Rodney Nillsen – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2024
Equal representation as a social issue is about the participation of one social group, in a particular context, in proportion to the numbers in the group within the total population. The proportion of women in parliament, and of the participation rate of students of lower socioeconomic status in higher education, are examples. The aims of this…

Griffiths, Martin; MacHale, Des – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
We study here an aspect of an infinite set "P" of multivariate polynomials, the elements of which are associated with the arithmetic-geometric-mean inequality. In particular, we show in this article that there exist infinite subsets of probability "P" for which every element may be expressed as a finite sum of squares of real…

Martínez-Zarzuelo, Angélica; Roanes-Lozano, Eugenio; Fernández-Díaz, María José – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2017
The educational laws establish an organization and a grouping of the contents of the educational system they rule. As far as we know, the set of experts who design it neither follow precise objective criteria nor use computer tools. That is why they are not usually rotund. We consider that defining precise objective criteria is the key to develop…
