The papers in this report represent the imagination, analysis, and experiences of many people involved in recent curricular studies in secondary school mathematics. It differs from reports that seek broad agreement on conservative, traditional curricula, representing instead the point of view of those working with emerging electronic technology…

The conference of which these are the proceedings was held in June-July 1982 at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The purpose was to discuss the restructuring of the first two years of college mathematics to provide some balance between the traditional calculus-linear algebra sequence, and discrete mathematics. The volume contains…

This manual outlines a calculus course, one of three optional courses designed to meet the needs of students in Manitoba (Canada) secondary schools who demonstrate particular aptitude in mathematics and who desire to study more topics and more advanced topics. Major emphasis is placed on applications and problem solving. The four units in the…

There has been much recent discussion concerning the content of the standard calculus course for students majoring in mathematics and the sciences. Some of this discussion has focused on the available textbooks. One weakness noted in some of these books involves the definitions of limit and continuity for functions of several variables. A…

This curriculum guide lists mathematics topics and concepts, learning outcomes, and sample learning objectives (in three columns) for these secondary school mathematics courses in Alaska: (1) general mathematics; (2) consumer mathematics; (3) pre-algebra; (4) algebra I; (5) algebra II; (6) geometry; (7) trigonometry; (8) precalculus; and (9)…

This collection of materials includes six units dealing with applications of matrix methods. These are: 105-Food Service Management; 107-Markov Chains; 108-Electrical Circuits; 109-Food Service and Dietary Requirements; 111-Fixed Point and Absorbing Markov Chains; and 112-Analysis of Linear Circuits. The units contain exercises and model exams,…

This report includes a general overview of the literature on computer use at the two-year college level and in specific academic disciplines, and a description of the development of a computer assisted instruction (CAI) program in linear algebra. The literature review was based on articles from journals, Dissertation Abstracts International, a…

Twenty-eight reports, articles, and papers published in 1973 which concern mathematics education in the community junior college are reviewed. Much of this literature was found in "The Two-Year College Mathematics Journal,""The American Mathematical Monthly," or among Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) reports. The references are…

Eighteen research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. Four of the reports deal with aspects of learning theory, five with topics in mathematics instruction (history of mathematics, exponents, probability, calculus, and calculators), four with teacher characteristics, and one each with testing, student interests,…

This document consists of five units which all view applications of mathematics to American politics. The first three view calculus applications, the last two deal with applications of algebra. The first module is geared to teach a student how to: 1) compute estimates of the value of the parameters in negative exponential models; and draw…

This is part of a series of 42 Calculus Based Physics (CBP) modules totaling about 1,000 pages. The modules include study guides, practice tests, and mastery tests for a full-year individualized course in calculus-based physics based on the Personalized System of Instruction (PSI). The units are not intended to be used without outside materials;…
