CALCULUS REFORM PANEL DISCUSSION

"The Effect of Calculus Reform on Student Performance in Subsequent Courses"
Friday, 9:30am-11:00am
Organized by:
Jack Bookman, Duke University
Susan Ganter, American Association of Higher Education
Herbert Kasube, Bradley University

CRAFTY recognizes that the evaluation of calculus reform involves not only students' performance in the calculus, but also their performance in subsequent courses. This panel will bring together faculty who have spent time evaluating such performance as well as (possibly) faculty from client disciplines to discuss how well students who have completed a reformed calculus sequence perform in later courses as well that have traditionally had a calculus prerequisite.

Panelists :
Susan Ganter, American Association of Higher Education
Jack Bookman, Duke University.
Herbert Kasube, Bradley University (moderator)
Judith Baxter, University of Illinois at Chicago
John Polking, Rice University
Norman Webb, Wisconsin Center for Education Research

"CLIENT DISCIPLINES INITIATIVE" PAPER SESSION

"Integrating Mathematics and Other Disciplines"
Thursday and Saturday afternoons.
Organized by:
William McCallum, University of Arizona
Nicholas Losito, SUNY Farmingdale;
Yajun Yang, SUNY Farmingdale.

Papers are invited describing: a) undergraduate courses or programs that are interdisciplinary in nature or b) model examples of how applications of mathematics in other professions can be incorporated into undergraduate mathematics courses. Interdisciplinary courses should have a substantial mathematical component and a direct link to a discipline other than mathematics. Model examples of applications from other disciplines should show how the incorporation of these applications enhances mathematical understanding, and increases the usefulness of the course to students not majoring in mathematics. These other disciplines might include the physical sciences, engineering, the social sciences, the arts and the humanities.
