Measurement of the mass of the W boson using direct reconstruction at √s = 183 GeV
1999
From data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 53.5 pb(-1) taken during the 183 GeV run in 1997, DELPHI has measured the W mass from direct reconstruction of WW --> lq (q) over bar and WW --> q (q) over bar q (q) over bar events. Combining these channels, a value of m(w) = 80.238 +/- 0.154(stat) +/- 0.035(syst) +/- 0.035(fsi) +/- 0.021 (LEP) GeV/c(2) is obtained, where fsi denotes final state interaction. Combined with the W mass obtained by DELPHI from the WW production cross-section and with the direct measurement at 172 GeV this leads to a measured value of m(w) = 80.270 +/- 0.137(stat) +/- 0.031(syst) +/- 0.030(fsi) +/- 0.021(LEP)GeV/c(2), in good agreement with the Standard Mod…
When outstanding mathematicians cannot figure out that 14 – 2 = 12
2018
International audience; We investigated what happens when non-mathematical knowledge interferes with mathematical knowledge in arithmetic word problem solving. Adults and expert mathematicians had to evaluate the solutions of basic additive problems. The non-mathematical knowledge evoked by the problems hindered both populations’ success rates and response times when incongruent with the solving algorithm.

A case study on Finnish pupils' mathematical thinking: Problem solving and view of mathematics
2017
International audience; In this article, the mathematical thinking of four Finnish pupils is reported using two temporally different data sets: problem-solving processes and view of mathematics. While the pupils seem similar on the surface level (high achievers, successful problem solvers, enjoy mathematics, motivated to learn mathematics), a closer look at their problem-solving processes and view of mathematics reveal very different strengths and weaknesses in their mathematical thinking. Most of the similarities in this study were found in individual pupils' problem-solving processes and view of mathematics.
Learning to Teach Mathematics: Expanding the Role of Practicum as an Integrated Part of a Teacher Education Programme
2009
The premise of the 15th ICMI Study is that teachers are key to students' opportunities to learn mathematics. What teachers of mathematics know, care about, and do is a product of their experiences and socialization, together with the impact of their professional education. The Professional Education and Development of Teachers of Mathematics assembles important new international work- development, research, theory and practice - concerning the professional education of teachers of mathematics. As it examines critical areas to reveal what is known and what significant questions and problems warrant collective attention, the volume also contributes to the strengthening of the international co…
Strong Converse Results for Linking Operators and Convex Functions
2020
We consider a family B n , ρ c of operators which is a link between classical Baskakov operators (for ρ = ∞ ) and their genuine Durrmeyer type modification (for ρ = 1 ). First, we prove that for fixed n , c and a fixed convex function f , B n , ρ c f is decreasing with respect to ρ . We give two proofs, using various probabilistic considerations. Then, we combine this property with some existing direct and strong converse results for classical operators, in order to get such results for the operators B n , ρ c applied to convex functions.
Sylow subgroups, exponents, and character values
2019
If G G is a finite group, p p is a prime, and P P is a Sylow p p -subgroup of G G , we study how the exponent of the abelian group P / P ′ P/P’ is affected and how it affects the values of the complex characters of G G . This is related to Brauer’s Problem 12 12 . Exactly how this is done is one of the last unsolved consequences of the McKay–Galois conjecture.
Characters of 𝑝’-degree with cyclotomic field of values
2006
If p p is a prime number and G G is a finite group, we show that G G has an irreducible complex character of degree not divisible by p p with values in the cyclotomic field Q p \mathbb {Q}_p .
A C0-Semigroup of Ulam Unstable Operators
2020
The Ulam stability of the composition of two Ulam stable operators has been investigated by several authors. Composition of operators is a key concept when speaking about C0-semigroups. Examples of C0-semigroups formed with Ulam stable operators are known. In this paper, we construct a C0-semigroup (Rt)t&ge
