1. Periodic Magnetic Geodesics on Heisenberg Manifolds

Abstract

We study the dynamics of magnetic flows on Heisenberg groups. Let $H$ denote the three-dimensional simply connected Heisenberg Lie group endowed with a left-invariant Riemannian metric and an exact, left-invariant magnetic field. Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice subgroup of $H,$ so that $\Gamma\backslash H$ is a closed nilmanifold. We first find an explicit description of magnetic geodesics on $H$, then determine all closed magnetic geodesics and their lengths for $\Gamma \backslash H$. We then consider two applications of these results: the density of periodic magnetic geodesics and marked magnetic length spectrum rigidity., Comment: 32 pages

Abstract

Objective: The present study aimed to determine correlates of adherence to COVID-19 health precautions among college students. Drawing from the literature, the following constructs were considered: self-efficacy, conscientiousness, social support, collectivism, empathy, and fear of COVID. Participants: Undergraduate students (N = 92) recruited from psychology classes and social media, living on and off-campus, served as participants during fall 2020. Methods: Participants completed a short self-report survey, delivered online, measuring adherence to COVID-19 health precautions and its possible correlates. Results: After preliminary comparisons showing no differences in adherence between students living on and off-campus, linear regression analyses of the complete sample revealed that the significant predictors of adherence were conscientiousness, collectivism, empathy, and fear of COVID. Conclusions: College student adherence was largely driven by interpersonal motivators coupled with a modest level of fear, rather than more general constructs. These findings offer implications for considering targets in public health campaigns delivered to college students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

11. Are We at a Watershed Moment for the Quantitative Literacy Movement?: Review of Shifting Context, Stable Core: Advancing Quantitative Literacy in Higher Education, by Luke Tunstall, Gizem Karaali, and Victor Piercey, eds.

Abstract

The thematic approach of the edited MAA Notes volume Shifting Contexts, Stable Core: Advancing Quantitative Literacy in Higher Education is that the "construct" of quantitative literacy is now fairly stable, but the contexts in which quantitative literacy is taught (and practiced) continue to change. Several chapters give the reader much to consider regarding what constitutes the foundation of this stable core and, relatedly, how quantitative literacy is defined. Still, the depth and range of contributions in this book provide strong evidence that quantitative literacy has matured and is thriving in higher education. The approximately twenty chapters include retrospectives on the history of quantitative literacy (primarily in the United States), as well as perspectives on its current state; both lessons and "lessons learned" about teaching quantitative literacy in mathematical and interdisciplinary contexts; discussions of assessment; and critical reflections of the relationship between quantitative literacy and social justice. This rich and, at times, provocative book is an excellent addition to the growing collection of quantitative literacy scholarship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
