A Relationship Between Problem Solving Ability and Students' Mathematical Thinking

This research have a purpose to know is there an influence of problem solving abilty to students mathematical thinking, and to know how strong problem solving ability affect students mathematical thinking. This research used descriptive quantitative method, which a population is all of students that taking discrete mathematics courses both in department of Information Systems and department of mathematics education. Based on the results of data analysis showed that there are an influence of problem solving ability to students mathematical thinking either at department of mathematics education or at department of information systems. In this study, it was found that the influence of problem solving ability to students mathematical thinking which take place at mathematics education department is stonger than at information system department. This is because, at mathematics education department, problem-solving activities more often performed in courses than at department of information system. Almost 75% of existing courses in department of mathematics education involve problem solving to the objective of courses, meanwhile, in the department of information systems, there are only 10% of these courses. As a result, mathematics education department student's are better trained in problem solving than information system department students. So, to improve students' mathematical thinking, its would be better, at fisrtly enhance the problem solving ability

Swarm robot social potential fields with internal agent dynamics

Swarm robotics is a new and promising approach to the design and control of multiagent robotic systems. In this paper we use a model for a second order non-linear system of self-propelled agents interacting via pair-wise attractive and repulsive potentials. We propose a new potential field method using dynamic agent internal states to successfully solve a reactive path-planning problem. The path planning problem cannot be solved using static potential fields due to local minima formation, but can be solved by allowing the agent internal states to manipulate the potential field. Simulation results demonstrate the ability of a single agent to perform reactive problem solving effectively, as well as the ability of a swarm of agents to perform problem solving using the collective behaviour of the entire swarm

Advances towards a General-Purpose Societal-Scale Human-Collective Problem-Solving Engine

Human collective intelligence has proved itself as an important factor in a society's ability to accomplish large-scale behavioral feats. As societies have grown in population-size, individuals have seen a decrease in their ability to activeily participate in the problem-solving processes of the group. Representative decision-making structures have been used as a modern solution to society's inadequate information-processing infrastructure. With computer and network technologies being further embedded within the fabric of society, the implementation of a general-purpose societal-scale human-collective problem-solving engine is envisioned as a means of furthering the collective-intelligence potential of society. This paper provides both a novel framework for creating collective intelligence systems and a method for implementing a representative and expertise system based on social-network theory.Comment: Collective Problem Solving Theory and Social-Network algorith

However, the subject has used the ability to think fast, clear and precise calculations in problem solving has been good

A memetic algorithm for the university course timetabling problem

This article is posted here with permission from IEEE - Copyright @ 2008 IEEEThe design of course timetables for academic institutions is a very hectic job due to the exponential number of possible feasible timetables with respect to the problem size. This process involves lots of constraints that must be respected and a huge search space to be explored, even if the size of the problem input is not significantly large. On the other hand, the problem itself does not have a widely approved definition, since different institutions face different variations of the problem. This paper presents a memetic algorithm that integrates two local search methods into the genetic algorithm for solving the university course timetabling problem (UCTP). These two local search methods use their exploitive search ability to improve the explorative search ability of genetic algorithms. The experimental results indicate that the proposed memetic algorithm is efficient for solving the UCTP
