Harḑwārī Publications, Prayāgrāj (Indiā), 2013

Honourable Chancellor Dr. Vinod Tibrewala, the Chief Executive Officer, other officers of the University, guests and members of the audience ! The topic under caption is self contradictory as the scientific subjects are not defined to have frontiers based on any regional considerations. The domain of Mathematics is universal and so is the case with the remaining title. However, the main focus of my presentation is based on the following points: 1. Need for standard curricula in all three levels of education: Primary, Secondary and Tertiary. 2. Need for competent teachers: Not only at tertiary level but also in primary and secondary levels. This is paramount for the development of analytical brain – a key to the development of human resources – which any nation shall feel proud of. --------

Evolution of the informatization notion (which assumes automa- tion of majority of human activities applying computers, computer networks, information technologies) towards the notion of Global Infor- mation Society (GIS) challenges the determination of new paradigms of society: automation and intellectualization of production, new level of education and teaching, formation of new styles of work, active par- ticipation in decision making, etc. To assure transition to GIS for any society, including that from Re- public of Moldova, requires both special training and broad application of progressive technologies and information systems. Methodological aspects concerning impact of GIS creation over the citizen, economic unit, national economy in the aggregate demands a profound study. Without systematic approach to these aspects the GIS creation would have confront great diculties. Collective of researchers from the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science (IMCS) of Academy of Scie...

Abstract This research study considers how prior knowledge of mathematics affects students’ performance on computer science programmes in Ethiopian higher education institutions. Thus, this research study investigates the extent to which a student’s final mathematics results in the national examinations Ethiopian Higher Education Entrance Certificate Examination (EHEECE) can be used to predict the level of the student’s performance in their undergraduate computer science studies, or whether other factors also play an important role. The research focuses on those students enrolled on computer science courses in two universities/colleges in Addis Ababa. It sets out to identify how performance in mathematics at high school and college level relates to the students’ average results for core courses on the universities/colleges computer science programmes. In order to show this, the research employs both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods and analysis. Qualitative data was collected through unstructured oral interviews and quantitative data through statistical analysis of students’ examination results. The research also contains a literature review in order to compare and contrast the findings of this study with the findings of other researchers in the field and to gain knowledge about what is going on in the research field in different geographical territories. The findings of this investigation show that mathematical ability in supporting academic achievement in college computer science programmes has a role. However, the dissertation shows that predicting performance based on students’ mathematics results in the national examinations taken in order to enter higher education is unreliable due to the unreliability of the examination results themselves. The findings will also show the importance of other factors and will identify in particular the importance of interest and motivation for the subject, and how this is currently underused in allocating places on computer science courses in Ethiopia.

Mathematics is the abstract science of number, quantity, and space, either as abstract concepts (pure mathematics), or as applied to other disciplines such as physics and engineering (applied mathematics). Computing, finance, business, etc., should be included in this definition, in fact I think sciences and commercial should be the key definition. So in my definition I would say mathematics as an easy theoretical or conceptual science of digits, quantity, and space, either as abstract (pure mathematics), or as applied (applied mathematics) to other disciplines such as physics, engineering, computing, geography, etc., (sciences) and business administration, auditing, finance, (commercial). Mathematics may be defined as " the study of relationships among quantities, magnitudes and properties, and also of the logical operations by which unknown quantities, magnitudes, and properties may be deduced " (Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia), Historically, it was regarded as the science of quantity, whether of magnitudes (as in geometry) or of numbers (as in arithmetic) or of the generalization of these two fields (as in algebra). Some have seen it in terms as simple as a search for patterns (algorithm). We would consider mathematics its significance, benefits and deficiencies in computing sciences and engineering in Nigeria.

New technologies are evolving in the various fields such as communication, medical science, astronomy, engineering, architecture, agriculture, defense etc. It is the need of time to keep ourselves updated with the fast growing modern technologies. To develop a technology, the understanding of computational mathematics is very important. The synergy between computer science and mathematics lead to increase in interest in computational mathematics, a field that many consider to be the intersection between computer science and mathematics. Both have influenced the other and led to much advancement in the field of digital marketing. The purpose of this study is to review the changes that computers have on mathematics itself and on the application of mathematics in the development of technology. The study aims at analyzing different applications of computers in education in general, and mathematics education in particular and their applications on technology. There are three broad categories of the applications of computers in the field of mathematics education: computer assisted instruction (CAI), student (educational) programming and general purpose educational tools such as spreadsheets, databases and computer algebra systems (CAS). The application of mathematic in computer science includes the field such as asymptotics,

