1. 1. Students' perception of the role of mathematics in their physics education

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fysikundervisningens didaktik

   Author : Johan Walfridsson; Anders Arvidson; [2023]
   Keywords : Didactics; Physics education;

   Abstract : The deep interdisciplinarity between physics and mathematics is not always easy to grasp for students. Transferring mathematical skills to a physical context is demanding, and students mainly use mathematics tools (i.e., formulas) for pure calculations rather than as a basis for reasoning. READ MORE

3. 2. Diophantine Approximation and Dynamical Systems

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

   Author : Antony Lee; [2020]
   Keywords : diophantine approximation; continued fractions; sturmian sequences; hyperbolic geometry; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : The subject of diophantine approximation is a classical mathematic problem, as old as it is well studied. There are many different texts describing its connection to more modern areas of study, but few which do so with the aim of exploring the connections themselves. READ MORE

4. 3. The innate ability to cope with mathematics : A comparative fMRI study of children's and adults' neural activity during non-symbolic mathematical tasks

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : Maja Lindberg; [2019]
   Keywords : fMRI; number sense; numeric cognition;

   Abstract : Humans as well as animals are born with a number sense, an innate ability to make approximations (Dehaene, 1997). However, low numeracy is an issue today and have a larger impact on the individuals lives than poor reading abilities (Parsons & Bynner, 2006). READ MORE

6. 5. Experimental assessment of fluid hammer prediction algorithms

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Sjöfartshögskolan (SJÖ)

   Author : Jessica Kihlström; [2018]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Fluid hammer is a problem, which may lead to catastrophic consequences and many engineers have a deficiency in competence when it comes to its prediction. This study´s objective is to assess various fluid hammer prediction models, to evaluate how substantial pressure thrusts would affect a system and to verify the analytical results toward experimental data.
