We show that the full version of the so-called ‘rural hospital theorem’ generalizes to many-to-many matching problems where agents on both sides of the problem have substitutable and weakly separable preferences. We also show that when agents’ preferences satisfy substitutability, the domain of weakly separable pref-

In this note, I extend the work of Echenique (forthcoming) to show that a model of many-to-many matching with contracts may be embedded into a model of many-tomany matching with wage bargaining whenever (1) all agents’ preferences are substitutable and (2) the matching with contracts model is unitary, in the sense that every contractual relationship between a given firm–worker pair is specified...

Introduction: In Pharmacy Diploma Program, mathematics is known as pharmaceutical mathematics. Due to the importance of pharmaceutical mathematics in practice, it is important to have a basic mathematical skill as a basis in calculations in pharmaceutical science. Therefore, it is necessary to create a lecturing condition that enables students more active in understanding the lessons. This rese...

This study focused on the factors that caused mathematics anxiety among undergraduate students with the aim of determining the influence of parents, teachers, society and peers on the development of mathematics anxiety. Grade level at which the anxiety started, and teaching strategies that contribute or reduce mathematics anxiety were investigated. Seventy three undergraduate students from one ...

the control problem and dynamic programming is a powerful tool in economics and management. we review the dynamic programming problem from its beginning up to its present stages. a problem which was involved in physics and mathematics in i 7” century led to a branch of mathematics called calculus of variation which was used in economic, and management at the end of the first quarter of the 20” ...

abraham ungar is professor in the department of mathematics at north dakota state university. after gaining his b.sc. (1965) and m.sc. (1967) from the hebrew university in pure mathematics and ph.d. (1973) from tel-aviv university in applied mathematics, he held a postdoctoral position at the university of toronto (1974). ungar moved from toronto to pretoria where he held the position of a seni...

König (1989) argues that there is a relation of duality between concessive and causal constructions. Therefore, he maintains, any account of the meaning of causal connectives like because, via duality, also provides an account of the meaning of concessive connectives such as although. This paper lists a number of problems with König's account. Appealing to notions central to relevance theory, i...
