When we teach mathematics in college, we find a lot of mistakes, fallacies and flaws in the solution of the students. In this paper, we presented a variety of examples of mistakes and fallacies, including wrong proofs, misinterpreted definitions and the mistaken use of theory. The examples, taken from different classes and subjects, are based on our own experience of teaching mathematics. As the previous research argued, such mistakes, fallacies and flaws should be considered as natural phenomena in the students' progress and should be analyzed systematically for the more effective education. By providing a wide-ranging examples of mistakes and fallacies, and detailed analyses of them, we emphasized the significance of the analysis of mistakes and fallacies and proposed that more careful attention should be paid on the collection and development of teaching materials in the area of mistake and fallacy analysis. We hope that this study would be a meaningful contribution to the teaching of mathematics in college.

This article describes a research project that examined the impact of hand-held technology on students' understanding linear equations and graphs in multiple representations. The results indicated that students in the graphing-approach classes were significantly better at the components of interpreting. No significant differences between the graphing-approach and traditional classes were found fur translation, modeling, and algebraic skills. Further, students in the graphing-approach classes showed significant improvements in their attitudes toward mathematics and technology, were less anxious about mathematics, and rated their class as more interesting and valuable.

We consider the ordered ${\Gamma}$-semigroups in which $x{\gamma}x(x{\in}M,{\gamma}{\in}{\Gamma})$ are left elements. We show that this $po-{\Gamma}$-semigroup is left regular if and only if M is a union of left simple sub-${\Gamma}$-semigroups of M.

A demi-closed theorem and some new weak convergence theorems of iterative sequences for asymptotically nonexpansive and nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces are obtained. The results presented in this paper improve and extend the corresponding results of [1],[8]-[10],[12],[13],[15],[16], and [18].

In this paper, we introduce an $L_p$ analytic Fourier-Feynman transformation, show the existence of the $L_p$ analytic Fourier-Feynman transforms for a certain class of cylinder functionals on an abstract Wiener space, and investigate its interesting properties. Moreover, we define a convolution product for two functionals on the abstract Wiener space and establish the relationships between the Fourier-Feynman transform for the convolution product of two cylinder functionals and the Fourier-Feynman transform for each functional.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of lower semi-continuous from above functions and show that many well-known results, such as Ekland's and Caristi's theorems, remain also true under lower semi-continuous from above functions.

In this paper, we first introduce some iterative sequences of Halpern type for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings and nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces and then we discuss strong convergence for the iterative processes. The results presented in this paper extend, supplement and improve the correspoding main results of Reich [11], Shimizu and Takahashi [13], Shioji and Takahashi [15], [16] and Wittmann [18].

We introduce the concepts of weakly prime and weakly semi-prime ideals in po-${\Gamma}$-semigroup and give some characterizations of weakly prime and weakly semi-prime ideals of po-${\Gamma}$-semigroups analogous to the characterizations of weakly prime and weakly semi-prime ideals of po-semigroups considered by N. Kehayopulu.
