Computational Recursion and Mathematical Induction.

Peer reviewed

Leron, Uri; Zazkis, Rina – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1986

The relation between mathematical and computational aspects of recursion are discussed and some examples analyzed. Definition, proof, and construction are considered, as well as their counterparts in computer languages (illustrated with Logo procedures). (MNS)

Experimental Pi.

Peer reviewed

Corris, G. – Mathematics in School, 1990

Discusses the calculation of pi by means of experimental methods. Polygon circle ratios, Archimedes' method, Buffon's needles, a Monte Carlo method, and prime number approaches are used. Presents three BASIC programs for the calculations. (YP)

Solomon, Cynthia J. – 1976

This document describes how to teach a computer to add numbers using the LOGO programing language. The programing project is described in the way a student might develop it. The model of developing the program uses humans as an anthropomorphic model for the computer, and the computer as a model for people. The document has an unorthodox style, as…
