Analyzing the Test of Problem Solving Abilities by Using GM(0,N)

Abstract:

This paper is going to use Grey Model to analyze the research tool of abilities of problem solving. There are 10 questions in the Test of problem solving. The results of this paper is not only identify the easiest and the most difficult concepts for students, but also displays that the Grey Model can really found out the students’ abilities of problem solving, therefore the analysis of Grey Model is better than that of tradition method.
