Character tables of some groups of extension type
Prins, Abraham L. (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 ... -
Computation of the character tables of certain group extensions
James, C. (University of the Western Cape, 1997)The work done in this mini-thesis deals mainly with different methods of calculating character tables of split extensions of finite groups. Three of the six character tables that are calculated are done with the use of ... -
Elementary logic as a tool in proving mathematical statements
May, Bruce Matthew (University of the Western Cape, 2008)The findings of the study indicate that knowledge of logic does help to improve the ability of students to make logical connections (deductions) between and from statements.The results of the study, however, do not indicate ... -
Elementary Logic as a Tool in Proving Mathematical Statements
May, Bruce Matthew (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 ... -
Fischer-clifford matrices and character tables of inertia groups of maximal subgroups of finite simple groups of extension type
Prins, A.L. (University of the Western Cape, 2011)The aim of this dissertation is to calculate character tables of group extensions. There are several well–developed methods for calculating the character tables of group extensions. In this dissertation we study the method ... -
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.
Isaacs, Brian Ernest Leonard (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 ...
