Applied mathematical problem solving, modelling, applications, and links to other subjects
(1991)
The paper will consist of three parts. In part I we shall present some background considerations which are necessary as a basis for what follows. We shall try to clarify some basic concepts and notions, and we shall collect the most important arguments (and related goals) in favour of problem solving, modelling and applications to other subjects in mathematics instruction. In the main part II we shall review the present state, recent trends, and prospective lines of development, both in empirical or theoretical ...

Preformal proving: examples and reflections
(1991)
The starting point of our reflections is a classroom situation in grade 12 in which it was to be proved intuitively that non-trivial solutions of the differential equation f' = f have no zeros. We give a working definition of the concept of preformal proving, as well as three examples of preformal proofs. Then we furnish several such proofs of the aforesaid fact, and we analyse these proofs in detail. Finally, we draw some conclusions for mathematics in school and in teacher training.

Applications and modelling in mathematics teaching
(1991)
The aim of this paper is a comprehensive presentation of some important basic and general aspects of the topic applications and modelling, with emphasis on the secondary school level. Owing to the review character of this paper, some overlap with the survey paper Blum and Niss (1989) for ICME-6 in Budapest is inevitable. The paper will consist of three parts. In part 1, I shall try to clarify some basic concepts and remind the reader of a few application and modelling examples suitable for teaching. In part 2, I shall ...

Elementare Behandlung exponentieller Prozesse
(Inst. für Film und Bild in Wissenschaft und Unterricht, 1980)
Die Unterrichtsschritte, die im Videoband nicht gezeigt werden konnten, werden in diesem Beiheft erläutert: Nach einer "Beschreibung des Themas" wird die "Ausarbeitung der drei Lernsequenzen" am Beispiel des Unterrichts in einer kaufmännischen Berufsschule, einer Berufsfachschule Gesundheitswesen und einer technischen Fachoberschule ausführlich dargestellt.

Mathematical modelling in mathematics education and instruction
(1993)
This paper aims at giving a concise survey of the present state-of-the-art of mathematical modelling in mathematics education and instruction. It will consist of four parts. In part 1, some basic concepts relevant to the topic will be clarified and, in particular, mathematical modelling will be defined in a broad, comprehensive sense. Part 2 will review arguments for the inclusion of modelling in mathematics teaching at schools and universities, and identify certain schools of thought within mathematics education. ...

Zur Konzeption einer "praktischen Mathematik" in der Berufsschule
(1985)
Ausgehend von zwei Beispielen wird in Abschnitt 1 der derzeitige Fachrechenunterricht in der Berufsschule kurz beschrieben (ausführlichere Analysen sind bei BARDY u, a. 1980 und bei BARDY/BLUM/BRAUN 1985 zu finden). Dann wird in Abschnitt 2 eine eigene Konzeption für den mathematischen Unterricht in der Berufsschule skizziert (ausführlicher ist diese Konzeption bei BLUM 1976 und BLUM 1981 dargestellt) und anhand der einleitenden Beispiele verdeutlicht.

Finite Element Simulations for the Design of Therapeutic Approaches for Retinal Diseases
(2022)
The retinal disease age-related macular degeneration is the most common cause of vision loss in industrialized countries. In this thesis, motivated by the drug (antibody) treatment of this disease, we designed long-term three dimensional Finite Element simulations of the drug distribution in the healthy human eye. The underlying model consists of a time-dependent convection-diffusion equation coupled to a stationary Darcy equation describing the flow of the aqueous humor through the vitreous medium. We replaced the ...
Habilitation
Computing Ground States for Fermi-Bose Mixtures through Efficient Numerical Methods
(2023-05)
In this work, we will first review the Quantum Mechanics theory to derive the main equations. Next, we will analyze these equations by Functional Analysis methods to find conditions for existence, uniqueness, multiplicity, and other properties as positivity. Next, we will review and develop some numerical methods for solving the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, its time version, generalizations with rotational terms, and systems of NLSE (NLSS). We notice that the main problem to run numerical methods is the memory ...

Elimination in Operator Algebras
(2014-08-08)
A large class of special functions are solutions of systems of linear difference and differential equations with polynomial coefficients. For a given function, these equations considered as operator polynomials generate a left ideal in a noncommutative algebra called Ore algebra. This ideal with finitely many conditions characterizes the function uniquely so that Gröbner basis techniques can be applied.
Many problems related to special functions which can be described by such ideals can be solved by performing ...

Ein Algorithmus zur numerischen Verifikation der äquivarianten Tamagawazahlvermutung für eine Familie von Zahlkörpererweiterungen
(2011-04-07)
Sei $N/K$ eine galoissche Zahlkörpererweiterung mit Galoisgruppe $G$, so dass es in $N$ eine Stelle mit voller
Zerlegungsgruppe gibt. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit Algorithmen, die für das gegebene Fallbeispiel $N/K$, die äquivariante Tamagawazahlvermutung
von Burns und Flach für das Paar $(h^0(Spec(N), \mathbb{Z}[G]))$ (numerisch) verifizieren.
Grob gesprochen stellt die äquivariante Tamagawazahlvermutung (im Folgenden ETNC) in diesem Spezialfall einen Zusammenhang her zwischen Werten von
Artinschen ...
