In this paper, we give formulas determining the Fibonacci polynomials of order k using the so-called generalized Newton symbols, i.e., the coefficients in the expansion of (1+z +z^2 +. . .+z^{k−1})n with respect to the powers of z.
In this paper we present several examples of simple dynamical systemsdescribing various real processes. We start from well know Fibonaccisequence, through Lotka-Volterra model of prey-predator system, love affairdynamics, ending with modelling of tumour growth.
We discuss the creative role of objects called pathologies by mathematicians.Pathologies may become “domesticated” and give rise to newmathematical domains. Thus they influence changes in mathematical intuition.
We discuss the popularization of science, in particular, mathematics.We focus on the contemporary methods and forms of popularization ofmathematics at Children’s Universities in Poland: lectures, workshops andseminars.
We use the recurrence relations and the Pell equations to determineall integer triangles whose lengths are consecutive integers and the length ofa fixed median is a rational number.
The term mathematical modelling covers a wide range of activities. These are not only purely mathematical skills but also skills referring toa framework of modelled situation. For this reason, acquiring the skills of mathematical modelling brings a number of teaching benefits. This ability is connected with necessary competencies related to mathematical modelling. Mathematics students – prospect teachers...
The aims and functions of mathematics education differ depending on the level of education. Moreover, the role of mathematics itself differs depending on the domain of its application. In this paper, we focus on mathematics education in the course of economics studies. Unfortunately, while mathematical methods prove useful in building economic models and the importance is still growing, the mathematics...
There are two different approaches to nonstandard analysis: semantic(model-theoretic) and syntactic (axiomatic). Both of these approachesrequire some knowledge of mathematical logic. We present a method basedon an ultrapower construction which does not require any mathematical logicprerequisites. On the one hand, it is a complementary course to a standardcalculus course. On the other hand, since it...
In this paper the authors formulate and prove several conditions fortriangle to be equilateral. These conditions are associated with Gergonne,Nagel and Torricelli points and were obtained by composing and solvingthe so-called ‘enforcement tasks’. Both, the method and the results, can beused to trigger some mathematical student activities at different levels ofeducation or even some teacher activities.
