Abstract:

Math & Science Education<br>Ph.D.<br>College Algebra is a gatekeeper course that serves as an obstacle for many students pursuing STEM careers. Lack of success in this course could be a key reason why the United States lags behind other industrialized countries in the number of students graduating with STEM majors and joining the STEM workforce. Of the many topics presented in College Algebra that pose problems, students often have particular difficulty with the application of systems of equations in the form of word problems. The present study aims to identify the factors associated with succ

Abstract:

This thesis is a survey of certain algorithmic problems in group theory and their computational complexities. In particular, it consists of a detailed review of the decidability and complexity of the word and conjugacy problems in several classes of solvable groups, followed by two original results. The first result states that the Conjugacy Problem in wreath products which satisfy certain elementary conditions is decidable in polynomial time. It is largely based on work by Jane Matthews, published in 1969. The second result, based on ideas of Remeslennikov and Sokolov (1970)
