Exploring pre-service teachers' mental constructions of matrix algebra concepts : a South African case study.
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 ...
Using mathematical and economic epidemiology tools for modelling HIV infection in serodiscordant couples.
(2015)
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 ...
Exploring the use of the ibox when teaching mathematics in selected KwaZulu-Natal secondary schools.
(2016)
Globally the use of technology is changing the face of the classroom. However, in South Africa, with the large numbers of schools with poor infrastructure, the technology that can be used in most schools is limited. In a ...
Exploring teachers’ scaffolding practices in the teaching of primary school mathematics at a school in Swaziland.
(2016)
The purpose of this study was to explore participants’ scaffolding practices in the teaching of primary mathematics at a school in Swaziland. Scaffolding refers to all the assistance a more knowledgeable other provides to ...
Knowledge-directed intelligent information retrieval for research funding.
(2001)
Researchers have always found difficulty in attaining funding from the National Research Foundation (NRF) for new research interests. The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds the promise of improving the matching ...
The application of artifacts in the teaching and learning of grade 9 geometry.
(2005)
The main focus of the study was to explore how the experiences that the learners went through in the Technology class during the construction and design of artifacts, could be used to inform the teaching of Geometry in the ...
The effects of using visual literacy and visualization in the teaching and learning of mathematics problem solving on grade 6 and grade 7.
(2009)
In this study I examine the effects of visualization in the teaching of problem solving in
grades 6 and 7 in a school south of Durban in KwaZulu Natal. One of the goals of
mathematics instruction according to the Department ...
Long time behaviour of population models.
(2010)
Non-negative matrices arise naturally in population models. In this thesis, we look at the theory
of such matrices and we study the Perron-Frobenius type theorems regarding their spectral
properties. We use these theorems ...
Global embeddings of pseudo-Riemannian spaces.
(2007)
Motivated by various higher dimensional theories in high-energy-physics and cosmology, we consider the local and global isometric embeddings of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds into manifolds of higher dimensions. We provide ...
Connectedness and the hyperspace of metric spaces.
(2015)
One of the prime motivations for studying hyperspaces of a metric space is to understand the
original space itself. The hyperspace of a metric space X is the space 2X of all non-empty
closed bounded subsets of it, endowed ...
