A survey of the computer enhanced services of the Outreach Project of UWC developed for grade 12 mathematic learners and a critical appraisal of the MICSEC2000 program.
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The Outreach Project of the University of the Western Cape has since 1982 through various computer supported services been assisting grade 12 mathematics learners and educators at previously disadvantaged Western Cape high ...
Numerical methods for the valuation of financial derivatives
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Numerical methods form an important part of the pricing of financial derivatives and especially in cases where there is no closed form analytical formula. We begin our work with an introduction of the mathematical tools ...
Analysis and Implementation of a Positivity Preserving Numerical Method for an HIV model
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
This thesis deals with analysis and implementation of a positivity preserving numerical method for a vaccination model for the transmission dynamics of two HIV subtypes in a given community. The continuous model is analyzed ...
Throughput of UWC students who did at least one semester of third-year Statistics
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The study explores the completion rates (the number of years a student takes to
complete a degree) of graduates at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) in
South Africa. The graduates in the study all did at least one ...
Block Toeplitz operators with rational symbols and discrete singular systems
(University of the Western Cape, 2001)
This thesis concerns block Toeplitz operators (equations). Consider the block
Toeplitz operator T = [<I> k-j ]k,j=O' where the <I>k are complex m x m matrices such
that

v=-oo
The norm in (0.1) is the usual ...
Computing Mislin genera of certain groups with non-abelian torsion radicals
(University of the Western Cape, 2004)
In this mini-thesis we present some generalities of non-cancellation and localization
and we compute non-cancellation groups. We consider groups belonging to the class
X0 of all finitely generated groups that have finite ...
A critical analysis of the pre-calculus course at U.W.C.
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
Mathematical knowledge and skills have, over the last few decades, become very important in terms of study and work opportunities. Unfortunately, schools in South Africa have not met the expectations of their pupils or the ...
Elementary Logic as a Tool in Proving Mathematical Statements
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
An analysis of South African school mathematics results indicates that one of the problem areas in the mathematical performance of learners is proof and proving. In an endeavour to improve the mathematical proving ability ...
Pairings of binary reflexive relational structures
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
The main purpose of this thesis is to study the interplay between relational structures and topology, and to portray pairings in terms of some finite poset models and order preserving maps. We show the interrelations between ...
Character tables of some groups of extension type
(University of the Western Cape, 2002)
The main aim of this mini-thesis is to give a description of some of the basic methods and techniques
that have been developed to calculate the character tables of groups of extension type. We restrict
our attention to ...
