Chapters in this book recognize the more than forty years of
sustained and distinguished lifetime achievement in mathematics
education research and development of Jeremy Kilpatrick. Including
contributions from a variety of skilled mathematics educators, this
text honors Jeremy Kilpatrick, reflecting on his groundbreaking
papers, book chapters, and books - many of which are now standard
references in the literature - on mathematical problem solving, the
history of mathematics education, mathematical ability and
proficiency, curriculum change and its history, global perspectives
on mathematics education, and mathematics assessment. Many chapters
also offer substantial contributions of their own on important
themes, including mathematical problem solving, mathematics
curriculum, the role of theory in mathematics education, the
democratization of mathematics, and international perspectives on
the professional field of mathematics education.
This book provides an overview of current research on a variety of
topics related to both large-scale and classroom assessment. First,
the purposes, traditions and principles of assessment are
considered, with particular attention to those common to all levels
of assessment and those more connected with either classroom or
large-scale assessment. Assessment design based on sound assessment
principles is discussed, differentiating between large-scale and
classroom assessment, but also examining how the design principles
overlap. The focus then shifts to classroom assessment and provides
specific examples of assessment strategies, before examining the
impact of large-scale assessment on curriculum, policy,
instruction, and classroom assessment. The book concludes by
discussing the challenges that teachers currently face, as well as
ways to support them. The book offers a common language for
researchers in assessment, as well as a primer for those interested
in understanding current work in the area of assessment. In
summary, it provides the opportunity to discuss large-scale and
classroom assessment by addressing the following main themes:
*Purposes, Traditions and Principles of Assessment *Design of
Assessment Tasks *Classroom Assessment in Action *Interactions of
Large-Scale and Classroom Assessment *Enhancing Sound Assessment
Knowledge and Practices It also suggests areas for future research
in assessment in mathematics education.

The Book of Jeremiah is one of the longest, most complex and
influential writings in the Hebrew Bible. It comprises poetic
oracles, prose sermons, and narratives of the prophet, as well as
laments, symbolic actions, and utterances of hope from one of the
most turbulent periods in the history of ancient Judah and Israel.
Written by some of the most influential contemporary biblical
interpreters today, The Oxford Handbook of Jeremiah offers
compelling new readings of the text informed by a rich variety of
methodological approaches and theoretical frameworks. In presenting
discussions of the Book of Jeremiah in terms of its historical and
cultural contexts of origins, textual and literary history, major
internal themes, reception history, and significance for a number
of key political issues, The Handbook examines the fascinating
literary tradition of the Book of Jeremiah while also surveying
recent scholarship. The result is a synthetic anthology that offers
a significant contribution to the field as well as an indispensable
resource for scholars and non-specialists alike.
This paper treats a two-echelon inventory system. The higher
echelon is a single location reffered to as the depot, which places
orders for supply of a single com modity. The lower echelon
consists of several points, called the retailers, which are
supplied by shipments from the depot, and at which random demands
for the item occur. Stocks are reviewed and decisions are made
periodically. Orders and/or shipments may each require a fixed lead
time before reaching their respective desti nations. Section II
gives a short literature review of distribution research. Section
III introduces the multi-echelon distribution system together with
the underlying as sumptions and gives a description of how this
problem can be viewed as a Markovian Decision Process. Section IV
discusses the concept of cost modifications in a distribution
context. Section V presents the test-examples together with their
optimal solutions and also gives the characteristic properties of
these optimal solutions. These properties then will be used in
section VI to give adapted ver sions of various heuristics which
were used in assembly experiments previously and which will be
tested against the test-examples."
