Rothstein, Jerome – 1977
Addressing the problem of protecting confidential information and data stored in computer databases from access by unauthorized parties, this paper details coding schemes which present such astronomical work factors to potential code breakers that security breaches are hopeless in any practical sense. Two procedures which can be used to encode for…

Tucciarone, John P. – 1977
As part of an introductory computer programming course, students were assigned seven programs selected to expose them to the varied applications of BASIC. Three additional programs were selected by the students themselves from other courses or from topics in the text which had not been covered in class. The topic which seemed to arouse the…

Cote, Leon C.; Smith, Wayland P. – 1973
Several computer programs were developed to solve various versions of the quadratic capacitated facilities location problem. Matrices, which represent various business costs, are defined for the factors of sites, facilities, customers, commodities, and production units. The objective of the program is to find an optimization matrix for the lowest…

Spero, Samuel W. – 1977
The instructional strategy described was used to incorporate both the computer and the hand calculator into trigonometry courses at an Ohio community college. The computer was used to generate different problem sets for individual students and, at the same time, solution sets for the instructor. The students were required to use calculators to…
