Watkins, Will; Taylor, Monty – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1989
Demonstrates how spreadsheets can be used to implement linear system solving algorithms in college mathematics classes. Lotus 1-2-3 is described, a linear system of equations is illustrated using spreadsheets, and the interplay between applications, computations, and theory is discussed. (four references) (LRW)

Byrkett, Donald L. – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1983
Discusses ways to integrate computers into mathematically oriented classes effectively so that advantages are obtained without increasing detrimental effects. Three sections detail use of computers as experimental tools, to implement and understand algorithms, and to solve realistic size problems. These ideas are illustrated with examples from a…

Slotnick, Robert S. – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1989
Discusses the implementation of interactive educational software that was designed to enhance critical thinking, scientific reasoning, and problem solving in a university psychology course. Piagetian and computer learning perspectives are explained; the courseware package, PsychWare, is described; and the use of heuristics and algorithms in…
