A chapter in New Directions in Two-Year College Mathematics, 1985, pp 341-365 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract College mathematics education will be further challenged in the 1980’s by demographic changes, the enrollment of nontraditional students (older people, for example), and by society’s inevitable demands for increased mathematical knowledge and competence. Thus, new initiatives for teaching widely differing student populations must be found and explored. The mathematical knowledge bases required to meet the scientific, technical, vocational, cultural, and functional needs of such varied student populations must also be closely examined. But without proper focus NOW, our approaches to these issues will be inadequate and the benefits will be ephemeral.
