Statistical Tests of the Apple IIe Random Number Generator Yield Suggestions from Generator Seeding.
Gleason, John M. – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1988
Discusses flaws in the Apple IIe Applesoft random number generator, RND, and reports results of frequency and serial correlation tests of the generator. Suggestions of seeds that yield sequences of numbers which pass fundamental screening tests for randomness are presented. (Author/LRW)

Peer reviewedJanke, Robert W.; Pilkey, Peter J. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1985
Found that there was significantly improved achievement of students whose teachers received diagnostic error information from a microcomputer program compared to teachers who did not receive such information. Explanations for the improved achievement and implications for mathematics instruction are addressed. (JN)
