The study investigated the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning of primary Mathematics in selected schools of Pemba District, Southern Province. Guided by the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, the study aimed to...

This study aims to obtain a lower bound on the eigenvalue of the smallest modulus in a general weighted regular Sturm-Liouville problem with mixed boundary conditions. The problem is expressed as -u′′(x) + q(x)u(x) = λr(x)u(x) over the interval [a,b] with u′(a) = u(b) = 0. In 1988 Mingarelli [31]...
