Sprachliche Variationen von mathematischen Textaufgaben: Entwicklung eines Instruments zur Textanpassung für Textaufgaben im Mathematikunterricht (Bielefelder Schriften zur Didaktik der Mathematik #5)
by David BednorzIn diesem Open-Access-Buch wird gezeigt, dass ein Instrument zur sprachlichen adaptiven Anpassung benötigt wird, um auf die sprachlichen Lernvoraussetzungen bei Textaufgaben von Lernenden im Mathematikunterricht reagieren zu können. Auf Basis eines quantitativen Vorgehens werden die sprachlichen Variationen in mathematische Textaufgaben festgestellt und als Grundlage für sprachliche Veränderungspraktiken genutzt. Anhand der Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit werden fünf Faktoren herausgestellt, die für die Variation von Textaufgaben bedeutsam sind: der erklärende, komprimierende, beschreibende, informative und instruktive Faktor. Zur Konzeption des Instruments werden der Einfluss auf die Aufgabenschwierigkeit und die Verbindung zu fachlich-kontextuellen Merkmalen bestimmt.
Sprachsensibler Aufbau des Vektorbegriffs: Eine Entwicklungsforschungsstudie in der Sekundarstufe II
by Sarah-Sofie ArmbrustIn diesem Buch wird auf Basis bereits etablierter Design-Prinzipien ein sprachsensibles Lehr-Lern-Arrangement zum Aufbau des Vektorbegriffs entwickelt. Dieses wird im Zuge einer Entwicklungsforschungsstudie mit Lernenden der Sekundarstufe II empirisch erprobt und erforscht. Dabei steht die qualitative Analyse individueller sprachlicher und fachlicher Lernverläufe im Fokus. Die Autorin liefert vielfältige Ergebnisse, die sowohl die mathematik-didaktische Forschung als auch die Bildungspraxis bereichern: Erstens wird ein sprachsensibles Lehr-Lern-Arrangement für den Vektorbegriff vorgestellt, dessen Lernwirksamkeit hinsichtlich des Aufbaus von Grundvorstellungen durch die Ergebnisse der empirischen Erprobung nahegelegt wird. Es kann folglich von Akteur*innen aus der Bildungspraxis für die Förderung von sprachlich und fachlich schwachen Lernenden eingesetzt werden. Zweitens werden auf theoretischer Basis sprachliche und fachliche Anforderungen des Themenbereichs Vektoren identifiziert. In diesem Rahmen werden auf der Grundlage von fachlichen Analysen Grundvorstellungen für den Vektorbegriff abgeleitet, wodurch einem bestehenden Forschungsdesiderat begegnet wird.
The Spread of Almost Simple Classical Groups (Lecture Notes in Mathematics #2286)
by Scott HarperThis monograph studies generating sets of almost simple classical groups, by bounding the spread of these groups. Guralnick and Kantor resolved a 1962 question of Steinberg by proving that in a finite simple group, every nontrivial element belongs to a generating pair. Groups with this property are said to be 3/2-generated. Breuer, Guralnick and Kantor conjectured that a finite group is 3/2-generated if and only if every proper quotient is cyclic. We prove a strong version of this conjecture for almost simple classical groups, by bounding the spread of these groups. This involves analysing the automorphisms, fixed point ratios and subgroup structure of almost simple classical groups, so the first half of this monograph is dedicated to these general topics. In particular, we give a general exposition of Shintani descent. This monograph will interest researchers in group generation, but the opening chapters also serve as a general introduction to the almost simple classical groups.

Springer Handbook of Geographic Information (Springer Handbooks)
by Wolfgang Kresse David DankoThis handbook provides an exhaustive, one-stop reference and a state-of-the-art description of geographic information and its use. This new, substantially updated edition presents a complete and rigorous overview of the fundamentals, methods and applications of the multidisciplinary field of geographic information systems. Designed to be a useful and readable desk reference book, but also prepared in various electronic formats, this title allows fast yet comprehensive review and easy retrieval of essential reliable key information. The Springer Handbook of Geographic Information is divided into three parts. Part A, Basics and Computer Science, provides an overview on the fundamentals, including descriptions of databases and encoding of geographic information. It also covers the underlying mathematical and statistics methods and modeling. A new chapter exemplifies the emerging use and analysis of big data in a geographic context. Part B offers rigorous descriptions of gathering, processing and coding of geographic information in a standardized way to allow interoperable use in a variety of systems; from traditional methods such as geodesy and surveying to state-of-the-art remote sensing and photogrammetry; from cartography to geospatial web services. Discussions on geosemantic interoperability and security of open distributed geospatial information systems complete the comprehensive coverage. The final part describes a wide array of applications in science, industry and society at large, such as agriculture, defense, transportation, energy and utilities, health and human services. The part is enhanced by new chapters on smart cities and building information modeling, as well as a complete overview of the currently available open-source geographic information systems. Using standardized international terminology, in accordance with ISO/TC 211 and INSPIRE, this handbook facilitates collaboration between different disciplines and is a must have for practitioners and new comers in industry and academia.
Springer Handbook of Geographic Information
by Wolfgang Kresse David M. DankoComputer science provides a powerful tool that was virtually unknown three generations ago. Some of the classical fields of knowledge are geodesy (surveying), cartography, and geography. Electronics have revolutionized geodetic methods. Cartography has faced the dominance of the computer that results in simplified cartographic products. All three fields make use of basic components such as the Internet and databases. The Springer Handbook of Geographic Information is organized in three parts, Basics, Geographic Information and Applications. Some parts of the basics belong to the larger field of computer science. However, the reader gets a comprehensive view on geographic information because the topics selected from computer science have a close relation to geographic information. The Springer Handbook of Geographic Information is written for scientists at universities and industry as well as advanced and PhD students.
Springer Handbook of Spacetime (Springer Handbooks)
by Abhay Ashtekar Vesselin PetkovThe Springer Handbook of Spacetime is dedicated to the ground-breaking paradigm shifts embodied in the two relativity theories, and describes in detail the profound reshaping of physical sciences they ushered in. It includes in a single volume chapters on foundations, on the underlying mathematics, on physical and astrophysical implications, experimental evidence and cosmological predictions, as well as chapters on efforts to unify general relativity and quantum physics. The Handbook can be used as a desk reference by researchers in a wide variety of fields, not only by specialists in relativity but also by researchers in related areas that either grew out of, or are deeply influenced by, the two relativity theories: cosmology, astronomy and astrophysics, high energy physics, quantum field theory, mathematics, and philosophy of science. It should also serve as a valuable resource for graduate students and young researchers entering these areas, and for instructors who teach courses on these subjects.The Handbook is divided into six parts. Part A: Introduction to Spacetime Structure. Part B: Foundational Issues. Part C: Spacetime Structure and Mathematics. Part D: Confronting Relativity theories with observations. Part E: General relativity and the universe. Part F: Spacetime beyond Einstein.
