Engelbrecht, J.; Harding, A.; Preez, J. Du – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2007
This study focuses on the long-term retention of basic mathematical techniques in a first-year calculus course, involving a sample group of engineering students at the University of Pretoria. The study investigates which and how much of the basic mathematical knowledge and rote skills acquired in the first year of study is retained after a further…
