Peer reviewedKing, Amy C.; Wilson, Joel E. – School Science and Mathematics, 1991
The purpose of this paper is to show, by computer examples, that very different results can be obtained by rearranging selected conditionally convergent series. Computer programs allow the students to select the real number to which they wish the rearrangement to converge. Two computer programs are appended. (KR)

Peer reviewedEasterday, Kenneth; Smith, Tommy – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
Proposes an alternative means of approximating the value of complex integrals, the Monte Carlo procedure. Incorporating a discrete approach and probability, an approximation is obtained from the ratio of computer-generated points falling under the curve to the number of points generated in a predetermined rectangle.
