This is an attempt of a comprehensive survey of the results in which estimates of the norms of linear means of multiple Fourier series, the Lebesgue constants, are obtained by means of estimating the Fourier transform of a function generating such a method. Only few proofs are given in order to illustrate a general idea of techniques applied. Among the results are well known elsewhere as well a...

The paper elaborates on programming and computing 1970 to 1983 in the Swedish upper secondary school. Articles from contemporary journals and firsthand text sources are used. During that period, programming never qualified as a separate subject; it was a tool for problem solving in engineering, economics, and mathematics, and did become a literacy subject in its own right. Early adopters of com...

Coauthorship networks consist of links among groups of mutually connected authors that form a clique. Classical approaches using Social Network Analysis indices do not account for this characteristic. We propose two new cohesion indices based on a clique approach, and we redefine the network density using an index of variance of density. We have applied these indices to two coauthorship network...

This article explores the role of weblogs in promoting literacy in classroom settings. Literacy remains paramount in learning, not only for language development, but also as the foundation of all academic disciplines including science and mathematics. Storytelling ignites literacy and remains an important part of life from childhood through adulthood. Weblogs resemble personal journals or diari...

This study deals with the analysis of cited references in Web of Science (WoS) to e-prints on arXiv. Created in 1991, arXiv accelerated the scholarly communication and developed into a well-established e-print repository that functions as an essential access point to the latest research in physics, astrophysics, mathematics, computer science and related fields. Authors evidently rely on arXiv f...

This is a collection of Kit Fine’s nontechnical papers in metaphysics and the philosophy of language. Recent work on essence is omitted, as are papers in the philosophy of mathematics and on mixtures, compounds and aggregates. Nevertheless, this volume provides an excellent overview of Fine’s penetrating investigations into central areas of philosophy. Two of the papers are previously unpublish...
