There was a discussion on this list some time ago about Mathematics, and
especially Calculus, in Biology Education some time ago. Thank you.

Some subscribers to BIOPI-L might be interested in a "Math Education
Bibliography" that was included on pages 42-83 of a recent essay "Can
the Cognitive Impact of Calculus Courses be Enhanced?" [Hake (2013)]
at <http://bit.ly/1loHgC4> (2.7 MB)
The bibliography contains over 400 hot-linked URLs and references,
including:
(a) 3 articles due (or due in part) to Joan Ferrini-Mundy
<http://1.usa.gov/1iQzxNR>, NSF Assistant Director for Education and
Human Resources;
(b) a YouTube talk "Joan FERRINI-MUNDY on STEM Education Research
Areas"; and
(c) 3 articles by MSU Distinguished Professor William Schmidt
<http://bit.ly/tMA3oL>, among them "U.S. students need new way of
learning science" [Schmidt (2012a)]. The latter discusses the PROM/SE
project "Promoting Rigorous Outcomes in Mathematics and Science
Education" at <http://bit.ly/1eCnHUw>.
References in categories a, b, and c are in the REFERENCE list below
preceded by double asterisks**.
An ERRATUM is in order: One of the references in the Math Education
Bibliography section of my essay is "Berkeley Websites. . . ."
[Schoenfeld (2013a)]. Therein I wrote: "A former Berkeley website,
containing links to many of Schoenfeld?s articles, seems to have
vanished from the web." CORRECTION: Over 15 links to Schoenfeld's
articles have recently been made available at <http://bit.ly/1ap7pM9>,
as indicated in the revised reference below to Schoenfeld (2013a).

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do
than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

say it)
