Porkess, Roger; Mason, Stephen – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2012
This article, written jointly by a mathematician and a barrister, looks at some of the statistical issues raised by court cases based on fraud involving chip and PIN cards. It provides examples and insights that statistics teachers should find helpful. (Contains 4 tables and 1 figure.)

Weber, Keith; Mejia-Ramos, Juan Pablo – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 2009
In a recent paper, Alcock and Inglis (in press) noted a distinction between the way that Weber (in press) and they defined syntactic and semantic proof productions. Weber argued that "a syntactic proof production occurs when one works predominantly within the representation system of proof [...] Alternatively, a semantic proof production occurs…

Alcock, Lara; Inglis, Matthew – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 2009
Weber (2009) suggested that counterexamples can be generated by a syntactic proof production, apparently contradicting our earlier assertion (Alcock & Inglis, 2008). Here we point out that this ostensible difference is the result of Weber working with theoretical definitions that differ slightly from ours. We defend our approach by arguing that…

Broca, D. S. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2004
The traditional approach to expressing cumulants in terms of moments is by expansion of the cumulant generating function which is represented as an embedded power series of the moments. The moments are then obtained in terms of cumulants through successive reverse substitutions. In this note we demonstrate how cumulant-moment relations are…

Dudar, Abdur-Rahim Dib – 2002
This paper suggests that logic consists of a collection of propositions and operations of negation, conjunction, disjunction, implication, and equivalence. It points out that the operations on dispositions depend upon the truth-value of the propositions involved. This raises the questions, How do we know whether a proposition is true or false? and…

Merz, Thomas E. – Journal of Economic Education, 1996
Uses the various strategies involved in baseball to illustrate basic concepts in game theory. Specifically discusses Willie Mays' base-stealing strategy and how it relates to probability and risk. Reminds students that expected results depend on adopted assumptions. (MJP)

Ali, Rosihan M.; Kor, Liew Kee – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2007
This paper presents the preliminary results of a study conducted to investigate the differences in brain hemisphericity and learning styles on students' confidence in using the graphics calculator (GC) to learn mathematics. Data were collected from a sample of 44 undergraduate mathematics students in Malaysia using Brain-Dominance Questionnaire,…

International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2012
The IADIS CELDA 2012 Conference intention was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There had been advances in both cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a…
