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 reviewedNeidinger, Richard D. – College Mathematics Journal, 1989
Described are several programs that enable the user to evaluate derivatives to order n of any elementary function by using the combination of automatic differentiation method and A Programming Language (APL). Programs calculating first- and higher-order derivatives are presented. Selected APL symbols are appended. (YP)
