Going Around, Under and Through Circles: Mathematics and Computer Art. Part 3.
Gordon, Sheldon P.; Gordon, Florence S. – Creative Computing, 1984
Epicycloids are formed by tracing the path of a fixed point on a circle as it rolls aroung the outside of a larger circle. Examines several possibilities related to epicycloids (and hypocycloids), presenting more mathematical patterns and artistic shapes that result from using several computer programs. Program listings are included. (JN)

Going Around On Circles: Mathematics and Computer Art. Part 2.
Gordon, Sheldon P.; Gordon, Florence S. – Creative Computing, 1984
Discusses properties of epicycloids. (The easiest way to picture them is to think of a piece of radioactive bubble gum attached to a wheel which is rolling around the outside of a larger wheel.) Includes a computer program (TRS-80 color computer) that will graph any epicycloid with integer values for the radii. (JN)

Animath.
Wright, Jerry; Ollman, Lloyd, Jr. – Creative Computing, 1982
Presents a computer program (Atari basic) called Animath (animated math program). A modified character set is to create a sauntering gorilla who, for example, jumps up and down when a problem is correctly solved. Extensive documentation is included. (JN)

Individual Graphing of Mathematical Functions.
Schiffer, Doug; Brooks, Sarah – Creative Computing, 1980
Presented are two computer programs which can be used to minimize the effort and time necessary to graph several individual functions. (TG)

Spectrum, A Colorful Look at Math Functions.
Shaw, Christopher J. – Creative Computing, 1984
Lists and describes a program (Microsoft Basic) which: computes the value of a numberic function of two variables (x/y); uses x/y values to determine a spot on the screen; uses the function value to designate a color; and displays the color at the proper spots on the screen. (JN)

Mentor Master and the Game Show: It's Academic.
Glenn, Patricia D. – Creative Computing, 1982
Reviews an authoring system for courseware development (Applesoft Basic) consisting of a programed template allowing preparation of instructional units composed of text, questions, and graphics. A higher-priced version includes a game. Geology, oceanography, space science, meteorology, human/plant anatomy, and cells/genetics diagrams are available…

Using Microcomputer Graphics to Train Teachers.
Mathes, Stanley L. – Creative Computing, 1982
It is felt that all the basic programing concepts can be taught by giving students experience with graphics. Students are viewed to be working on problems that truly interest them, rather than on the standard fare presented in most courses. A description of a class and a graphing program are included. (MP)
