Matematikk i yrkesutdanningen : En kasusstudie av sammenhengen mellom matematikkfaget og programfagene på yrkesutdanningen elektrofag
(Master thesis, 2013)The teaching of mathematics in vocational education programs in Norway is required to make connections with each student's professional practice and daily life. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship ... -
Effect of a finite external heat transfer coefficient on the Darcy-Benard instability in a vertical porous cylinder
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The onset of thermal convection in a vertical porous cylinder is studied by considering the heating from below and the cooling from above as caused by external forced convection processes. These processes are parametrised ... -
„Die Gottesluft der freien Forschung“ – Jacobis Verhältnis zur französischen Mathematik aus politischer Sicht

An algorithm for discretization of real value attributes based on interval similarity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Discretization algorithm for real value attributes is of very important uses in many areas such as intelligence and machine learning. The algorithms related to Chi2 algorithm ( includes modified Chi2 algorithm and extended ... -
Critical alignment in inquiry-based practice in developing mathematics teaching
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)This paper reports a case study from a mathematics teaching developmental research project. The theoretical foundation for the research comprises communities of inquiry and critical alignment, with which the developmental ... -
Mathematical learning opportunities in kindergarten through the use of digital tools: Affordances and constraints
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)This study aims at scrutinising the mathematical learning opportunities of children engaging with digital tools and the emerging affordances and constraints faced in such settings. By adopting a sociocultural perspective ... -
Oscillation of second-order neutral differential equations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)We study oscillatory behavior of a class of second-order neutral differential equations relating oscillation of these equations to existence of positive solutions to associated first-order functional differential inequalities. ... -

Laboratory mathematics: learning equations with a double-winch as a tool
(Master thesis, 2014)Many studies show that algebra is perceived by pupils as an abstract, difficult to understand subject with almost no connections to every-day reality. Therefore, the motivation for this research was to find out what helps ... -
Learning mathematics through mathematical modelling : a study of secondary school students in Nigeria
(Master thesis, 2014)The focus of this study is to investigate the impact that mathematical modelling activities may have in the learning process of mathematics amongst observed Nigerian secondary school students. I also wish to find out in ... -

Schauder bases and locally complemented subspaces of Banach spaces
(Master thesis, 2014)The thesis is about Schauder basis in infinite-dimensional Banach spaces and locally complemented subspaces. It starts with the notion of bases and it proves that it is equivalent with that of Schauder basis. It follows ... -
Education students' use of collaborative writing tools in collectively reflective essay papers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Google Docs and EtherPad are Web 2.0 tools providing opportunity for multiple users to work online on the same document consecutively or simultaneously. Over the last few years a number of research papers on the use of ... -

Asymptotic behavior of higher-order quasilinear neutral differential equations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)We study asymptotic behavior of solutions to a class of higher-order quasilinear neutral differential equations under the assumptions that allow applications to even- and odd-order differential equations with delayed and ... -
Eberlein–Šmulian theorem and some of its applications
(Master thesis, 2014)The thesis is about Eberlein-Šmulian and some its applications. The goal is to investigate and explain different proofs of the Eberlein-Šmulian theorem. First we introduce the general theory of weak and weak* topology ... -
Oscillatory behavior of second-order nonlinear neutral differential equations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)We study oscillatory behavior of solutions to a class of second-order nonlinear neutral differential equations under the assumptions that allow applications to differential equations with delayed and advanced arguments. ... -
Rockefeller philanthropy and mathematical emigration between World Wars
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)This article discusses one aspect of Rockefeller support for mathematics: the emigration of mathematicians from Europe. For the broader policies of the Rockefeller philanthropies for internationalization of mathematics, ... -
