A relaxed block splitting preconditioner for complex symmetric indefinite linear systems
Open Mathematics, 2018 In this paper, we propose a relaxed block splitting preconditioner for a class of complex symmetric indefinite linear systems to accelerate the convergence rate of the Krylov subspace iteration method and the relaxed preconditioner is much closer to the ...

Sustaining interaction in a mathematical community of practice [PDF]
, 2005 This paper focuses on an activity in which students explore sequences through a game, using ToonTalk programming and a web-based collaboration system. Our analytical framework combines theory of communities of practice with domain epistemology.

Characterizing the use of mathematical knowledge in boundary crossing situations at work [PDF]
, 2007 The first aim of this paper is to present a characterisation of techno-mathematical literacies needed for effective practice in modern, technology-rich workplaces that are both highly automated and increasingly focused on flexible response to customer ...

LDAcoop: Integrating non‐linear population dynamics into the analysis of clonogenic growth in vitro
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Limiting dilution assays (LDAs) quantify clonogenic growth by seeding serial dilutions of cells and scoring wells for colony formation. The fraction of negative wells is plotted against cells seeded and analyzed using the non‐linear modeling of LDAcoop.

Pythagoras, 2015 In this article we argue that in South Africa the current format of legitimised participation and practice in the examination papers for Mathematical Literacy restricts successful apprenticeship in the discipline of scientific mathematics and limits ...

Univalent Foundations as a Foundation for Mathematical Practice [PDF]
, 2018 I prove that invoking the univalence axiom is equivalent to arguing 'without loss of generality' (WLOG) within Propositional Univalent Foundations (PropUF), the fragment of Univalent Foundations (UF) in which all homotopy types are mere propositions.

Overview of molecular signatures of senescence and associated resources: pros and cons
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Cells can enter a stress response state termed cellular senescence that is involved in various diseases and aging. Detecting these cells is challenging due to the lack of universal biomarkers. This review presents the current state of senescence identification, from biomarkers to molecular signatures, compares tools and approaches, and highlights ...

Learning from Euler. From Mathematical Practice to Mathematical Explanation
Philosophia Scientiæ, 2012 In his "Découverte d'un nouveau principe de mécanique" (1750) Euler offered, for the first time, a proof of the so-called Euler's Theorem. In this paper I will focus on Euler's original proof and I will show how a look at Euler's practice as a ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This study addressed how a senior research thesis is perceived by undergraduate students. It assessed students' perception of research skills, epistemological beliefs, and career goals in Biochemistry (science) and BDC (science‐business) students. Completing a thesis improved confidence in research skills, resilience, scientific identity, closed gender‐

Nietzsche’s Philosophy of Mathematics [PDF]
, 1999 Nietzsche has a surprisingly significant and strikingly positive assessment of mathematics. I discuss Nietzsche's theory of the origin of mathematical practice in the division of the continuum of force, his theory of numbers, his conception of the finite
