In this paper, In this paper, we study the recognition of undergraduate students and professors about the relation between mathematics learning contents of high school liberal arts course and major fields of college of business administration. We chose 155 undergraduate students and 6 professors at college of business administration in M university and investigate their recognition about the relation between mathematics learning contents of high school liberal arts course and major fields of college of business administration. We found following facts. First, mathematics education in high school should be based on understanding of mathematical conceptions and principles rather than problem-solving skills to intensifying the relation between mathematics of high school liberal arts course and major fields of college of business administration. Second, we have impressed upon them, whom are going to college of business administration, the need for more mathematics to study a major field.

This study investigates the change in two theoretical constructs, attitudes toward mathematics and mathematics self-efficacy, among college students involved in a learning community model. The case of this study was a developmental mathematics class offered at a historically black college located in the southeastern United States. Subjects included 31 students enrolled in an introductory mathematics course, some of whom participated in a learning community (treatment group). The participants completed mathematics attitudes and mathematics efficacy instruments twice: at the beginning of the semester and again at the end. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and a non-parametric statistic. The results showed that students' attitudes toward mathematics and mathematics self-efficacy are strongly correlated; the mathematical problem-solving efficacy changed significantly over time and it is significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group; and the treatment group produced better outcomes. These findings indicate that a learning community model can increase students' mathematics self-efficacy beliefs. It is recommended that mathematics self-efficacy and attitudes toward mathematics be measured over an extended period of time when a learning community is implemented.

In this paper, the existence of bounded positive solution of the second-order nonlinear neutral differential equations are studied. Some new sufficient conditions are given. Furthermore, examples given show that the results here are almost sharp.

In this paper, we develop a new hybridization conjugate gradient method for solving the unconstrained optimization problem. Under mild assumptions, we get the sufficient descent property of the given method. The global convergence of the given method is also presented under the Wolfe-type line search and the general Wolfe line search. The numerical results show that the method is also efficient.

Practical stability is a significant practical importance in scientific and engineering problems but less investigated. In this paper, we studied practical stability in swarms system and present new results.

In this paper, we study the regularity of induced splittings from multisplitting and two-stage multisplitting methods of monotone matrices under the assumption that splittings are weak regular, and we also study some comparison theorems for two-stage multisplitting methods of monotone matrices.

In view of ideas for semigroups, fractional calculus, resolvent operator and Banach contraction principle, this manuscript is generally included with existence and controllability (EaC) results for fractional neutral integro-differential systems (FNIDS) with state-dependent delay (SDD) in Banach spaces. Finally, an examples are also provided to illustrate the theoretical results.

In this paper, by introducing a parameter, we establish a new Ostrowski's integral inequality which generalizes the result of [5]. Finally, we apply the new Ostrowski's inequality to numerical integration and special means.
