Intermediate students at-risk in mathematics : case studies of teachers and students
(2009)Although there have been changes made to Ontario's mathematics curriculum within the last decade to ensure student success, a significant number of students in Ontario schools have been achieving at or below a level 1 and ... -
Mathematically-based stories in junior classes : do stories change attitudes toward mathematics?
(2014-01-22)This study explored evidence of a change in students' attitude towards mathematics in junior classes through the use of a mathematically-based stories unit. Using a questionnaire, observations, interviews, and classroom ... -
Pinning of magnetic vortices subject to multi-well potential in the Ginzburg-Landau theory of superconductivity
(2012-11-10)I will study the existence of multi-vortex solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations with an external potential on R2. These equations model the equilibrium states of superconductors: the external potential, W, represents ... -
A Subspace of l2(X) without the approximation property
(2012-11-10)The aim of the thesis is to provide support to the following conjecture, which would provide an isomorphic characterization of a Hilbert space in terms of the approximation property: an infinite dimensional Banach space X ...
