In the last three decades, there has been a growing interest on how teachers utilise the specialised knowledge for mathematical knowledge in classroom instruction. This study was an inquiry focusing on mathematical knowledge for teaching quadratic equations. The study was a qualitative and sought...

This was after a base line study conducted at National In-Service Teachers College (NISTCOL) in 2014 by the...
In this thesis we study some of the properties of homogeneous spaces. We are more interested in homogeneous spaces which are also manifolds. We have shown that homogeneous spaces are basically quotient spaces. Working with quotient spaces, we pushed to symplectic quotient, the...
