A collaborative project using narratives: What happens when pupils work on mathematical investigations? [PDF]
Mathematical investigations involve searching for patterns, formulating, testing, and justifying conjectures, reflecting, and generalising. Doing investigations in the classroom is a powerful activity for students’ learning but poses many challenges to ...

Determining Critical Points of Handwritten Mathematical Symbols Represented as Parametric Curves
We consider the problem of computing critical points of plane curves represented in a finite orthogonal polynomial basis. This is motivated by an approach to the recognition of hand-written mathematical symbols in which the initial data is in such an orthogonal basis and it is desired to avoid ill-conditioned basis conversions. Our main contribution is
