A course in statistics for social science majors was redesigned around computer use with the expectation of increasing mastery of course objectives. (SD)

A course in applied statistics for social science students provides for students designing experiments at an interactive terminal. (SD)

The author argues that teaching students to program a computer enhances their logical reasoning, problem solving skills, understanding of models, and ability to examine one's work critically. (SD)

Described is a laboratory program at Hope College, Holland, Michigan. Examples of laboratory exercises are provided. (RH)

This paper, after analyzing the meaning of "applied mathematics," seeks to explore and set forth some broad outlines of the pedagogical implications of studies in the application of mathematics. (Author/MP)

This paper discusses the possible uses which can be made of the history of mathematics in mathematical education. It contains a description of a lecture course for teachers in the history of mathematics and a discussion of some general and specific problems. (Author/MP)

Mathematics is often referred to as a language. This paper attempts to explore the implied meanings of such statements and to outline a rationale for utilizing the language-structure of mathematics in mathematics instruction. (Author/MK)

Concern about certain of the difficulties encountered by undergraduate students in learning mathematics is discussed. Three attitudes of present-day undergraduates which contribute significantly to the difficulties encountered by students are examined. (Author/MK)

The systems approach to teaching is briefly discussed and then applied to teaching undergraduate calculus. The implementation procedure, specifications of the learning units, program of study and experimentation, and the various types of expenses are also outlined. (Author/MK)

This paper investigates similarities and differences between the computer and the human brain in terms of thought processes and develops the theory that the computer can learn, is intelligent and does satisfy educational learning requirements. (Author/MK)

The concept of school curriculum in science and mathematics is discussed and related to the structures of the disciplines and theory developments. Recent epistemological studies on theory dynamics (Kuhn, Sneed) are put into context with the understanding of learning processes. (Author/MK)
