Peer reviewedPagni, David – School Science and Mathematics, 1988
Presents 12 problems for students to investigate the relationships involving properties of numbers by using BASIC language. (YP)
Descriptors: Computer Assisted Instruction, Mathematics, Mathematics Materials, Mathematics Tests
Peer reviewedGlidden, Peter Lochiel – Mathematics Teacher, 1992
Offers examples of loss of accuracy when using digital computing devices. Discusses causes for loss of accuracy and methods of preventing loss. Presents implications that loss of accuracy has for mathematics instruction. (MDH)

Peer reviewedLamb, John F., Jr. – School Science and Mathematics, 1986
A narcissistic number is a positive integer equal to the sum of its digits raised to an integral power. For example, 15 is equal to 1-cubed plus 5-cubed plus 3-cubed (a narcissistic number of order three). A computer program to find narcissistic numbers up to 10,000 is given and discussed. (JN)

Peer reviewedAslan, Farhad; Duck, Howard – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
P-adic or g-adic sets are sets of elements formed by linear combinations of powers of p, a prime number, or g, a counting number, where the coefficients are whole numbers less than p or g. Discusses exercises illustrating basic numerical operations for p-adic and g-adic sets. Provides BASIC computer programs to verify the solutions. (MDH)
Descriptors: Addition, Algebra, Algorithms, College Mathematics
Rossa, Dean – Computer Science Education, 1991
Presents eight points to emphasize when teaching the concept of place value. Contends that converting numbers from one base to another helps students understand the concept of place value and the importance of context in establishing meaning. Provides a BASIC computer program to make conversions. (MDH)

Peer reviewedNagarkatte, Umesh P.; Nagarkatte, Shailaja U. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1989
Identifies and proves two theorems related to expressing rational numbers in decimal form for any natural base m>1. Includes two BASIC computer programs with sample runs. (MVL)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Computer Uses in Education
Peer reviewedEcker, Michael W. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Describes three games that one can play with or without a computer involving arithmetic, strategy, and problem solving techniques. Lists an abbreviated program for BASIC. Provides information on availability of the variable number game and the ARITHMETICULATOR which does calculations of large numbers and runs on IBM PCs. (RT)
