Seeing the Forest and the Trees When Writing a Mathematical Proof
One of the typical challenges facing a mathematics student when writing a proof is the need to understand the interplay of details and broader concepts.

Mathematics as the Vital Force of Architecture [PDF]
This article shows that mathematics serves as a vital force in architecture. By comparing the characteristics that Hans Dreisch attributes to the vital force with the characteristics of mathematical proportions in architecture, this paper demonstrates that both can be seen as principles of individuation, both can be the source of equipotentiality, and ...

Mathematical framework for traction force microscopy [PDF]
Summary: This paper deals with the \textit{Traction Force Microscopy} (TFM) problem. It consists in obtaining stresses by solving an inverse problem in an elastic medium, from known experimentally measured displacements. In this article, the application is the determination of the stresses exerted by a living cell at the surface of an elastic gel.

Forces for Change in Mathematics Education: The Case of TIMSS
The results of the Third International Study in Mathematics and Science Education (TIMSS) were published in 1996/7. Since that time the participating countries have reacted in a variety of ways to the comparative performance of their students. This article investigates the diverse effects these reactions have had on mathematics curricula and teaching ...

Explosion of Forces: the Provance of Mathematical Modeling in Brazilian Mathematics Education
This article reports the analysis, based on the power relations of an era, of the reasons for the emergence of the mathematical modeling discourse in Brazilian mathematics education. Pointedly, we used theoretical-methodological contributions linked to the theories of the philosopher Michel Foucault.

Mathematical Proof of Duality Between Forces
Extending the results of the previous paper on predicting the values of coupling constants. This paper purpose is the show that we can .turn one force to another in a rather simple and elegant fashion. No physics used.

The role of aerodynamic forces in a mathematical model for suspension bridges
In a fish-bone model for suspension bridges studied by us in a previous paper we introduce linear aerodynamic forces. We numerically analyze the role of these forces and we theoretically show that they do not influence the onset of torsional oscillations.
