Exploring the experiences and persistence of women in undergraduate mathematics and statistics programs
… STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) programs is low, and of the few who enter these programs, research shows they are at least 1.5 times more likely to leave the field than their male peers (Ellis et al., 2016). Various factors have been identified as reasons why …

An exploration of strategies to support non-specialist mathematics and statistics learners in higher education in Mauritius
Mathematics anxiety is a prevalent issue which prevents students from choosing under-graduate studies that contain high contents of mathematics and statistics, in higher educa-tion. Academics have been trying hard to find ways to support non-specialist mathematics students, through various means, …

Scuttlebutt: Stories
… writing creatively as it leverages rhetorical and compositional strategies as part of the creative process. The paper also argues that the use of varied disciplinary theories and knowledge from such diverse areas as psychology, sociolinguistics, grammar, mathematics and statistics, all assist …

Laplace transforms, probabilities and queues.
… as the probability that the corresponding random variable wins a race against (i.e., is less than) an exponential random variable. This interpretation is used to compute Laplace transforms of some p.d.f.'s, interpret some properties of the Laplace transform and prove some results for M/G/1 …

An harmonic analysis for operators on homogeneous Banach spaces.
… compact, particularly G = T (the circle group), and in the second G is locally compact. In both cases, we define the classes of invariant and almost invariant operators in L (B) and investigate their properties. With each T ∈ L (B), we associate a Fourier series and show that this series …

Data-Driven Methods for Low-Energy Nuclear Theory
… are at the intersection of computer science,mathematics, and statistics. When applied to a domain science like nuclear physics, especially with the goalof deepening scientific insight, data-driven methods form a core pillar of the computational science endeavor.In this dissertation I explore …

A Multidimensional Analysis of Randomness Misconceptions: Triangulating Teachers' Concept Knowledge Flexibility, Opinions of the Concept of Randomness, and Use of Multisensory Learning
Randomness misconceptions impact our statistical literacy and can affect our understanding of related concepts, such as in the context of distributions. Misconceptions are particularly problematic if held by teachers since their heuristics and biases could be passed on to students. This thesis uses …

Flow and stability studies in porous media based on some non-Darcian models.
This thesis deals with the study of certain flow and stability problems in porous media using some non-Darcian models. It is divided into three parts, which are essentially independent of each other. The first part deals with the theoretical study related with the solution of the Brinkman equation. …

The racetrack : a scientific approach
Horseracing and its associated activity of gambling invites academic research of a multidisciplinary nature. Economics, psychology, mathematics and statistics are all fields that have investigated the two topics. In 1976 economists discovered a new body of data on which they could test their …

FOURTH MOMENT AND SIMULATED POWERS OF MRPP STATISTICS.
… of hypotheses, assumptions concerning normality and homogeneity of variances are needed. Often practical data do not meet some of these assumptions and the idea of robustness is advanced. To avoid making assumptions underlying a tests, Mielke, Berry and Johnson introduced the MRPP (Multi-response …

Predictors of Statistics Anxiety Among Graduate Students in Saudi Arabia
… anxiety experienced by graduate students toward statistics courses, which often causes students to delay taking statistics courses until the end of their program. Students believe that statistics courses are not essential and are the greatest obstacles to obtaining their degree. Previous …

Fuzzy techniques for noise removal in image sequences and interval-valued fuzzy mathematical morphology
… surveillance systems, autonomous navigation and so on. Due to bad acquisition, transmission or recording, the sequences are however usually corrupted by noise, which hampers the functioning of many image processing techniques. A preprocessing module to filter the images often becomes …
