The student might memorize the words but withoutthe principle the idea will not be understood.Functions"Functions are sets of ordered pairs." "Functions are mappings from a domain to a range.""Functions are by definition single valued." These statements may provide good starting pointsfor mathematical proofs, but they fail to convey the idea. I cannot imagine any calculus studentexpressing a desire to study and acquire information about ordered pairs or mappings from adomain to a range. This certainly is not the image in the minds of engineers who use functions.The functions that are meaningful to engineering students are primarily studied in

Also, thetiming of a placement exam can result in improperly placed students. At Boise State it is notuncommon that newly enrolled freshmen took their ACT or SAT one time only, in their junioryear of high school, because their scores at that time were sufficient for admission to theuniversity. Most students in STEM majors (science, engineering, technology and mathematics)go on to take a subsequent math course, resulting in more knowledge than revealed by their ACTor SAT scores. Other students, not destined for STEM majors, may choose to not enroll inmathematics in their senior year of high

Presently, it is not too daring to say that CAD hasconsiderably replaced traditional manual drafting.
