Transport modelling in the Cape Town Metropolitan Area
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The use of MEPLAN by the Metropolitan Transport Planning Branch of the Cape Town City Council since 1984 was not successful due to apartheid anomalies. EMME/2 was then introduced in 1991 in replacement of MEPLAN. In this ...
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 ...
Skills, training and support for carers in HIV/AIDS community home-based care: a case study of carers in Chikankata, Zambia
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The high prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Zambia has led to the development of innovative ways of coping with sickness related to this infection. HIV/AIDS home-based care is one such innovation designed in Chikankata Hospital in ...
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 ...
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 ...
The non-cancellation groups of certain groups which are split extensions of a finite abelian group by a finite rank free abelian group
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The groups we consider in this study belong to the class Xo of all finitely generated groups with finite commutator subgroups. We shall eventually narrow down to the groups of the form T)<lw zn for some nE N and some finite ...
