Peer reviewedParish, Charles R.; Ludwig, Hubert J. – School Science and Mathematics, 1994
Illustrates, categorizes, and analyzes typical mathematical errors in algebra and trigonometry made by high school and lower division college students. (16 references) (Author/MKR)
Descriptors: Algebra, Error Patterns, Higher Education, Mathematics Education
Peer reviewedKatz, Victor J. – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1986
Some concrete examples of the use of historical materials in developing certain topics from precalculus and calculus are presented. Ideas which can be introduced with a reformulated curriculum are discussed in five areas: algorithms, combinatorics, logarithms, trigonometry, and mathematical models. (MNS)

Allen, Bradford D. – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications: An International Journal of the IMA, 2004
The analysis and simulation of spiral growth in plants integrates algebra and trigonometry in a botanical setting. When the ideas presented here are used in a mathematics classroom/computer lab, students can better understand how basic assumptions about plant growth lead to the golden ratio and how the use of circular functions leads to accurate…

Peer reviewedHermann, James P. – Mathematics Teacher, 1988
Argues that students should have dynamic perceptual experience with the concepts central to circular functions. Includes a computer program, designed for Apple II, to provide such experience. (PK)
Descriptors: Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Graphics, Computer Oriented Programs, Courseware
Peer reviewedDemana, Franklin; Waits, Bert K. – College Mathematics Journal, 1988
Argues that while microcomputer and graphing calculators have evolved to a stage where they should be used routinely by mathematics students at all levels, there is sometimes potential to mislead students with computer generated graphs. Examples are included. (PK)

Peer reviewedKaljumagi, Eric A. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1992
Presents the results of a preliminary investigation into the feasibility of teachers constructing their own animations for the mathematics classroom using computer animation tools. Provides examples of animation constructed using "Ani ST" and "Mathematica" programs. Concludes that computer animation has potential to be a…

A variety of educational issues and techniques are discussed in 12 essays by faculty and students at the Connecticut community colleges. Phillip Wheaton recalls the austere beginnings of Middlesex Community College (MCC). Mary-Jo Hewitt describes her adjustment to a four-year college after transferring from MCC. Following a poem by James Childs,…
