In this paper, we analyze the influence of mathematics teaching-learning for high level math problems of A-type of mathematics section on the College Scholastic Ability Test(CSAT). To analyze the influence, we compare and analyze units and field of questions set at examinations based on the rate of wrong answers in A-type mathematics test of the CSAT from 2012 to 2016. Also, we study the recognition of academic high school students and teachers about units and fields on math which need to allow more time to improve grade for A-type of mathematics section on the CSAT. We found following facts. First, high level math problems determining rank of high rank students on the CSAT was taken mostly from the unit related a exponential function and a logarithmic function. Second, these problems need more time for a calculation rather than an ability for students to deepen their understanding of the concept and quality of education. Third, high rank students spend a lot of time to study more important units and fields of mathematics on the CSAT such as a exponential function and a logarithmic function, and teachers spend a lot of time to teach them.

The purpose of this paper is to study the solvability of the equation (E). In Section 2, we give preliminary definitions. In Section 3, we prove related two results (Theorem 1 and Corollary 1) concerning the closedness property of accretive operators in the class of spaces whose nonempty bounded closed convex subsets have the fixed point property for nonexpansive self-mapping. Using therem 1, we derive a result (Theorem 2) on the range of accetive operators in (.pi.)$_{1}$ spaces with a view to establishing a new result, which improves a result of Kartsatos [8] and Webb [15]. Further, we give an interesting consequence (Corollary 3) of Theorem 2. In section 4, we apply Corollary 1 to obtain two results (Theorem 3 and 4) for the range of sums of two accretive operators, which generalize two results of Reich [12].

It is widely recommended that teachers should actively mediate students' engagement with tools such as manipulative materials. This paper is to help to parse classroom life so that both social and psychological aspects are accounted for and coordinated. Building on the theory of affordances from ecological psychology and the activity theory from sociocultural perspectives, the main strategy of this paper is to view manipulative materials as simultaneously participating in social and psychological activity systems. Within these activity systems it is charted how both mathematical affordances related to the structure of mathematical concepts and ecological affordances related to socially situated classroom practices need to be considered by teachers in effective mediation of mathematical manipulatives. This paper has three major sections. The first section develops a theoretical extension of Gibson's theory of affordances from natural to social environments. The second section introduces mathematical and ecological affordances using empirical data from a grade two elementary school classroom. The third section illustrates the need of coordinating the two affordances as embedded in different activity systems.

A sumbanifold M of a quaternionic Kaehlerian manifold $\tilde{M}^m$ of real dimension 4m is called a generic submanifold if the normal space N(M) of M is always mapped into the tangent space T(M) under the action of the quaternionic Kaehlerian structure tensors of the ambient manifold at the same time.The purpose of the present paper is to study generic submanifold of quaternionic Kaehlerian manifold of constant Q-sectional curvature with nonvanishing parallel mean curvature vector. In section 1, we state general formulas on generic submanifolds of a quaternionic Kaehlerian manifold of constant Q-sectional curvature. Section 2 is devoted to the study generic submanifolds with nonvanishing parallel mean curvature vector and compute the restricted Laplacian for the second fundamental form in the direction of the mean curvature vector. As applications of those results, in section 3, we prove our main theorems. In this paper, the dimension of a manifold will always indicate its real dimension.

The conic sections are defined as algebraic expressions using the focus and the directrix in the high school curriculum. However it is difficult that students understand the conic sections without environment which they can manipulate the conic sections. To make up for this weak point, we have found the evidence for generating method of a conic section through a sundial and investigated the history of terms 'focus', 'directrix' and the tool of drawing them continuously.

The aim of the present work is to study the properties of three-dimensional Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu manifolds equipped with a Yamabe soliton. It is proved that every three-dimensional Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu manifold is Ricci semi-symmetric if and only if it is Einstein. Also, if the metric of a three-dimensional semi-symmetric Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu manifold is a Yamabe soliton, then the soliton is shrinking and the flow vector field is Killing. We also study the properties of three-dimensional Ricci symmetric and 𝜂-parallel Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu manifolds with Yamabe solitons. Finally, we give a non-trivial example of three-dimensional Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu manifold.

Mathematics and arts are reflection of the spirit of the ages, since they have human inner parallel vision. Therefore, in ancient Greek ages, the artists' cannon was actually geometric ratio, golden section. However, in middle ages, the Euclidean Geometry was disappeared according to the Monastic Mathematics, then the art was divided two categories, one was holy Christian arts and the other was secular arts. In this research, we take notice of Renaissance Painting and Perspective Geometry, since Perspective Geometry was influenced by Renaissance notorious painter, Massccio, Leonardo and Raphael, etc. They drew and painted works by mathematical principles, at last, reformed the paradigm of arts. If we can say Euclidean Geometry is tactile geometry, the Perspective Geometry can be called by visual geometry.

In [1], the definition of C*-Lie ternary (σ,τ,ξ)-derivation is not well-defined and so the results of [1, Section 4] on C*-Lie ternary (σ,τ,ξ)-derivations should be corrected.

In this paper, we exhibit the equivalence between different notions of unique range sets, namely, unique range sets, weighted unique range sets and weak-weighted unique range sets under certain conditions. Also, we present some uniqueness theorems which show how two meromorphic functions are uniquely determined by their two finite shared sets. Moreover, in the last section, we make some observations that help us to construct other new classes of unique range sets.

In this paper, we introduce a new generalized (a, b)-cubic Euler-Lagrange-Jensen functional equation and obtain its general solution. Furthermore, we prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of the new generalized (a, b)-cubic Euler-Lagrange-Jensen functional equation in orthogonality normed spaces.
