A Course in Modern Analysis and Its Applications

Designed for one-semester courses for senior undergraduates, this book approaches topics initially through convergence of sequences in metric space. However, the alternative topological approach is also described. Applications are included from differential and integral equations, systems of linear algebraic equations, approximation theory, numerical analysis and quantum mechanics.

Public Policy for Women

The State, Income Security, and Labour Market Issues

Containing essays from leading feminist academics, and social activists, Public Policy for Women addresses important public policy issues that fail to address women's needs. The volume's contributors pay particular attention to the relationship between the welfare state and vulnerable populations of women, while making substantial contributions to current public policy debates in Canada. Focusing on discussions of controversial issues such as single working mothers, prostitution, mandatory retirement, guaranteed income, and work for welfare, these essays also consider the political and economic constraints that have been brought about by neo-liberal policy changes. Full of relevant policy critiques and original recommendations for improvement, Public Policy for Women readdresses often neglected subjects and concerns and makes informative appeals for public policy to address women's needs.

Applied Multiple Regression/Correlation Analysis for the Behavioral Sciences

This classic text on multiple regression is noted for its nonmathematical, applied, and data-analytic approach. Readers profit from its verbal-conceptual exposition and frequent use of examples. The applied emphasis provides clear illustrations of the principles and provides worked examples of the types of applications that are possible. Researchers learn how to specify regression models that directly address their research questions. An overview of the fundamental ideas of multiple regression and a review of bivariate correlation and regression and other elementary statistical concepts provide a strong foundation for understanding the rest of the text. The third edition features an increased emphasis on graphics and the use of confidence intervals and effect size measures, and an accompanying CD with data for most of the numerical examples along with the computer code for SPSS, SAS, and SYSTAT. Applied Multiple Regression serves as both a textbook for graduate students and as a reference tool for researchers in psychology, education, health sciences, communications, business, sociology, political science, anthropology, and economics. An introductory knowledge of statistics is required. Self-standing chapters minimize the need for researchers to refer to previous chapters.

In this example, as may be judged from its mean and sd (Table 8.5.1), it would
signify a very low (possibly the lowest possible) level of motivation, so these
contrasts imply significantly higher performance for the control group than the
average of the experimental groups when motivation is very low. In summary, the
analysis indicates markedly different (linear) relationships between level of
motivation and performance as a function of instructions. The two experimental
groups show ...

Consider as an example how ability (X) and motivation (Z) impact achievement in
graduate school (Y). One possibility is that their effects are additive. The
combined impact of ability and motivation on achievement equals the sum of their
separate effects; there is no interaction between X and Z. We might say that the
whole equals the sum of the parts. A second alternative is that ability and
motivation may interact synergistically, such that graduate students with both high
ability and high ...

The Oxford Handbook of Numerical Cognition

How do we understand numbers? Do animals and babies have numerical abilities? Why do some people fail to grasp numbers, and how we can improve numerical understanding? Numbers are vital to so many areas of life: in science, economics, sports, education, and many aspects of everyday life from infancy onwards. Numerical cognition is a vibrant area that brings together scientists from different and diverse research areas (e.g., neuropsychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, comparative psychology, anthropology, education, and neuroscience) using different methodological approaches (e.g., behavioral studies of healthy children and adults and of patients; electrophysiology and brain imaging studies in humans; single-cell neurophysiology in non-human primates, habituation studies in human infants and animals, and computer modeling). While the study of numerical cognition had been relatively neglected for a long time, during the last decade there has been an explosion of studies and new findings. This has resulted in an enormous advance in our understanding of the neural and cognitive mechanisms of numerical cognition. In addition, there has recently been increasing interest and concern about pupils' mathematical achievement in many countries, resulting in attempts to use research to guide mathematics instruction in schools, and to develop interventions for children with mathematical difficulties. This handbook brings together the different research areas that make up the field of numerical cognition in one comprehensive and authoritative volume. The chapters provide a broad and extensive review that is written in an accessible form for scholars and students, as well as educationalists, clinicians, and policy makers. The book covers the most important aspects of research on numerical cognition from the areas of development psychology, cognitive psychology, neuropsychology and rehabilitation, learning disabilities, human and animal cognition and neuroscience, computational modeling, education and individual differences, and philosophy. Containing more than 60 chapters by leading specialists in their fields, the Oxford Handbook of Numerical Cognition is a state-of-the-art review of the current literature.

Competence and Competence Development

What are today's main concepts and theories - and the main stakes - associated with the issue of competences in organizations? In this study, various topics are discussed, including: changes in work and competences * professionalization and the development of competences in education and training * the role of professional didactics in skills development for training and education professionals * competence evaluation processes in adult education * competence management and adult education * changes in vocational training and new models of competences for individuals.
