Direct linkOremland, Lucy S.; Szabo, Csilla – PRIMUS, 2022
In this paper, we present an overview of a series of 1-credit applied problem solving courses. The goal of these courses was to help students develop their oral and written communication skills, ability to work as a team, and general problem solving skills through preparation and participation in the Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) and…

Starling, James K.; Povich, Timothy J.; Findlay, Michael – PRIMUS, 2016
We describe a modeling project designed for an ordinary differential equations (ODEs) course using first-order and systems of first-order differential equations to model the fermentation process in beer. The project aims to expose the students to the modeling process by creating and solving a mathematical model and effectively communicating their…

Gerhardt, Ira – PRIMUS, 2017
The recent introduction of a new course in mathematical modeling at Manhattan College has provided students with a valuable opportunity to gain practical experience utilizing tools in applying their mathematical abilities to a real-world problem. This paper describes the steps taken to create this class, from obtaining a real-world partner…

Dziak, Clarice; Leventhal, Brian; Luttman, Aaron; Skufca, Joseph – PRIMUS, 2014
In response to a university mandate to include "professional issues" as a component of every major, we have developed a vertically integrated approach to incorporating the study of professional skills and issues into the mathematics curriculum. Beginning in the first year of study, mathematics majors take an inquiry-based course in…

This manuscript proposes a mathematical model to address faculty sufficiency requirements towards assuring overall high quality management education at a global university. Constraining elements include full-time faculty coverage by discipline, location, and program, across multiple campus locations subject to stated service quality standards of…

Castillo-Garsow, Carlos; Castillo-Chavez, Carlos; Woodley, Sherry – PRIMUS, 2013
The Mathematical and Theoretical Biology Institute (MTBI) is a successful summer research experience for undergraduates, with a strong record of mentoring Ph.D. graduates, particularly, underrepresented minority students. However, the MTBI program was designed for education in research, not for research in education, and the mechanisms of the…

Kelley, Todd R. – Technology Teacher, 2010
A number of leaders in technology education have indicated that a major difference between the technological design process and the engineering design process is analysis and optimization. The analysis stage of the engineering design process is when mathematical models and scientific principles are employed to help the designer predict design…

Massetti, Greta M.; Crean, Hugh; Johnson, Deborah; DuBois, David; Ji, Peter – Journal of Research in Character Education, 2009
Interventions that aim to promote social competence, reduce problem behavior, and improve school climate are common at all levels of schooling. This whole-school focus, coupled with researchers' concerns about contamination or spillover effects in evaluations that randomly assign classrooms or students to conditions, as well as advances in…

Peer reviewedFenton, Richard J.; Gardner, John; Singh, Sandeep – Education Economics, 2001
Recent public higher education spending cuts have often been matched by tuition increases, resulting in possible declines in college graduates and in personal income tax receipts. Applying a net present-value model to quantify New York State data suggests that potential revenue losses quickly dwarf short-term budgetary savings. (Contains 21…

Rensselaer Research Corp., Troy, NY. – 1969
The preliminary purpose of this research on educational planning was to develop the methodology for the construction and to determine the feasibility of a computerized mathematical model that would project college and university enrollments in New York State. It was recommended that a simulation model be constructed as a prototype for a…

Rensselaer Research Corp., Troy, NY. – 1968
The purpose of this study was to develop the schema and methodology for the construction of a computerized mathematical model designed to project college and university enrollments in New York State and to meet the future increased demands of higher education planners. This preliminary report describes the main structure of the proposed computer…

Peer reviewedDembowski, Frederick L.; And Others – Journal of Education Finance, 1982
Discusses the use of district inhabitants' income, rather than property values, to measure school district wealth when allocating state aid. Examines data collection and other methodological problems, derives three formulas combining income and property measures for aid allocation, and tests each formula's effects using data from New York State.…

Cherin, Ellen, Ed. – 1977
The State Planning System (SPS) is a policy-oriented management tool intended to help analyze the interrelated effects of alternative policies and their relationships to state goals. Two pilot-test case studies are described--the SPS tuition policy evaluation conducted in Colorado, and New York's SPS evaluation of the applicability of large scale…

Peer reviewedErekson, O. Homer – Journal of Education Finance, 1982
To examine the impact of enrollment shifts between public and private schools on public school expenditures per pupil, 1970-71 data were gathered on private school tuition and enrollment, public and parochial school expenditures, and demographic variables. Analysis using an economic model indicated few effects on public school expenditures. (RW)
