Knowledge Spaces Applications in Education By: Jean-Claude Falmagne Publisher: Springer Print ISBN: 9783642353284, 3642353282 eText ISBN: 9783642353291, 3642353290 Copyright year: 2013 Format: PDF Available from $ 129.00 USD SKU: 9783642353291 The book describes up-to-date applications and relevant theoretical results. These applications come from various places, but the most important one, numerically speaking, is the internet based educational system ALEKS. The ALEKS system is bilingual English-Spanish and covers all of mathematics, from third grade to the end of high school, and chemistry. It is also widely used in higher education because US students are often poorly prepared when they reach the university level. The chapter by Taagepera and Arasasingham deals with the application of knowledge spaces, independent of ALEKS, to the teaching of college chemistry. The four chapters by Albert and his collaborators strive to give cognitive interpretations to the combinatoric structures obtained and used by the ALEKS system. The contribution by Eppstein is technical and develops means of searching the knowledge structure efficiently.
