Sipser, Kenneth; Sipser, Michael – Creative Computing, 1980
This article gives an overview of the new field of complexity theory which links computer science to mathematics, and ultimately to the solution of theoretical as well as practical problems in society and technology. (Author/MK)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Science, Computers, Mathematical Applications
Piele, Donald T. – Creative Computing, 1982
Four stages of problem solving are believed to occur in programing. Spirolaterals are discussed as specific examples of programing activity that have mathematical and programing interest. The BASIC programing language is used on the Apple II computer to provide examples of possible solutions to the problems posed. (MP)
