Sipser, Kenneth; Sipser, Michael – Creative Computing, 1980
This article gives an overview of the new field of complexity theory which links computer science to mathematics, and ultimately to the solution of theoretical as well as practical problems in society and technology. (Author/MK)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Science, Computers, Mathematical Applications
McComb, Gordon – Creative Computing, 1981
This issue focuses on word processing. This article discusses choosing a word processor. It is noted that the text base of most processors is of the standard letter of manuscript variety, and cautions the consumer to be aware of the limitations of these devices. (MP)

Stone, Deborah – Creative Computing, 1980
Discussed is computer use at High Valley, a small private tutorial school in rural Dutchess County, New York. (MP)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Science Education, Computers, Individualized Instruction
Potts, Michael – Creative Computing, 1980
The need for a strong package of computer software in a computer science-oriented program is discussed. Ways of accumulating software and selective reviews of available computer assisted instruction (CAI) programs are also presented. (MP)
Descriptors: Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Computer Science
McCabe, Jim – Creative Computing, 1980
A parent discusses how he went about acquiring a computer for his child's elementary school through gathering donated parts from several institutions. (MP)
