It takes a historical view of how assessment developers have made those choices, how contemporary practices emerged, and of alternative techniques that have risen and fallen over time. The three sections each tackle one of these choices. The first considers the social functions that define L2 writing and assessment; the second relates how assessment tasks have adapted to changing conceptions of languages, writing, and assessment; and the third explores how scoring systems have evolved. Each section brings the reader up to date with current issues confronting writing assessment (both in large-scale testing and in language classrooms) before considering the new opportunities and challenges of the digital age. This book will be of interest to students, scholars and practitioners in language assessment, language education, and applied linguistics.

Preliminaries -- 2 Progressions and finite sums -- 3 Induction principle -- 4 Quadratic and cubic polynomials -- 5 Complex numbers -- 6 Functions and functional equations -- 7 Sequences and series -- 8 Polynomials -- 9 Problems -- 10 Solutions of the exercises and problems -- Notation -- Bibliography -- Index.The techniques presented here are useful for solving mathematical contest problems in algebra and analysis. Most of the examples and exercises that appear in the book originate from mathematical Olympiad competitions around the world. In the first four chapters the authors cover material for competitions at high school level. The level advances with the chapters. The topics explored include polynomials, functional equations, sequences and an elementary treatment of complex numbers. The final chapters provide a comprehensive list of problems posed at national and international contests in recent years, and solutions to all exercises and problems presented in the book. It helps students in preparing for national and international mathematical contests form high school level to more advanced competitions and will also be useful for their first year of mathematical studies at the university. It will be of interest to teachers in college and university level, and trainers of the mathematical Olympiads.Number theoryDifference equationsFunctional equationsSequences (Mathematics)Number Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M25001Difference and Functional Equationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12031Sequences, Series, Summabilityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M1218XNumber theory.Difference equations.Functional equations.Sequences (Mathematics)Number Theory.Difference and Functional Equations.Sequences, Series, Summability.512Bulajich Manfrino Radmilaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut755532Gómez Ortega José Antonioauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autValdez Delgado Rogelioauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299778403321Topics in Algebra and Analysis2536893UNINA
