SOLUTION OF THE NON-LINEAR THIRD ORDER PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION OF A STEADY HYDROMAGNETIC FLOW THROUGH A CHANNEL WITH PARALLEL STATIONARY POROUS PLATES
(University of Eldoret, 2018)This thesis deals with the solution of the non-linear third order partial differential equation of a steady hydromagnetic laminar flow of a conducting viscous incompressible fluid through a channel with two parallel ... -
Optimal Kiefer Ordering of Simplex Designs for Third-Degree Mixture Kronecker-Models with three ingredients.
(Mathematical Theory and Modeling, 2019)This paper investigates the Kiefer optimality in the third-degree Kronecker model for mixture experiments. For mixture models on the simplex, a better design is obtained, by matrix majorization that yields a larger ... -
Analysis and Modelling of Extreme Rainfall: A Case Study for Dodoma, Tanzania
(Asian Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2019)The analysis of climate change, climate variability and their extremes has become more important as they clearly affect the human society and ecology. The impact of climate change is reflected by the change of frequency, ... -
Central Limit Theorem and Its Applications in Determining Shoe Sizes of University Students
(Asian Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2019)The Central limit theorem is a very powerful tool in statistical inference and Mathematics in general, since it has numerous applications such as in topology and many other areas. For the case of probability theory, it ... -
Application of Principal Component Analysis to Crime Data, Case Study: Mathare Slums, Nairobi County in Kenya
(AmericanJournalofTheoreticalandAppliedStatistics, 2019)The study focuses on statistical analysis of causes of crimes in Mathare slums, Nairobi county using data collected via questionnaires in April 2018.The Correlation analysis was carried out to explain the ... -
Need to make people believe science-science is reliable and means truth
(Open Journal of Social Science,, 2019)Science is the engine that drives the wheel of development. Consequently, there is a need for people to have faith in science and believe its facts and truths. This paper has looked into ... -
The Acoustic Wave Propagation Equation: Discontinuous Galerkin Time Domain Solution Approach
(Applied Mathematical Sciences Vol. 13, 2019, no. 16, 753 - 767, 2019)This paper discusses a finite element method, discontinuous Galerkintime domain approach that solves the 2-D acoustic wave equation incylindrical coordinates. The method is based on discretization of thewave ... -
Construction of a Five-Level V-Dimensional Modified Third Order Rotatable Designs using a Pair of Pairwise Balanced Designs
(African Journal of Education, Science and Technology, 2019)Rotatable designs are devised for use of response surfaces. Rotatability is evidently a greatly popular property for Response Surface Methodology (RSM). RSM is a group of statistical and mathematical ... -
On the Norm of Basic Elementary Operator in a Tensor Product
(International Journal of Scientific and Innovative Mathematical Research., 2019)In this paper, we determine the norm of an elementary operator in a tensor product. More precisely, we investigate the bounds of the norm of a basic elementary operator in a tensor product. We employ the techniques of ... -
THE ACOUSTIC WAVE PROPAGATION EQUATION: THE DISCONTINUOUS GALERKIN TIME DOMAIN SOLUTION APPROACH
(University of Eldoret, 2019)This thesis presents a finite element method, discontinuous Galerkin time domain approach that solves the 2-D acoustic wave equation in cylindrical coordinates. The method is based on discretization of the wave field into ... -
CONSTRUCTION OF MODIFIED THIRD ORDER ROTATABLE DESIGNS THROUGH PAIRWISE BALANCED DESIGNS
(University of Eldoret, 2019)Rotatable designs are designed for use of response surfaces. Rotatability is evidently a greatly popular property for Response Surface Methodology (RSM). RSM is a group of statistical and mathematical technique valuable ... -
AN APPLICATION OF MIXTURE EXPERIMENTS IN FORMULATION OF POULTRY FEED FOR MODELLING CHICK WEIGHT
(University of Eldoret, 2019)Poultry farming in Africa has significantly grown over the years. It is highly dependent on the economy and type of feed used. The quality, components, proportions, rations and storage of feeds is quite critical in poultry ... -

SOLVING MATHEMATICAL WORD PROBLEMS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS: A CASE OF TINDERET SUB-COUNTY, NANDI COUNTY KENYA
(University of Eldoret, 2020)Mathematical word problems are concepts taught at the end of every topic to allow students apply the content that was taught. The study focused on investigating the student’s difficulties in solving mathematical word ... -
On Unitary Invariance of Some Classes of Operators in Hilbert Spaces
(Pure Mathematical Sciences, 2020)It is a known fact in operator theory that two similar operators have equal spectra but they do not necessarily have to belong to the same class of operators. However, under the stronger relation of unitary equivalence ... -
ON NUMERICAL RANGE OF SOME CLASSES OF OPERATORS IN HILBERT SPACES
(University of Eldoret, 2021)The numerical range of operators in Hilbert spaces has been researched by several authors. The properties of the numerical range play an important role in identifying the behaviour of operators in Hilbert spaces. It ... -
