Peer reviewedHosack, John M. – College Mathematics Journal, 1986
Computer algebra systems are described. Features of such systems and information on MACSYMA, Maple, muMath, REDUCE, and SMP are given. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algebra, Calculus, College Mathematics, Computer Oriented Programs
Peer reviewedGantner, T. E. – College Mathematics Journal, 1984
An efficient division algorithm is developed, using a computer program, to convert any positive fraction to its decimal representation. The computer program listing is included. (MNS)

Peer reviewedReiter, Harold; Ritchie, David – College Mathematics Journal, 1989
This article develops an algorithm to find all solutions to the problem, making all sums of a hexagram's nine lines the same. It shows how to exploit the geometric structure of the hexagram and its group of automorphisms. (YP)

Peer reviewedSmall, Don; And Others – College Mathematics Journal, 1986
Computer algebra systems (such as MACSYMA and muMath) can carry out many of the operations of calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. Use of them with sketching graphs of rational functions and with other topics is discussed. (MNS)
