Pizarro, Antonio – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Explains the use of the 3-dimensional analytic geometry method to find values for a field geology problem. Gives a description of the mathematical theory for this method which can be applied to data obtained by drilling as well as open surfaces, and a computer program. (RT)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Analytic Geometry, College Science, Computation

Breneman, G. L.; Parker, O. J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1987
Discusses the possibility of having chemistry students do their own computer programing that could then be used to solve problems in general chemistry. Describes such an effort at Eastern Washington University. Provides examples of some of the student programs and printouts. (TW)

Venugopalan, Mundiyath – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Lists a BASIC program which computes the equilibrium constant as a function of temperature. Suggests use by undergraduates taking a one-year calculus-based physical chemistry course. Notes the program provides for up to four species, typically two reactants and two products. (MVL)
Descriptors: Chemical Equilibrium, Chemical Reactions, Chemistry, College Science

Mandell, Alan; Lucking, Robert – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Discusses programs to provide a knowledge base and use the knowledge in a mode of artificial intelligence. Indicates that two methods of database storage are possible and opts to use a method using many data files while using a small RAM capacity. Lists several programs. (MVL)
Descriptors: Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Processes, Cognitive Psychology, College Science

Donato, Henry, Jr.; And Others – Journal of Chemical Education, 1988
Describes two computer programs used to aid in data analysis: (1) Develops a method for the propagation of error involving the direct calculation of the error in the dependent variable using a spreadsheet; (2) Examines a simple numerical method for solving complex equilibria. Lists a FORTRAN 77 program. (MVL)

Calle, Carlos I.; Wright, Lavonia F. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Lists a program for a simulation of Rutherford's gold foil experiment in BASIC for both Apple II and IBM compatible computers. Compares Rutherford's model of the atom with Thompson's plum pudding model of the atom. (MVL)
Descriptors: Atomic Structure, Atomic Theory, College Science, Computer Graphics

Huber, Thomas P.; Falkenmayer, Karen – Journal of Environmental Education, 1987
Discusses the need for education about soil erosion and advocates the use of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) to show the impacts of human and natural action on the land. Describes the use of a computer simulated version of the USLE in several environmental and farming situations. (TW)
