  1. 1. SCAFFOLDING MATHEMATICAL CONVERSATIONS:

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för pedagogik, kommunikation och lärande

    Author : Iuliana Mihaela Badica; [2023-10-10]
    Keywords : Interactive exhibit; mathematics; informal learning; science center; parent scaffolding; augmented reality;

    Abstract : Purpose: This study aims to address the current research gap on interactive mathematics exhibits by investigating parents’ role in supporting their children’s mathematics learning using such displays. In addition to this, the study examines the design of an interactive exhibit and explores whether it can facilitate mathematics learning among parents and children. READ MORE

  3. 2. Regulatory Driven Clustering of Single-Cell Data; Clustering of single-cell RNA sequencing from glioblastoma with a novel mathematical method

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för matematiska vetenskaper

    Author : Kári Kristjánsson; [2023-08-08]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Single-cell RNA sequencing has arisen as an important method to explore the gene expression of biological cells, including cancer cells. In this study, we deployed a computational algorithm known as ScRegClust to dissect single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from brain tumors. READ MORE

  4. 3. Ability Estimation Methods : An Introduction to Item Response Theory and Elo Education Systems

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Sebastian Hedberg; Salma Nasra; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The foundational testing of knowledge and ability is and has always been very important. These days we can create a computerized test that can vary based on the estimated skill of the examinee. This is called an adaptive test. And the aim of this is to estimate the ability of the examinee more precisely. READ MORE

  5. 4. Mathematical Unconcealment and the Surveying of Proofs

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Filosofiska institutionen

    Author : Jim Skog Pirinen; [2023]
    Keywords : philosophy of mathematics; Heidegger; Wittgenstein; surveyability; unconcealment;

    Abstract : Ever since the advent of computerized methods for solving mathematical problems, the concept of surveyability has played a central role in the debate surrounding what constitutes a mathematical proof. Ordinarily, it is by surveying the argument presented that the mathematician ascertains the truth of the conclusion, but with the advent of computer assisted technologies, there are mathematical conclusions known to be true without anyone ever having been able to survey the argument in its entirety.

  6. 5. Robustness Against Non-Normality : Evaluating LDA and QDA in Simulated Settings Using Multivariate Non-Normal Distributions

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Gånheim Viktor; Åslund Isak; [2023]
    Keywords : Classification; Linear Discriminant Analysis; Quadratic Discriminant Analysis; Normality Assumption;

    Abstract : Evaluating classifiers in controlled settings is essential for empirical applications, as extensive knowledge on model-behaviour is needed for accurate predictions. This thesis investigates robustness against non-normality of two prominent classifiers, LDA and QDA. READ MORE
