Undergraduate Students' interest in taking quantitative vs. non quantitative courses has received limited attention even though it has important consequences for higher education. Previous studies have collected course interest ratings at the end of the courses as part of student evaluation of teaching (SET) ratings, which may confound prior interest in taking these courses with students' actua...

Extend a ranking method of trapezoidal fuzzy numbers to all fuzzy numbers by a weighting functions

Recently Abbasbandy and Hajjari (Computers and Mathematics with Applications57 (2009) 413-419) have introduced a ranking method for the trapezoidalfuzzy numbers. This paper extends theirs method to all fuzzy numbers,which uses from a defuzzication of fuzzy numbers and a general weightingfunction. Extended method is interesting for ranking all fuzzy numbers, and itcan be applied for solving and ...

All Liouville Numbers are Transcendental

In this Mizar article, we complete the formalization of one of the items from Abad and Abad’s challenge list of “Top 100 Theorems” about Liouville numbers and the existence of transcendental numbers. It is item #18 from the “Formalizing 100 Theorems” list maintained by Freek Wiedijk at http: //www.cs.ru.nl/F.Wiedijk/100/. Liouville numbers were introduced by Joseph Liouville in 1844 [15] as an ...

Marine sediments tell it like it was.
