Reported is an initial attempt to define a minimal college mathematics library. Included is a list of some 300 books, from which approximately 170 are to be chosen to form a basic library in undergraduate mathematics. The areas provided for in this list include Algebra, Analysis, Applied Mathematics, Geometry, Topology, Logic, Foundations and Set…

Materials from an individualized Algebra I program were used by 307 experimental students in ten classrooms of nine public junior and senior high schools. A control group of 250 students in ten classrooms used a traditional textbook approach to Algebra I. Achievement of the total experimental and control groups as measured by the Lankton Test was…

Verbal protocols were collected from math-anxious and math-comfortable college students while they solved algebra problems. These protocols were then examined for differences in problem-solving processes. Differences occurred in the use of two basic strategies: generating values and symbolic transformations. Math-anxious students generated more…

This study was performed as an effort to replicate and extend the findings of Hendrix with regard to verbalization and discovery learning. College algebra classes were randomly assigned to three verbalization conditions: (1) no student verbalization of generalizations required, (2) students make written verbalization of generalization, and (3)…

This manual was designed for use with the first of five texts in the Secondary School Advanced Mathematics (SSAM) series. Developed for students who have completed the Secondary School Mathematics (SSM) program and wish to continue their studies in mathematics, this series is designed to review, strengthen, and fill gaps in the material covered in…

This is Part 1 of the second course in a series which focuses on building fundamental mathematical structures. Topics considered in this book include: an introduction to mathematical logic and mathematical proof, a continuation of the study of groups, an introduction to axiomatic affine geometry, fields, the real number system, and coordinate…

This index lists research studies of experimental programs in mathematics education. The references cited are found in several bibliographies and journals. The main purpose of the "Key-Word-In-Context Index and Bibliography" is to facilitate the retrieval of information on research studies in mathematics education. The "Index" and "Bibliography"…

This paper appraises recent developments in the curriculum and teaching of mathematics in the secondary schools and analyzes mathematics education in the United States with particular emphasis on Nebraska. The first section focuses upon characteristics that distinguish the modern secondary school mathematics curriculum from the traditional. The…

The fourth in a series of six guidebooks on minimum course content for second-year algebra, this booklet covers linear and quadratic relations, absolute value, graphing complex numbers, determinants and matrices, graphing quadratic relations, and solving systems of linear and quadratic equations. Overall course goals are specified, a course…

The sixth in a series of six guidebooks on minimum course content for second-year algebra, this booklet presents an introduction to sequences, series, permutation, combinations, and probability. Included are arithmetic and geometric progressions and problems solved by counting and factorials. Overall course goals are specified, a course outline is…
