Peer reviewedWidaman, Keith F. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2003
Describes the individual chapters of this collection and notes that, although the book lacks consistency in some respects, it contains state-of-the-art reflections on the modeling of change and should stimulate discussion for experts and practitioners. (SLD)
Descriptors: Change, Mathematical Models, Measurement Techniques
Peer reviewedAckerman, Terry – Psychometrika, 2001
This book is a compendium of recent item response theory (IRT) research that reviews 27 IRT models. The book contains a historical overview of IRT followed by six sections that deal with the application of a particular IRT model or set of models. (SLD)
Descriptors: Item Response Theory, Mathematical Models, Test Items
Peer reviewedThomas, Hoben – Psychometrika, 1990
It is contended that this book's conceptually rigorous and complete treatment of meta-analysis is written with the consumer in mind. Some of the models presented are not appropriate for studies that meta-analyses commonly consider. Sampling issues are not covered adequately, and much of the supporting theory is omitted. (SLD)

Peer reviewedKraines, David P.; And Others – College Mathematics Journal, 1991
This article describes a calculus lesson that illustrates the nature of cycles in simple systems of nonlinear differential equations through the use of the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model as incorporated in the computer software package, Phaser (version 1.0). (JJK)

Peer reviewedHerman, Eugene A., Ed. – College Mathematics Journal, 1991
This review features new examples of using the computer relative to college-level mathematics to enhance pedagogy, solve problems, and model real-life situations. Included is a LOGO program that can be used to create and to stimulate subsequent investigations of spirolaterals, those figures generated by repeatedly drawing basic loops. (JJK)

Peer reviewedTsiotras, George D. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1988
Presents a review of microcomputer-based software packages that have been designed for Operations Research, Management Science, and Production and Operations Management. Listed for each package are price for student use, minimum system requirements needed to run the package, and maximum capability constraints. (PK)

Peer reviewedMoore, John W., Ed. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1989
Presents five computer programs: (1) Accurate Numerical Solutions of the One-Dimensional Schrodinger Equation; (2) NMR Simulation and Interactive Drill/Interpretation; (3) A Simple Computer Program for the Calculation of 13C-NMR Chemical Shifts; (4) Constants of 1:1 Complexes from NMR or Spectrophotometric Measurements; and (5) Saturation…
