A three-dimensional study of the onset of convection in a horizontal, rectangular porous channel heated from below
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The onset of convection is studied in a rectangular channel filled with a fluid saturated porous medium, bounded above and below by impermeable isothermal walls at unequal temperatures and laterally by partially conducting ... -
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 ... -
„Die Gottesluft der freien Forschung“ – Jacobis Verhältnis zur französischen Mathematik aus politischer Sicht
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013) -
Educating to inspire active learning approaches in mathematics in Norwegian universities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This is a report of an analysis of some of the data generated by a national survey of teaching approaches used in higher education mathematics courses. The overall purpose of the survey was to explore how widespread is ... -
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 ... -
Emigration of mathematicians from outside German-speaking academia 1933-1963, supported by the Society for the Protection of Science and Learning
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Racial and political persecution of German-speaking scholars from 1933 onward has already been extensively studied. The archives of the Society for the Protection of Science and Learning (SPSL), which are deposited in the ... -
Euclid’s proof of the infinitude of primes: distorted, clarified, made obsolete, and confirmed in modern mathematics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014) -
First-year engineering students’ use of their mathematics textbook - opportunities and constraints
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The role of the mathematics textbook at tertiary level has received limited exposure in previous research although it is likely that students work individually and that some of this work depends on the use of the textbook. ... -
Für die Ehre des menschlichen Geistes – Ein neuer Blick auf eine bekannte Kontroverse zwischen Fourier und Jacobi über die Rolle der Anwendungen der Mathematik
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013) -
Hans Wussing (1927-2011) and the blooming of the history of mathematics and sciences in the German Democratic Republic - A biographical essay
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012) -
Kindergarten teachers’ accounts of their developing mathematical practice
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)This study explores kindergarten teachers’ accounts of their developing mathematical practice in the context of their participation in a developmental research project. Observations and interviews were analysed to elaborate ... -
Mapping properties for the Bargmann transform on modulation spaces
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)We investigate mapping properties for the Bargmann transform and prove that this transform is isometric and bijective from modulation spaces to convenient Banach spaces of analytic functions. We also present some consequences. ... -
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 ... -
Mathematics teaching development: Learning from developmental research in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)This paper is a product of mathematics teaching developmental research projects based on establishing communities of inquiry comprising schoolteachers working at all grades and university-based teacher educator/researchers ... -
Mediated action in teachers’ discussions about mathematics tasks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)This paper presents analyses of teachers’ discussions within mathematics teaching developmental research projects, taking mediation as the central construct. The relations in the so-called ‘didactic triangle’ form the basic ... -
On stability of linear dynamic systems with hysteresis feedback
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Abstract. The stability of linear dynamic systems with hysteresis in feedback is considered. While the absolute stability for memoryless nonlinearities (known as Lure’s problem) can be proved by the well-known circle ... -
Professional mathematics teacher identity: analysis of reflective narratives from discourses and activities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)This article focuses on the methodological use of reflective narratives from discourses and activities of an experienced primary teacher as evidence of her professional identity. The teacher’s reflective narratives emerge ... -
Reasoning with paper and pencil: The role of inscriptions in student learning of geometric series
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)The purpose of this article is to analyse how students use inscriptions as tools for thinking and learning in mathematical problem-solving activities. The empirical context is that of learning about geometric series in a ... -
Revisiting the didactic triangle: from the particular to the general
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The basic notion of a didactic triangle is explained with historical annotations on its origins and subsequent theorization in the literature. Instances of its application to classroom environments to demonstrate its ... -
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, ...
