A Decade of Teaching "Reform Calculus" Has Been a Disaster, Critics Charge.
Wilson, Robin
Chronicle of Higher Education, v43 n22 pA12-A13 Feb 7 1997
A decade after mathematicians began a crusade to make calculus more relevant to undergraduate students ("Reform Calculus"), a backlash threatens to derail the effort and divide the profession. Critics charge the movement has watered down mathematics courses, teaching only superficial use of skills. The debate is fierce and the stakes high. About 40% of undergraduates take a calculus course. (MSE)
