Chapter 5 in Shaping the Future of Business Education, 2013, pp 72-82 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract College courses in mathematics and statistics, particularly those in the first years of the undergraduate curriculum, are increasingly being taught to emphasize conceptual understanding. The mechanical calculations that previously dominated such courses can now be readily and effectively done by technology, freeing instructors to develop each student’s conceptual thinking and problem-solving skills. Statistics education, in particular, has seen a well-documented shift toward the teaching of concepts in the context of applications that matter in business or society.
