The author conducted a survey of the departments requiring a finite mathematics of students in order to determine the usefulness of topics included. Findings showed that the topics covered were generally considered important, with elementary matrix algebra the least popular. (SD)

This paper describes the results of a survey of the mathematics programs in nine community colleges. Variables examined include method of instruction, prerequisites, and emphasis on applications. (SD)

A cultural mini-course in statistics, prerequisite or co-requisite for the regular college statistics courses, is described. (DT)

Described is a basic statistics course developed around statistical surveys which students conduct and analyze. An outline covering suggested classroom procedures and an outline giving directions for the statistics project are included. (DT)

A course entitled Mathematics and the Environment was developed to show the relevance of mathematics to contemporary problems and to increase awareness of the magnitude of environmental problems. (SD)

Presented is a general description of the remedial mathematics programs in the City University of New York institutions. (DT)

A list of topics covered in a first mathematics course for remedial students is given, along with suggested time allotments for each topic. Goals for each of the topics are discussed. (DT)

Reasons for teaching mathematics courses within the vocational technical division of a college are discussed. (DT)

The author describes use of hand calculators and computers in the college classroom. He discusses his philosophy about their use, and presents several problems which are especially amenable to use of a computer with a plotting facility. (SD)

A program of communication between faculty and administrations of two-year and four-year colleges provides for continuity in the mathematics programs of students transferring to the senior institutions. (SD)

A community college course in consumer mathematics is described. Topics covered are briefly discussed. (DT)

The initiation of programs in mathematics held in the physical facilities of industry, the implementation of these programs, and guidelines for establishing the programs are discussed. (DT)
