Investigated was the development of a diagnostic and individualized remedial program for prospective elementary teachers in the area of mathematical skills. Subjects were 120 students in the pre-methods course on number systems during the Winter and Spring 1971 terms at the Ogontz Campus, Pennsylvania State University. All subjects were given a…

Gradient methods are employed in orthogonal oblique analytic rotation. Constraints are imposed on the elements of the transformation matrix by means of reparameterisations. (Author)

The study was concerned with the formation of grouPs of students and specifically addressed the problem: Can a computerized Procedure be developed which assigns students to instructional groups, which maximizes the homogeneity of these groups when this homogeneity is based on relevent student learning characteristics, and which takes account of…

An alternate method for factoring quadratic equations is presented as being quicker and easier to use than the trial-and-error method. (MP)

A concrete approach to subtraction problems with minuends to 19 is presented. (MP)

A comparison of four methods of finding the maturity value of the principal is presented. The four methods are: table, period-by-period iterative calculation, formula, and Binomial Theorem. (MP)

An algorithm for long division is presented that involves only addition and subtraction. (MP)

The calculator is used to solve certain formidable equations, which arise naturally and which may be difficult or impossible to solve by standard methods, by a method of successive approximations. (MP)

The benefits of utilizing text compression for CAI are evaluated, and an analysis of core storage, decoding, and CPU time are presented for the PDP-10 system. (RAO)

The long division algorithm approached as repeated subtractions is explained. (DT)

Discusses how performance technologists, or trainers, can provide more impact in reducing field performance deficiencies by gathering feedback from the field regarding training matters. A feedback generator is described that is expressed in terms of an algorithm and helps point to solutions to improve productivity. (LRW)

A method for checking college students' completion of program and graduation requirements by computer is outlined. The procedure operates by having degree programs defined in tables and is simple enough to be achieved by junior program staff without the need for programmers and analysts. (MSE)

Defines a set of algorithms providing the minimum amount of information necessary for computer generation of all forms in the German lexicon and detection of spelling errors, based on a method of compressing lexical information. (Author/CB)

Reviews the development of artificial intelligence systems and the mechanisms used, including knowledge representation, programing languages, and problem processing systems. Eleven books and 6 journals are listed as sources of information on artificial intelligence. (23 references) (CLB)

Presents a mathematical theory that can be used to define concentration places of objects within unordered classes. The application to research on the evolution of journals and subject areas is illustrated, and an online method of calculating concentration evolution is described. (1 references) (CLB)
