Wu, Dane W. Wu; Bangerter, Laura M. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2004
Given a set of urns, each filled with a mix of black chips and white chips, what is the probability of drawing a black chip from the last urn after some sequential random shifts of chips among the urns? The Total Probability Formula (TPF) is the common tool to solve such a problem. However, when the number of urns is more than two and the number…

Kim, T.; Ryoo, C. S.; Jang, L. C.; Rim, S. H. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science & Technology, 2005
The Bernoulli numbers are among the most interesting and important number sequences in mathematics. They first appeared in the posthumous work "Ars Conjectandi" (1713) by Jacob Bernoulli (1654-1705) in connection with sums of powers of consecutive integers (Bernoulli, 1713; or Smith, 1959). Bernoulli numbers are particularly important in number…

Ghusayni, B. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science & Technology, 2005
Some examples from different areas of mathematics are explored to give a working knowledge of the computer algebra system Maple. Perfect numbers and Mersenne primes, which have fascinated people for a very long time and continue to do so, are studied using Maple and some questions are posed that still await answers.
