A basic problem when deriving information from measured data, such as images, originates from the fact that objects in the world, and hence image structures, exist as meaningful entities only over certain ranges of scale. "Scale-Space Theory in Computer Vision" describes a formal theory

All students studying a quantitative course in higher education need certain basic mathematical skills that depend on the syllabus being followed. For a variety of reasons, many students are entering higher education without the requisite competence. Unless action is taken now the problem

These notes discuss formalizing contexts as first class objects. The basic relation is ist(c; p). It asserts that the proposition p is true in the context c. The most important formulas relate the propositions true in different contexts. Introducing contexts as formal objects will permit

necessary and in which amount. I start from my point of view that- at this moment- we cannot and should not do without certain basic skills in mathematics. I feel unable to give any forecast for the future. I am sure that we could signifi-cantly rise the acceptance of technology in teaching mathematics

-directed approach behavior, and decision making under uncertainty. Individual neurons can be studied in the reward systems of the brain, including dopamine neurons, orbitofrontal cortex, and striatum. The neural activity can be related to basic theoretical terms of reward and uncertainty, such as contiguity

Teaching students to think mathematically or to apply mathematics to the solution of real-world problems has become a national priority. This paper explores a method of developing the basic problem-solving skills in a remedial mathematics course at the college freshman level. The first part

, it suffices to determine whether the resemblance is above a certain threshold. In this talk we show how this determination can be made using a ”sample ” of less than 50 bytes per document. The basic approach for computing resemblance has two aspects: first, resemblance is expressed as a set (of strings

Abstract: The distinction between conceptual understanding and basic skills is as old as mathematics education research itself. It still remains a central issue for many disputes. In this paper, building upon professor Hung-Hsi Wu’s rejection of the distinction, I explore three possible accounts

of this study was to test the efficacy of using games presented on the PLATO IV instructional system to provide remedial mathematics training for Basic Electricity/Electronics (BE/E) School trainees. Two learning tasks which provide the most difficulty for students were selected and instructionally programmed
