In her short life, mathematician Emmy Noether changed the face of physics

Noether linked two important concepts in physics: conservation laws and symmetries. She resolved a nagging puzzle in Albert Einstein’s newfound theory of gravity, the general theory of relativity. And in the process, she proved a revolutionary mathematical theorem that changed the way physicists study the universe. Läs mer [ScienceNews]

Fields Medals 2022

The Fields Medal is awarded to recognize outstanding mathematical achievement for existing work and for the promise of future achievement. The medals and cash prizes are funded by a trust established by J.C.Fields at the University of Toronto, which has been replenished periodically, but is still significantly underfunded. In 2022, the prize funds from the

Nordisk forskning: Så blev effekterna av undervisning på distans

Undervisningen höll lägre kvalitet och de studiemässigt svagare eleverna förlorade mest på distansundervisningen under Coronapandemin. En konsekvens kan bli lägre framtida inkomster, konstateras i en ny rapport. Utifrån en genomgång av olika studier diskuterar forskare vid IFAU i rapporten ”Covid-19 och distansundervisning i Norden” hur elever i Norden påverkats av distans- och fjärrundervisningen. Diskussionsunderlaget bygger

Artikel: Proactive cognitive control, mathematical cognition and functional activity in the frontal and parietal cortex in primary school children: An fNIRS study

Understanding how children acquire mathematical abilities is fundamental to planning mathematical schooling. This study focuses on the relationships between mathematical cognition, cognition in general and neural foundation in 8 to 9-year-old children. We used additive mathematics tests, cognitive tests determining the tendency for proactive and reactive problem solving and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) for functional

Artikel: Variables in early algebra: exploring didactic potentials in programming activities

In this paper we consider implications of the current worldwide inclusion of computational thinking in relation to children’s development of algebraic thinking. Little is known about how newly developed visual programming environments such as Scratch could enhance early algebra learning. Authors: Cecilia Kilhamn, Kajsa Bråting, Ola Helenius, J.
