Reiter, Harold; Ritchie, David – College Mathematics Journal, 1989
This article develops an algorithm to find all solutions to the problem, making all sums of a hexagram's nine lines the same. It shows how to exploit the geometric structure of the hexagram and its group of automorphisms. (YP)

Dewdney, A. K. – Scientific American, 1989
Discussed are three examples of computer graphics including biomorphs, Truchet tilings, and fractal popcorn. The graphics are shown and the basic algorithm using multiple iteration of a particular function or mathematical operation is described. An illustration of a snail shell created by computer graphics is presented. (YP)

Eubank, Philip T.; Barrufet, Maria A. – Chemical Engineering Education, 1988
Describes an algorithm that provides more rapid convergence for more complicated forms of phase separation requiring the use of a digital computer. Demonstrates that this "inside-out" algorithm remains efficient for determination of the equilibrium states for any type of phase transition for a binary system. (CW)

Tew, E. James, Jr. – 1985
The purpose of this practicum was to determine if adult students engaged in training for high technology jobs can realize a time savings if customary or metric units of measure are used for practical mathematical calculations. Two quizzes were developed, and validated, using customary and metric units for the same type of problem, and the time to…
