Quantitative literacy---the use of mathematics to describe and understand the world---is an
essential skill. Physics has an opportunity to contribute to how students develop quantitative …

Calculus and mechanics are closely connected disciplines. However, students are not
always able to establish links between them or use knowledge from one to solve problems …

Problem-solving is one of the abilities students must master when learning physics.
Teachers must try to find solutions to improve their students' problem-solving abilities. This …

This chapter describes a case study of the role of mathematics in physics textbooks and in
associated teacher-led lessons. The theoretical framework (Hansson L, Hansson Ö, Juter K …

Research on problem-solving strategies has been conducted since the 1940s. Experts and
novices use different strategies in problem solving; the main difference is in the familiarity …
