  • Taylor series has a complicated structure comprising of various concepts in college major mathematics. This subject is a strong tool which has usefulness and applications not only in calculus, analysis, and complex analysis but also in physics, engineering etc., and other study. However, students have difficulties in understanding mathematical structure of Taylor series convergence correctly. In this study, after classifying students' mathematical characteristic into three categories, we use structural image of Taylor series convergence which associated with mathematical structure and operation acted on that structure. Thus, we try to analyze the understanding of Taylor series convergence and present the results of this study.

  • The purpose of this study is to uncover weaknesses in the constructivism in mathematics education and to search for ways to complement these deficiencies. We contemplate the relationship between the capability of construction and the performance of it, with the view of the 'Twofold-Structure of Mind.' From this, it is claimed that the construction of mathematical knowledge should be to experience and reveal the upper layer of Mind, the Reality. Based on the examination on the conflict and relation between the structuralism and the constructivism, with reference to the 'theory of principle' and the 'theory of material force' in Neo-Confucianist theory, it is asserted that the construction of mathematical knowledge must be the construction of the structure of mathematical knowledge. To comprehend the processes involved in the construction of the structure of mathematical knowledge, the epistemology of Michael Polanyi is studied. And also, the theory of mathematization, the historico-genetic principle, and the theory on the levels of mathematical thinking are reinterpreted. Finally, on the basis of the theory of twofold-structure, the roles and attitudes of teachers and students are discussed.

  • Based on author's practice of instructing Chinese gifted students to join the Chinese Mathematics Olympic (CMO), the paper adopted test analysis model of the Scholastic Aptitude Test of Mathematics (SAT-M), tested mathematics ability of 212 mathematical gifted students to join the CMO, applied correlation analysis and factor analysis and proposed the mathematics ability structure in Chinese gifted students including comprehensive operation ability, logic thinking ability, abstract generalization ability, spatial imagination ability, memory ability, transfer ability and intuition thinking ability. And it analyzed the expression form of these abilities respectively and gave some suggestion on mathematics teaching about gifted Chinese students.

  • As will be seen, this paper is tries that the research on the mathematical structure of Markov process and Markovian sequential decision process (the policy improvement iteration method,) moreover, that it analyze the logic and the characteristic of behavior of mathematical model of Markov process. Therefore firstly, it classify, on research of mathematical structure of Markov process, the forward equation and backward equation of Chapman-kolmogorov equation and of kolmogorov differential equation, and then have survey on logic of equation systems or on the question of uniqueness and existence of solution of the equation. Secondly, it classify, at the Markovian sequential decision process, the case of discrete time parameter and the continuous time parameter, and then it explore the logic system of characteristic of the behavior, the value determination operation and the policy improvement routine.

  • It is known that there are no real hypersurfaces with parallel structure Jacobi operator $R_{\xi}$ (cf.[16], [17]). In this paper we investigate real hypersurfaces in a nonflat complex space form using some conditions of the structure Jacobi operator $R_{\xi}$ which are weaker than ${\nabla}R_{\xi}$ = 0. Under further condition $S\phi={\phi}S$ for the Ricci tensor S we characterize Hopf hypersurfaces in a complex space form.

  • The smash product algebra has been generalized to general smash product algebra in [3] and we can generalize the smash coproduct coalgebra to obtain the general smash coproduct coalgebra. It is natural to replace the smash product and smash coproduct by the generalized smash product and generalized smash coproduct and consider the condition under which the generalized smash product algebra structure and the generalized smash coproduct coalgebra structure will inherit a bialgebra structure or a Hopf algebra structure. We derive necessary sufficient conditions for the problem. This generalizes the corresponding results in [7] and [4].

  • In this paper, using pseudo-spherical Frenet frame of pseudo-spherical curves in hyperbolic space, we define the notion of the structure functions on the non-developable ruled surfaces with timelike ruling. Then we obtain the properties of the structure functions and a complete classification of the non-developable ruled surfaces with timelike ruling in Minkowski 3-space by the theories of the structure functions.

  • In this paper, a two species competitive model with stage structure and harvesting is investigated. By using the differential inequality theory, some new sufficient conditions which ensure the permanence of the system are established. Our result supplements the main results of Song and Chen [Global asymptotic stability of a two species competitive system with stage structure and harvesting, Commun. Nonlinear Sci. Numer. Simul. 19 (2001), 81-87].

  • Let G be a compact Lie group and M a semialgebraic G space in some orthogonal representation space of G. We prove that if G is finite then M has an equivariant semialgebraic triangulation. Moreover this triangulation is unique. When G is not finite we show that M has a semialgebraic G CW complex structure, and this structure is unique. As a consequence compact semialgebraic G space has an equivariant simple homotopy type.
