Catastrophizing is fixating on the worst possible outcome of a situation, even if unlikely. The author shares personal experiences with catastrophizing, particularly regarding a recent health ...

Abstract: Learning-based methods have been widely applied to solve electromagnetic (EM) inverse scattering problems (ISPs). In learning-based induced current inversions, the deterministic part of the ...

Much of mathematics involves so-called forward problems. These problems begin with a model of a physical system — say, a ball rolling down an incline plane — and researchers use parameters, such as ...

Do you sense something problematic about the word “problematic”? The way it’s used has changed a great deal in recent years, so much that it can now seem a little shifty. The journey that brought us ...

Word problems try and tell students a story about the math problem in front of them. They are a useful way to connect abstract numbers to concrete situations, so students can learn early on to apply ...

Practical word problems are often considered one of the most complex parts of elementary school mathematics. They require students to understand the context of a math problem, identify what the ...
