Enhancing students interest in mathematics via multimedia presentation

Alarming statistics in mathematics education in Nigeria indicated that very few or almost none of the students in high school fancy taking up a course in mathematics in the University. Moreover, less than ten percent of these students enjoyed lessons in mathematics. Additionally, cultural and racial prejudice as well as poverty are serious issues confronting many of today's high school students, thus a set of thirty...

A mobile-based knowledge management system for “Ifa”: An African traditional oracle

Recently, the use of mobile applications in knowledge management systems has been a major discussion in some literatures. In the past, the author’s conceptualized and designs a knowledge management system for “Ifa”. In this paper, a mobile application is designed which applies mobile knowledge management (mKM) to the “ifa” oracle consultation process...

Visualization RCD (reinforced concrete design) table advisor for decision support activity

Reinforced concrete design (RCD) activity requires the services of design table to pick bar sizes and area of specific bar groups. This allow reinforced concrete (RC) designers to use their intuition to pick the right bar size for detailing of RC Structures which virtually enhance reliable and satisfactory answers to RCD problems. With the advent of computer with its powerful memory, most RCD software available...

Norm properties of operators whose norms are Eigenvalues

In this paper we present properties of a norm-attaining operator on a Hilbert space and there implications. We show that if T has norm attaining vector then    where   the  scalars  are  nonnegative  numbers.  Thus   T    satisfies a generalized Daugavet condition.   Key words: Numerical range, eigenvalue, normalloid...
