Programs which compute values for the nth power of 2 where n is very large and for fractions, with a great deal more precision than is normally possible for a computer, are listed. (TG)

Lists and explains a computer program written in BASIC which calculates teacher salaries using a salary index. Modification of this payroll program is suggested as a student project in schools which teach computer programing. (JJD)

Discusses approach to integrating computer programing into a calculus-based physics survey college course which stresses three major uses of computers: data reduction, calculation, and simulation. An initial programing exercise and practical constraints--time a student can allot to course and student's level of confidence--are mentioned. (EJS)

A brief history of computers, a description of uses, and a disucssion of various types available are all given. Specific examples where the computer may be used to help teach mathematics are presented with some sample programs explained. A selected annotated bibliography is included. (LS)

Some insights are provided into techniques for removing the mystery of how calculators evaluate functions. (Author/MK)

Described is the use of an interactive terminal-oriented computing system that has access to files of thermodynamics data. (Author/SA)

A framework is presented for integrating use of a microcomputer into a statistics unit. Descriptions of some programs suitable for the Apple microcomputer and ideas for lessons are included. (MNS)

Increased student involvement with the computer at Delta State University, Mississippi, is considered. The university purchased a new computer, NCR Criterion, with six terminals and time-sharing BASIC. Two of these terminals are located in the Department of Physical Sciences, with the others located in the School of Business and in the University…
