  • In this study, we divided the teaching and learning of proof into three steps in the demonstrative geometry of the middle school mathematics. And then we surveyed the student's difficulties in the teaching and learning of proof by using of questionnaire. Results of this survey suggest that students cannot only understand the meaning of proof in the teaching and learning of proof but also they cannot deduce simple mathematical reasoning as judgement for the truth of propositions. Moreover, they cannot follow the hypothesis to a conclusion of the proposition It results from the fact that students cannot understand clearly the meaning and the role of hypotheses and conclusions of propositions. So we need to focus more on teaching students about the meaning and role of hypotheses and conclusions of propositions.

  • G$\ddot{o}$del's proof attempts to establish the existence of God by the definition that God is a being having all positive properties. The proof uses here second order modal logic system $S_5$ with the axiom ${\diamondsuit}{\Box}p{\rightarrow}{\Box}p$. We review the G$\ddot{o}$del's own version and prove his ontological theorems.

  • We prove a local unique continuation for Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger equations with time independent coefficients. The method of proof combines a technique of Fourier-Gauss transformation and a Carleman inequality for parabolic operator.

  • In general, the positive solution to biological reaction-diffusion equations is not unique. In this paper, we state the sufficient and necessary conditions of the existence of positive solutions, and give and the proof for the uniqueness of positive solutions for a certain elliptic interacting system.

  • We will give an example which is a normal Hausdorff countable dense homogeneous space but not a densely homogeneous space. Next, we will give a proof for the fact that every nondegenerate component of densely homogenous spaces is open and densely homogeneous.
