Dima Arnold in My Life Unfortunately, I have never been Arnold’s student, although as a mathematician, I owe him a lot. He was just two years older than I, and according to the University records, the time distance between us was still less: when I was admitted to the Moscow State university as a freshman, he was a sophomore. We knew each other but did not communicate much. Once, I invited him ...

The project provides an opportunity to introduce students to the notion of algorithms, recursion and induction. It allows them to explore the interrelationship between recursion and iteration in a mathematical sense. Simultaneously, it introduces them to the idea of computational efficieny and rate of growth of functions. It provides a setting where students can perform basic efficiency analysi...

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a multidimensional instrument for college students’ readiness for online learning. Through a confirmatory factor analysis, the Online Learning Readiness Scale (OLRS) was validated in five dimensions: self-directed learning, motivation for learning, computer/Internet self-efficacy, learner control, and online communication self-efficacy. Rese...

Background: understanding the factors affecting academic performance is important to support and promote success of students. While there have been several studies on nursing students’ performance, role self-directed learning readiness, self-esteem, grit among Filipino students not well documented.Purpose: This study aimed determine relationship perceived students.Methods: correlational researc...

This is a guest editorial by LaTrease E. Garrison , chief operating officer of the American Chemical Society. “ I would say that it’s great resource to connect with others, not even in your field, get know more about broadly what’s going on science, have resources further knowledge now [and] chemistry, and ultimately be surrounded community people who are all trying progress towards common goal...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to observe the relationship between students’ cognitive abilities and their performance in organic chemistry. We were interested measuring whether some composites more predictive than others on chemistry performance, group differences existed males females, students with above below average abilities. For Study 1 2, our participants included 48 60 sophomor...

Computing was originally dominated by desktop and hence dataoriented systems. However, embedded and hence time-oriented systems, which must measure input events or generate output events of specified time durations, or must execute at regular time intervals, are increasingly commonplace. Blinking a light on and off for 1 second represents a “Hello World” example of a time-oriented system. Time-...

Researchers from four universities with strong engineering colleges collaborated on a project that seeks to isolate those factors and experiences that contribute most to the development of positive self-efficacy beliefs and, ultimately, to the increased retention of women in undergraduate engineering majors. A survey was developed to administer to students at each institution during their sopho...
