Wong, Khoon Yoong – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1990
Describes a function graphing program's 15 Logo procedures and how they are used in the classroom to study the properties of functions and to develop visual imagery of function behavior. Presents several Logo programs. (Author/YP)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Graphics, Computer Software

Ecker, Michael W. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Describes mathematical problems which occur when using the computer as a calculator. Considers errors in BASIC calculation and the order of mathematical operations. Identifies errors in spreadsheet and calculator programs. Comments on sorting programs and provides a source for Mathemagical Black Holes. (MVL)
Descriptors: Calculators, College Mathematics, Computation, Computer Graphics

Orton, Robert E. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1990
Described is a short program for teaching and learning about geometric transformations. The integration of geometry problem solving and BASIC programing is discussed. Applications of computer graphics are illustrated. (CW)

Lough, Tom; Tipps, Steve – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Offers several LOGO programs to study the behavior of simple nonlinear systems. Suggests that LOGO is an excellent tool for studying chaotic systems. Offers suggestions for different forms of LOGO. Builds upon programs presented in a previous article. (MVL)
Descriptors: Chaos Theory, College Mathematics, Computer Graphics, Computer Simulation

Pizarro, Antonio – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Presents a computer program which prints out a calendar corresponding to any year A.D. and states the objectives for such a program. Shows an example of a sample run. (RT)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Computer Literacy, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software

Thomas, David A. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Discusses dimensionality in Euclidean geometry. Presents methods to produce fractals using LOGO. Uses the idea of self-similarity. Included are program listings and suggested extension activities. (MVL)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Uses in Education, Fractals

Niess, Margaret L. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Considers activities that use LOGO to slide, turn, and flip the "turtle." Uses non-LOGO tools such as cutouts, pattern blocks, and tangrams to enhance the motion work. Provides examples and programs with explanations. (MVL)
