PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES FACING EFFECTIVE STUDY OF MATHEMATICS AMONG UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

CHAPTER ONE/INTRODUCTION The interactions between the variables of instructors, students, curriculum, local context, and other aspects in teaching have an impact on what will occur in courses (Stigler and Hilbert, 1998). Rubenstein (2004) endorsed the idea that teaching is a difficult task. The foundational knowledge for teaching mathematics comprises an understanding of mathematics, the relationships […]

PERCEPTION OF STUDENTS TOWARDS THE LEARNING OF MATHEMATICS WITH THE AID OF USING THE INTERNET

PERCEPTION OF STUDENTS TOWARDS THE LEARNING OF MATHEMATICS WITH THE AID OF USING THE INTERNET CHAPTER ONE/INTRODUCTION Background to the Study Although there is an increasing number of books and articles suggesting how the Internet can be used in the school classroom for mathematics (Barron and Ivers, 1998; Butler, 1998; Crane, 2000; Masselos, 2000; Herrera, […]

Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria

Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria Abstract A novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, emerged from the Wuhan city of China at the end of 2019, causing devastating public health and socio-economic burden around the world. In the absence of a safe and effective vaccine or antiviral for use in humans, control […]

Investigating the cases of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) Using dynamic statistical techniques

Abstract The initial investigation by local hospital attributed the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) to pneumonia unknown cause that appeared like the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) that occurred in 2003. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 as public health emergency after it spread outside China to numerous countries. Thus, an assessment […]

A mathematical model for simulating the phase-based transmissibility of a novel coronavirus

Background As reported by the World Health Organization, a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was identified as the causative virus of Wuhan pneumonia of unknown etiology by Chinese authorities on 7 January, 2020. The virus was named as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) by International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses on 11 February, 2020. This […]

EFFECT OF STUDENT PERCEPTION ON TEACHING AND LEARNING MATHEMATICS

EFFECT OF STUDENT PERCEPTION ON TEACHING AND LEARNING MATHEMATICS CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Teaching is a complex system which affects what will happen in classes through the interactions among the factors of teachers, students, curriculum, local setting and others (Stigler and Hilbert, 1998). Rubenstein (2004) supported teaching as a complex endeavor. The knowledge base behind mathematics […]

Mathematical Modeling of Predator-Prey models: Lotka-Volterra Systems

Mathematical Modeling of Predator-Prey models: Lotka-Volterra Systems The time dependent non-linear reaction-diffusion equation in predator–prey models in Lotka- Volterra system has been formulated and solved analytically and numerically. Analytical expressions for the prey and predator populations are derived by using the HPM. The primary result of this work is simple approximate calculations of prey and […]

Modeling Economic Output and Economic Growth with respect to Economic Freedom

Modeling Economic Output and Economic Growth with respect to Economic Freedom A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DEVELOPING AND DEVELOPED COUNTRIES   Background to thesis   The governing dynamics behind the output of an economy (GDP) is subject to constant debate in economics. What makes an economy prosper and why are some countries more prosperous than others? […]

REMOTE MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT OF SERVERS FROM MOBILE DEVICES

REMOTE MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT OF SERVERS FROM MOBILE DEVICES ABSTRACT Internet usage has tremendously increased these days. The services that users access across a network and the servers that host these services need to be monitored for availability/protection and efficiency. The need for remote monitoring of servers as well as the services is essential,  since […]
