Peer reviewedAnderson, Malcolm; Bloom, Lyn; Mueller, Ute; Pedler, Pender – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1999
Considers some changes that the use of graphics calculators impose on the assessment of calculus and mathematical modeling at the undergraduate level. Suggests some of the ways in which the assessment of mathematical tasks can be modified as the mechanics of calculation become routine and questions of analysis and interpretation assume greater…

Peer reviewedCoutis, Peter – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1998
Presents the equations of motion governing the trajectory of a cricket ball subject to a linear drag force. Uses a perturbation expansion technique to solve the resulting trajectory equation for the range of a cricket ball struck into the outfield. (Author/ASK)
