The Chain Rule Does Not Have to be a Pain Rule

Relational and instrumental understanding of the Chain Rule can help teachers provide students a deeper and more meaningful calculus experience

On the Even Distribution of Odd Primes: An On-Ramp to Mathematical Research

The authors consider a conjecture by Chebyshev in 1853 on the distribution of odd primes among those that are one more than a multiple of four and those three more than a multiple of four—and use technology to explore the cardinality of these subsets. Generalizations are presented for student exploration along with several sources for more in-depth research

Today’s mathematics student: Take two

Current mathematics students are members of Generation Z, a generation proving to be quite different than previous ones. Generation Z has never known a time without Google, nor a time of safety. Generation Z has a declining tendency to even attend college. If they do attend college, their expectations need to be met to keep them engaged in mathematics. Professors will need to adjust pedagogy

Multidimensional Cognitive-Communication Assessment for Concussion

The long-term purpose of this research is to explore an ecologically valid, multidimensional assessment protocol that can identify and characterize persisting yet subtle, cognitive-communication symptoms following concussion
