Abstract
A physics lecture and a mathematics lecture, by the same teacher and partly the
same students, were studied at upper secondary school. Both lectures covered
ordinary differential equations. The main aim of the present paper was to investigate the teacher’s different and similar ways to handle related mathematical
content in the two school subjects. The findings show a structural use of mathematics with an analytical approach in mathematics and an applied approach
in relation to formulas in physics. This study is part of a larger study about
mathematics in physics education funded by the Swedish research council.
