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.

The Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2019 We identify a recent trend in school mathematics as well as in some of the research literature in mathematics education: an emphasis on the practical uses of mathematics and an increased emphasis on verbalizations as opposed to numerical and ...

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.

Lange on Mathematical Explanation, Grounding, and the Divergence Thesis
CríticaMark Lange has defended the view that mathematical explanation and grounding explanation diverge. In this paper, I argue that at least one type of grounding relation is immune to his criticisms. After fixing a minimal separatist theory of ground, I show

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.

Introducing the Philosophy of Mathematical Practice
This Element introduces a young field, the 'philosophy of mathematical practice'. We first offer a general characterisation of the approach to the philosophy of mathematics that takes mathematical practice seriously and contrast it with 'mathematical ...

Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2018 Summary We examined the effect of distributed practice on the mathematical performance of third and seventh graders ( N = 213) in school. Students first received an introduction to a mathematical topic, derived from their curriculum.

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.

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 ...
