Rupnow, Rachel; Randazzo, Brooke – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
Definitions play an important role in mathematics by stipulating objects of interest to mathematicians in order to facilitate theory building. Nevertheless, limited research has examined how mathematicians approach writing definitions or the values of the mathematical community that are upheld through norms related to definition use and writing.…

Rachel Rupnow – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
It is generally accepted that teachers' beliefs impact their instructional choices, but characterizations of that relationship are limited in college settings. Furthermore, examinations of instructor beliefs, instruction, and student beliefs together in one setting are rarely described. Based on interviews with two Abstract Algebra instructors,…

Alexey L. Voskov – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
QR decomposition is widely used for solving the least squares problem. However, existing materials about it may be too abstract for non-mathematicians, especially STEM students, and/or require serious background in linear algebra. The paper describes theoretical background and examples of GNU Octave compatible MATLAB scripts that give relatively…

Helena Johansson; Magnus Österholm – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
It is agreed that algebra has an important role in physics, particularly through handling symbols. A lot of previous research has focused on how mathematics is used in physics from perspectives where mathematics is taken for granted, and not addressing potential differences of mathematics in the physics classroom and in the mathematics classroom.…

Rupnow, Rachel; Sassman, Peter – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
Isomorphism and homomorphism are topics central to abstract algebra, but research on mathematicians' views of these topics, especially with respect to sameness, remains limited. This study examines open response survey data from 197 mathematicians on how sameness could be helpful or harmful when studying isomorphism and homomorphism. Using…

Vesife Hatisaru; Steven Richardson; Jon R. Star – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
A teacher of mathematics knows mathematics as a teacher and as a mathematician. Whilst the existing research on teacher knowledge contributes to our understanding of the ways of knowing mathematics as a teacher, little is known about ways of knowing mathematics as a mathematician. Guided by the conceptual framework of mathematical practices (MPs)…

Rupnow, Rachel; Sassman, Peter – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
Isomorphism and homomorphism are topics central to abstract algebra, but research on mathematicians' views of these topics, especially with respect to sameness, remains limited. This study examines 197 mathematicians' views of how sameness could be helpful or harmful when studying isomorphism and homomorphism. Instructors saw benefits to…

Naiman, Aharon – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2022
We explore the various Mathematica functions for performing Gaussian elimination, specifically when the linear system contains input parameters. On the one hand, we want the solution, perhaps heuristically found, to be in terms of the input parameters, and as general as possible. On the other hand, we must adhere to all necessary conditions and…

Catherine Barbara Acitelli – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The field of Cryptography is rapidly evolving, and the development of quantum computers is on the rise. Lattice-based cryptosystems are promising candidates for quantum resistance, and it is the responsibility of institutions to prepare students for related careers. Undergraduate students in mathematics and mathematics-adjacent fields can -- and…

Glen, Leslie; Zazkis, Rina – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
This study focuses on connections between linear functions and their graphs that were made by tertiary remedial algebra students. In particular, we describe students' work on a Task designed to examine the connection between points on a graph and the equation of a line. The data consist of 63 responses to a written questionnaire and individual…

Celita Marie Lewis-Davis – ProQuest LLC, 2022
For students to be successful in future mathematics classes, mathematics teachers must be able to help students decipher content in Algebra I, the foundation of higher mathematics. Research on vocabulary in the math classroom shows there are multiple ways to represent vocabulary and reading comprehension. The research question, which focused on…

Taweetham Limpanuparb; Junming Ho – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Approximate mathematical treatments are commonly taught in undergraduate chemistry, but the validity ranges of these approximations have rarely been properly defined. We present error contour plots of commonly used quadratic approximations for calculating equilibrium proton concentrations of monoprotic acids. Students and instructors can easily…