Tο βιβλίο αυτό φιλοδοξεί να αναπληρώσει το κενό που παρουσιάζεται στην ελληνική βιβλιογραφία, σχετικά με τους τομείς της Οργανωσιακής Ψυχολογίας, της Διοίκησης Ανθρώπινου Δυναμικού και της Κοινωνιολογικής Θεωρίας για την Εργασία. Αποτελεί σύζευξη των τριών αυτών επιστημών υπό το πρίσμα της θεωρίας των συστημάτων, της επιχειρησιακής κουλτούρας, της ολικής ποιότητας, της εργασιακής ικανοποίησης και αξιολόγησης, της ανάλυσης περιεχομένου των διαφημίσεων και της ανεργίας των ευαίσθητων κοινωνικά ομάδων. Τα θέματα αυτά δεν παρουσιάζονται μόνο θεωρητικά ή ως ανεξάρτητα μεταξύ τους, αλλά ενοποιούνται μέσω μίας διαδεδομένης στο εξωτερικό, αλλά σπάνιας για τα ελληνικά δεδομένα, προσέγγισης: της εφαρμοσμένης εμπειρικής έρευνας και των ψυχομετρικών ή κοινωνικών κλιμάκων με πραγματικά στοιχεία από ελληνικές επιχειρήσεις και από την αγορά εργασίας. Οι κλίμακες που περιλαμβάνονται είναι το πιο χρήσιμο εργαλείο για κάθε υπεύθυνο επιχείρησης ή οργανισμού που επιδιώκει να καινοτομήσει, δίνοντας έμφαση στην ποιότητα μέσα από την πρόοδο του ανθρώπινου δυναμικού που απασχολεί και από την αλληλεπίδραση της μονάδας του με την κοινωνία μέσα στην οποία εξελίσσεται. Κάτω από το πρίσμα των νέων διεθνών οικονομικών εξελίξεων, το βιβλίο προτείνει σύγχρονες επιχειρησιακές τεχνικές που θεωρούν τον ανθρώπινο παράγοντα ως την κινητήρια δύναμη της επιχείρησης και με τον τρόπο αυτό συμβάλλουν σημαντικά στον εντοπισμό βασικών εργασιακών προβλημάτων και στον προσδιορισμό αποτελεσματικής πολιτικής αντιμετώπισής τους. This book aims to fill the gap in the Greek literature on the fields of Organizational Psychology, Human Resource Management and Sociology Theory of work. It combines the three disciplines in the light of systems theory, business culture, total quality, job satisfaction and evaluation, content analysis of advertisements, and unemployment of vulnerable groups. These issues are not approached only theoretically or as independent, but are interconnected and combined through a widespread –though rare in Greece- approach: the applied empirical research and the psychometric or social scales with data taken from Greek enterprises and labour market. The scales included in the book constitute the most useful tool for any enterprise or organization director who pursues innovation, placing at the same time emphasis on the attainment of quality through the advancement of the human potential and the constant interaction of the unit with society. In the light of the new international economic developments, this book proposes modern enterprise techniques that consider the human factor as the driving force of an enterprise and contribute significantly to the identification of core labour problems and to the selection of the appropriate policies to address them effectively.

Wilson, A. I. (2023). ‘Latin, literacy, and the Roman economy’, in A. Mullen (ed.), Transformations of the Roman West: Social Factors in Latinization (Oxford Studies in Ancient Documents). Oxford, 78–98., 2023

This chapter examines economic structures and activities that helped spread the use of Latin, and of literacy, across the Roman West. Latin was spread to the provinces by the movement of people—settlers and colonists; the army; some kinds of mobile craftsmen (principally miners and potters); traders; and slaves—and also by the movement of documents, inscribed objects, and the practice of inscribing things in Latin. Slaves, if they were not brought up speaking Latin, had to learn it to survive. Traders learned it for commercial advantage, in preference to using interpreters. The evidence for professional interpreters is largely limited to military contexts or to the imperial court. Language learning lowered transaction costs when trading across different linguistic spheres—which long-distance trade in the Empire was bound to do. Craftsmen migrating from core provinces towards the periphery in search of economic opportunity brought their Latin with them. These processes occurred alongside, and sometimes independently of, any impetus from the army or the administrative apparatus of the state to use or learn Latin. But the spread of Latin, and literacy, arguably also helped the growth of the Roman economy: the development of a lingua franca lowered transaction costs in all areas of commerce and trade, while a larger-scale and more complex economy functioned better with written records, and with the investment in human capital that even basic education represented.
