“…Many scientists have been studying problems related to teaching Mathematical Modeling in different countries. For instance, Burghes and Huntley (1982) presented the teaching mathematical modeling on reflections and advice while Verschaffel and De Corte (1997) provided approaches in teaching realistic mathematical modeling in the elementary school with teaching experiment on some fifth-grade students. Also, Abrams (2001) discussed the teaching mathematical modeling and provided some skills of representing mathematical modeling.…”

Matrix theory plays a very important role in teaching Mathematics and solving mathematical problems. Studying the theory of matrix can help academics, practitioners, and students solve many problems in Engineering, Econometrics, Finance, Economics, Optimization, Decision Sciences, and many other areas. To review the matrix theory with applications, in this paper we first review the theory of matrix. We then discuss how to build up some mathematical, financial, economic, and statistical models by using matrix theory and discuss the applications by using the theory of matrix in Decision Sciences and other related areas like Mathematics, Economics, Finance, Statistics, and Education with real-life examples.

“…A differential equation is an equation where the unknown is a function, and which takes the form of a relation between this function and its derivatives (Precup, 2018). Many real life problems can be modeled using differential equations (Burghes & Huntley, 1981;Hattaf et al, 2012;Krutikhina et al, 2018). In mathematics, differential equations are important, they use important mathematical concepts like function, derivative, integral, etc (Arslan, 2010a(Arslan, , 2010b.…”

In mathematics, a differential equation uses important mathematical concepts like function, derivative, integral, etc. Geogebra is a dynamic mathematical software uniting geometry, algebra and differential calculus. There are two objectives in this study. The first objective is to examine the impact of the use of Geogebra on the students’ understanding of differential equations. The second objective is to see how the students interact with a Geogebra environment according to their styles of mathematical thinking. The subjects of this research were 35 and 32 students for the experimental and control group, respectively of 12th grade at a government school, west of Morocco, in the academic year 2020-2021. These participants have different mathematical thinking styles (MTS): visual, analytic, and integrated. The results show that teaching differential equations with GeoGebra is more efficient in terms of conceptual knowledge than the conventional method. In procedural knowledge, students in both groups were in similar achievement levels. We can conclude that Geogebra was more beneficial for students with integrated thinking, especially for conceptual knowledge.
