Peer reviewedNewell, G. J.; MacFarlane, J. D. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1985
Presents sports-oriented examples (cricket and football) in which Monte Carlo methods are used on microcomputers to teach probability concepts. Both examples include computer programs (with listings) which utilize the microcomputer's random number generator. Instructional strategies, with further challenges to help students understand the role of…

Peer reviewedWalton, Karen D.; Walton, Zachary D. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1992
Examines the use of the computer to approximate the value of the definite integral normally calculated by mathematical means. Presents four examples using BASIC programs to approximate single and double integrals by numerical integration and the Monte Carlo method. Programs are provided. (MDH)

Peer reviewedMaeshiro, Asatoshi – Journal of Economic Education, 1996
Rectifies the unsatisfactory textbook treatment of the finite-sample proprieties of estimators of regression models with a lagged dependent variable and autocorrelated disturbances. Maintains that the bias of the ordinary least squares estimator is determined by the dynamic and correlation effects. (MJP)

PDF pending restorationNicely, Robert F., Jr., Ed.; Sigmund, Thomas F., Ed. – 1986
One of the strengths of the Pennsylvania Council of Teachers of Mathematics (PCTM) is that it gives mathematicians and mathematics educators the opportunity to exchange and contribute to each other's professional growth. The topic for each yearbook is chosen to coincide with the annual PCTM meeting. This 1986 yearbook contains 17 articles related…
