  5. The Impact of Taking a College Pre-Calculus Course on Students' College Calculus Performance

    Gerhard Sonnert & Philip M. Sadler

    Poor performance on placement exams keeps many US students who pursue a STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) career from enrolling directly in college calculus. Instead, they must... More

  7. Tribonacci-Like Sequences and Generalized Pascal's Pyramids

    Giuseppina Anatriello & Giovanni Vincenzi

    A well-known result of Feinberg and Shannon states that the tribonacci sequence can be detected by the so-called "Pascal's pyramid." Here we will show that any tribonacci-like... More
