The objectives for a general one-semester college course in mathematics are discussed. The content covered in looking at "traditional" mathematical systems, computers in society, and statistics from a consumer's viewpoint are briefly described. (DT)

This paper is a report on experimental courses in calculus and linear algebra which have been given for the past three years at Swarthmore College. Computing is used to represent the ideas and concepts of calculus and linear algebra and to facilitate their analysis and exploration. APL is used as the notation. (MN)

This article describes a mathematics course in which industrial and governmental problems are addressed, studied, and solved by teams of students working under faculty supervision. (DT)

The organization of a course in recreational mathematics for teachers is described. (DT)

A course in mathematical model-building is described. Suggested modeling projects include: urban problems, biology and ecology, economics, psychology, games and gaming, cosmology, medicine, history, computer science, energy, and music. (MK)

The organization of a self-paced algebra course is described and testing procedures are discussed. (DT)

A sophomore-level course in Applied Mathematics is described, with aims, instructional method, sequence, and evaluation discussed. (MS)

The statement on the mathematics needed by students planning to take collegiate mathematics and the list of recommendations to strengthen the preparation of students for collegiate level courses prepared by a joint committee of the Mathematical Association of America and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in March, 1976, are…

A college course designed to teach students about the mathematics of symmetry using pieces of wallpaper and cloth designs is presented. Mathematical structures and the symmetry of graphic designs provide the starting point for instruction. (MP)

A course on ordinary differential equations preceding multivariable calculus can be made to suit present-day engineering curricula and resolve certain difficulties concerning the undergraduate engineering student's motivation, technical skill, ability to retain and use mathematical material, and potential for further growth. (Author/MP)

This description of a graduate applied mathematics program developed at Hunter College is for students with a liberal-arts background and is suitable to the economic and geographical location of New York City. The components of the program and its success are reported. (Author/MP)

Details are provided of a seminar conducted at Loyola University on the construction and criticism of proofs. The seminar is geared towards sophomore mathematics and computer science majors. It is felt that the approach fills an important need in the mathematics curriculum. (MP)

The topics covered in a mathematics course for preservice secondary-school teachers are described. (DT)

This course combined English language training with guidance and practice in teaching mathematics and represented a joint effort on the part of the English and Mathematics Departments. (MP)

Describes the development of a college mathematics course for liberal arts majors designed to engage students in the mathematical process of making conjectures, testing those conjectures, and communicating the results. Presents six specific learning objectives for the course. (MDH)
