In this chapter we review the history of mathematics-based approaches to problem solving. The authors suggest that while the ability of analysts to deal with the extremes of data now available is leading to a new leap in the handling of data analysis, information processing, and control systems, that ability remains grounded in the work of early pioneers of statistical thought. Beginning with pre-history, the paper briefly traces developments in analytical thought to the present day, identifying milestones in this development. The techniques developed in studies of computational intelligence, the applications of which are presented in this volume, form the basis for the next great development in analytical thought.

Do you have students who are computer buffs, always looking for a new problem to program efficiently? Do you have students who do independent study projects? If so, motivate them with this topic that is rich in the history of mathematics and number theory—perfect numbers. They provide an excellent resource for theoretical as well as computerized problem solving.

http://dx.doi.org/10.5902/2179460X14661This article intends to address in an elementary way the study of harmonic progressions. To this end, the usage of history of mathematics and problem solving strategies permeated the text. Several problems, some classics and other extracted from mathematical olympiads, were treated to show the wide applicability of this subject. In the end, the triangle of Leibniz and his relationship with the harmonic progressions is studied.

Mathematics has been used by generations to make important decisions for a long period of time. History is littered with problem solving events which are results of mathematization of tasks based on available tools in any given generation. While History of mathematics focuses on what each culture contributed to present day conventional mathematics as taught in schools as a subject, Mathematics in a Historic environment focuses on identifying mathematical thinking that exists in all historical events. Historical events when enacted through the Time Travel approach learners get the opportunity to relive past events in the present context. Teaching mathematics in historic environment uses the time travel events that are practised by bridging ages international, to provide a reflective meaningful conceptualization of mathematics is a living subject. The strategy illuminates the centrality of mathematical thinking in all historical events. This paper shares findings from a study carried out on the effectiveness of this approach for teaching mathematics and provides an opportunity to discuss the approach as a viable pedagogic strategy that can be replicated across the curriculum.

Little is known about the long-term consequences of migraine for cognitive functioning. This study compared older migraine patients with matched controls on four measures of cognitive ability, in a blinded design. Migraine patients and case-matched controls were recruited from the database records of a pre-existing study of ageing. Data were available from four tests of cognitive ability: verbal/arithmetic problem solving, spatial problem solving, processing speed, and vocabulary. There were no significant differences between the mean scores of migraine and control groups on any of the four cognitive tests. In addition, there were no significant differences between migraine and control groups in the effect of age on any of the four tests. A long history of migraine does not compromise scores on the four cognitive tests used in this study. These tests are predictive of memory and executive functioning in cognitive ageing, but it remains possible that lower-level cognitive processes, particularly as assessed by visual tasks, may be vulnerable to migraine.

This study aims to find out "the effectiveness of guided discovery models by using super-task tasks on the development of students' mathematical problem solving abilities". This research is designed by using posttest only control which the research subject is first year students of 2018/2019 academic year. This research uses saturated sampling technique because all members of the population are used as samples. Data collection techniques in this study only use test instruments. Data analysis technique was done by using t-test. The results of the data analysis obtained that hypothesis testing in the experimental and control class obtained t calculation  = 3.41 with t table = 1.67. Because t calculation > t table then H0 is rejected so that it can be concluded that the guided discovery learning model by using superchemical tasks is more effective than the direct learning model on mathematical problem-solving abilities of first-level students in school mathematics II even semester at IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro.   Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui “efektivitas  model penemuan terbimbing dengan menggunakan tugas superitem terhadap pengembangan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika mahasiswa”. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian dengan desain yang digunakan adalah posttest only control  dimana subyek penelitiannya adalah mahasiswa tingkat I tahun ajaran 2018/2019. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik sampling jenuh karena semua anggota populasi dijadikan sebagai sampel. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini hanya menggunakan instrument tes. Teknik analisis data menggunakan uji–t. Hasil dari analisis data diperoleh uji hipotesis pada kelas eksperimen dan kontrol diperoleh thitung= 3,41 dengan ttabel = 1,67. Karena   thitung > ttabel maka H0 ditolak sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa model pembelajaran penemuan terbimbing dengan menggunakan tugas superitem lebih efektif  dibandingkan dengan model pembelajaran langsung terhadap kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika mahasiswa tingkat I pada mata kuliah matematika sekolah II semester genap di IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro.

This study aims to determine the effect of Thinking Aloud Pair Problem Solving (TAPPS) learning model on mathematical problem solving abilities in the form of algebra material. This type of research is a quasi experiment with the posttest only design with a nonequivalent group. The population in this study were 7th grade students of SMPN 1 Mataram in the academic year of 2019/2020. Sample determination using purposive sampling technique, where the sample of this study is students of class VII-I as an experimental class and students of class VII-H as a control class. In the experimental class applied the TAPPS learning model and control class applied the direct learning model. The instrument used in this study was a test of mathematical problem-solving abilities (posttest) on algebra form material. Quantitative data analysis was performed using t-test. The results of the data analysis showed that there are significant differences in students' mathematical problem solving abilities between the classes that get the TAPPS learning and direct learning. This suggests that learning with the Thinking Aloud Pair Problem Solving (TAPPS) model affects the ability to solve mathematical problems in the form of algebra material.
