Using Data To Develop Mathematical Methods, Philip R. Carlson Jun 1995

Using Data To Develop Mathematical Methods, Philip R. Carlson

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1995

An analysis of ordered pairs and their scatter plots leads to interesting questions related to mathematical modeling. Some statistical methods suggest ways to approach this analysis of the ordered pairs. Both high school and college methods are illustrated in this paper.

The 25 Greatest Mathematicians, Robert Brabenec Jun 1995

The 25 Greatest Mathematicians, Robert Brabenec

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1995

Many have tried to determine the greatest mathematicians in history. The purpose of this paper is to consider making such a list, along with some criteria to consider in making a rank order of these mathematicians.

Mathematical And Theological Beliefs: A Cognitive Science Perspective, Ron Benbow Jun 1995

Mathematical And Theological Beliefs: A Cognitive Science Perspective, Ron Benbow

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1995

In recent years, research studies have shown that control decisions and processes, beliefs about the nature of mathematics, attitudes, and other affective variables have enormous impact on the mathematical performance of students. This paper gives an overview of the research on mathematical beliefs and reviews some work done in Christian education relating to theological beliefs. It then compares the two.

The Intermediate Value Theorem, Dale Varberg Jun 1995

The Intermediate Value Theorem, Dale Varberg

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1995

The Intermediate Value Theorem (a continuous function on an interval assumes all values between any two of its values) is one of the big theorems of calculus. Yet the theorem is absent or briefly mentioned in most calculus textbooks. The theorem deserves better as we intend to show by listing ten picturesque consequences that we think could enliven any calculus course.

Constructivism, Mathematics Education And Christianity, Ted Watanabe Jun 1995

Constructivism, Mathematics Education And Christianity, Ted Watanabe

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1995

In this paper, I briefly describe what constructivism is and its implications in the field of mathematics education. I will then discuss what this epistemology may mean to Christians who are in the field of mathematics education

Statistics, Mathematics, And Teaching, David S. Moore Jun 1995

Statistics, Mathematics, And Teaching, David S. Moore

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1995

In discussing our teaching, we may focus on content, what we want our students to learn, or on pedagogy, what we do to help them learn. These two topics are of course related. In particular, changes in pedagogy are often driven in part by changing priorities for what kinds of things we want students to learn. It is nonetheless convenient to address content and pedagogy separately. Pedagogy, certainly the less specific of the two, is the topic of my second paper. This paper concerns content, and in particular contains one side of a conversation between a statistician and mathematicians …

Mathematics From The Viewpoint Of Science In Context, Johan Deklerk Jan 1995

Mathematics From The Viewpoint Of Science In Context, Johan Deklerk

ACMS Journal 2004

This is the first of a series of papers presented over several years by deKlerk exploring the notion of how mathematics might be taught from a Christian perspective. In this paper, he introduces the notion of context as the basis for such an approach. He then discusses seven contexts a teacher can employ.
