Dirichlet, Cauchy, Cantor, Riemann, Weierstrass and others, in theirstudy of continuity and convergence of series, invented ingenious, counterintuitivecounterexamples and produced analytical techniques which culminated in Lebesgue’smagnificent theory of integration about 1906.During the 1700’s, developments in mathematical theory were dominated by Leonhard Euler.Euler had more mathematical insight, made more mathematical discoveries and had moremathematical fun than anyone else either before or since except maybe Erdos.

Third, the examemphasizes the importance of the Level-3 competencies to our students and faculty. Students arekeenly aware that retention of knowledge and skills in the core areas is a requirement forgraduation in addition to simply completing required course work. Faculty awareness of theneed to help students learn fundamental concepts is also heightened.Table 2 shows the 18 Level-3 competencies assessed by the exam.

On the survey, 1/22respondents stated that (s)he did not take math in Fall, which is consistent with enrollment data.An additional 3/22 students did not identify a math instructor; two of those answered noquestions beyond those about the EFLC, suggesting that they simply stopped participating in thesurvey.

It is instrumented with an electronic strain-gage based balance for measurementsof normal force, axial force, pitching moment, and pressure distribution as a function of air speedand angle of attack. Both manual as well as electronic pressure sensing is available on thisfacility. An electronic pressure scanning unit containing 32 individual electronic pressuresensors is also used in conjunction with this facility.

However, theviews of Euler on the nature of mathematics differed sharply from the views of the nineteenthcentury mathematicians. In fact, he understood a function to be in the constellation of ideasregarding equations in two variables, curves and tables. To quote David M.
