Ecker, Michael W. – MATYC Journal, 1981
An examination of a student question concerning a calculus problem leads to a discussion of some of the symmetric properties of a specific set of polynomials. (MP)
Descriptors: Calculus, College Mathematics, Graphs, Higher Education
Sharlow, John F. – MATYC Journal, 1981
The relationship between logic and mathematics is examined. Four basic concepts inherent in symbolic logic that are typically included in ninth- and tenth-grade mathematics programs are reviewed. Symbolic logic is advocated for all students who will study algebra and/or geometry. (MP)
Descriptors: Logic, Mathematical Concepts, Mathematical Logic, Mathematics Curriculum
Kerr, Donald R., Jr. – MATYC Journal, 1981
Analogies between topics in algebra and in arithmetic are noted. It is suggested that algebra teachers should consider how to take advantage of student backgrounds in arithmetic by exploiting these analogies. (MP)

Pinker, Aron – MATYC Journal, 1981
This report explains the mathematical origin of the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) approximation often used in elementary Business Mathematics courses. (MP)
Descriptors: Algorithms, College Mathematics, Higher Education, Mathematical Applications
Carry, L. Ray; Wooldridge, Glyn K. – MATYC Journal, 1981
A problem considered an interesting challenge to students with a good command of algebra and trigonometry is presented. (MP)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Geometric Concepts, Higher Education, Instructional Materials
Farley, Reuben W. – MATYC Journal, 1981
An organized series of steps designed to help students solve related rate problems often found in beginning calculus is presented. Two example problems are taken through five steps of solution. (MP)

Vest, Floyd – MATYC Journal, 1980
A mathematical treatment of the relationship between driving speed and fuel efficiency is presented. The material involves applications of exponentials, logarithms, and elementary calculus, and is intended to be enrichment material for secondary and lower college mathematics classes. (MP)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Enrichment Activities, Higher Education, Mathematical Applications
Eisner, Milton P. – MATYC Journal, 1980
Mathematical problems associated with computing the proper apportionment of Representatives to the United States Congress are reviewed. (MP)
