Do Advanced Mathematics Skills Predict Success in Biology and Chemistry Degrees?

Do Skills Combine Additively to Predict Task Di culty in Eighth-grade Mathematics?

During the 2004–2005 school year, over 900 eighthgrade students used an online intelligent tutoring system, the Assistment System of He ernan, et al. (2001), to prepare for the mathematics portion of the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) end-of-year exam. A transfer model, identifying the skills that each tutoring task and exam problem depends upon, was developed to help alig...

On the Edge of Mathematics and Biology Integration: Improving Quantitative Skills in Undergraduate Biology Education

The challenges future biologists face dictate a change in the way we prepare undergraduates who wish to pursue a career in the life sciences. In A New Biology for the 21st Century (National Research Council [NRC], 2009), four main challenges are articulated: enabling sustainable food plant growth in changing environments, sustaining ecosystems and biodiversity in rapidly changing environs, expa...

Degrees of Belief and Knowledge in Mathematics

Belief is very often analysed in terms of degrees, and since most human beings experience belief as a matter of degree, this kind of analysis has strong support. Much more controversial is the claim that knowledge, too, may be a matter of degree. The two questions are linked—after all, knowledge is, according to the traditional analyses, a special kind of belief. Many philosophers have analysed...
