Improving Student Awareness of the Ability of Mathematics.

Pollin, Jack M.

International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v11 n2 p245-50 Apr-Jun 1980

An approach which seeks to stimulate interest in mathematics by enabling a student to use his knowledge in a nontrivial application is discussed. An example of how the approach was implemented is presented with an assessment of the results as measured by student reactions. (Author/TG)
