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.

프랑스 혁명이라는 렌즈를 통하여 사회적 변화가 수학에 어떠한 경로로 어떤 변화를 야기 시키게 되었는지를 다루고자 한다. 혁명의 소용돌이 속에서 활동한 주요한 수학자들의 삶의 궤적을 추적함으로써 수학자 개인 혹은 집단과 사회의 관계를 볼 것이다. 혁명은 모든 분야에 새로운 가능성을 불어넣는다. 새로운 국가는 위기타개를 위해 과학자들에 의무를 부여하고 이에 대응하는 과정에서 과학자 집단이 생겨나게 된다. 이는 수학에 있어서도 예외는 아니었다. 정치적 재배치와 에꼴 폴리테크닉으로 대변되는 교육 개혁은 수학에 있어서 카르노와 몽주로 대변되는 소수의 새로운 기하학 분야가 주류의 해석학과 어깨를 견줄 정도로 성장하게 되는 계기를 제공하게 되는 사실을 살펴본다.

This study explores the relations between mathematics and the natural human language. At the very outset, a general definition of language was, given while it was attempted to make some comparisons between the words of natural language and mathematical symbols at that. Besides, the occupation of natural language functions within mathematics was handled. Consequently, it was tried to manifest that the language of mathematics enjoys the features of natural language as well. Mathematics makes use of many functional and structural features. The fact that fundamental ingredient of mathematics is symbols does not change this reality.

A mathematical model for cold rolling and temper rolling process of thin steel strip has been developed using the influence function method. By solving the equations describing roll gap phenomena in a unique procedure and considering more influence factors, the model offers significant improvements in accuracy, robustness and generality of the solution for the thin strip cold and temper rolling conditions. The relationship between the shape of the roll profile and the roll force is also discussed. Calculation results show that any change increasing the roll force may result in or enlarge the central flat region in the deformation zone. Applied to the temper rolling process, the model can well predict not only the rolling load but also the large forward slip. Therefore, the measured forward slip, together with the measured roll force, was used to calibrate the model. The model was installed in tile setup computer of a temper rolling mill to make parallel setup calculations. The calculation results show good agreement with the measured data and the validity and precision of the model are proven.

We are devoted to dealing with the conformal theory of a Rizza manifold with a generalized Finsler metric $G_{ij}$ (x,y) and a new conformal invariant non-linear connection $M^{i}$ $_{j}$ (x,y) constructed from the generalized Cern's non-linear connection $N^{i}$ $_{j}$ (x,y) and almost complex structure $f^{i}$ $_{j}$ (x). First, we find a conformal invariant connection ( $M_{j}$ $^{i}$ $_{k}$ , $M^{i}$ $_{j}$ , $C_{j}$ $^{i}$ $_{k}$ ) and conformal invariant tensors. Next, the nearly Kaehlerian (G, M)-structures under conformal change in a Rizza manifold are investigate.

A knot complement admits a pseudo-hyperbolic structure by solving Thurston's gluing equations for an octahedral decomposition. It is known that a solution to these equations can be described in terms of region variables, also called w-variables. In this paper, we consider the case when pinched octahedra appear as a boundary parabolic solution in this decomposition. The w-solution with pinched octahedra induces a solution for a new knot obtained by changing the crossing or inserting a tangle at the pinched place. We discuss this phenomenon with corresponding holonomy representations and give some examples including ones obtained from connected sum.

In this paper we consider the concept of statistical causality in continuous time between flows of information, represented by filtrations. Then we relate the given concept of causality to the equivalent change of measure that plays an important role in mathematical finance. We give necessary and sufficient conditions, in terms of statistical causality, for extremality of measure in the set of martingale measures. Also, we have considered the extremality of measure which involves the stopping time and the stopped processes, and obtained similar results. Finally, we show that the concept of unique equivalent martingale measure is strongly connected to the given concept of causality and apply this result to the continuous market model.

The purpose of this study is to analyze effects on storytelling materials of statistics in the middle school classroom lesson. For this purpose, a story is developed by the Zazkis & Liljedahl's model and applied to the 7th graders of 4 classes in a middle school. After the comparison between 5 hours of storytelling lessons and ordinary lessons, the following research findings are obtained. First, storytelling material brings a positive effect on student's academic achievement. It is also shown by the qualitative analysis that this result was caused by cognition of data observation, data transformation, and unification of data with context. Second, storytelling material brings a positive effect on student's affective attitude. It is also validated by the qualitative analysis that students show the positive change in mathematical value cognition and the interests in the lesson.

External barrier options are two-asset options with stochastic variables where the payoff depends on one underlying asset and the barrier depends on another state variable. The barrier state variable determines whether the option is knocked in or out when the value of the variable is above or below some prescribed barrier level. This paper derives the explicit analytic solution of the chained option with an external single or double barrier by utilizing the probabilistic methods - the reflection principle and the change of measure. Before we do this, we examine the closed-form solution of the external barrier option with a single or double-curved barrier using the methods of image and double Mellin transforms. The exact solution of the external barrier option price enables us to obtain the pricing formula of the chained option with the external barrier more easily.

This paper reports on the learning journeys in mathematical problem solving of 21 teachers enrolled on a Masters of Education course entitled Discrete Mathematics and Problem Solving. It draws from the reports written by these teachers on their personal journeys: the commonalities and differences among them in terms of how they look at their own problem solving experiences, what language they employ in talking about problem solving, and what impact the course has on their views about problem solving. One particular aspect of problem solving instruction, a pedagogical innovation called the Practical Worksheet, is addressed in some detail. These graduate students are full-time mathematics teachers with at least two years of classroom experience. They include primary and secondary teachers.
