An Analytic Study Of Eight-Grade Pupil Performance As Revealed Through The Stanford Achievement Test In Arithmetic, Dominic J. Brungardt
An Analytic Study Of Eight-Grade Pupil Performance As Revealed Through The Stanford Achievement Test In Arithmetic, Dominic J. Brungardt
Master's Theses
The immediate purpose of the study were: (a) to determine how closely the grade equivalents of two-hundred and sixty pupils follow the normal curve ; (b) to plot the results of the one-step problems on a graph with an analytic explanation of the graph ; (c) to place the results of the two-step problems on a graph with an analytic explanation of the graph; to determine what types of error were most prevalent; to discover apparent causes of error ; (d) to make suggestions helpful to teachers for improving pupil achievement.

A Study Of Retention Of Percentage, Fred Dellett
A Study Of Retention Of Percentage, Fred Dellett
Master's Theses
The problem of this thesis was to determine by means of a test the retention of the fundamentals of percentage as shown by beginning eighth grade pupils, who were taught percentage the previous year in the seventh grade. The fundamentals of percentage are here considered as the changing of percents to decimal fractions or common fractions, the reverse procedures, and the three types of problems arising from the relation, base times rate equals part. These quantities, base, rate, and part, are represented in the example, 300 X 12% = 36, respectively. Because of the inherent relationship of decimal fractions and …
A Reorganization In The Continuity Of Subject Matter In Mathematics, Beryl E. Warner
A Reorganization In The Continuity Of Subject Matter In Mathematics, Beryl E. Warner
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis considers a reorganization in the order of arrangement of certain topics in elementary and undergraduate mathematics; i.e. , arithmetic, algebra, plane geometry, solid geometry, trigonometry, analytic geometry, and calculus. Two terms important in the discussion are reorganization, the process of changing the relative position of topics or proofs in mathematics to an earlier or later place in the development of subject matter, and continuity, the logical order of topics arranged according to the need of one to explain the other.
The purpose of the thesis is two-fold; First, to show what arrangement of topics may be desirable; and, …
The Segregation Of Real Roots Of Lower Orders, Ross W. Bland
The Segregation Of Real Roots Of Lower Orders, Ross W. Bland
Master's Theses
The purpose of this thesis is the presentation of the better algebraic methods of the segregation of real roots of equations of lower orders and a brief historical sketch of the advance made in the development of algebra. Mention is also made of a few of the men who have made notable contributions to this field of mathematics and the time, as nearly as it is possible to determine it, when new ideas were discovered.
Linearity In Factor Analysis, Opal Emmons
Linearity In Factor Analysis, Opal Emmons
Master's Theses
The uniqueness of mathematics in that it is a science complete in itself makes it possible to apply mathematical tools to sciences which, in themselves vary widely in content. There is, however, a particular difficulty which must be surmounted. A given mathematical procedure may be valid in the science of mathematics but invalid in another science, such as psychology. The reason for this is that sometimes there is a discrepancy between the implicit assumptions in the field of mathematics and those implicit in the field of application. The purpose of this investigation is twofold: (1) To point out that linearity …
Asymptotic Series, Bernard Martin
Asymptotic Series, Bernard Martin
Master's Theses
The purpose of this thesis is to follow the development of the asymptotic series from the beginning made by Euler, in his solution of problems, to the modern applications of asymptotic series, also to present a definition and an analysis of asymptotic series, explain some different theories of their use, and show the ways in which they find common usage. The use of asymptotic series is a comparative new development in the field of applied mathematics. The divergent series were not used as a method of calculation until Euler showed that they gave close approximations in the solution of problems. …

Methods Of Obtaining Asymptotes, Paul Sweetland
Methods Of Obtaining Asymptotes, Paul Sweetland
Master's Theses
The purpose of this thesis is to present in logical order the more important methods of obtaining asymptotes. In several cases where two or more different methods for obtaining the same type of asymptotes were found the simpler method is given first and then the more difficult method. Most of the simpler methods are based on Analytic Geometry, while the more difficult are based on the Calculus.
A Dictionary Of Mathematical Terms For High School Students, Matilda O. Iverson
A Dictionary Of Mathematical Terms For High School Students, Matilda O. Iverson
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
In compiling and writing this dictionary the needs of the high school student and teacher interested in mathematics have been kept constantly in mind. The mathematics of the high school is perhaps the simplest of its kind and yet very few textbooks carefully define all technical terms as they are introduced. The thoughtful student may turn to an abridged or unabridged dictionary but will find in most cases that the definitions of the terms are vague, often misleading, and in some cases not given.
The words in the vocabulary have been arranged in alphabetical order so that the reference to …

General Steps In The Revolution Of The Calculus From The Time Of The Ancients To The Present, Sister Mary Virginia
General Steps In The Revolution Of The Calculus From The Time Of The Ancients To The Present, Sister Mary Virginia
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation
Mathematics is the most ancient of the sciences, yet it is not surpassed by any in modernity, bu is flourishing to-day at a rate unsurpassed and unapparelled by means of the Calculus. Mathematics is like to a wheel, which has influenced mechanism... Who invented this wheel, is not known but its influence is unconsciously felt by you and me, and the whole world about us in a greater or lesser degree.
The Construction Of Conic Sections By Means Of Pascal's And Brianchon's Theorems, Benjamin Lee Welker Jr.
The Construction Of Conic Sections By Means Of Pascal's And Brianchon's Theorems, Benjamin Lee Welker Jr.
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The discovery of conic sections was made by Menaechmus (375-325 B.C.) an associate of Plato and a pupil of Eudoxus. This discovery, in the course of only a century, raised geometry to the loftiest height which it was destined to reach during antiquity.
History Of Applied Geometry, Evelyn Jackson
History Of Applied Geometry, Evelyn Jackson
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation
Mathematics: Just what does the word mean to us? After a moment of thought many different meanings may present themselves to our minds. At first we are inclined to say that the word mathematics covers a vast field. We are justified in so thinking because mathematics embraces a wide scope of study. Were we to say that it is a science we should place it in its proper genius, for it is truly a science of numbers and space. However, could not the science be the art of calculation or the art of computation?
