Ideas for computer use are presented. A challenge problem, sources of information, and interesting facts are included. (MNS)

The learning potential of Logo programing language is discussed. Observations of students in kindergarten and first grade interacting with a sequence of Logo activities led to the development of nine benchmarks. (MNS)

Describes an interactive optimization computer game for training resource managers in which the user plays the role of an environmental consultant to an electric utility company. Key components of a typical resource conflict and techniques for determining optimal solutions through linear programing are discussed. Worksheets are included. (BC)

A motivational classroom activity involving mazes, with explorations in the Logo programing language, is described. Use of the Big Trak toy to teach programing is also described. (MNS)

Newton's method for finding roots of equations is described. How to find complex roots using the BASIC computer language is then presented, with the computer program included. (MNS)

The kind of learning experience provided by the LOGO programing language, its efficiency as a learning tool within the school curriculum, and the role of the teacher in the LOGO environment are each discussed. (MNS)

Four stages of problem solving are believed to occur in programing. Spirolaterals are discussed as specific examples of programing activity that have mathematical and programing interest. The BASIC programing language is used on the Apple II computer to provide examples of possible solutions to the problems posed. (MP)

The use of the computer language Logo offers an excellent opportunity to use technology to help develop problem-solving skills and other mathematical concepts. Examples of explorations are presented. (MNS)

Reasons other than utility are needed to justify the place of algebra in the mathematics curriculum for all children. The possibility of considering generalized arithmetic and computer algebra are each discussed. (MNS)

The suggested program is designed for mathematics teachers. It concerns the solution of systems of linear equations, but it does not complete the job on its own. The user is the solver while the computer is merely a computing assistant. (MNS)

A module built around programing the computer is described. It recognizes the need of many children to have algebra introduced in a practical way and to give some concrete meaning to it. (MNS)

APL was invented specifically as a mathematical teaching tool, and is an excellent vehicle for teaching mathematical concepts using computers. This article illustrates the use of APL in teaching many different topics in mathematics, including logic, set theory, functions, statistics, linear algebra, and matrices. (MNS)

This teacher's guide is for a course designed to teach business students the fundamentals of the BASIC language and computer programming using a series of business-oriented programs. Each lesson contains an introduction, flow charts, and computer programs. The six lesson topics are print-out and format control, count-average, withholding tax…

The relation between mathematical and computational aspects of recursion are discussed and some examples analyzed. Definition, proof, and construction are considered, as well as their counterparts in computer languages (illustrated with Logo procedures). (MNS)

Suggested is the presentation of problems for which student teams are to write computer programs which will reveal the results of guesses at the answer by users of the program. Illustrative problems and programs are included. (MNS)
