In this paper we describe values in mathematics education in the Netherlands, in a context where both government and teachers are merely focused on test results. At the same time, newly proposed core goals emphasise mathematics education’s socializing function. These new core goals also focus on mathematical …

This research advances the theoretical foundation by presenting a practical and comprehensive design approach for Connected and Autonomous Transport (CAT) systems. Using a morphological chart, this paper decomposes the complex elements of CAT systems into sub-functions, each offering multiple feasible …

In this paper, we focus on how the qualitative vocabulary of Dynalearn, which is used for describing dynamic systems, corresponds to the mathematical equations used in quantitative modeling. Then, we demonstrate the translation of a qualitative model into a quantitative model, using the example of an …

The ‘Dancing with Mathematics’ workshop includes a variety of hands-on educational activities that combine these two seemingly incompatible disciplines through motion-capture technologies. A heterogeneous group of researchers with diverse academic backgrounds and expertise, that collaborate in the HORIZON-WIDERA …

This master’s thesis focuses on the implementation of a customized advanced controller for a gantry robot. Using mathematical models and numerical simulations, a Model Reference Adaptive Controller (MRAC) was selected. The controller was implemented on a Beckhoff-oriented system and validated on a physical …

The energy transition from fossil fuels to sustainable alternatives makes the design of future-proof ships even more important. In the design phase of a ship, it is uncertain how many and which fuels it will use in the future due to many external factors. In fact, a ship typically sails for decades, …

''New technologies are advancing at an unprecedentedly accelerating pace over the years. The distance humanity has covered in 2200 years, from the Antikythera mechanism of ancient Greek world, the oldest known analogue computer, to the 4-bit first microprocessor in 1971, is not even comparable to the …

Steeds meer leerlingen groeien op met een andere taal dan het Nederlands. Zij krijgen onderwijs in een taal die niet hun eerste taal is. Op het gebied van toetsing brengt deze situatie uitdagingen met zich mee. Meertalige leerlingen kunnen, bijvoorbeeld in het rekenonderwijs, niet hun volledige potentieel …

The aim of this constructive study was to develop model-based principles to provide guidance to managers and policy makers when making decisions about team size and composition in the context of home healthcare. Six model-based principles were developed based on extensive data analysis and in close interaction …

This paper proposes a novel theory, coined as Topological Tail Dependence Theory, that links the mathematical theory behind Persistent Homology (PH) and the financial stock market theory. This study also proposes a novel algorithm to measure topological stock market changes as well as the incorporation …
