A Volume in Cognition, Equity & Society: International Perspectivesformally known as International Perspectives on Mathematics Education- Cognition, Equity & SocietySeries Editor Bharath Sriraman, The University of Montanaand Lyn English, Queensland University of TechnologyThe diversity of research in mathematics education has been addressed as both, a problem and a strength.When manifested through adherence to different intellectual roots and theoretical orientations, diversions constitute’refractions’ of mathematics education. The collection and analysis of empirical data in a study are bynecessity refracted through the specific analytical lens employed, as well as the aim of the study itself. Refractionscan also refer to looking at old phenomena through new lenses.The chapters in this book are refracted through philosophical, political, mathematical and personal lenses bydistinguished authors in the field, addressing issues about the elusive experience of doing mathematics, purification of texts, refractions, mathematicsand ethnomathematics, political messages in textbook tasks, mathematics education policy debate, the political in mathematics education research,philosophy and mathematics, meanings and representations, identity of mathematical modeling, and dilemmas in the teaching of calculus.An ancient Sanskrit adage states that Knowledge is something that grows when shared, but shrinks when hoarded. Academics engaged in the generationof new Knowledge are blessed with both the time and the freedom to engage in pursuits that allow for intellectual pleasure. As a phenomenon ofthe Zeitgeist many have succumbed to the increased corporatization of academic work, engaging in activities for monetary and self advancement purposes.Are there any real intellectuals left in academia, a là Adorno, Bourdieu, Chomsky, Foucault, among others? This Festschrift is dedicated to academicsthat don’t bother with self promotion or aggrandizement of themselves or their ideas in simplistic terms.

    Historically, the notion of entropy emerged in conceptually very distinct contexts. This book deals with the connection between entropy, probability, and fractional dynamics as they appeared, for example, in solar neutrino astrophysics since the 1970's (Mathai and Rathie 1975, Mathai and Pederzoli 1977, Mathai and Saxena 1978, Mathai, Saxena, and Haubold 2010).The original ...

     The book first explains the main properties of analytic functions in order to use them in the study of various problems in p-adic value distribution. Certain properties of p-adic transcendental numbers are examined such as order and type of transcendence, with problems on p-adic exponentials. Lazard's problem for analytic functions inside a disk is explained. P-adic meromo...

    La vida cotidiana está llena de situaciones que exigen tomar decisiones. Y en estos casos comparamos y hacemos estimaciones de probabilidades, a veces casi sin darnos cuenta, especialmente en el momento de decidir. Pero las probabilidades no son números simples asociados objetiva o subjetivamente a los eventos, como nos podría parecer, y el cálculo y el uso que le damos están e...
