Griffel, D. H. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1975
A course in differential equations for mathematics and physics students is designed to encourage students to models of situations in the sciences. (SD)
Descriptors: Calculus, College Mathematics, Curriculum, Higher Education
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lewis, E. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1974
Descriptors: Calculus, College Mathematics, Computer Graphics, Computers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Astin, J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1974
A systematic approach to general orthogonal co-ordinates, suitable for use near the end of a beginning vector analysis course, is presented. It introduces students to tensor quantities and shows how equations and quantities needed in classical problems can be determined. (Author/LS)

Daly, D. W.; And Others – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1977
This paper describes the nature and use of a computer-assisted sequence of instruction in college-level mathematics. Units in differential and integral calculus and geometry are described. The authors claim that students acquire increased confidence in their knowledge and problem-solving ability. (SD)

Roberts, C. E., Jr. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1976
The author argues that the existence and uniqueness theorems of elementary differential equations must be taught prior to some simple initial value problems. (SD)

White, A. M. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1976
A calculus course was designed to give students an appreciation of mathematics as a social process rather than a set of techniques. Group activities, problem solving sessions, and a new approach to testing were used. (SD)
Descriptors: Calculus, Class Attitudes, College Mathematics, Group Activities
