As a teacher of mathematics, I always taught the topic functions (graphs such as linear, quadratic, hyperbola, exponential, trigonometric functions) in the same way all of my twenty-three years in the profession. I often ...

This research aimed at measuring the extent to which a group of senior secondary pupils were attaining desirable cognitive objectives in mathematics. The summary of the design and procedures adopted in this study and the ...

The aim of this dissertation is to describe the conjugacy classes and some of the ordinary irreducible characters of the nite general linear group GL(n, q); together with character tables of some of its subgroups. We study ...

The pass rate of first-year university mathematics students at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (Pietermaritzburg Campus) has been low for many years. One cause may be weak algebra skills. At the time of this study, revision ...

The main purpose of the study was to show the necessity of a classroom-based educator in-service support programme. Educators have unique problems being derived from the uniqueness of their school situations. Thus, the ...

Interest in the attracting property of de Sitter space-time has grown during the 'inflationary era' of cosmology. In this dissertation we discuss the more important attempts to prove the so called 'cosmic no-hair conjecture' ...

At the university where the study was conducted matrix algebra is one of the first advanced mathematics courses that pre-service teachers encounter. The transfer of knowledge from a primarily procedural or algorithmic ...

We investigate the appropriate strategies that reduce the HIV transmission rate amongst the serodiscordant married couples. In particular, we formulate two discrete sub-models, the formation of married serodiscordant ...
