The Interactive Mathematics Program (IMP) is a four-year, problem-based mathematics curriculum for high schools. It was one of several curricula funded by the National Science Foundation and designed around the 1989 National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards .
Electoralism is a term first used by Terry Karl, professor of political science at Stanford University, to describe a "half-way" transition from authoritarian rule toward democratic rule. As a topic in the dominant party system political science literature, electoralism describes a situation in which the transition out of hard-authoritarian ...
An electoral or voting system is a set of rules used to determine the results of an election. Electoral systems are used in politics to elect governments, while non-political elections may take place in business, non-profit organisations and informal organisations.

[4] It is similar to other forms of mixed-member proportional representation, but differs from the better-known additional-member system in that all representatives are elected locally in small districts, rather than requiring ...
The Roemer model of political competition is a game between political parties in which each party announces a multidimensional policy vector.Since Nash equilibria do not normally exist when the policy space is multidimensional, John Roemer introduced the concept of party-unanimity Nash equilibrium (PUNE), which can be considered an application of the concept of Nash equilibrium to political ...
Furthermore, political parties are capped at 3 seats (out of 61). As a result, the mixed-member system utilized in the Philippines is not representative at all of the share of the vote that "normal" political parties obtain (even amongst mixed-member majoritarian systems), let alone for those in full proportional representation systems.
An election is a formal group decision-making process whereby a population chooses an individual or multiple individuals to hold public office.. Elections have been the usual mechanism by which modern representative democracy has operated since the 17th century. [1]
The Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES) [1] is a collaborative research project among national election studies around the world. Participating countries and polities include a common module of survey questions in their national post-election studies.
