Powers, Robert A.; Craviotto, Cathleen; Grassl, Richard M. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2010
Many undergraduate students have difficulty writing mathematical proofs even though this skill is important for the development of future teachers and those who may be involved in instruction or training as a graduate student or supervisor. In addition, research indicates that mathematics majors and secondary education mathematics majors possess…

Vivo, Juana-Maria; Franco, Manuel – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
This article attempts to present a novel application of a method of measuring accuracy for academic success predictors that could be used as a standard. This procedure is known as the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, which comes from statistical decision techniques. The statistical prediction techniques provide predictor models and…

Yueh, Wen-Chyuan; Cheng, Sui Sun – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2002
The discrete dynamical system of absolute differences defined by the map [psi]( x[subscript 1] , x[subscript 2] , x[subscript 3] , x[subscript 4] ) = ([vertical line] x[subscript 2] - x[subscript 1] [vertical line], [vertical line] x[subscript 3] - x[subscript 2] [vertical line], [vertical line] x[subscript 4] - x[subscript 3] [vertical line],…
