ABSTRACT
The GAMT project is funded by the National Science Foundation. Our work is
divided into three categories:
- Empirical research in student learning in Linear Algebra
- Curriculum development in precalculus
- Theoretical research on mathematical ways of thinking
The precalculus development team is working to develop a model for new
precalculus curriculum. We will not be developing a full curriculum for
publication. Instead, we are outlining the themes around which units might be
organized, and then developing one of those units.
