Lesson Study: Mathematics teachers become the professionals in their professional development
DownloadFall 2009
This research begins with an argument for the implementation of a professional development model that would empower mathematics teachers to make changes to their mathematical teaching practices. As this argument evolves so does the need for further investigation into what key components are...

Mathematics Intervention for Children with Prenatal Alcohol Exposure and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
DownloadFall 2013
Individuals with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) experience deficits in behavior, cognition, and academic functioning resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE). Although receiving intervention for developmental disabilities is a strong protective factor against negative outcomes in...

The aim of this thesis is to provide an exposition to Mochizuki and Hoshi's approach to birational anabelian geometry of mixed characteristic local fields. In the introductory chapter, we begin by recalling the relevant backgrounds on the Grothendieck conjectures on the étale fundamental groups...

This thesis pursues the study of non-algebraic and non-Kahler compact complex manifolds by traditionally algebraic methods involving sheaves, cohomology and K-theory. To that end, Bott-Chern cohomology is developed to complement De Rham and Dolbeault cohomology. The first substantial chapter is...

Fall 2014
Primarily the conversation surrounding humanities computing has been mainly focused on defining the relationship between humanities computing and conventional humanities, while the relationship humanities computing has to computers, and by extension mathematics, has been mainly ignored. The...

The influence of contextual factors on assistive technology strategies for mathematics learning in students with physical impairments
DownloadFall 2018
Performance of students with physical impairments in mathematics are often limited because of the use of hands-on strategies using manipulatives (e.g., blocks or Cuisenaire rods) to learn early concepts. Two assistive technology (AT) strategies have been used by students to handle manipulatives,...

Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer conjectured a simple characterization of those Fuchsian groups whose modular forms have integral Fourier coefficient. It has a natural and far-reaching generalization, which we will call the vASD conjecture, to vector-valued modular forms. We confirm vASD conjecture for...

Writing Research Articles in Discrete Mathematics: A Rhetorical, Multimodal Genre Analysis and Pedagogy
DownloadSpring 2022
This dissertation reports my rhetorical, multimodal genre analysis of research articles (RAs) in discrete mathematics and its pedagogical applications. The increasing demand on graduate students to publish their research in English and the need of these students to write in the key genres of...
