This study investigates pre-service teacher's understanding of the concept and representations of irrational numbers. We classified the representations of irrational numbers into six categories; non-fraction, decimal, symbolic, geometric, point on a number line, approximation representation. The results of this study are as follows. First, pre-service teachers couldn't relate non-fractional definition and incommensurability of irrational numbers. Secondly, we observed the centralization tendency on symbolic representation and the little attention to other representations. Thirdly, pre-service teachers had more difficulty moving between symbolic representation and point on a number line representation of ${\pi}$ than that of $\sqrt{5}$ We suggested the concept of irrational numbers should be learned in relation to various representations of irrational numbers.

While investigating the Lauricella's list of 14 complete second-order hypergeometric series in three variables, Srivastava noticed the existence of three additional complete triple hypergeo-metric series of the second order, which were denoted by $H_A$, $H_B$ and $H_C$. Each of these three triple hypergeometric functions $H_A$, $H_B$ and $H_C$ has been investigated extensively in many different ways including, for example, in the problem of finding their integral representations of one kind or the other. Here, in this paper, we aim at presenting further integral representations for the Srivatava's triple hypergeometric function $H_C$.

Exton introduced 20 distinct triple hypergeometric functions whose names are Xi (i = 1,$\ldots$, 20) to investigate their twenty Laplace integral representations whose kernels include the confluent hypergeometric functions $_0F_1$, $_1F_1$, a Humbert function $\Psi_2$, a Humbert function $\Phi_2$. The object of this paper is to present 25 (presumably new) integral representations of Euler types for the Exton hypergeometric function $X_5$ among his twenty $X_i$ (i = 1,$\ldots$, 20), whose kernels include the Exton function X5 itself, the Exton function $X_6$, the Horn's functions $H_3$ and $H_4$, and the hypergeometric function F = $_2F_1$.

Let R be a ring and $\mathcal{Q}$ be a quiver. In this paper we give another definition of purity in the category of quiver representations. Under such definition we prove that the class of all pure injective representations of $\mathcal{Q}$ by R-modules is preenveloping. In case $\mathcal{Q}$ is a left rooted semi-co-barren quiver and R is left Noetherian, we show that every cotorsion flat representation of $\mathcal{Q}$ is pure injective. If, furthermore, R is $n$-perfect and $\mathcal{F}$ is a flat representation $\mathcal{Q}$, then the pure injective dimension of $\mathcal{F}$ is at most $n$.

We aim to introduce a further extension of a family of the extended Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta functions of two variables. We then systematically investigate several interesting properties of the extended function such as its integral representations which provide extensions of various earlier corresponding results of two and one variables, its summation formula, its Mellin-Barnes type contour integral representations, its computational representation and fractional derivative formulas. A multi-parameter extension of the extended Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta function of two variables is also introduced. Relevant connections of certain special cases of the main results presented here with some known identities are pointed out.

Investigation of the number of representations as well as of projective representations of a finite group has been important object since the early of this century. The numbers are very related to the number of conjugacy classes of G, so that this gives some informations on finite groups and on group characters. A generally well-known fact is that the number of non-equivlaent irreducible representations, which we shall write as n.i.r. of G is less than or equal to the number of conjugacy classes of G, and the equality holds over an algebraically closed field of characteristic not dividing $\mid$G$\mid$. A remarkable result on the numbers due to Reynolds can be stated as follows.

Let .SIGMA. be a smooth compact manifold without boundary having the same homotopy type as a sphere, which is called a homotopy sphere. Supose a group G acts smoothly on .SIGMA. with the fixed point set .SIGMA.$^{G}$ consists of two isolated fixed points p and q. In this case, tangent spaces $T_{p}$ .SIGMA. and $T_{q}$ .SIGMA. at isolated fixed points, as isotropy representations of G are called Smith equivalent. Moreover .SIGMA. is called a supporting homotopy sphere of Smith equivalent representations $T_{p}$ .SIGMA. and $T_{q}$ .SIGMA.. The study on Smith equivalence has rich history, and for this we refer the reader to [P] or [Su]. The following question of pp.A.Smith [S] motivates the study on Smith equivalence.e.

It is well-known that if char𝕜 = 0, then an Artinian monomial complete intersection quotient 𝕜[x₁, …, x_n]/(x₁^a₁, …, x_n^a_n) has the strong Lefschetz property in the narrow sense, and it is decomposed by the direct sum of irreducible 𝖘𝖑₂-modules. For an Artinian ring A = 𝕜[x₁, x₂, x₃]/(x₁⁶, x₂⁶, x₃⁶), by the Schur-Weyl duality theorem, there exist 56 trivial representations, 70 standard representations, and 20 sign representations inside A. In this paper we find an explicit basis for A, which is compatible with the S₃-module structure.

In this paper, we propose a computer environment class for student's mental representations about non-Euclidean geometry. Through the software Cinderella, students construct knowledge about non-Euclidean geometry and recognize differentness between Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry. Also they recognize an existence of non-Euclidean geometry newly and its mental representations with images represented in Cinderella. In geometry class, we make students can use many representations systematically and can figure a visual internal image by emphasizing a transform process. And then students can reason about non-Euclidean geometry.
