Gearhart, W. B.; Qian, Maijian – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2005
This note offers a derivation of the Euler-Maclaurin formula that is simple and elementary. In addition, the paper shows that the derivation provides Euler-Maclaurin formulas for a variety of functionals other than the trapezoid rule.

Hombas, Vassilios – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2004
The mean and variance of the number of turning points in random permutations of two kinds of distinct elements are evaluated. These results are applied to a Wald-Wolfowitz run test.

Zhu, Ling – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2005
In this note, an integrated form of some significant means with two variables is provided, and some chains for mean value inequalities are obtained. At the same time, a concise family of algebraic functions appears, which satisfy Mitrinovic's requirements.

Abramowitz, Milton, Ed.; Stegun, Irene A., Ed. – 1972
Numerical tables of mathematical functions are in continual demand by scientists and engineers for preliminary surveys of problems before programming for computing machines. This handbook was designed to provide scientific investigators with a comprehensive and self-contained summary of the mathematical functions that arise in physical and…

Guasti, M. Fernandez – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2005
Three major techniques are employed to calculate [pi]. Namely, (i) the perimeter of polygons inscribed or circumscribed in a circle, (ii) calculus based methods using integral representations of inverse trigonometric functions, and (iii) modular identities derived from the transformation theory of elliptic integrals. This note presents a…

Landman, Greisy Winicki – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2004
This article presents two classroom episodes in which students were exposed to the value of asking questions and to the different roles played by proof in mathematics. The conversation in the two episodes is outlined in the article. The setting was a classroom of fifteen good high-school students, who were studying calculus. These episodes…
