Chapter 5 discusses operations on matrices and vectors, including topics from linear algebra, linear programming, vector calculus, and applying special effects to photos and figures.
For instance, when identifying successful programs in Calculus I, CSPCC looked at, in part, student pass rates, positive affective changes (e.g., in confidence and enjoyment), and intention to take Calculus II (Hsu, Mesa, and The Calculus Case Collective 2014).
Natural deduction has led to the Curry-Howard correspondence and to connections with functional programming, and sequent calculus is often used in systems of automatic proof search, as in logic programming.
Without him, Garfield's calculus program withered.
In 1982, 18 students in the special calculus program that Mr. Escalante had created at Garfield four years earlier took the College Board's advanced placement test in calculus.
The "rushing through important topics" mentioned at the beginning of the article is very much a part of the calculus program.
Characteristics of Successful Programs in College Calculus.
The present study is situated within the larger research project, CSPCC, designed to gain a nationwide overview of college calculus programs.
The data analyzed for this research was collected with support from the National Science Foundation, through the Characteristics of Successful Programs in College Calculus grant (CSPCC, NSF DRL #0910240).
Since mathematics department cultures and calculus programs vary across institutions, it is expected that instructors at the same institution may feel similarly with regard to whether there is enough time for students to understand difficult ideas.
