Peer reviewedLevine, Deborah – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1983
The Euclidean algorithm for finding the greatest common divisor is presented. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algorithms, College Mathematics, Computation, Higher Education
Cohen, Don – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
Upper elementary school students created their own algorithms for finding products of whole numbers. The algorithms were similar to familiar ones for finding products involving 9 and 11. (SD)

Peer reviewedSchmalz, Rosemary – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1987
Presented are the mathematical explanation of the algorithm for representing rational numbers in base two, paper-and-pencil methods for producing the representation, some patterns in these representations, and pseudocode for computer programs to explore these patterns. (MNS)

Peer reviewedMongeau, Marcel; Sankoff, David – Computers and the Humanities, 1990
Quantifies and confirms subjective impressions of similarity and differences in musical monophonic scores. Adapts concepts from sequence comparison theory and uses algorithms to define distances between any two melodies created by tone and rhythmic structure. Presents and applies a generalized algorithm for identifying locally similar portions in…
