Peer reviewedThompson, H. Bradford – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1983
This column is designed to share BASIC sub-programs and to show how subroutines and function subprograms may be used to simplify and organize BASIC programing. The yes-no function is defined and programs presented, followed by the multiple-branch function and adding a HELP feature. (MNS)

Peer reviewedGuinan, Tricia; Stephens, Larry – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Considers three questions regarding computer science courses: (1) Can performance be predicted?; (2) Does a solid mathematical background provide the student with an advantage?; and (3) Is gender a factor in performance or aptitude? Reports a strong math background was related to achievement in a beginning course while gender was not related. (MVL)

Peer reviewedMandell, Alan – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1982
Recommendations regarding literacy and the responsibilities of science educators are reviewed. The opportunity for pioneering, base-line research studies on the use of microcomputers in the classroom is viewed to exist. Significant contributions science education can make to computer literacy are noted. (MP)

Peer reviewedMarks, Gary H. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1982
Topics discussed include: (1) what is a simulation; (2) why simulate; (3) when to use simulations; (4) planning for instruction; (5) cautions and limitations; and (6) future developments. Suggests that computer simulation in science is both entertaining and motivating. (MP)
