Description
This thesis was prepared out of the necessity for an identification
of the concepts of mathematics used in PSSC physics. First,
a survey of past and current educational journals was used to
establish general mathematical prerequisites for PSSC physics. Then
the necessary mathematical concepts as conceived by the authors of
the PSSC textbook are discussed, with no attempt to state the level
of proficiency required in behavioral terms for the identified
topics. A survey of the literature was made in order to suggest
provisions for the teaching of these concepts. These suggestions
take the form of mathematics-physics curriculum changes such as
integrated mathematics-physics courses, fusion of science applications
into the mathematics curriculum, and the institution of a
mathematics course specifically designed to prepare students for the
study of physics.
