... · Applications should motivate theory so that theory is seen by students as useful and enlightening. · Mathematics majors should be offered extensive opportune nities to read, write, listen, and speak mathematical ideas at each stage of their undergraduate study.
From page 56...
... Those who teach college mathematics should seek ways to incorporate into their own teaching styles the findings of research on teaching and learning. · Mathematicians should increase their efforts to understand better how college students learn mathematics.
From page 57...
... · To ensure for all students equal access to higher mathematics education, mathematics departments should work with nearby two-year colleges to maintain close articulation of programs. · Smooth curricular transitions improve student learning and help maintain momentum for the study of mathemat iCS.
From page 58...
... · Mathematics departments should actively encourage extracurricular programs that enhance peer group support among mathematics majors. Renewal · It is important for mathematics departments to help faculty and students recognize their own perspectives on mathematics and understand the perspectives of others.
