 Substitutions in differential equations as a geometry of their symmetries 1$-$14 Jelena Katić University of Belgrade, Faculty of Mathematics, Studentski trg 16, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia

Abstract

We enlighten a geometrical background for familiar substitutions in certain ordinary differential equations. We explain how the existence of a symmetry of a differential equation provides a change of coordinates (i.e., a substitution) in which the initial equation becomes in quadrature form.

Keywords: Ordinary differential equation; symmetries; substitution.

 Relating procedural and conceptual knowledge 15$-$28 Djordje M. Kadijevich Institute for Educational Research, Dobrinjska 11/III, 11000 Belgrade, P.O.B. 546, Serbia

Abstract

Relating procedural and conceptual mathematical knowledge is a very important educational goal that is difficult to attain. However, research has evidenced that some progress towards achieving this goal can be made. This contribution briefly reviews some of the main outcomes of research in this area, focusing on relating these knowledge types with technology, particularly that based upon a computer algebra system.

Keywords: Conceptual knowledge; procedural knowledge; technology.

 Hybridization of classical inequalities with equivalent dynamic inequalities on time scale calculus 38$-$52 Muhammad Jibril Shahab Sahir Department of Mathematics, University of Sargodha, Sub-Campus Bhakkar, Pakistan and GHSS, 67/ML, Bhakkar, Pakistan

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present some classical inequalities and to form their symmetric dynamic versions on time scale calculus. We also present that their symmetric dynamic versions on time scales are equivalent.

Keywords: Bernoulli's inequality; Radon's inequality; Rogers-Höl\-der's inequality; Schlömilch's inequality; the weighted power mean inequality; time scales
