Developing a Basic Mathematics Questionnaire for Grades 4 to 7
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Journal of Psychology in Africa • Authors: Marthie S. van der Walt --- North-West University, South Africa Jacobus G. Maree --- North-West University, South Africa Suria M. Ellis --- North-West University, South AfricaIn this article, the authors report on the development of a basic mathematics questionnaire for Grades 4 to 7 (the BM(P)). The provisional instrument was completed by 1,103 Afrikaans-, English-and Tswana-speaking learners in Grades 4 to 7 in the North-West... -
Teachers' Gender Stereotypes in South Africa: A Case Study
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Journal of Psychology in Africa • Authors: Tuntufye S. Mwamwenda --- Africa Institute of South Africa,The study investigated Teachers' gender stereotypes in the Eastern Province of South Africa. Participants were 65 Junior Secondary school teachers (females= 40 and males = 25) who assembled together at a seminar organized by the Department of Education. They completed... -
The Relationship Between Emotional Intelligence, Study Orientation in Mathematics and the Mathematics Achievement of the Middle Adolescent
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Journal of Psychology in Africa • Authors: Jacobus G. Maree --- University of Pretoria, Lizelle Fletcher --- University of Pretoria, Petro Erasmus --- North West University,This article describes the extent to which emotional intelligence and study orientation predict the mathematics achievement of middle adolescents. Altogether 435 learners in Grades 9 and 11 from three high schools in the Mafikeng region completed the Bar-On EQ-i: YV™... -
Why is there Philosophy of Mathematics AT ALL?
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Philosophy • Authors: Ian Hacking --- Collège de France and University of Toronto,Mathematics plays an inordinate role in the work of many of famous Western philosophers, from the time of Plato, through Husserl and Wittgenstein, and even to the present. Why? This paper points to the experience of learning or making mathematics,... -
An investigation of the impact of the 1 + 4 Mathematics Teaching Intervention Programme on the attitude of Grade eight and nine Mathematics teachers after two years of attendance
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Science, Technology, Innovation and Development • Authors: Yeyisani Makhubele --- Computer and Mathematical Sciences, University of Mpumalanga, South AfricaThe purpose of the study was to explore Grade eight and nine teachers’ attitudes towards teaching Mathematics after they had spent two years attending the 1 + 4 Mathematics Teaching Intervention Programme. The sample for the study consisted of 82 teachers who... -
Some new results on functions in C(X) having their support on ideals of closed sets
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Quaestiones Mathematicae • Authors: Sudip Kumar Acharyya --- Department of Pure Mathematics, India Sagarmoy Bag --- Department of Pure Mathematics, India Goutam Bhunia --- Department of Pure Mathematics, India Pritam Rooj --- NIIT University, IndiaFor any ideal of closed sets in X, let be the family of those functions in C(X) whose support lie on . Further let contain precisely those functions f in C(X) for which for each ϵ > 0, {x ∈... -
Mixed Nash equilibria for continuous games and reverse mathematics
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Quaestiones Mathematicae • Authors: NingNing Peng --- Wuhan University of Technology, China Weiguang Peng --- Southwest University, China Takeshi Yamazaki --- Tohoku University, JapanThe program reverse mathematics seeks to identify the minimal axioms needed to prove theorems of ordinary mathematics. In this paper, we develop the reverse mathematics of measure theory and apply these results to the reverse mathematics study of game theory... -
On 2-nilpotent multiplier of Lie superalgebras
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Quaestiones Mathematicae • Authors: Rudra Narayan Padhan --- Government Autonomous College Rourkela, India Kishor Chandra Pati --- National Institute of Technology, IndiaIn this article, we define the c-nilpotent multiplier of a finite dimensional Lie superalgebra. We characterize the structure of 2-nilpotent multiplier of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie superalgebras whose derived subalgebras have dimension at most one. Then we give an upper... -
Global solutions for the time-space fractional rotating magnetohydrodynamic equations in Besov spaces
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Quaestiones Mathematicae • Authors: Jinyi Sun --- College of Mathematics and Statistics, P.R. China Yuanwei Mai --- College of Mathematics and Statistics, P.R. China Yatao Li --- Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics, P.R. ChinaThis paper is devoted to the time-space fractional rotating magnetohydrodynamic equations in Besov spaces. By exploiting the interweaving action of the smoothing effects of the fractional Laplacian dissipation and dispersive effects of the Coriolis force involving with the time-fractional evolution... -
On the {2}-domination number of rooted product graphs
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: Quaestiones Mathematicae • Authors: A. Cabrera-Martínez --- Universidad de Córdoba, Spain A. Conchado Peiró --- Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain J.M. Rueda-Vázquez --- Universidad de Córdoba, SpainLet G be a nontrivial graph with vertex set V (G). A function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2} is called a {2}-dominating function on G if ∑ u ∈NG [v] f(u) ≥ 2 for every v... -
Some scattering and spectral properties of eigenparameter dependent quantum difference equations with matrix value impulsive conditions
