This is an introduction to algebraic methods for calculating maximum matchings.

Prolog is a very different language compared with procedural or object-oriented languages, and developing a Prolog programming mindset is a challenge for many novices. In this paper, we consider a number of teaching approaches which instructors use to deliver basic ideas about Prolog to novices. We classify these approaches into three categories – “logic based”, “declarative features based” and...

This paper investigates the production of /h/ by French learners of German in comparison to German native speakers. Anecdotally, French speakers are assumed to delete /h/ when speaking German. We investigate the extent to which learners have problems producing /h/ and if advanced learners show different production patterns than beginners. When French speakers produce /h/ our analysis focuses on...

The teaching of computer programming is one of the greatest challenges that have remained for years in Computer Science Education. A particular case is computer programming course for the beginners. While the traditional objectivist lecture-based approaches do not actively engage students to achieve their learning outcome, we believe that integrating some cutting-edge processes and practices li...

Background. Reading the results of gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) with probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) by the expert was excellent. There is a lack of study on the learning curve for GIM interpretation. Therefore, we conducted a study to explore the learning curve in the beginners. Material and Method. Five GI fellows who had no experience in GIM interpretation had been tr...

We present a selection of a few discontinuous functions and we discuss some pedagogical advantages of using such functions in order to illustrate some basic concepts of mathematical analysis to beginners.

In order to get more people to use and understand simulation, improved teaching of simulation to beginners is important. The panel members share their experience in teaching the classic systems of simulation, used for several decades, to novice students.

Syntactic complexity has long been taken as a significant factor in determining writing quality by EFL learners. And researchers recent years have made lot of efforts to devise and verify wide range factors or indicators for the purpose measuring syntactic predicting quality. The present study discussed bases itself on self-built learner corpus with data collected over three years, aim applicab...

Although the broad outlines of the appropriate pipeline for cosmological likelihood analysis with CMB data has been known for several years, only recently have we had to contend with the full, large-scale, computationally challenging problem involving both highly-correlated noise and extremely large datasets (N > 1000). In this talk we concentrate on the beginning and end of this process. First...

Several systems discussed at this workshop on Spatio-Temporal Patterns in Nonequilibrium Complex Systems have been related to or analyzed in the context of the so-called Complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGL). What is the difference between the physics underlying the usual amplitude description for stationary patterns and the one underlying the CGL? Why are there many more stable coherent struc...
