Some Thoughts on the Educational Process Available to Purchase

This paper analyzes the educational process, using graphical methods wherever possible. In its simplest aspect education is represented by a growth curve. If restricted to a single subject the curve is a two-dimensional one and may include both learning and forgetting. The mechanism of learning appears to be quite different for accumulative subject matter such as mathematics or physics from that in nonaccumulative fields such as political theory or business management. Combining the learning curves for several subjects one obtains an educational pattern which may be directly related to particular job requirements or to college admission requirements.
