Research on teaching high school mathematics shows that the topic of percentages often causes learning difficulties. This article describes a method of teaching percentages that the authors used in university bridging courses. In this method, the information from a word problem about percentages is presented in a two-way table. Such a table gives…

In this article, the author presents a six by six array in which individuals can obtain 182 in total even if they use a different set of numbers. The author then explain why this is possible. The author uses the k-translation of a sequence for this equation. (Contains 8 figures, 2 tables and 6 footnotes.)

In this note, using the method of undetermined coefficients, we obtain the power series for exp ( f ( x )) and ln ( f ( x )) by means of a simple recursion. As applications, we show how those power series can be used to reproduce and improve some well-known results in analysis. These results may be used as enrichment material in an advanced…
