  • Deep comprehension of basic mathematical notions and concepts is a basic condition of a successful teaching. Some elements of algebraic thinking belong to the elementary school mathematics. The question "What stays the same and what changes?" link arithmetic problems with algebraic conception of variable. We have studied beliefs and comprehensions of future elementary school mathematics teachers on early algebra. Pre-service teachers from three academic pedagogical colleges deal with mathematical problems from the pre-algebra point of view, with the emphasis on changes and invariants. The idea is that the intensive use of non-formal algebra may help learners to construct a better understanding of fundamental ideas of arithmetic on the strong basis of algebraic thinking. In this article the study concerning arithmetic series is described. Considerable number of pre-service teachers moved from formulas to deep comprehension of the subject. Additionally, there are indications of ability to apply the conception of change and invariance in other mathematical and didactical contexts.

  • The residue number system offers the possibility of high-speed operation and error detection/correction because of the separability of arithmetic operations on each digit. A compact residue arithmetic module named the self-checking pulse-train residue arithmetic circuit is effectively employed as the basic module, and an efficient error detection/correction algorithm in which error detection is performed in each basic module and error correction is performed based on the parallelism of residue arithmetic is also employed. In this case, the error correcting circuit is imposed in series to non-redundant system. This design method has an advantage of compact hardware. Following the proposed method, a 2nd-order recursive fault-tolerant digital filter is practically implemented, and its fault-tolerant ability is proved by noise injection testing.

  • This paper proposes efficient log and exponent calculation methods using a dual phase instruction set without additional ALU unit for a mobile enviroment. Using the Dual Phase Instruction set, it extracts exponent and mantissa from expression of floating point and calculates 24bit single precision floating point of log approximation using the Taylor series expansion algorithm. And with dual phase instruction set, it reduces instruction excution cycles. The proposed Dual Phase architecture reduces the performance degradation and maintain smaller size.

  • In [3] and [2], Atanassov introduced the two arithmetic functions $$I(n)=\prod_{p^{\alpha}{\parallel}n}\;p^{1/{\alpha}}\;and\;R(n)=\prod_{p^{\alpha}{\parallel}n}\;p^{{\alpha}-1}$$ called the irrational factor and the restrictive factor, respectively. Alkan, Ledoan, Panaitopol, and the authors explore properties of these arithmetic functions in [1], [7], [8] and [9]. In the present paper, we generalize these functions to a larger class of elements of $PSL_2(\mathbb{Z})$, and explore some of the properties of these maps.
