Described is an experience in assigning mathematics problems that have been purposefully selected from professional journals to assist upper level college mathematics students in developing confidence in their ability to contribute published solutions. Several examples are included. (JJK)

Develops a general computer algorithm to obtain a magic square having a number of rows that is a multiple of four. Presents a BASIC program and sample runs. (YP)

A mathematics course using programmable calculators, which was part of a summer enrichment program for upper elementary and junior high students, is described. (MK)

The instruction of BASIC programing to gifted and other interested pupils from fifth through eighth grades in Tempe, Arizona is described. Sample assignments and major recommendations for people planning to begin BASIC programing courses for elementary students are featured. (MP)

Discusses a structured approach to teaching computer programing in secondary schools. The approach can be used in an introductory computer programing (literacy) course or as a method to teach computer programing in traditional mathematics courses. Two sample lesson summaries (related to temperature conversions) are included. (JN)

Describes several phenomena in which interesting properties of numbers are demonstrated. Includes discussions of amicable, perfect, and sociable numbers. Presents computer programs for conducting a number chain search. (RT)
