The primary purpose of this study was to investigate experimentally the following questions: (1) What is the relative effectiveness of the vector approach and the traditional approach to teaching certain topics in plane analytic geometry to high school students in terms of achievement and understanding? (2) Does teaching these topics in plane analytic geometry via vectors produce more transfer to other topics in analytic geometry (mainly solid analytic geometry) than teaching these topics via the traditional approach? / Typescript. / "December, 1968." / "Submitted to the Department of Mathematics Education in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy." / Advisor: E. D. Nichols, Professor Directing Dissertation. / Includes bibliographical references.
