Kraines, David P.; Smith, David A. – College Mathematics Journal, 1988
The goal was to make the "super blackboard" and "super calculator" capabilities of the computer routinely available to instructors in undergraduate mathematics courses. A good approximation to that goal is described in terms of hardware, display, physical setup, instructors, and software. Alternate solutions and other considerations are included.…

Atkins, John; Geist, Robert – College Mathematics Journal, 1987
The Fibonacci Sequence describes a vast array of phenomena from nature. Computer scientists have discovered and used many algorithms which can be classified as applications of Fibonacci's sequence. In this article, several of these applications are considered. (PK)

Aieta, Joseph F. – College Mathematics Journal, 1987
This article illustrates how questions from elementary finance can serve as motivation for studying high order powers, roots, and exponential functions using Logo procedures. A second discussion addresses a relatively unknown algorithm for the trigonometric exponential and hyperbolic functions. (PK)

Demana, Franklin; Waits, Bert – College Mathematics Journal, 1987
It is argued that microcomputer technology has evolved to the stage that it should be routinely used by mathematics students at all levels. It is shown how the use of microcomputers can change the way problems are solved. Computer-generated graphics are highlighted. (PK)
