This report is intended to document beliefs that engineers working as senior high school teachers have in Mexico. Documents come from the analysis of answers provided for two tasks contained in a questionnaire: one of them is marking statements as true or false in relation to the derivative function; the second one is about solving different problems: calculation of derivative of piecewise functions and the calculation of maximum and minimum of a polynomial function. Results show the strengths, quasi-logical relations and grouping which are verified in their system of beliefs and knowledge.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for the object function used in optimal control or optimal design that sets the object function as simultaneous and then calculates the optimal value according to the Newton method. The proposed method calculates the optimal value simply using two inputs; object function and initial value, using the DDA(Direct Derivative Algorithm) which is a programmed ordinary derivative function that does not inquire the calculation of derivative function nor any inputs. And we have verified the usefulness of the algorithm for the optimal control and optimal dosing.

In this paper, we provide the notions of dual quaternions and their algebraic properties based on matrices. From quaternion analysis, we give the concept of a derivative of functions and and obtain a dual quaternion Cauchy-Riemann system that are equivalent. Also, we research properties of a regular function with values in dual quaternions and relations derivative with a regular function in dual quaternions.

The method to construct a surface from point data are widely known. But the way to make a surface from derivative data is not usually used since derivative data in engineering appears very often. In this paper, if more than one types of data among three possible data such as point data, first derivative data, second derivative data are given, we can construct a surface. If only first derivative data are given, we add a function value at the one point. If only second derivative data are given, we add a linear function.

Point collocation method based on the fast derivatives approximation of meshfree shape function is applied to solid mechanics in this study. Enhanced meshfree approximation with approximated derivative of shape function is reviewed, and formulation of linear elastic solid mechanics by point collocation method is presented. It implies that governing equation of solid mechanics with strong form is directly formulated without no numerical integration cells or grid. The regularity of weight function is not required due to a use of approximated derivative, so we propose the exponential type weight function that is discontinuous in first derivative. The convergence and stability of the proposed method is verified by passing the generalized patch test. Also, the efficiency and applicability of the proposed method in solid mechanics is verified by solving types of solid problems. Numerical results show that not only a use of proposed weight function leads lower error and higher convergence rate than that of the conventional weight functions, but also the improved collocation method with derivative approximation enables to compute the derivatives of shape function very fast and accurately enough to replace the classical direct derivative calculation.

This paper gives the expression of dual quaternions and provides differential operators in dual quaternions. The paper also represents the derivative of dual quaternion-valued functions by using a corresponding Cauchy-Riemann system in dual quaternions.

In general, a differential operator can be used as a tool of treating the local properties of given function. However, when the given function is varied with high frequency and has irregular form with non-stationary evolution it may not act its role sufficiently as in case of nowhere differentiable curves. In this paper we introduce a multi-scale derivative as a form of weakened global derivative so that it may explain its semi global diffusion properties as well as local ones for the various irregular diffusion phenomena.

In this study, we investigate the discontinuous-derivative treatment at the gas-liquid interface in underwater explosion (UNDEX) problems by using the Moving Least Squares-Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (MLS-SPH) method, which is known as one of the particle methods suitable for problems where large deformation and inhomogeneity occur in the whole domain. Because the numerical oscillation of pressure arises from derivative discontinuity in the UNDEX analysis using the standard SPH method, the MLS shape function with Discontinuous-derivative Basis Function (DBF) that is able to represent the derivative discontinuity of field function is utilized in the MLS-SPH formulation in order to suppress the nonphysical pressure oscillation. The effectiveness of the MLS-SPH with DBF is demonstrated in comparison with the standard SPH and conventional MLS-SPH though a shock tube problem and benchmark standard problems of UNDEX of a trinitrotoluene (TNT) charge.

With a gradual increase in research on teaching and learning calculus, there have been various studies about students' thinking about the derivative. This paper reviews the results of the existing empirical studies published in Korean and English. These studies mainly have shown that how students think about the derivative is related to their understanding of the related concepts and the representations of the derivative. There are also recent studies that emphasize the importance of how students learn the derivative including different applications of the derivative in different disciplines. However, the current literature rarely addressed how students think about the derivative in terms of the language differences, e.g., in Korean and English. The different terms for the derivative at a point and the derivative of a function, which shows the relation between concepts, may be closely related to students' thinking of the derivative as a function. Future study on this topic may expand our understanding on the role language-specific terms play in students' learning of mathematical concepts.

In this paper, we present some inequalities for the non-tangential derivative of f(z). For the function $f(z)=z+b_{p+1}z^{p+1}+b_{p+2}z^{p+2}+{\cdots}$ defined in the unit disc, with ${\Re}\(\frac{f^{\prime}(z)}{{\lambda}f{\prime}(z)+1-{\lambda}}\)$ > ${\beta}$, $0{\leq}{\beta}$ < 1, $0{\leq}{\lambda}$ < 1, we estimate a module of a second non-tangential derivative of f(z) function at the boundary point ${\xi}$, by taking into account their first nonzero two Maclaurin coefficients. The sharpness of these estimates is also proved.
