Peer reviewedHenriksen, Melvin, Ed.; Wagon, Stan, Ed. – American Mathematical Monthly, 1991
The discrete mathematics topics of trees and computational complexity are implemented in a simple reliability program which illustrates the process advantages of the PASCAL programing language. The discussion focuses on the impact that reliability research can provide in assessment of the risks found in complex technological ventures. (Author/JJK)

Peer reviewedvan der Linden, Wim J., Ed. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1986
New theory and practice in testing is replacing the standard test by the test item bank and classical test theory by item response theory. Eight papers and a commentary are presented in this special issue concerning test item banking. (SLD)

About 25 children in each of grades 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 were tested in their ability to solve linear syllogisms, such as: John is taller than Mary. Mary is taller than Pete. Who is tallest--John, Mary, or Pete? Response latencies and error rates decreased across grade levels and sessions. Component latencies also generally decreased with increasing…

Cipra, Barry – What's Happening in the Mathematical Sciences, 1993
This document consists of the first two volumes of a new annual serial devoted to surveying some of the important developments in the mathematical sciences in the previous year or so. Mathematics is constantly growing and changing, reaching out to other areas of science and helping to solve some of the major problems facing society. Volumes 1 and…

Suydam, Marilyn N., Ed.; Kasten, Margaret L., Ed. – 1980
Fourteen research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. Two of the reports deal with teacher education, two with problem solving, three with basic operations, and one each with learning disabled students, rational numbers, proportional reasoning, counting, teacher effectiveness, group cooperation on mathematical…

Suydam, Marilyn N., Ed.; Kasten, Margaret L., Ed. – Investigations in Mathematics Education, 1984
This issue contains abstracts and critical comments for 11 articles. Three articles focus on problem solving; the remainder concern understanding of the equals sign, mathematical structure, mathematical abilities, the role of language in tasks involving sets, sex differences in mathematical errors, subtraction, algorithms as schemes, and…

Cornu, Bernard, Ed.; Ralston, Anthony, Ed. – 1992
In 1985 the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) published the first edition of a book of studies on the topic of the influence of computers on mathematics and the teaching of mathematics. This document is an updated version of that book and includes five articles from the 1985 ICMI conference at Strasbourg, France; reports…
