By David Bressoud| Mathematical Association of America (MAA)@ The survey, which can be found in Appendix B, pages 54–57, consists of fifteen clusters of statements expressing beliefs about mathematics or sense of belonging within a mathematical community, each cluster containing three to five statements. Students are asked to rate each statement on a Likert scale of 1 to 6 from strongly disagree to strongly agree. A neutral position is not possible. The first set of clusters probes student understanding of the nature of mathematics

Measuring the blur indicates that the ball moved 0.572 inches, resulting in a speed of 1144 inches per second, or a suspiciously precise 65 mph. Clearly, the speed of the baseball is not going to change very much over that 1/2000th of a second. For all practical purposes, 65 mph can be given as the instantaneous rates of change
