This is volume three of a three-volume set for teachers using SMSG junior high school text materials. Each unit contains a commentary on the text, answers to all the exercises, a copy of the questionnaire used for evaluating the material, and a summary of comments by the teachers using the text. Unit topics include: (1) what is mathematics; (2)…

A computer program for numeric and symbolic manipulation and the methodology underlying its development are presented. Some features of the program are: an option for implied multiplication; computation of higher-order derivatives; differentiation of 26 different trigonometric, hyperbolic, inverse trigonometric, and inverse hyperbolic functions;…

This handbook on the metric system is printed in a large type for ease of reading. It includes several tables of often-used facts. A brief background of the metric system is presented, followed by chapters on metric uses with electricity, length, pressure, temperature, threaded fastenings, tools, torque, volume, and weight. Each chapter provides a…

The results of an algorithm which is designed to take a set of commonality coefficients, either real or manipulated, and, if possible, produce one or more sets of regressor correlations that are consistent with them are examined. A number of different ways of resolving the higher order commonality values into their lower orders were tried and the…

The true state of the system described here is characterized by a probability vector. At each stage of the system an action must be chosen from a finite set of actions. Each possible action yields an expected reward, transforms the system to a new state in accordance with a Markov transition matrix, and yields an observable outcome. The problem of…

One of 12 books developed for use with the core material (Book O) of the Elements of Mathematics Program, this text covers material well beyond the scope of the usual secondary mathematics sequences. These materials are designed for highly motivated students with strong verbal abilities; mathematical theories and ideas are developed through…

This volume, a part of the Elements of Mathematics Program (EM), provides the student with an experience in developing a mathematical model for a "real-life" situation. After discussing the process of mathematization by reference to geometry, and presenting a flow-chart diagram describing the relationship of mathematical models to real…

This publication consists of a brief essay on the scientific analysis of organizational interaction and structures and a bibliography of relevant publications. The author discusses the application of mathematical ordering and analysis to the study of organizations and examines the relationship between organizational structure and interpersonal…

This book is a collection of more than 5,000 abstracts on mathematics and arithmetic techniques related to computer science and to information processing. This collection is compiled from "Computer and Information Systems" and is a continuation of a previous series of books of computer abstracts--"Cumulative Computer Abstracts." (Author/FL)

This is the final report of a project developed to plan a program that can be used as a basis for the teaching of tenth grade general mathematics. A set of ten units that provide most of a year's work in tenth grade general mathematics was designed. A brief description of the topics included in each of these units is given. Also described are the…
