Schoaff, Eileen; Rising, Gerald – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1990
Describes examples of rational representation as a guide for translating terminology and information encountered in manuals for computers. Discusses four limitations of the representation. (YP)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computation, Decimal Fractions, Mathematical Applications

Mathews, John – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1989
Uses muMATH to illustrate the step-by-step process in translating mathematical theory into the symbolic manipulation setting. Shows an application of a Picard iteration which uses a computer to generate a sequence of functions which converge to a solution. (MVL)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Uses in Education, Mathematical Applications

Leron, Uri; Zazkis, Rina – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1989
Discussed is a project promoting "thinking about what students did" in an Israeli high school. Five examples of the project are described with LOGO commands. Several educational ideas are provided. (YP)
