Students' perspectives on the nature of mathematics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper reports on one small component of a much larger study that explored the perspectives of students towards mathematics learning. Students were asked “What do you think maths is all about?” Some students responded in terms of mathematical content.

About the limits of inverse systems in the category S(B) of Segal topological algebras [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2020
In this paper, we give a necessary condition for the existence of limits of all inverse systems and a sufficient condition for the existence of limits for all countable inverse systems in the category S(B) of Segal topological algebras.

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Students' conceptual understanding of limit of functions reviewed from mathematical beliefs

open access: yesJurnal Elemen
Conceptual understanding is a student’s cognitive structure characterised by the ability to transform and explain concepts in solving problems. Many students were unable to explain the concepts and the relationships between concepts in solving the limit

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Maori preservice primary teachers’ responses to mathematics investigations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
There has been concern for some years about the low mathematics achievement of Maori students in New Zealand. This case study reports on the responses of 18 Maori preservice teachers to investigative approaches to learning mathematics during their ...

The Use of GeoGebra in Teaching Mathematical Concepts: Practices, Barriers, and Teachers' Perceptions

open access: yesRevista Latinoamericana de Tecnología Educativa
The use of GeoGebra in teaching mathematics has grown significantly in recent years, so this study aims to explore the use of this software by teachers in teaching the limit of a function. For this purpose, a questionnaire has been designed and validated

Limiting Values and Functional and Difference Equations

open access: yesMathematics, 2020
Boundary behavior of a given important function or its limit values are essential in the whole spectrum of mathematics and science. We consider some tractable cases of limit values in which either a difference of two ingredients or a difference equation ...

Single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assays for high‐throughput DNA–protein interaction studies

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe an optimised single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assay that visualises DNA–protein interactions in real time. Linear DNA fragments are tethered to a surface and stretched by buffer flow for fluorescence imaging. Using λ and φX174 DNA, this protocol enhances reproducibility and accessibility, providing a versatile approach for studying diverse ...

Teaching science and mathematics to students with visual impairments: Reflections of a visually impaired technician

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Disability, 2015
This study reports on factors that limit the participation of blind and partially sighted learners in mathematics and science education. Since the teacher, still remains one of the most crucial factors in any education system, the researcher deemed it ...
