Sauerheber, Richard Dexter; Stewart, Tony – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Properties of curved functions considered to be parallel over their domains are investigated. Parallel curves in a given plane may appear identical but are actually not superimposable and thus are not congruent. Translational shifted functions in a plane are not parallel curves because the shortest perpendicular distance between them is not…

Richard F. Melka; Hashim A. Yousif – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
In application-oriented mathematics, particularly in the context of nonlinear system analysis, phase plane analysis through SageMath offers a visual display of the qualitative behaviour of solutions to differential equations without inundating students with cumbersome calculations of the plane-phase. A variety of examples is usually given to…

Rabiei, Nima; Saleeby, Elias G. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
In the multivariable calculus course, a standard application of triple integration is to find volumes of bounded regions in R[superscript 3]. In this article, we consider the problem of computing volumes, by way of examples, of regions bounded by planes and quadric surfaces. For illustration, we present the solution to two basic but non-standard…

Németh, László – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
Several articles deal with tilings with squares and dominoes on 2-dimensional boards, but only a few on boards in 3-dimensional space. We examine a tiling problem with coloured cubes and bricks on a (2 × 2 × "n")-board in three dimensions. After a short introduction and the definition of breakability we show a way to get the number of…

Arribas, E.; Escobar, I.; Ramirez-Vazquez, R. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
In the article 'How Long Is My Toilet Roll--A Simple Exercise in Mathematical Modelling' several models of increasing complexity are introduced and solved to calculate indirectly the length of paper on a toilet-roll. All these results are presented without errors. The authors of this comment believe the error analysis of measurements made in a…

Humenberger, Hans – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
The following article deals with the possibility of discovering several parameters of the picture when using Google Maps images, e.g. time and date of taking the image. This is possible with all pictures in which buildings, trees, poles ('objects') can be seen with their shadows. In some cases, one can find -- with a bit of luck -- an aircraft…

Mingari Scarpello, Giovanni; Ritelli, Daniele – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
When Johann Bernoulli published his lectures on integrals in 1742, integral calculus had become very advanced since the time of their composition in 1692. Nevertheless, these lectures are of excellent clarity and simplicity even when the book deals with major problems of Mathematical Physics. Just to pique some interest, we offer a commented…

Tisdell, Christopher C. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
Recently, Robin claimed to introduce clever innovations ('wrinkles') into the mathematics education literature concerning the solutions, and methods of solution, to differential equations. In particular, Robin formulated an iterative scheme in the form of a single integral representation. These ideas were applied to a range of examples involving…

Dana-Picard, Thierry; Zeitoun, David – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
We study a 1-parameter family of trigonometric definite integrals, showing how the joint usage of Information and Communication Technologies and paper-and-pencil work lead to different outputs, revealing different mathematical meanings and different concrete meanings. This family of integrals is useful for describing a phenomenon in soil…

Jator, S. N. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2010
A continuous representation of a hybrid method with three "off-step" points is developed via interpolation and collocation procedures, and used to obtain initial value methods (IVMs) for solving initial value problems. The IVMs are assembled into a single block matrix equation which is convergent and A-stable. We note that accuracy is improved by…

Soon, Wanmei; Ye, Heng-Qing – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2011
In this article, we examine the use of a new binary integer programming (BIP) model to detect arbitrage opportunities in currency exchanges. This model showcases an excellent application of mathematics to the real world. The concepts involved are easily accessible to undergraduate students with basic knowledge in Operations Research. Through this…

Kanwar, V.; Tomar, S. K. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
A new class of Euler's method for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations is presented in this article. The methods are iterative in nature and admit their geometric derivation from an exponentially fitted osculating straight line. They are single-step methods and do not require evaluation of any derivatives. The accuracy and…

Celik, D.; Ozdemir, Y.; Ureyen, M. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2007
Contractions play a considerable role in the theory of fractals. However, it is not easy to find contractions which are not similitudes. In this study, it is shown by counter examples that an affine transformation of the plane carrying a given triangle onto another triangle may not be a contraction even if it contracts edges, heights or medians.…

In many practical situations scaling the data is necessary to solve linear programs. This note explores the relationships in translating the sensitivity analysis between the original and the scaled problems.

Sangwin, Christopher J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2007
This paper concerns computer aided assessment (CAA) of mathematics in which a computer algebra system (CAS) is used to help assess students' responses to elementary algebra questions. Using a methodology of documentary analysis, we examine what is taught in elementary algebra. The STACK CAA system, http://www.stack.bham.ac.uk/, which uses the CAS…
