Lynch, Mark – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2004
Define the centre of a parallelogram to be the intersection of its diagonals. It was shown in an earlier paper that the intersection of arbitrarily many parallelograms with the same centre is the unit disc about that centre in a metric defined using ideas from Linear Algebra. In this note, it is shown that this characterizes compact, convex sets,…

Zhao, Feng-Zhen; Wang, Tianming – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2005
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 obtain their approximate values.

Knight, D. G. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2004
If the point of suspension of a multiple pendulum is suitably oscillated then the pendulum can remain in motion in an upside-down position. Since such pendulums can model flexible materials, this inverted motion is sometimes referred to as an 'Indian rope trick'. Despite the complexity of the governing differential equations, this rope trick can…

Zhu, Ling – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2005
In this note, an integrated form of some significant means with two variables is provided, and some chains for mean value inequalities are obtained. At the same time, a concise family of algebraic functions appears, which satisfy Mitrinovic's requirements.

Tong, Jingcheng – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2004
A semigroup G is a group if it has a left identity and every element has a left inverse. The purpose of this note is to weaken this condition further in two different ways. A semigroup G with an identity e is a group if every element x in G has an inverse. It is well known that this statement can be weakened. A semigroup G with a left identity e…

Sani, B. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2004
In this article, an alternative multiplication method for rhotrices is proposed. The method establishes some relationships between rhotrices and matrices. This article has discussed a modified multiplication method for rhotrices. The method has a direct relationship with matrix multiplication, and so rhotrices under this multiplication procedure…
