Abstract
Wayne L. Miller received his M. S. in mathematics in 1965 from Texas Technological University, and is now enrolled in the University of Houston doctoral program in mathematics education. An instructor on both the secondary and community college levels, he has taught mathematics for the last seven years at Lee College, Baytown, Texas. His special interest is in the two-year college mathematics curriculum. The public junior or community colleges in the state of Texas were established by the Coordinating Board of the Texas College and University System as open-door institutions. The open-door policy declares that all persons with a high school diploma or its equivalent, or who are over twenty-one years of age and who could profit from the instruction offered by the institution, must be admitted [2]. Hence most community colleges have students with wide variance in age, ability, interest and motivation. This has caused many of them to offer developmental programs in English, mathematics and reading.
