In this paper, for a commutative ring R with an identity, considering the endomorphism ring $End_R$(M) of left R-module $_RM$ which is (quasi-)injective or (quasi-)projective, some discriminations of prime endomorphism were found as follows: each epimorphism with the irreducible(or simple) kernel on a (quasi-)injective module and each monomorphism with maximal image on a (quasi-)projective module are prime. It was shown that for a field F, any given square matrix in $Mat_{n{\times}n}$(F) with maximal image and irreducible kernel is a prime matrix, furthermore, any given matrix in $Mat_{n{\times}n}$(F) for any field F can be factored into a product of prime matrices.

Let $CS^{\alpha}(\beta)$ denote the class of normalized strongly $\alpha$-logarithmic close-to-convex functions of order $\beta$, defined in the open unit disk $\mathbb{U}$ by $$\|arg\{\(\frac{f(z)}{g(z)}\)^{1-\alpha}\(\frac{zf'(z)}{g(z)\)^{\alpha}\}\|\leq\frac{\pi}{2}\beta,\;(\alpha,\beta\geq0)$$ where $g{\in}S^*$ the class of normalized starlike functions. In this paper, we prove sharp $Fekete-Szeg\"{o}$ inequalities for functions $f{\in}CS^{\alpha}(\beta)$.

A large number of series and integral representations for the Stieltjes constants (or generalized Euler-Mascheroni constants) ${\gamma}_k$ and the generalized Stieltjes constants ${\gamma}_k(a)$ have been investigated. Here we aim at presenting certain integral representations for the generalized Stieltjes constants ${\gamma}_k(a)$ by choosing to use four known integral representations for the generalized zeta function ${\zeta}(s,a)$. As a by-product, our main results are easily seen to specialize to yield those corresponding integral representations for the Stieltjes constants ${\gamma}_k$. Some relevant connections of certain special cases of our results presented here with those in earlier works are also pointed out.

This study aimed to examine what effects the lessons based on some mathematical tools have on the students' interest and problem solving ability. For this study, 2 classes of 5th graders who go to an elementary school were chosen and divided into an applied class and a comparative class. The applied class were taught through the lesson plans based on the mathematical tools and reorganized worksheets, and the comparative class were taught through the regular lesson plans based on the text. After conducting the lessons, examinations were implemented to check out the students' interest level and problem solving ability in the procedure of before-exam, during-exam, and after-exam.

The purpose of this study is to look for the plan of reconstructing a textbook through error analysis and the process of its correction in numbers and operations of the first grade. The Research materials are collected and analyzed through the journal about every lessons, the recording sheets of students' activity, the recording videotapes during lessons, the individual interview and observation. This study investigated 4 errors which are useful for reconstructing textbook, the errors of understanding relation between numerical expression and number line, the errors of drawing-strategy, the errors of understanding relation between additive expression and subtractive expression, the errors of subtraction has to be regrouped. The errors are classified into some types and analyzed focusing on content of each error. Reinstructing are carried out based on material analyzed for correcting errors.

In this paper, we introduce an iterative sequence by using a hybrid generalized $f$-projection algorithm for finding a common element of the set of fixed points of a relatively weak nonexpansive mapping an the set of solutions of a generalized variational inequality in a Banach space. Our results extend and improve the recent ones announced by Y. Liu [Strong convergence theorems for variational inequalities and relatively weak nonexpansive mappings, J. Glob. Optim. 46 (2010), 319-329], J. Fan, X. Liu and J. Li [Iterative schemes for approximating solutions of generalized variational inequalities in Banach spaces, Nonlinear Analysis 70 (2009), 3997-4007], and many others.

This paper started from a question: Can it help a student solve the problem to give supports in point of view of a teacher knowing the solution. We performed a case study to get an answer for the question. We analysed a case which students do not make full use of data in the mathematical problem from this point of view of the mental representation. We examined closely the cause for not making full use of data. We got that the wrong mental representation which the students get from data in the problem lead to not making full use of data. We knew that it is insufficient to present the data not making use of. To help a student truly, it is necessary to give a aid based on a student's mental representation. From the conclusion of study, We got that figuring out student's mental representation is important and hope that many investigation about student's mental representation for various problem occur with frequency.

Let $S_p*({\alpha},{\beta},{\mu})$ denote the class of functions $f(z)=z^p-{\sum}{\limit}^{\infty}_{n=1}a_{p+n}\;z^{p+n}(a_{p+n}{\geq}o,\;p{\in}N)$ analytic and p-valent in the unit disc $U=\{z:{\mid}z{\mid}<1\}$ and satisfy the condition $${\mid}\frac{\frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}-p}{\mu\frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}+p-(1+\mu)\alpha}\mid<\beta,\;z{\in}U$$, where $o{\leq}{\alpha} and $o\leq\mu\leq1$. Further f(z) is said to belong to the class $C_p*({\alpha},{\beta},{\mu})\;if\;zf'(z)/p{\in}S_p*(\alpha,\beta,\mu)$. In this paper we obtain for these classes sharp results concerning coefficient estimates, disortion theorems, closure theorems, Hadamard products and some distortion theorems for the fractional calculus.

Let $S_o*({\alpha},{\beta},{\mu})$ denote the class of functions $f(z)=a_1z-{\sum}{\limit}^{\infty}_{n=2}\;a_nz^n$ analytic in the unit disc $U=\{z:{\mid}z{\mid}<1\}$ and satisfying the condition $${\mid}\frac{\frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}-1}{(1+\mu)\;\beta(\frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}-\alpha)-(\frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}-1)}\mid<1$$ for some $\alpha(0{\leq}{\alpha}<1),\;{\beta}(0<{\beta}{\leq}1),\;{\mu}(0{\leq}{\mu}{\leq}1)$ and for all $z{\in}U$. And it is the purpose of this paper to show a necessary and sufficient condition for the class $S_o*({\alpha},{\beta},{\mu})$, some results for the Hadamard products of two functions f(z) and g(z) in the class $S_o*({\alpha},{\beta},{\mu})$, the distortion theorem and the distortion theorems for the fractional calculus.

The Clausen function $Cl_2$(x) arises in several applications. A large number of indefinite integrals of logarithmic or trigonometric functions can be expressed in closed form in terms of $Cl_2$(x). Very recently, Choi and Srivatava [3] and Choi [1] investigated certain integral formulas associated with $Cl_2$(x). In this sequel, we present an interesting new definite integral formula for the Clausen function $Cl_2$(x) by using a known relationship between the Clausen function $Cl_2$(x) and the generalized Zeta function ${\zeta}$(s, a). Also an interesting integral representation for the Catalan constant G is considered as one of two special cases of our main result.
