Examples are given of the usefulness of mathematics in several different fields. (MM)

A mathematical argument is presented for a particular definition of the term "isokinetics." (MM)

The behavior of focus samples central to the multiple-look model of Trabasso and Bower is examined by three methods. First, exact probabilities of success conditional upon a certain brief history of stimulation are determined. Second, possible states of the organism during the experiment are defined and a transition matrix for those states…

Statistical inference concerning the parameters of k multivariate normal populations is considered. Several models in which the parameters have certain hierarchical relationships are discussed, in particular as related to testing the hypothesis that k psychological tests are parallel forms of the same test. The report contains the following…

In this workshop, we will continue to reflect on a models and modeling perspective to understand how students and teachers learn and reason about real life situations encountered in a mathematics and science classroom. We will discuss the idea of a model as a conceptual system that is expressed by using external representational media, and that is…

How far does the back end of a bus swing out as the driver makes a turn at an intersection?'' is the problem discussed. (MM)

Outlines the facts being presented in the literature about mathematical models, their related components, and their practical and theoretical uses. (Author)

The approaches taken to psychological research are discussed. Studies are classified as axiomatic, classical, stochastic or statistical, or structural. The mathematical models used in each type of study are discussed. (SD)

The meaning of an "application" of mathematics is examined and sample real-world mathematical problems are given. (DT)
