Presents a program in Level II BASIC for a TRS-80 computer that simulates a Turing machine and discusses the nature of the device. The program is run interactively and is designed to be used as an educational tool by computer science or mathematics students studying computational or automata theory. (MP)

The problem deals with calculating the probability that two or more students in a given class have the same birthday. A sample of an experiment that can be carried out by hand in a class is first noted. A program written in BASIC and a sample run is then presented. (MP)

Three computer programs are presented that allow the high school student to explore and understand the physical forces involved in orbital flight at a greater depth than is usually possible. For each program, introductory material is given including the physics and mathematics involved. This is followed by the computer program in BASIC language.…

Described is the computer model "MALAR" which deals with malaria and its eradication. A computer program allows the tenth- to twelfth-grade student to attempt to control a malaria epidemic. This simulation provides a context within which to study the biological, economic, social, political, and ecological aspects of a classic world…

Described is the use of the computer model "BUFLO." BUFLO is a simulation which allows students to study the historical and biological reasons for the extinction of the buffalo. BUFLO simulates the natural life cycle of the buffalo and allows the student to manipulate harvesting policies to reach certain goals outlined in the student handbook.…

Describes seven styles of software designed to improve mathematics and science learning: (1) microworlds, (2) educational games, (3) microcomputer-based instrumentation, (4) databases, (5) tools, (6) languages, and (7) simulations. A list of recommended science and mathematics software is presented with suggestions for further areas for software…
