Oregon State Univ., Corvallis. Vocational-Technical Education Dept. – 1982
This handbook was developed to help the vocational teacher aid students in solving mathematical problems in vocational education classes. Most of the examples in the handbook were derived from metal-working and industrial mechanics classes; however, the procedures explained through them will work in any vocational class. The handbook is divided…

The document notes that in health and medical research the need to compare rates or proportions for some event can often occur. It is the module's goal to illustrate the conditions necessary for recognizing potentially misleading situations, and to show how to cope statistically with such situations. The four sections show: 1) when to adjust…

Cloer, Thomas, Jr. – 1981
The research focusing on students' comprehension of mathematical word problems can be viewed from the math educator's perspective, the reading educator's perspective, or a pedagogical perspective. Math educators emphasize the math aptitude of the learners, a view suggesting that students must possess certain understandings to succeed in…

Benedict, John T. – 1977
The scope of this book covers metrication management. It was created to fill the middle management need for condensed, authoritative information about the metrication process and was conceived as a working tool and a prime reference source. Written from a management point of view, it touches on virtually all aspects of metrication and highlights…

Dawson, Evelyn; And Others – 1973
This module is primarily designed to focus on two main areas: graphing and map reading. Graphing entails the use of bar, line, and circle graphs, the x and y axes, the coordinate plane, and ordered pairs. Map reading includes conversion tables, approximations, devising scales, and learning to refold a folding map. (Author/MK)

Goldman, Gary S. – COED Transactions, 1980
Computer graphics systems typically produce a single, machine-like character font. At most, these systems enable the user to (1) alter the aspect ratio (height-to-width ratio) of the characters, (2) specify a transformation matrix to slant the characters, and (3) define a virtual pen table to change the lineweight of the plotted characters.…

Buckland, M.K.; Woodburn, I. – 1968
A research project is being conducted to construct a mathematical model of the operations of an academic library to be used in making managerial decisions. As part of this project, this report examines Bradford's Law of Scattering and the fall-off of use of documents as they age. A series of mathematical analyses indicate how these two laws can be…

Wheeler, Alan E.; Kass, Heidi – 1977
The purpose of this study was to determine how students' perceptions of the proportionality schema are related to achievement in introductory chemistry. A total of 309 tenth-grade students, comprised of an ALCHEM materials sample (N=168) and a CHEM study sample (N=141), enrolled in four urban senior high schools, was tested under normal classroom…

Olson, George H. – 1975
The multivariate general linear hypothesis (MGLH) has received relatively little utilization in educational research and evaluation. This is surprising in view of the fact that recent publications have made the MGLH tractable by practitioners. This paper seeks to stimulate interest in the MGLH by reviewing recent applications, emphasizing the…

Pruitt, Gary K.; Dieterly, Duncan L. – 1975
The results of a study to evaluate the potential life-cycle costs and cost savings that could be realized by applying the Digital Avionics Information System (DAIS) concept to future avionic systems were presented. The tasks evaluated included selection of program elements for costing, selection of DAIS installation potential, definition of a…

Beaton, Albert E., Jr. – 1973
Commonality analysis is an attempt to understand the relative predictive power of the regressor variables, both individually and in combination. The squared multiple correlation is broken up into elements assigned to each individual regressor and to each possible combination of regressors. The elements have the property that the appropriate sums…
