For several reasons, Guilford's psychological theory, "The Structure-of-Intellect" (SI), seems a good candidate for relating to the learning of mathematics. The general purposes of this study were to identify SI factors which would be significantly related to achievement in a junior-college mathematics course for non-science, non-mathematics majors and to determine whether semantic factors would be better predictors than symbolic for students classified as having high verbal ability. The two topics in the mathematics course which were selected for study were (1) numeration in other bases and (2) finite systems. / Typescript. / "August, 1975." / "Submitted to the Area of Instructional Design and Personnel Development, Program of Mathematics Education, in partial fulfillment of the requirements of Doctor of Philosophy." / Advisor: Eugene D.
