Litaker, R. Gregory – 1981
The applications of a recently developed computer program for microcomputers in developing models in an institutional research environment are considered. The VISICALC program requires no user programming skills, is available for all major brands of microcomputers, and provides for easy exchange of information between users of different computing…

Keller, Edward L. – 1980
This unit, which looks at applications of linear algebra to population studies, is designed to help pupils: (1) understand an application of matrix algebra to the study of populations; (2) see how knowledge of eigen values and eigen vectors is useful in studying powers of matrices; and (3) be briefly exposed to some difficult but interesting…

Holzman, Albert G.; Johnson, Donald B. – Interfaces, 1975
A systematic procedure for developing more accurate estimates of college admission parameters was established. This system quantitatively encodes subjective logic used by decision-makers to combine historical data, statistically derived sample estimates from the current year, and subjective estimates of the decision-maker.

Koenig, H. E. – 1968
From the systems point of view, the objectives of higher education cannot be defined apart from the economic and social context in which the university operates. The report presents the results of a 4-year research project during which a mathematical model was developed to describe the way in which the university, as part of a socioeconomic…

Doorne, William Van; And Others – Journal of Chemical Education, 1976
Describes a Fortran program that illustrates how the end-to-end distances in randomly coiled polymer molecules is affected by varying the number and lengths of chains and the angles between them. (MLH)

Smith, Lester Sanford – 1969
The increasing complexity of educational operations make analytical tools, such as computer simulation models, especially desirable for educational administrators. This MA thesis examined the feasibility of developing computer simulation models of economic systems in higher education to assist decision makers in allocating resources. The report…

Bayman, Piraye – 1983
Because previous research by Bayman and Mayer (1983) suggests that individuals who attempt to learn their first computer language develop a variety of misconceptions of the meanings of individual programming statements, this study investigated whether it is possible to enhance beginning programmers' understanding of the programming statements…

Marcovitz, Alan B., Ed. – 1978
A particularly difficult area for many engineering students is the approximate nature of the relation between models and physical systems. This is notably true when the models consist of differential equations. An approach applied to this problem has been to use analog computers to assist in portraying the output of a model as it is progressively…

Lawson, E. D. – 1978
Osgood, Suci, and Tannenbaum in their work with the semantic differential developed a technique with which data from an individual could be represented by a three-dimensional model. The model is derived from distance scores based upon profile ratings of concepts such as mother or self, on subscales such as kind-cruel, weak-strong, etc. Osgood…

Wildberger, August M. – 1974
An effort was made to operate a computer simulation of individualized self-paced instruction concurrently and in parallel with an actual conventional course. The simulation was in effect a management information system for instructors and students, with modifications as they were made by participants. A pilot program was run at Catholic University…
