathematics in upper secondary schools in the UK. During the development phase of the project, a series of graphic calculator activities were developed to introduce various topics within the curriculum. Having gained confidence in using graphics calculators to introduce...

the control problem and dynamic programming is a powerful tool in economics and management. we review the dynamic programming problem from its beginning up to its present stages. a problem which was involved in physics and mathematics in i 7” century led to a branch of mathematics called calculus of variation which was used in economic, and management at the end of the first quarter of the 20” ...
