Bingolbali, Erhan; Monaghan, John – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004
This report explores first year undergraduate mechanical engineering and mathematics students' conceptions of the derivative and the contribution that membership of different departments may have on these conceptions. Quantitative results suggest that mechanical engineering students develop a proclivity for rate of change aspects of the derivative…
