Rajib Mukherjee – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
I provide a visual proof for the "Convergence of a Hyper power sequence," which generalises a beautiful result; also proved visually by Azarpanah in 2004.

Azevedo, Douglas; Valentino, Michele C. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
In this note, we propose a generalization of the famous Bernoulli differential equation by introducing a class of nonlinear first-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). We provide a family of solutions for this introduced class of ODEs and also we present some examples in order to illustrate the applications of our result.

de Villiers, Michael – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
This paper discusses an interesting, classic problem that provides a nice classroom investigation for dynamic geometry, and which can easily be explained (proved) with transformation geometry. The deductive explanation (proof) provides insight into why it is true, leading to an immediate generalization, thus illustrating the discovery function of…

Laudano, F. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
We propose a generalization of the classical Remainder Theorem for polynomials over commutative coefficient rings that allows calculating the remainder without using the long division method. As a consequence we obtain an extension of the classical Factor Theorem that provides a general divisibility criterion for polynomials. The arguments can be…

Abd-Elhameed, W. M.; Zeyada, N. A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
This paper is concerned with developing a new class of generalized numbers. The main advantage of this class is that it generalizes the two classes of generalized Fibonacci numbers and generalized Pell numbers. Some new identities involving these generalized numbers are obtained. In addition, the two well-known identities of Sury and Marques which…

Anatriello, Giuseppina; Vincenzi, Giovanni – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
A well-known result of Feinberg and Shannon states that the tribonacci sequence can be detected by the so-called "Pascal's pyramid." Here we will show that any tribonacci-like sequence can be obtained by the diagonals of the "Feinberg's triangle" associated to a suitable "generalized Pascal's pyramid."…

Mueller, Nancy; Tikoo, Mohan; Wang, Haohao – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2012
In this note, we offer a proof of a variant of Morley's triangle theorem, when the exterior angles of a triangle are trisected. We also offer a generalization of Morley's theorem when angles of an "n"-gon are "n"-sected. (Contains 9 figures.)

McCartney, Mark – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2013
A well-known mathematical puzzle regarding a worm crawling along an elastic rope is considered. The resulting generalizations provide examples for use in a teaching context including applications of series summation, the use of the integrating factor for the solution of differential equations, and the evaluation of definite integrals. A number of…

Shannon, A. G.; Leyendekkers, J. V. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2012
This article re-considers some interrelations among Pythagorean triads and various Fibonacci identities and their generalizations, with some accompanying questions to provoke further development by interested readers or their students. (Contains 3 tables.)

Mortici, Cristinel – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2011
The aim of this article is to discuss some results about the converse mean value theorem stated by Tong and Braza [J. Tong and P. Braza, "A converse of the mean value theorem", Amer. Math. Monthly 104(10), (1997), pp. 939-942] and Almeida [R. Almeida, "An elementary proof of a converse mean-value theorem", Internat. J. Math. Ed. Sci. Tech. 39(8)…

Kroopnick, Allan J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2010
This article discusses the conditions under which all solutions to x[double prime] + q(t)b(x) = f(t) are bounded on [0, [infinite]]. These results are generalizations of the linear case. A short discussion of the properties of bounded oscillatory solutions for both the linear and nonlinear cases when f(t) = 0, xb(x) greater than 0 and b[prime](x)…

Ollerton, R. L. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
Given a sequence g[subscript k] greater than 0, the "g-factorial" product [big product][superscript k] [subscript i=1] g[subscript i] is extended from integer k to real x by generalizing properties of the gamma function [Gamma](x). The Euler-Mascheroni constant [gamma] and the beta and zeta functions are also generalized. Specific examples include…

Gierdien, Faaiz – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2009
This note presents demonstrations of mathematics that emerges when problems are posed with respect to a combined 12 x 12 multiplication table showing multiplier and multiplicand. Through processes such as recognizing and extending patterns, specializing and generalizing particular functional relationships between the diagonal and row sequences are…

Bruckman, Paul S. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
In this article, the author begins with the prime number theorem (PNT), and then develops this into a more general theorem, of which many well-known number theoretic results are special cases, including PNT. He arrives at an asymptotic relation that allows the replacement of certain discrete sums involving primes into corresponding differentiable…
