A questionnaire survey is conducted to identify the middle school students' abilities to recognize the proportional symbolic maps. After analyzing the data from the respondents, three facts could be concluded. First, the trends of under-estimation are represented as the power function and the degree of under-estimation is increased as the sequence of line, square, circle, sphere symbols. Second, the estimations of symbol size are effected by the number of symbols in the legend(3, 5, 7), the presentation methods of legends(linear, nested), and the system to scale the symbol size(mathematical, perceptual). Lastly, the size of symbols on the map tends to be over-estimated comparing to the symbols in the legend, and the differences between the first year and third year students to recognize the proportional symbol maps are not identified.

This study presents data from a year-long teaching experiment which illustrate how two seventh graders modified their multiplicative thinking and interacted with their representing symbols in the context of combinatorial problem situations. Damon was at the process of construction of recursively multiplicative thinking by modifying his multiplicative reasoning, but Carol appeared to remain at the stage of a binary multiplicative scheme. The two students' struggles with their representing symbols or represented symbols by the teacher show that even well-organized symbolic systems from teachers' perspective do not necessarily help students advance their mathematical capacity.

This study is related to reinforcement of the continuity between Nuri curriculum and elementary mathematics curriculum emphasized by 2015 revised national curriculum. Considering that teachers tend to rely much more on textbooks than on curriculum, we analyzed the continuity between math-related activities of Nuri manuals for teachers and the elementary mathematics textbooks and aimed to suggest several ways for securing the continuity based on the result of analyses. To do this, we compared and analyzed Nuri manuals (for ages three to five) for teachers and the first and second grade mathematics textbooks in three aspects: mathematical contents, mathematical terms and symbols, and mathematical processes. We adopted the same analysis framework including continuity, discontinuity and reverse continuity as the study on the continuity between Nuri curriculum and elementary mathematics curriculum. As a result, the results of analyses were revealed in three aspects, respectively. We also discussed the results and suggested some implications for securing the continuity of Nuri manuals for teachers and the elementary mathematics textbooks and for revising curriculum and its materials such as textbooks, workbooks or manuals for teachers.

In this paper we prove that if Toeplitz operators $T^{\alpha}_u$ with symbols in RW satisfy ${\parallel}uk^{\alpha}_z{\parallel}_{s,{\alpha}{\rightarrow}0$ as $z{\rightarrow}{\partial}\mathbb{D}$ then $T^{\alpha}_u$ is compact and also prove that if $T^{\alpha}_u$ is compact then the Berezin transform of $T^{\alpha}_u$ equals to zero on ${\partial}\mathbb{D}$.

This paper deals with the study of newly defined special function known as k-Bessel's function due to Gehlot [2]. Certain integral representations of k-Bessel's function are investigated. Known integrals of classical Bessel's function are seen to follow as special cases of our main results.

A matrix whose entries consist of the symbols +, -, 0 is called a sign-pattern matrix. We characterize the $n \times n$ irreducible sign-pattern matrices that are sign tripotent.

A matrix whose entries consist of the symbols +, - and 0 is called a sign pattern matrix. In [1], a graph theoretic characterization of sign idempotent pattern matrices was given. A question was given for the sign patterns which allow idempotence. We characterized the sign patterns which allow idempotence in the sign idempotent pattern matrices.

Let H and K be two Hilbert spaces, and let A and B be two bounded linear operators from H to K. We are interested in $RangeB^*{\supseteq}RangeA^*$. It is well known that this is equivalent to the inequality $A^*A{\geq}{\varepsilon}B^*B$ for a positive constant ${\varepsilon}$. We study conditions in terms of symbols when A and B are singular integral operators, Hankel operators or Toeplitz operators, etc.

We study Toeplitz operators $T_{\nu}$ on generalized Fock spaces $F^2_{\phi}$ with a locally finite positive Borel measures ${\nu}$ as symbols. We characterize operator-theoretic properties (boundedness and compactness) of $T_{\nu}$ in terms of the Fock-Carleson measure and the Berezin transform ${\tilde{\nu}}$.

We give a set of continuous characterizations for the homogeneous Triebel-Lizorkin spaces and use them to study boundedness properties of Fourier multiplier operators whose symbols satisfy a generalization of H$\ddot{o}$rmander's condition. As an application, we give new direct proofs of the imbedding theorems of the Sobolev type.
