Kenneth Komoski did some pioneer math programing at Manhattan's Collegiate School, one of the oldest U.S. boys' schools, and in one case 74 students completed in two weeks a highly abstract algebra course that used to take more than two months. A programed course in logic at Hamilton College cut class time by one-third. At Columbia University, one student wrote a perfect.final exam after doing one term...
