Analysis and robust simulation of mathematical models of HIV and Leishmaniasis co-infection
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)The purpose of this thesis is the theoretical and numerical study of epidemiological models of Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) and human immunode ciency virus (HIV) coinfection. We study these models theoretically and design ... -
Analysis of errors in derivatives of trigonometric functions: a case study in an extended curriculum programme
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)The purpose of this study was to explore errors that are displayed by students when learning derivatives of trigonometric functions in an extended curriculum programme. The first aim was to identify errors that are displayed ... -
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 00 (0.1) v=-oo The norm in (0.1) is the usual ... -
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 ... -
Investigating an integrated teaching methodology as a means to prepare students for university studies in mathematics
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)A key issue for the success of students entering a first year mathematics course at tertiary level is whether or not they have an integrated understanding and view of the mathematical concepts acquired at school. Various ... -
Maximal left ideals and idealizers in matrix rings
(University pf Stellenbosch, 1984)In this chapter we supply all the necessary definitions as well as the required results needed in this work. All the notation and terminology will also be explained carefully. -
Reliable numerical simulations of problems for pricing real estate derivatives
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)The globalisation of nancial systems has presented new challenges to investing in real estate assets. For example, any crisis occurring in one real estate market will have an adverse e ect on other markets regardless ... -
The role of visualization in the teaching and learning of multivariate calculus and systems of ordinary differential equations
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of visualization in the conceptualisation and solution of problems in multivariate calculus and dynamical systems. The theoretical basis, and the visual and analytical ... -
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 ...
