Use of the computer programs provided here in APL programming language can help students understand computational algorithms. (SD)

In a thesis written for the Doctor of Arts in Mathematics, the connection between Euclid's algorithm and continued fractions is developed and extended to n dimensions. Applications to computer sciences are noted. (SD)

The author proposes that computer programs which are designed to make algorithmic structures accessible and comprehensible be employed as advance organizers in mathematics instruction. These programs would bring clarity and structural integration to mathematical, instructional, and cognitive structures important to the mastery of mathematical…

In this paper, prepared for a European conference on mathematics education, the author examines three types of computer use in undergraduate and high school classrooms: Using the computer as an instructional tool for student development of algorithms, teaching about the computer itself, and use of computer-assisted instruction.
