  1. A Case Study of the Transfer of Mathematics Skills by University Students

    S Britton, P B. New, M D. Sharma & D Yardley

    This paper describes the development of a procedure for investigating the ability of university students to employ their mathematical skills in a range of scientific contexts. This ability is... More

  2. On the Altitudes of Quadrilaterals

    Biagio Micale & Mario Pennisi

    In this article quadrilaterals with concurrent maltitudes are characterized. A generalization of the maltitudes is given, and a larger family of quadrilaterals for which an analogous property of... More

  3. An EOQ Model with Two-Parameter Weibull Distribution Deterioration and Price-Dependent Demand

    Sushanta Mukhopadhyay, R N. Mukherjee & K S. Chaudhuri

    An inventory replenishment policy is developed for a deteriorating item and price-dependent demand. The rate of deterioration is taken to be time-proportional and the time to deterioration is... More

  4. The Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality and the Induced Metrics on Real Vector Spaces Mainly on the Real Line

    W Ramasinghe

    It is very well known that the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality is an important property shared by all inner product spaces and the inner product induces a norm on the space. A proof of the Cauchy-Schwarz... More

  5. The Values of a Class of Series Involving Generalized Fibonacci and Lucas Numbers

    Feng-Zhen Zhao & Tianming Wang

    In this paper, using the Lambert series and other known results, the authors consider the computation of a class of series involving the powers of generalized Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, and... More

  7. Deterministic and Stochastic Analysis of a Prey-Dependent Predator-Prey System

    Alakes Maiti & G P. Samanta

    This paper reports on studies of the deterministic and stochastic behaviours of a predator-prey system with prey-dependent response function. The first part of the paper deals with the... More

  8. Blending Two Major Techniques in Order to Compute [Pi]

    M Fernandez Guasti

    Three major techniques are employed to calculate [pi]. Namely, (i) the perimeter of polygons inscribed or circumscribed in a circle, (ii) calculus based methods using integral representations of... More

  9. Some Exploration of the Game Set[r]

    Dane W. Wu & Nicole K. Uken

    Since the game SET[R] was first introduced to the public in 1993, it has stimulated some interesting studies. While the game itself is rather straightforward, a plethora of decent mathematical... More

  11. Solving the Inverse-Square Problem with Complex Variables

    N Gauthier

    The equation of motion for a mass that moves under the influence of a central, inverse-square force is formulated and solved as a problem in complex variables. To find the solution, the constancy... More
