In this dissertation we obtain quasi-deformations of the special linear Lie algebra of degree 2 over a eld F, abbreviated sl2(F). We take F to be a eld of characteristic zero. Our approach involves obtaining and deforming a linear operator representation of sl2(F) using-twisted derivations (with...

Mathematics is considered to be one of the most important school subjects in the curriculum worldwide. However, the pass rate for mathematics in Zambian secondary schools is very low. Reports have indicated that some of the challenges faced by candidates in mathematics could be attributed to...

Despite global aspirations towards a 21st Century Skills learning agenda, Zambia's efforts to effectively integrate these skills into classroom settings have shown limited advancement. This discrepancy highlights the challenge of translating theoretical aspirations into tangible educational...

The study was inspired by the necessity to advance professional learning for primary school teachers that might support them to proficiently teach the mathematics topic of number bases. This was after a base line study conducted at National In-Service Teachers College (NISTCOL) in 2014 by the...

In Zambia it has generally accepted that good performance in mathematics has become a prerequisite for one entry into tertiary education regardless of one’s sex. In a bid to find themselves places in colleges and universities, many more girls are victim of rejection because of poor grades in...

The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of pupil-teacher ratio on the quality of teaching and learning process of mathematics in selected public secondary schools of Lusaka district. Four specific research objectives which guided the study were; to determine the proportion of pupils in...

The study investigated poor learner performance in mathematics at grade 12 level at Secondary School A. The study adopts a Mixed Method Approach by employing the Convergent Parallel Design. The target population comprised all stakeholders in the provision of secondary education including...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the administration and management of school based assessment in the teaching and learning of mathematics at Kambule Technical Secondary School, Mongu district. The study looked at school based assessment on international and local. This was narrowed to...

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...

In this thesis, we recall three types of convexities in metric spaces, namely; Menger convexity, Takahashi convexity andM-convexity. We then generalise these convexities to the framework of T0-quasi-metric spaces. Since the concept of convexities heavily relies on the concept of betweenness, a...
