Primary teachers’ affect: a crucial variable in the teaching of mathematics
NOMAD Nordic Studies in Mathematics Education, 2012Mathematics education is strongly interested in defining ”what is necessary for teaching mathematics effectively”. The main directions of research emphasize the cognitive side of the answer to this question, trying to describe what kind of knowledge

The Metaphysics and Mathematics of Arbitrary Objects
, 2019Building on the seminal work of Kit Fine in the 1980s, Leon Horsten here develops a new theory of arbitrary entities. He connects this theory to issues and debates in metaphysics, logic, and contemporary philosophy of mathematics, investigating the ...

Variables in Elementary Mathematics Education
The Elementary School Journal, 2016AbstractIn this article, I analyze episodes from two third-grade classrooms drawn from a larger classroom teaching experiment to explore how these students began to incorporate nonnumerical symbols in their mathematical expressions when asked to represent indeterminate quantities.

Affective Variables and Mathematics Education
The Elementary School Journal, 1984to general feelings such as liking/disliking of mathematics, nor is it meant to exclude perceptions of the difficulty, usefulness, and appropriateness of mathematics as a school subject. There are several ways affective variables are related to mathematics learning. It is likely that a student who feels very positive about mathematics will achieve at a

GIRLS AND MATHEMATICS: PARENTAL VARIABLES
British Journal of Educational Psychology, 1979S ummary . 234 girls taking A‐level mathematics were compared with 265 girls taking A‐level French. They were more reserved (A), stable (C), tough‐minded (I), radical (Q1) and group‐dependent (Q2) on the 16PF, and less ...

Variables in Mathematics Education
2011This paper suggests that consistently referring to variables as placeholders is an effective countermeasure for addressing a number of the difficulties students' encounter in learning mathematics. The suggestion is supported by examples discussing ways in which variables are used to express unknown quantities, define functions and express other ...

Complex Variables in Industrial Mathematics
1988Complex analysis has long been regarded both as an elegant subject in its own right, and as a powerful tool in applied mathematics. The subject has inescapable limitations, however, and it might be said that it has been superseded by more modern methods.

Constrained mathematics analysis of uncertain variables
SMC'98 Conference Proceedings. 1998 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (Cat. No.98CH36218), 2002Analyses (e.g., safety analyses and reliability analyses) that are based on variable or uncertain inputs need to reflect the ranges of potential output variability or uncertainty. A challenging problem in mathematically processing the operands is that constraints inherent in the problem definition can require computations that are difficult to ...
