Gordon, Florence – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1987
Sophisticated simulations using computer graphics can lead to students deducing virtually all conditions of the Central Limit Theorem. Eight graphs illustrate the discussion. (MNS)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Graphics, Computer Simulation, Graphs

Stinebrickner, Ralph – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1983
How a computer randomly generates numbers to turn off lighted blocks on a graphics display is discussed. A computer program is given after reviewing a definition and two theorems and applying them to the problem. (MNS)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Graphics, Computer Programs, Geometric Concepts

Austin, Joe Dan – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1990
Shows a series of Euclidean equations using the Euclidean algorithm to get the greatest common divisor of two integers. Describes the use of the equations to generate a series of circles. Discusses computer generation of Euclidean circles and provides a BASIC program. (YP)
Descriptors: Algorithms, College Mathematics, Computer Graphics, Computer Software

McMillan, Thomas C. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1992
Describes the derivation of the parameters incorporated into computer programs that are utilized to draw hypocycloids, which are the loci of points traced out by a point on a disk as it rolls against a circle and its interior. Includes information to obtain copies of the programs described. (JJK)
