Modelling is an important subject in the Bachelor curriculum of Applied Mathematics at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands. Students not only learn how to apply their knowledge to solve mathematical problems posed in non-mathematical language, but also they learn to look actively for, or even construct, mathematical knowledge…

The purpose of this booklet is to provide interim guidance for those colleges that cannot immediately effect the recommendations of the Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics (CUPM) 1963 report. The recommendations in the 1963 booklet were for the first four years of a seven-year program leading to the Ph.D. and a career in…

Described is a general college curriculum in mathematics that can be taught by a college staff with as few as four teachers. This report considers four related problems in mathematical education, particularly in colleges of arts and sciences. First, there is the problem of uncertainty about curriculum content and sequence. Second, the…

Presented are a suggested program and the course outlines for the pregraduate preparation of research mathematicians. The program set forth is designed for the first four years of a sequence of formal course study leading to the Ph.D. in a total of seven years. The proposed program of pre-graduate mathematical studies falls into two parts:…

Described is a two-semester, first year graduate level course offered at the University of Notre Dame on mathematical methods in chemical engineering. An unusual characteristic of the course is that the lectures are given on transparencies shown by an overhead projector, the students receiving printed copies of the transparencies. (BT)

This article describes the process used by the Educational Foundations Department at Georgia State University in developing computer-assisted instruction (CAI) modules in the areas of statistics and research methods. Courses taken by graduate students who assist faculty members in developing these modules are described. (Author)
