A program has been written for the interactive computer graphics facility at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute that is designed to assist the user in learning the mathematical technique of convolving two functions. Because convolution can be represented graphically by a sequence of steps involving folding, shifting, multiplying, and integration, it…

Microcomputer software in language arts and mathematics available for use with the first grade curriculum was located, previewed, and evaluated. To obtain a sampling of educational software, a letter requesting all available first grade materials was sent to 50 companies. Of these, 32 companies responded, and 17 had such material. Following the…
