This paper draws attention to certain linguistic features present in notes posted to a common computer data base (Knowledge Forum) by grade four, five and six students in two schools working on a set of mathematical generalising tasks. The notes exhibit some elements present in various sorts of student mathematical writing familiar from other contexts (for instance, accounts of classroom-based ...

You might try to argue that if the instructor is the target audience for your paper then you can omit facts because it is reasonable to assume that the person setting the assignment should be very familiar with all of the facts underlying their own questions. In reality, you are writing to convince the instructor that you have a clear understanding of the complexities of the question and that y...

Although considerable research has concentrated on online campaigning, it is still unclear how politicians use different social media platforms in political communication. Focusing on the German federal election campaign 2013, this article investigates whether election candidates address the topics most important to the mass audience and to which extent their communication is shaped by the char...

These supplementary notes are provided in an educational spirit. Section 2 shows how the cross-product formula for computing columns of the Jacobian emerges from direct calculus. Section 5 extends to arbitrary Euler angles. Our work is not limited to homogeneous coordinates or Euler angles. However, these representations are well known and chosen merely to present to a wider audience. In fact o...

Vaccine information of varying quality is available through many different sources. We describe the creation, release and utilization of ReadyVax, a new mobile smartphone app providing access to trustworthy, evidence-based vaccine information for a target audience of healthcare providers, pharmacists, and patients (including parents of children). We describe the information content and technica...

High performance scientific applications require efficient and fast collective communication operations. Most collective communication operations have been built on top of point-to-point send/receive primitives. Modern user-level protocols such as VIA and the emerging InfiniBand architecture support remote DMA operations. These operations not only allow data to be moved between the nodes with l...
