ISO 11179 Compliance Analysis
Scoring Criteria
Each definition was evaluated on four criteria (25 points each):
- Precision: Accurately captures the concept's meaning in calculus context
- Conciseness: Brief and direct (target: 20-50 words)
- Distinctiveness: Unique and distinguishable from other definitions
- Non-circularity: Uses simpler, defined terms; no circular chains

Delta Integration
Several definitions incorporate Delta's perspective to make abstract concepts tangible:
- Acceleration: "In Delta's world, acceleration tells her whether she's speeding up or slowing down..."
- Concave Up/Down: References Delta's physical experience on curves
- Critical Point: "Delta calls these 'flat spots worth investigating.'"
- Instantaneous Velocity: "Delta's 'tilt' at any instant is her instantaneous velocity!"
Delta Moments: 4 definitions enhanced with Delta references
Quality Flags
Definitions Flagged for Review: 0
All definitions meet quality thresholds.
Potential Improvements
- Series (BC): Consider adding more physical/visual examples for abstract convergence concepts
- Integration Techniques: Some students may benefit from more "why this works" explanations
- Polar Coordinates: Additional visual language could help with geometric intuition
Completeness Check
Concept List Coverage
- Concepts in learning graph: 380
- Unique glossary terms: 230
- Coverage: 61%
Note: Many concepts in the learning graph are variations or techniques (e.g., "Left Riemann Sum", "Right Riemann Sum", "Midpoint Riemann Sum") that are consolidated into parent definitions (e.g., "Riemann Sum"). This is intentional to avoid redundancy.
Missing Concept Categories: None
All major topic areas from the AP Calculus curriculum are represented.
Recommendations
Strengths
- Consistent tone appropriate for high school audience
- Strong example coverage (85%)
- No circular definitions detected
- Good balance of precision and accessibility
Areas for Enhancement
- Consider adding more visual descriptions for BC-only polar curve types
- Could expand real-world application examples for differential equations
- Some series convergence tests could benefit from "when to use this" guidance
Validation Checklist
