This short paper analyzes deal making as a solution to the problem of blockage posed by early-stage patents in biotechnology. It begins with the notion---suggested by current research in the field---that solving important problems in human and animal health, such as curing or preventing cancer...
In Greek and early modern times alike—not to say in any era—mathematics was written for mathematicians. But today more than ever the study of the history and philosophy of mathematics is handled by non-mathematicians, who are more inclined to rely on philosophical authors. It has thus come...
while multiple solution paths are possible, each problem has a single, correct answer. Finally, Bolden et al. (2010) investigated primary school PTs in the UK early in their education course at the beginning of the program and found that the PTs held narrow, absolutist views of mathematics as...
In the first approach, the students perform a random exploration of the problem so as to solve it for values of\(n\)chosen without any particular aim. In this stage, which is called random experimentation, the students identify certain features of the problem. For instance, they may realize ...

Hypothesis 2 Gender stereotypes related to mathematics learning held by parents have a negative effect on female students’ mathematical capability. In addition, some studies have found that gender bias in the early education stage has a long-term impact on the development of students (Lavy and San...

In this study, we investigated undergraduate mathematics students’ (N = 267) attitudes towards proving. The students were taking an intro
Mathematics is more than just basic skills. Mathematical thinking should be an important aspect of mathematics education. In the Netherlands, higher-order thinking skills like mathematical problem solving, reasoning, modelling and communicating mathemati
