Effective Practices in Grade 9 Applied Mathematics
… consistently do not attain proficiency in mathematics. Students that take the applied mathematics course—on the pathway to college—are more likely to not reach the provincial standard on the provincial Grade 9 mathematics assessment than they are to reach it. This can have long-lasting …

Applied mathematics through an embodied storytelling lens
In this research, I investigated how an applied mathematics professor and her students organized and presented information that aligns with elements found in traditional storytelling. The participants of this study were involved in an applied mathematics laboratory that researched applications of …

Conditional inequalities : American pure and applied mathematics, 1940-1975
… of this transformation for the development of mathematics as an academic discipline and how it affected what it meant to be a mathematician. How did mathematicians understand the relation between abstractions and generalizations on the one hand and their manifestation in concrete problems on …

Towards a Mapping Account of Applicability: An Exposition, Explanation, and Justification of the Representational Conception of Applied Mathematics
This thesis defends the view that the role of applied mathematics is a representational one, and develops a mapping account of the applicability of mathematics that does justice to this representational conception. The first chapter outlines some philosophical problems of applicability and some of …

A cultural-historical activity theory based analysis of lecturer and student understanding of learning in the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at the University of Cape Town
… and learning in two first-year university mathematics courses at the University of Cape Town. The focus of this investigation is whether the different subjects of this activity system (i.e. the students and the lecturers) have different conceptions of learning, and what those possible …

Hypergraph Distributed Optimization & Decentralized Control with Applications in Economic Networks and Graphical Games
… thesis we present results on the subjects of applied mathematics and economics. More specifically, our applied mathematics results focus on the use of hypergraphs instead of their graph analogue, the clique expansion graphs in the settings of distributed optimization and decentralized control. …

A simple presentation of Fourier's Series
… of trigonometric series in their application to applied mathematics,along with their historical value in the development of the theory of functions and mathematicalanalysis. Even those who are not specially interested in advanced thematics may find an elementary treatment of the subject of some …

Topics In Nonabelian Tensor Products Of Topological Groups
… objects and enjoys many applications in pure and applied mathematics. The tensor product has been studied extensively in linear algebra with generalisations to abstract abelian group theory and modules. In this MSc thesis we study further generalisations of tensor products to non-abelian groups as …

Linear Algebra, Random Matrices and Lie Theory
This thesis bridges the gap between pure and applied mathematics. The first part of this thesis focuses on the theory and computation of various Lie groups. The classical Lie groups as well as the automorphism groups of the bilinear and sesquilinear forms are discussed with numerical examples. In …
