چکیده
In this paper, we will outline some results of an NCETM (National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics) funded project that aimed to establish a professional development network with an open-source mathematical software – GeoGebra – in England. During the past few years a large international user and developer community has formed around various GeoGebra-related activities. Most teachers who are currently using GeoGebra have not received professional training in the implementation of the software in their teaching practices, but have begun using it due to their enthusiasm or encouragement by their colleagues. However, research suggests that, for the majority of teachers, solely providing technology is insufficient for the successful integration of technology into their teaching. It has been suggested that adequate training and collegial support boost teachers' willingness to integrate technology into their teaching and to develop successful technology-assisted teaching practices. Thus, in our project, involving nine experienced English teachers, we outlined some priorities for professional development and developing supporting materials for English teachers.

متن کاملNumerical algorithm for discrete barrier option pricing in a Black-Scholes model with stationary process
In this article, we propose a numerical algorithm for computing price of discrete single and double barrier option under the emph{Black-Scholes} model. In virtue of some general transformations, the partial differential equations of option pricing in different monitoring dates are converted into simple diffusion equations. The present method is fast compared to alterna...
متن کاملA New Technique of Reduce Differential Transform Method to Solve Local Fractional PDEs in Mathematical Physics
In this manuscript, we investigate solutions of the partial differential equations (PDEs) arising inmathematical physics with local fractional derivative operators (LFDOs). To get approximate solutionsof these equations, we utilize the reduce differential transform method (RDTM) which is basedupon the LFDOs. Illustrative examples are given to show the accuracy and reliable results. Theobtained ...
