Presidential statements, congressional hearings, senatorial proclamations, and high-toned media figures have endeavored to enlighten the nation about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) issues.
DARPA, the Defense Department's research agency, has called the decline in U.S. college graduates with degrees in the so-called STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) an issue of "national importance" and one that "affects our capacity to maintain a technological lead in critical skills and disciplines" in the world.
By using a number of examples from an upper secondary mathematics education, these issues deal with the instrumentalization of CAS, and support to students when solving tasks by CAS (i.e. CAS-based task design).
The 2010 AAUW report, Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, reviews these issues and makes recommendations to counteract such inequities in science education.
We are in the process of working out the mathematics and logistical issues of how that might be done and hope to publish this work in the near future.
Building fractional mathematical models for specific phenomena and developing numerical or analytical solutions for these fractional mathematical models are crucial issues in mathematics, physics, and engineering.
A man with degrees from Columbia and Harvard, if he puts his mind to it, should be able to understand the mathematics of the issue in question.
She worked as a pharmacist and was actually very proficient in mathematics so the issue with numbers and calculations was very troubling to her and she was at risk of losing her job.
With President Barack Obama pushing for action on immigration reform "as soon as possible," we may be only weeks away from congressional consideration of the widely touted proposal to "staple a green card" to every STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) graduate degree issued in the United States.
The journal PRIMUS: Problems, Resources & Issues in Mathematics Undergraduate Studies published a special issue on the integration of mathematics and biology in undergraduate education.
