A mathematical model is proposed to simulate the eating disorders of bulimia or anorexia. Earlier models are extended to incorporate the body mass index, which plays a key role in the eating attitude of self thinners. The global existence and ultimate boundedness of solutions of the nonlocal model are proved by using estimates of solutions. The basic reproduction number of eating disorder contagion is shown to be the invasion threshold. The testable linear and nonlinear stability conditions are established by Lyapunov functions. Further numerical simulations are given to reveal how self-forces and peer pressures to be thinner affect the emergence and distributions of eating disorders. 相似文献

The use of writing as a pedagogical tool to help students learn mathematics is receiving increased attention at the college level ( Meier & Rishel, 1998 ), and the Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM, 2000) built a strong case for including writing in school mathematics, suggesting that writing enhances students' mathematical thinking. Yet, classroom experience indicates that not all students are able to write well about mathematics. This study examines the writing of a two groups of students in a college‐level calculus class in order to identify criteria that discriminate “;successful” vs. “;unsuccessful” writers in mathematics. Results indicate that “;successful” writers are more likely than “;unsuccessful” writers to use appropriate mathematical language, build a context for their writing, use a variety of examples for elaboration, include multiple modes of representation (algebraic, graphical, numeric) for their ideas, use appropriate mathematical notation, and address all topics specified in the assignment. These six criteria result in The Mathematics Writer's Checklist, and methods for its use as an instructional and assessment tool in the mathematics classroom are discussed. 相似文献

There exists a regular Toeplitz sequence over a finite alphabet, such that its orbit-closure in the shift system is not topologically
coalescent. The notion of a Toeplitz array is introduced.

In Study 1, 48 judges rated the clarity of Chinese, English, and "Chinglish" (Chinese words translated into English) mathematical words-for example, the Chinglish version of the Chinese word for quadrilateral is "four-side-shape." Native Chinese-speaking judges achieve greater agreement on the relative clarity of Chinese words than do native English-speaking judges on the relative clarity of English words. More Chinese words are rated clear than are English. Chinglish mathematical words tend to be rated more clear than English. The inherent compound word structure of the Chinese language seems well suited to portray mathematical ideas. In Study 2, we examined the relations among the clarity of Chinese mathematical terms, U.S. urban junior high school students' Chinese reading ability, and their mathematics performance. There is a strong correlation between Chinese reading ability and performance on test items with mathematics words rated clear by Chinese judges. The relative clarity of mathematical terms in the Chinese language may contribute to Chinese-speaking students' understanding of mathematics and to superior mathematics performance. 相似文献
