Fofonoff, N. P.; Millard, R. C., Jr. – 1983
Algorithms for computation of fundamental properties of seawater, based on the practicality salinity scale (PSS-78) and the international equation of state for seawater (EOS-80), are compiled in the present report for implementing and standardizing computer programs for oceanographic data processing. Sample FORTRAN subprograms and tables are given…

Peer reviewedGrotophorst, Clyde W. – Library Software Review, 1988
Describes a system that provides online access to holdings information for more than 4,500 journals on a single self-executing diskette. A brief discussion of data compression is offered, along with program listings in both BASIC and C. (MES)

Peer reviewedKiernan, Gerard – College Mathematics Journal, 1985
Provides several algorithms that use extended precision methods to compute large factorials exactly. The programs are written in BASIC and PASCAL. The approach used for computing N considers how large N is, how the built-in limitation on exact integer representation can be bypassed, and how long it takes to compute N. (JN)

Peer reviewedOlson, Alton T. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1986
Presents an example of mathematics from an algorithmic point of view, with emphasis on the design and verification of this algorithm. The program involves finding roots for algebraic equations using the half-interval search algorithm. The program listing is included. (JN)

Peer reviewedHarwell, Michael R.; And Others – Journal of Educational Statistics, 1988
The Bock and Aitkin Marginal Maximum Likelihood/EM (MML/EM) approach to item parameter estimation is an alternative to the classical joint maximum likelihood procedure of item response theory. This paper provides the essential mathematical details of a MML/EM solution and shows its use in obtaining consistent item parameter estimates. (TJH)

Peer reviewedGivan, Betty; Karr, Rosemary – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1988
The author presents two examples of lattice multiplication followed by a computer algorithm to perform this multiplication. The algorithm is given in psuedocode but could easily be given in Pascal. (PK)

Peer reviewedSorkin, Sylvia J. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1991
Presented is a way to provide students with a review and an appreciation of the versatility of pointers in data structures by improvising with binary trees. Examples are described using the Pascal programing language. (KR)

Peer reviewedFilimonov, Rossen; Kreith, Kurt – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1992
Describes the Plane Geometry System computer software developed at the Educational Computer Systems laboratory in Sofia, Bulgaria. The system enables students to use the concept of "algorithm" to correspond to the process of "deductive proof" in the development of plane geometry. Provides an example of the software's capability…
