Abstract:

Despite the fact that problem posing has been recommended as a useful mathematical activity in the curriculum documents of several countries, research about the types of problem-posing situations in which students could be involved, and about the effects of these problem-posing activities on students' mathematical performance is limited. The application of problem posing in school mathematics has been hindered by the absence of a framework which links problem posing, problem solving and mathematics curricula

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned principally with tangential geometry and the applications of these concepts to tangentially symplectic foliations. The subject of tangential geometry is still at an elementary stage. The author here systematises current concepts and results and extends them, leading to the definition of vertical connections and vertical G-structures. Tangentially symplectic foliations are then characterised in terms of vertical symplectic forms. Some significant particular cases are discussed.

Nevertheless, the potential of this kind of knowledge (understood by Aristotle to be both practical and moral in its orientation) to contribute valuable insights to educational debates has still to be realised.

Abstract:

常方差彈性(CEV) 模型能夠刻畫波動率微笑的優點使之成為期權定價中的實用工具，然而它在應用到美式衍生工具時面臨分析上及計算上的挑戰。現行的解析方法是對代表著期權價格函數和其最佳履約曲線的自由邊界問題進行拉普拉斯卡森變換(LCT) ，繼而獲得在此變換下的解析解，可是此解含有合流超線幾何函數，使得它的數值計算在某些參數下顯得不穩定及低效。本文運用漸近法徹底解決美式期權在常方差彈性模型下的定價問題，並用永久性和限時性的美式看跌期權作為例子闡述所提出的方法。<br>The constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model is a practical approach to option pricing by fitting to the implied volatility skew. Its application to American-style derivatives, however, poses analytical and numerical challenges.

Abstract:

M.Ed.<br>This study investigates junior primary teachers' conception of problem-centred Mathematics teaching with the view to describe and also explain their conception. The rationale for the investigation is derived from the move being made in South African Mathematics teaching from traditional teaching to constructivist and problem-centred teaching. Teachers have had to change from being authoritative and focused on the product to become facilitators of the learning process. This move implies that teachers have to put aside most of what they have been doing up till now to be able to adopt co

Abstract:

This study used Polya’s problem-solving model to map the level of development of the algebraic problem solving skills of Grade 12 learners from the Oshana Region in Northern Namibia. Deficiencies in problem solving skills among students in Namibian tertiary institutions have highlighted a possible knowledge gap between the Grade 12 and tertiary mathematics curricula (Fatokun, Hugo & Ajibola, 2009; Miranda, 2010). It is against this background that this study investigated the problem solving skills of Grade 12 learners in an attempt to understand the difficulties encountered by the Grade 12 lea

Abstract:

This research is concerned with the nature and extent of problems experienced by detectives in the collection, processing and utilisation of crime information for the investigation of crime. The problems gave rise to poor detective performance. The development of information-led policing offers an alternative to the traditional ”reactive” model of investigation of crime. Information-led policing advocates the targeting, gathering, analysis and dissemination of information which is used to inform decisions about the prioritisation of problems and allocation of resources to address the probl

Abstract:

Regular exercise is challenging and lapses in activity may lead to non-adherence. Adherence may be particularly challenging for symptomatic individuals with disease-related symptoms that may impede exercise. The combined use of cognitive-behavioural strategies including problem-solving has been strongly encouraged for promoting exercise adherence. However, evidence supporting the link between the use of the independent strategy of problem-solving and exercise adherence is limited. The overall purpose of this dissertation was to examine problem-solving relative to exercise-lapse related pro
