In this paper we use uniform cubic spline polynomials to derive some new consistency relations. These relations are then used to develop a numerical method for computing smooth approxi-mations to the solution and its first second as well as third derivatives for a second order boundary value problem. The proesent method out-performs other collocations finite-difference and splines methods of the same order. numerical illustratiosn are provided to demonstrate the practical use of our method.

In this paper, the problem of determining the optimal car-deriving strategy has been examined. In order to find the optimal driving strategy, we have modified a method based on measure theory. Further, we demonstrate that the modified method is an efficient and practical algorithm for dealing with optimal control problems in a canonical formulation.

We consider a possible generalization of nondeterministic finite automata. The goals of this consideration are: to apply some obtained algorithms for various problems of minimization of classical nondeterministic automata; to use such automata for describing practical anytime algorithms for the same problems of minimization; to simplify some proofs for algorithms of simplification for usual nondeterministic automata.

This paper is devoted to the parallelism of a numerical matrix eigenvalue problem. The eigenproblem arises in a variety of applications, including engineering, statistics, and economics. Especially we try to approach the industrial techniques from mathematical modeling. This paper has developed a parallel algorithm to find all eigenvalues. It is contributed to solve a specific practical problem, a vibration problem in the industry. Also we compare the runtime between the serial algorithm and the parallel algorithm for the given problems.

A nonparametric procedure for testing exponentially against used better than aged in expectation (UBAE) class of life distributions is presented. We construct a test statistics based on scaled total time on test (TTT)-transformation, to test exponentiality against UBAE class of life distributions. The distribution of the statistic is investigated via simulation. Practical applications of the proposed test are presented.

Choosing to See: A Framework for Equity in the Math Classroom is a book intended to be a practical tool for teachers to build empowering mathematics classrooms for their students from marginalized groups. Pamela Seda and Kyndall Brown provide concrete guidance using seven key principles, the ICUCARE (pronounced "I See You Care") Equity Framework, to provide a pathway for teachers for how to meaningfully make their classrooms a more equitable space for all students.

This paper is about didactical transposition, which is to transpose academic knowledge into practical knowledge intended to teach. The research questions are addressed as follows. 1. Are the 13 mathematics textbooks of the 10-Na level indisputable regarding with the didactical transposition, in terms that the order of arrangement and the way of explaining the knowledge of trigonometric functions being analyzed and that its logical construction and students' understandings are considered? 2. Can some transpositions for easier use of didactical manipulative, for more practical and for more principle based be proposed? To answer these questions, this research examined previous studies of mathematics education, specifically the organization of the textbook and the trigonometric functions, and also compared orders of arranging and ways of explaining trigonometric functions from the perspective of didactical transposition of 13 versions of the 10-Na level reorganized under the 7th curriculum. The paper investigated what lacks in the present textbook and sought a teaching guideline of trigonometric functions(especially about sector and graph, period, characters of trigonometric function, and sine rule).

The purpose of this study through ethnographic inquiry is to describe how an elementary teacher teaches mathematics with understanding. The ways that teachers'beliefs affect instructional activities, what means understanding from the view of cognitive psychology, and ethnographic research tradition were reviewed to anchor theoretical background of this study. A third-grade teacher and his 45 students were selected in order to capture vivid and thick descriptions of the teaching and learning activities of mathematics. Three major sources of data, that is, participant-observation with video taping, formal and informal interviews with the teacher and his students, and a variety of official documents were collected. These data were analyzed through two phases: data analysis in the field and after the fieldwork. According to data analysis, ‘teaching mathematics with understanding’ was identified as the teachers central belief of teaching mathematics. In order to implement his belief in teaching practices, the teacher made use of three strategies: ⑴ valuing individual student's own way of understanding, ⑵ bring students' everyday experiences into mathematics classroom, and ⑶ lesson objectivies stated by students. It is suggested for future research that concrete and specific norms of mathematics classroom for the improvement of mathematics understanding are needed to be identified and that experienced and skillful teachers' practical knowledge should be incorporated with theories of teaching mathematics and necessarily paid more attention by mathematics educators.

In Korea, mathematics education has been changed according to the 7th national mathematics curriculum renovated by the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development announcement in 1997. The education of probability and Statistics has been carried out as a part of this curriculum. We analyze and compare 3 kinds of mathematics textbooks for 10-12 grade students. Descriptions of random variable, sample variance and sample standard deviation, distribution of sample mean, and etc. which are on some textbooks, are misleaded in school education. We suggest the unbiased estimator of sample variance in textbooks and distributions of sample means with normal population assumption.

This paper is concerned by the controllability results of impulsive neutral stochastic functional integrodifferential equations (INSFIDEs) driven by fractional Brownian motion with infinite delay in a real separable Hilbert space. The controllability results are obtained using stochastic analysis, Krasnoselkii fixed point method and the theory of resolvent operator in the sense of Grimmer. A practical example is provided to illustrate the viability of the abstract result of this work.
