Hosack, John M. – College Mathematics Journal, 1986
Computer algebra systems are described. Features of such systems and information on MACSYMA, Maple, muMath, REDUCE, and SMP are given. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algebra, Calculus, College Mathematics, Computer Oriented Programs
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1986
Discusses computer solutions for factoring problems. Includes listing for (1) a program that multiplies two user-chosen factors (X-R times X-S) and allows subsequent multiplications by more linear factors and (2) a program which computes P(X)/(AX plus B), where P(X) is a user-chosen polynomial and AX plus B is a user-chosen divisor.

Tall, David – Mathematics in School, 1983
A first computer lesson in algebra is described, with illustrations of programing by students. Standard algebraic notation with BASIC are discussed, and further activities described. The purpose is to use the computer so that it develops a rational understanding of the mathematical concepts involved. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algebra, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Evaluative Thinking
Krist, Betty J. – Viewpoints in Teaching and Learning, 1981
Examples are provided which demonstrate the use of the computer as an instructional aid for the algebra curriculum. While the basic content of an algebra course would remain intact, computer technology can enhance and expand methods of algebra instruction. (JN)
Descriptors: Algebra, Algorithms, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Oriented Programs

Landry, Michael – Mathematics Teacher, 1980
Special ways of using computers as a useful tool in algebra instruction are reviewed, with applications to linear equations featured. (MP)
Descriptors: Algebra, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Mathematical Applications
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Tall, David – Mathematics in School, 1986
A programing approach is described, using numerical methods to draw implicit functions, without solving the relationships explicitly. Several examples are discussed, with programs and printouts included. (MNS)

Fey, James T., Ed.; And Others – 1984
The papers in this report represent the imagination, analysis, and experiences of many people involved in recent curricular studies in secondary school mathematics. It differs from reports that seek broad agreement on conservative, traditional curricula, representing instead the point of view of those working with emerging electronic technology…

Waits, Bert K.; Demana, Franklin – Mathematics Teacher, 1989
An approach to finding the rational roots of polynomial equations based on computer graphing is given. It integrates graphing with the purely algebraic approach. Either computers or graphing calculators can be used. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algebra, Computer Oriented Programs, Equations (Mathematics), Geometric Concepts
McArthur, David; And Others – 1988
Described is the notion of multiple alternative representations of mathematical reasoning, particularly as they relate to algebraic notation and the potential of computers to change representations. Features of a desirable notation for algebraic problem solving are described. This is followed by a description of the RAND Corporation's intelligent…
