Changing Patterns of Transition from School to University Mathematics.
Hoyles, Celia; Newman, Kate; Noss, Richard
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v32 n6 p829-45 Nov-Dec 2001
Uses documentary analysis and an informal case study to locate antecedents of a shift towards lack of preparedness among college entrants and a general shift towards a more utilitarian higher education. Concludes that changes put in place to make mathematics more widely useful may result in losing the features which make it marketable. (Author/MM)
