Cheng, Kell; Leung, Allen – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2015
This paper reports findings of an explorative study that examine the effectiveness of a GeoGebra-based dynamic applet in supporting students' construction of the formal definition of the limit of a sequence or convergence. More specifically, it is about how the use of the applet enables students to make connections between the graphical…

Albrecht, Klaus – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1974
A graphical method is proposed which allows one to visualize a real matrix and its inverse. In this scheme, various special properties of the matrix are easily recognized. Up to 5x5 matrices can be graphed on an average page if the range of values does not exceed two orders of magnitude. (Author/LS)

Ubuz, Behiye – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2007
This present study investigated engineering students' conceptions and misconceptions related to derivative, particularly interpreting the graph of a function and constructing its derivative graph. Participants were 147 first year engineering students from four universities enrolled in first year undergraduate calculus courses with or without the…

Braselton, James; Abell, Martha; Braselton, Lorraine – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2002
The Mobius strip, torus, and Klein bottle are used to graphically and analytically illustrate the differences between orientable and non-orientable surfaces. An exercise/laboratory project using the non-orientable Boy surface is included. (Contains 11 figures.)
