| Summary: | 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. | |
