  • On Certain Polynomials of Even Subscripted Lucas Numbers 
    Melham Ray (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1999)
  • Projects for advanced graduates 
    Mackisack Margaret; Petocz Peter (International Association for Statistics Education, 2002)
    This paper presents some issues arising in the use of unscripted consulting projects for final year undergraduate students. The issues relate to the context and difficulty of the projects, the supervisor's role, the ...
  • Enhancing learning using generic and specific aspects of knowledge formation 
    Petocz Peter; Reid Anna (University of Western Australia, 2002)
    Recognising and understanding the diverse ways that students learn is an important step in setting up effective environments for learning. A traditional way of getting this information is to observe the quality of assessed ...
  • Using CSCL methods in secondary mathematics 
    D'Souza Sabita; Wood Leigh (Mathematics Educational Research Group of Australasia, 2002)
    This study compares computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) based instruction and traditional pen-and-paper methodologies and is aimed at investigating the effectiveness of using spreadsheets and collaborative ...
  • How students experience learning statistics and teaching 
    Petocz Peter; Reid Anna (International Association for Statistics Education, 2002)
    Students in the same statistics course learn different things, and view the role of the lecturer in different ways. We report on empirical research on students' conceptions of learning statistics, their expectations of ...
  • Electromagnetic modelling of propagation in photonic crystal lattices 
    Smith Geoff; Botten Lindsay (Institute of Engineers Australia, 2002)
    We outline a theory for electromagnetic scattering by cylinder gratings in conical incidence, based on a multipole method. The theory, and its numerical implementation; can be applied to photonic crystaLs consisting ...
  • Too much of a good thing 
    Wood Leigh; D'Souza Sabita (Engineering Mathematics Group, ANZIAM, Australia, 2003)
  • Designing assessment using the MATH taxonomy 
    D'Souza Sabita; Wood Leigh (Deakin University, 2003)
    The MATH taxonomy is designed to help teachers plan assessment to test a range of skills and concepts. The communication aspects of mathematics and multiple representations are included. This paper describes the analysis ...
  • Photonic bandgap effects as a basis for novel compact devices 
    White Tom; Mcphedran Ross; De Sterke C; Asatryan Ara; Langtry Timothy; Botten Lindsay (COIN/ACOFT 2003, 2003)
    Photonic crystals offer the opportunity to design ultra-compact optical devices. Here we consider the "folded directional coupler," which combines elements of a directional coupler and a Fabry-Perot interferometer. This ...
  • A comparison between two types of 3D photonic crystals 
    Smith Geoff; Botten Lindsay; Mcphedran Ross; Nicorovici Nicolae (Engineering Mathematics Group, ANZIAM, Australia, 2003)
  • Pick-up and delivery with time windows and due dates 
    Neame Philip; Carmody Georgina (University of Ballarat, 2004)
    We consider a variant on a pick-up and delivery problem with time windows, where both early and late delivery of items is penalized. This problem arises from an application in the area of defence, but has wider applications ...
  • Language of University Mathematics 
    Wood Leigh; Smith Geoff (ICME 2004, 2004)
    Using the example of de Moivre's theorem, we show that the ability to translate between different representations of the same mathematical concepts is vital for success in mathematics. Computer algebra systems have added ...
  • The profession entity: research the relationship between students' conceptions of learning and their future professions 
    Reid Anna; Petocz Peter (Oxford Centre for Staff & Learning Development, 2004)
  • Preemptive scheduling on parallel processors with due dates 
    Zinder Yakov; Singh Gaurav (Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2004)
    A priority algorithm is presented for the maximum lateness problem with parallel identical processors, precedence constraints, and preemptions. The algorithm calculates a task's priority by constructing a schedule for ...
  • The need for higher education reform - problems faced with assessing collaborative team based work 
    D'Souza Sabita; Wood Leigh (ICME 2004, 2004)
    With a rise in group work across schools and universities, there has been a great deal of research regarding the beneficial impacts of teamwork on learning. However, research is limited in the area of assessment of ...
  • On becoming a mathematician 
    Petocz Peter; Wood Leigh; Smith Geoff; Reid Anna (ICME 2004, 2004)
    In this paper, we report on our investigations of mathematics students' ideas about working as professionals in the mathematical sciences, and the impact that these ideas have on their learning of mathematics. Our ...
  • Genetic algorithms for robust optimization in financial applications 
    Cao Longbing; Lin Li; Zhang Chengqi (ACTA Press, 2005)
    In stock market or other financial market systems, the technical trading rules are used widely to generate buy and sell alert signals. In each rule, there are many parameters. The users often want to get the best ...
  • Scheduling UET tasks on parallel machines: strength of priority algorithms 
    Zinder Yakov (Western Australian Centre of Excellence in Industrial Optimisation, Curtin University of Technology, 2005)
    The paper is concerned with the problem of scheduling a partially ordered set of unit execution time tasks on parallel identical machines in ordered to minimize the criterion of maximum lateness, which plays one of the ...
  • Minimum norm dual solutions and column generalisation stabilisation 
    Neame Philip (Western Australian Centre of Excellence in Industrial Optimisation, Curtin University of Technology, 2005)
    Column generation is an important technique for solving very large-scale integer programming problems, with important applications in crew scheduling and vehicle routing. However, it has been observed that the column ...
  • 8-Equalities of Sequences of Fuzzy Sets 
    Zhang Guangquan; Lu Jie (Tsinghua University Press, 2005)
    The concept of 8-equalities of Fuzzy Sets was first proposed by Cai in 1995 to measure the degree of equality between two different fuzzy sets. Two fuzzy sets are said to be 8-equal if they are equal to an extent of ...
