Very little material exists for utilizing the computer in the physics classroom, and even that little is not widely known. It is hoped that this monograph will provide some stimulus both to innovation and to discussion of the role of the computer in physics education. The paper describes how this might be achieved with a detailed account of one…

This document is a guide to the advanced placement program in calculus for grade 12 in the city schools in Warren, Ohio. The program covers analytic geometry, differential and integral calculus of algebraic functions, elementary transcendental functions, and applications of differentiation and integration. The philosophy and aims of the program…

Reported are detailed recommendations on the mathematics offerings in two year colleges which include the usual range of university parallel programs. The basic program is considered under four headings: Calculus Preparatory, Calculus and Linear Algebra, Business and Social Science, and Teacher Training. Twelve courses are discussed and outlined…

Multiple regression analysis was employed to determine the interactive effects of student motivation, prior mathematics preparation, and instructional method on achievement in a calculus course taught in lecture and Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) formats. A significant interaction between mathematics preparation and instructional method…

Two articles in the "Scientific American" form the background of this note. The rainbow angle for the primary bow of a monochromatic Cartesian rainbow is calculated. Special projects for senior high school students could be patterned after this quantitative study. (MP)

Discusses how the International System (SI) abbreviations for numerical factors designated as prefixes may be treated in quantity calculus as free-standing algebraic symbols. Illustrative examples are also presented. (HM)

This problem solving strategy is illustrated by examples from the fields of algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and calculus. (MP)

Outlines mathematical topics of use to college geography students identifies teaching methods for mathematical techniques in geography at the University of Leeds; and discusses problem of providing students with a framework for synthesizing all content of geography education. For journal availability, see SO 506 593. (Author/AV)

Discusses the rationale for and results of an undergraduate course in calculus using modularized mastery level instruction. The salient features of the present program are instructor controlled learning with modularized materials, immediate results on quizzes, and lecture-recitation sessions. (VT)

Examples are provided of a method of successive approximations suitable for use in a freshman level chemistry course. (CP)

The Individualized Supplementary Calculus Instruction (ISCI) Program is a computer-based tutorial resource in use on several campuses and by large companies needing to train employees in calculus. Evaluation showed ISCI to be effective, especially with students who report little talent for mathematics. (SD)

The development of the Individualized Study System (ISS) in The Netherlands from 1970 to 1975 is reviewed and a case study for first-year engineering is described. A classification of ISS courses illustrates the complexity of the system, with advice offered on the management of individualized study systems. (Author/LBH)

Historical background and mathematical development of Riemann's rearrangement theorem are presented. The theorem is stated and proved in two parts. (PK)

Describes a model for organizing research and development on educational applications of the information technologies. The development and evaluation of interactive video courseware using the model (an interdisciplinary team approach) for precalculus mathematics instruction is included. (JN)
