King, Amy C.; Wilson, Joel E. – School Science and Mathematics, 1991
The purpose of this paper is to show, by computer examples, that very different results can be obtained by rearranging selected conditionally convergent series. Computer programs allow the students to select the real number to which they wish the rearrangement to converge. Two computer programs are appended. (KR)

Ayers, Jerry B. – School Science and Mathematics, 1987
Reports on a study designed to analyze six primary science education journals published in 1985 and compares the results with some baseline data collected in 1970. Results indicated that the amount of material being published per year during that period increased, with additional emphasis on methods of teaching. (TW)
