Peer reviewedOlson, Alton T. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1993
Presents a series of solution methods to the Eight Queens Problem of placing eight queens on a chess board so that no one queen can capture another. Solution methods progress from empirical approaches to the use of computer algorithms. Geometric transformations are used to find other solutions. (MDH)
