Peer reviewedO'Neill, M. J. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1986
Some limitations of computing with calculators and computers are described, with particular reference to typical computations which might be performed by senior secondary school students. Types of errors, the laws of number, and intermediate round-offs are each illustrated, with conclusions and implications. (MNS)
