Blending of mathematics and physics: undergraduate students' reasoning in the context of the heat equation Open
The role of mathematics in physics is multifaceted. Moreover, mathematics has not only been essential to the development of physics, but conversely, many mathematical concepts arose from a desire to describe nature. The intertwining of mat…

Undergraduate students' difficulties with boundary conditions for the diffusion equation Open
Combining mathematical and physical understanding in reasoning is difficult, and a growing body of research shows that students experience problems with the combination of physics and mathematics in reasoning beyond the introductory level.…

Dynamic conceptual blending analysis to model student reasoning processes while integrating mathematics and physics: A case study in the context of the heat equation Open
In recent years, there has been an increased interest in conceptual blending in physics and mathematics education research as a theoretical framework to study student reasoning. In this paper, we adapt the conceptual blending framework to …

Translating between graphs and equations: The influence of context, direction of translation, and function type Open
We report on a study investigating the influence of context, direction of translation, and function type on undergraduate students’ ability to translate between graphical and symbolic representations of mathematical relations. Students fro…
