Abstract:
Improving mathematical abilities is important for educational systems and for society overall. We present two training regimes based on numerical representations. In Study 1, we show that a three-week computer-based quantity discrimination training, focused on enhancing the accuracy of the Approximate Number System (ANS), improved mathematics performance in low-performing 7-to-8-year-old children. In Study 2, we show that a novel numerical estimation training enhancing mappings between Arabic digits and quantities, improved overall mathematical competence in all children, going beyond the

Abstract:
This thesis presents a series of algorithmic innovations in Combinatorial Compressed Sensing and Persistent Homology. The unifying strategy across these contributions is in translating structural patterns in the underlying data into specific algorithmic designs in order to achieve: better guarantees in computational complexity, the ability to operate on more complex data, highly efficient parallelisations, or any combination of these.

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the numerical issues resulting from the implementation of geometric algorithms on finite precision digital computers. From an examination of the general problem and a survey of previous research, it appears that the central problem of numerical computational geometry is how to deal with degenerate and nearly degenerate input. For some applications, such as solid modeling, degeneracy is often intended but we cannot always ascertain its existence using finite precision. For other applications, degenerate input is unwanted but nearly degenerate input is unavoidable.

Abstract:
As a general rule, it is not possible to express the integral, ∫abf(x)dx, of a real valued function f of a single real variable x, in terms of relatively elementary functions. Even when this can be done, numerical calculations based on such expressions may be lengthy and tedious. For these reasons, mathematicians have devised several numerical quadrature schemes to provide approximate values for the integral (1). The error in any such scheme is defined as the difference between the integral and the numerical quadrature scheme. In this paper, we studied the errors in four specific numerical qua

Using data collected at a field site on one of the ice cap’s outlet glaciers in the summer of 2000, an energy balance model was optimised in order to obtain the best fit between the predicted and observed ablation.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to derive and solve mathematical models for the flow of liquid in a foam. A primary concern is to investigate how so-called `Marangoni stresses' (i.e. surface tension gradients), generated for example by the presence of a surfactant, act to stabilise a foam. We aim to provide the key microscopic components for future foam modelling. We begin by describing in detail the influence of surface tension gradients on a general liquid flow, and various physical mechanisms which can give rise to such gradients. We apply the models thus devised to an experimental configuration

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the mathematics and modelling of the industrial crimper, perhaps one of the least well understood processes that occurs in the manufacture of artificial fibre.

This we investigate by presuming the fibre to behave as an ideal elastica confined in a two dimensional channel. We consider how the arrangement of the fibre changes as more fibre is introduced, and the forces that are required to confine it. Later, we apply the same methods to a fibre co

This thesis describes the parallel implementation of a three-dimensional numerical ice flow model of the whole of the grounded part of the Antarctic Ice Sheet at a grid resolution of 20km. Numerical modelling of ice flow is computationally intensive as it requires the solution of non-linear equations over long time scales. A parallel model was developed to overcome these restrictions, and it is demonstrated that the model runs more quickly on multiple processors than on a single processor (70% efficiency on four processors). The model was successfully validated against published benchmarks and

This thesis investigates numerical techniques for modelling sharp interfaces between relativistic fluids. The motivation for this work lies in obtaining accurate models of neutron star interiors for use in multidimensional simulations in general relativity. The interior structure of a neutron star is believed to contain several regions, often separated by sharp transition layers. These layers are too thin to be explicitly incorporated in a numerical simulation of the entire star. We investigate how techniques can be developed to model these layers as sharp interfaces, across which the matter m

Abstract:
A numerical method for the treatment of non-vanishing lag state dependent delay differential equations is developed in this work. This method is based on a (5,6) Runge-Kutta formula pair. The delayed term is approximated by a three-point Hermite polynomial. In order to obtain a highly accurate numerical scheme, special attention is given to the characterization and the localization of the derivative jump discontinuities of the solution. Some real-life problems are used to test the new method and compare it with existing ones.

District heating is today, in Sweden, the most common method used for heating buildings in cities. More than half of all the buildings, both commercial and residential, are heated using district heating. The load on the district heating networks are affected by, among other things, the time of the day and different external conditions, such as temperature differences. One has to be able to simulate the heat and pressure losses in the network in order to deliver the amount of heat demanded by the customers. Expansions of district heating networks and disrupted pipes also demand good simulations
