Abstract Although reasoning is a central concept in mathematics education research, the discipline still need of coherent theoretical framework mathematical reasoning. With respect to epistemological problems dominant discourses on proof, modelling, and post-truth politics discipline, accordance with trends philosophy research general, it argued that necessary give relativist account Hacking’s ...

In light of the understanding that the analysis of the generic features of different academic genres can enhance the ability of non-native members of academic discourse communities to understand, and where appropriate, to produce them, the present study aimed at investigating the dominant generic structure of research articles in mathematics. To start with a relatively narrow focus, a corpus of...

Although on many occasions, especially at FM conferences, highlights of the use of Formal Methods in software development are presented, FM plays just a minor role in both the everyday work of software engineers as well as Computer Science and Software Engineering curricula. To me, one of the main reasons for the status quo is that mathematics education, as it is usually done today, does not en...

Peter Carruthers, the scientist, was a man of remarkable mathematical and physical culture. He had also something which is less common now a days, namely a profound physical intuition which guided him to approach in an original way the most interesting problems at a given moment and in this way he became a guide also for others. Multiparticle dynamics being by definition a many-body problem, it...

this study historically analyzes the scientific output of mathematics to describe its structure, notions and scientific origin using the historiographical method. the research data consisted of scientific outputs of mathematics in isi database, science citation index (sci) and social science citation index (ssci) during 8 years (1990 to 2007). the data collection tool was the search engine and ...

The Effect of Using Supportive Teaching Strategies on Student Learning and Remembering   M. Samiee Zafarghandi, Ph.D.* M. Iravaanimanesh**   Learning many of the concepts in mathematics are challenging for many students. To help students overcome these challenges, teachers employ appropriate teaching strategies. One such set of strategies aim at building supportive scaffoldings. ...

M athematics and music have been intertwined in a long-running drama that stretches back to ancient times and has featured contributions from many great minds, including Pythagoras, Euclid, Mersenne, Descartes, Galileo, Euler, Helmholtz, and many others (see, e.g., [1]). Applications of mathematics to music continue to develop in today’s digital world, which also supports active communities of ...
