Abstract

Discusses the progress and challenges of a new reformed calculus sequence for science, engineering, and mathematics students developed by the Institute of Technology Centre for Educational Programs and School of Mathematics at the University of Minnesota. Compares achievement and retention of Initiative students with a control group from a standard calculus sequence. Discusses student attitudes towards the usefulness of the Initiative's curriculum, pedagogy, and its influence on learning. (Author/ASK)
