THIS NOTE PRESENTS MODELS FOR PASSING JUDGMENT ON THE IMPORTANCE OF PROJECTS. TWO APPROACHES ARE CONSIDERED--PROJECTS WITH TWO ATTRIBUTES, PRIORITY AND DEADLINE DATES, AND PROJECTS WITH K ATTRIBUTES. THE SOLUTIONS ARE ILLUSTRATED THROUGH EXAMPLES AND BY AN ALGORITHM PRESENTED IN A COMPUTER REFERENCE LANGUAGE TO SHOW HOW ONE OF THE SOLUTIONS CAN BE…

Pennell, Roger – 1971
It is argued that many investigators utilize the Tucker and Messick (1963) Model with no intention of looking for individual differences or, after utilizing the model, draw improper inferences. An example is given illustrating the difficulties which result from improper use of the model. Several proper methods are outlined. (Author)

A MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF ESTABLISHED AND INDUSTRIALLY VALIDATED LEARNING AND FORGETTING THEORIES IS OUTLINED, AND A COMPUTER-EXECUTED HEURISTIC ALGORITHM FOR SELECTING THE BEST SCHEDULE FOR SUBJECT PRESENTATION IS GIVEN. FUNDAMENTAL PARAMETERS OF THE MODEL INCLUDE EDUCATION POTENTIAL, TYPE OF SUBJECT MATTER, TYPE OF LEARNER, TEACHING METHODS, AND…

Gordon, Sheldon P. – 1977
The so-called discrete approach in calculus instruction involves introducing topics from the calculus of finite differences and finite sums, both for motivation and as useful tools for applications of the calculus. In particular, it provides an ideal setting in which to incorporate computers into calculus courses. This approach has been…

One aim of this report is to show and emphasize that in the computational approaches to most of today's pressing and challenging scientific and technological problems, the mathematical aspects cannot and should not be considered in isolation. Following an introductory chapter, chapter 2 discusses a number of typical problems leading to…

Stinaff, Russell D. – 1973
The problem of structuring sequences of instructional stimuli such that learning is optimized is modelled as a sequential decision problem with an imbedded mathematical model of learning providing a criterion function. Three types of optimization methods for such a representation are investigated for the specific case of paired-associate learning…
