Implementing the Standards: Incorporating Mathematical Modeling into the Curriculum.

Swetz, Frank

Mathematics Teacher, v84 n5 p358-65 May 1991

Following a brief historical review of the mechanism of mathematical modeling, examples are included that associate a mathematical model with given data (changes in sea level) and that model a real-life situation (process of parallel parking). Also provided is the rationale for the curricular implementation of mathematical modeling. (JJK)
