Geometrical reasoning in the primary school, the case of parallel lines
No full textDuring the primary school years, children are typically expected to develop ways of explaining their mathematical reasoning. This paper reports on ideas developed during an analysis of data from a project which involved young children (aged 5-7 years old) in a whole-class situation using dynamic geometry software (specifically Sketchpad). The focus is a classroom episode in which the children try to decide whether two lines that they know continue (but cannot see all of the continuation) will intersect, or not. The analysis illustrates how the children can move from an empirical, visual description of spatial relations to a more theoretical, abstract one. The arguments used by the children during the lesson transcend empirical arguments, providing evidence of how young children can be capable of engaging in aspects of deductive argumentation

PeerPigeon: A Web Application to Support Generalised Peer Review
No full textPeer Review (also known as Peer Assessment) is an important technique in learning, but can be difficult to support through e-learning due to the complexity and variety of peer review processes. In this paper we present PeerPigeon, a Web 2.0 style application that supports generalised Peer Review by using a canonical model of Peer Review based on a Peer Review Pattern consisting of Peer Review Cycles, each defined in terms of Peer Review Transforms. We also demonstrate how PeerPigeon makes use of a Domain Specific Language based on Ruby to define these plans, and thus cope with the irreducible complexity of the flow of documents around a peer network

Strong singularity of singular masas in II<sub>1</sub> factors
No full textA singular masa A in a II1 factor N is defined by the property that any unitary w ∈ N for which A=wAw* must lie in A. A strongly singular masa A is one that satisfies the inequality ||EA- EwAw*||∞,2 ≥||w- EA(w)||2
for all unitaries w ∈ N where EA is the conditional expectation of N onto A, and ||⋅||∞,2 is defined for bounded maps Φ : N → N by sup{||Φ (x)||2:x ∈ N,||x||≤1}. Strong singularity easily implies singularity, and the main result of this paper shows the reverse implication

Gauge Fields and Strings
No full textBased on his own work, the author synthesizes the most promising approaches and ideals in field theory today. He presents such subjects as statistical mechanics, quantum field theory and their interrelation, continuous global symmetry, non-Abelian gauge fields, instantons and the quantam theory of loops, and quantum strings and random surfaces. This book is aimed at postgraduate students studying field theory and statistical mechanics, and for research workers in continuous global theory
