On the prime graph of simple groups (2014)
Journal Article

Let G be a finite group, let π(G) be the set of prime divisors of jGj and let Γ(G) be the prime graph of G. This graph has vertex set π(G), and two vertices r and s are adjacent if and only if G contains an element of order rs. Many properties of the... Read More about On the prime graph of simple groups.

On boundedly generated subgroups of profinite groups (2014)
Journal Article

In this paper we investigate the following general problem. Let G be a group and let i(G) be a property of G. Is there an integer d such that G contains a d-generated subgroup H with i(H) = i(G)? Here we consider the case where G is a profinite group... Read More about On boundedly generated subgroups of profinite groups.

Using adult learning principles as a framework for learning ICT skills needed for research projects (2013)
Journal Article

Executive Summary Students in higher institutions need to carry out research projects. The focus of this paper explores a model to help students learn ICT skills needed for research projects.
