The Selection Of Science Students At The College Level, John L. Holmes

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In predicting scholarship in college practically every known fact about a student has been studied in an effort to find the variables most predictive of success. Age, height, weight, religion, father's occupation, education of parents, and size of family have been extensively used to predict college success. Prediction through the use of tests has been studied in practically every college from the smallest junior college to the largest universities. The interest, and it has been tremendous, shown in the prediction of college success is closely related to the progress made in devising more accurate measurement devices. Beginning in 1917 with …

On The General Theory Of Functions, E. W. Chittenden

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

For the purposes of mathematics the general notion of logic 'propositional function' may be used to define a concept which we may wish to regard as a mathematical function. The term function will be restricted to entities which satisfy the conditions imposed. These conditions may be regarded as axioms. They imply certain elementary properties of functions which we may call theorems, although it seems legitimate to raise the question: Are these propositions in logic or mathematics? The symbolism, and methodology are those of mathematics. The significance is so broad that the subject as a whole may be regarded as at …

The Underlying Philosophy Of The Iowa Secondary School Curriculum Program, W. H. Mcfarland

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The Iowa Secondary School Curriculum Program involves providing curriculum materials in all areas of high school instruction. Traditional subject matter areas have been maintained, not because we have assurance that this offers the best procedure in secondary education, but because under present conditions it probably affords the most practical and feasible procedure. The areas treated are broken down as follows: English and speech, language, science, mathematics, social studies, practical arts, fine arts, physical education and health, guidance, and extra-curricular activities.

Basic Concepts In The Interpretation Of Visual Phenomena, Theodore Louis Jahn

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

During the past decade several attempts have been made to formulate equations which would explain certain visual phenomena, namely flicker fusion frequency, brightness discrimination, visual acuity, and instantaneous thresholds as functions of intensity, and light and dark adaptation as functions of time. These various equations are based on several fundamental concepts regarding the mechanism by which the visual sensation is determined. Each concept has been explained by the original author at the time the theory was proposed, but no comparison of these basic ideas has yet appeared in the literature. The purpose of the present paper is to make such …

On The Characterization Of The Algebra Of Four Fundamental Boolean Functions, E. W. Chittenden

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Let 0 and 1 denote the null and unit elements of a Boolean algebra B. The following four functions with argument in B and values in B are of fundamental importance in Boolean algebra. They are: the null function, defined by 0x = 0; the unit function, defined by 1x = 1; the identity function j, defined by jx = x, and the complementary function c, defined by the rule, ex is the complement of x. These four functions, 0, 1, j, c, form a tri-operational algebra in the sense of Karl Menger.

Progress Of Demoted And Promoted Students In Mathematics At The Iowa State College, Fred Robertson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

About 1936 the author began collecting data on the academic progress of two groups of students in mathematics at the Iowa State College. The first group was composed of students selected for their poor showing in mathematics and the second group for their excellent showing in the subject.

On The Converse Of A Certain Theorem In Analytic Geometry, Roscoe Woods

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The three lines 1_i = a_ix +b_iy+ c_i = 0, i = 1, 2, 3, meet in a point if the third order determinant │a₁b₂c₃│ is zero. This is a necessary and sufficient condition if it is assumed that three parallel lines meet in a point. This paper is concerned with the answer to the question: How many points can be associated with a given third order determinant which is zero if equations of lines are formed by using the elements of the determinant as the coefficients?

The General Education Of The Science Teacher, R. W. Getchell

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Volumes have been written on this topic and it would be the height of temerity to assume that anything really new could be contributed in this paper. Opinions, of course, differ and one justification for this discussion lies in the exchange of ideas which it may provoke. Another reason for discussing this subject stems from the present movement in colleges and secondary schools to inject the concept of so-called "general education" into the curriculum. The best-known effort of this sort is centered in Harvard College and has been reported in the volume "General Education in a Free Society." The general …

Trends In High School Science Teaching, Paul E. Kambly

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The trends in high school science teaching may be grouped under the headings curriculum, teacher training, and methods of teaching. Although no one is likely to object to this grouping, there are undoubtedly many individuals who will object to the following statement of trends. This is true because it is human to emphasize those educational trends which seem to be going in what the prognosticator believes is a sensible direction. Curriculum trends of the last 100 years have resulted in four reasonably well standardized courses in present-day high schools. From the ninth through the twelfth grade these courses are general …
