This material is intended as a programmer's reference for the software package contained in the MTS file K033:CKLIB for use with a Computek terminal. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with FORTRAN programing in MTS and is acquainted with the Computek terminal. (MK)

The Graphic Terminal Display System (GTDS) was created to support research and development in computer-assisted instruction (CAI). The system uses an IBM 360/50 computer and interfaces with a large-screen graphics display terminal, a random-access slide projector, and a speech synthesizer. An authoring language, GRAIL, was developed for CAI, and…

The bibliography contains 308 abstracts of unclassified Rand studies dealing with various aspects of computing technology. The studies selected have all been issued during the period January 1963 through August 1971. The intention is to revise the bibliography at periodic intervals to incorporate new publications. Both subject and author indexes…

The current use of microcomputers in the British educational system seems dogged by a mainframe philosophy. As a consequence, the educational potential of microcomputer peripherals has not been carefully considered. Research is urgently needed in this area so that decisions are made on strong educational and technical grounds. (Author/LLS)

Author describes a new use for a computer in a computer-aided graphics course. (PG)

Presents a justification of the belief that science and art can be successfully combined. The computer's merits are viewed as a potential modelbuilder for the formalization of aesthetic concepts. The rest of the paper details recent and current research on such uses of the machine. (VT)

Using a computer to compute, describe, and communicate to students their progress in a college course. (RA)

The application of Bezier polynomials in computer graphics to generate curves and surfaces is presented. The use of these curves to aid in the design of automobiles is featured, and a BASIC program designed to draw a simple caricature is included. (MP)

This manual contains the procedures to teach the relatively inexperienced author how to enter and process graphic information on a graphics processing system developed by the Training Analysis and Evaluation Group. It describes the illustration processing routines, including scanning graphics into computer memory, displaying graphics, enhancing…

The currently operational version of the INGRES data base management system gives a relational view of data, supports two high level, non-procedural data sublanguages, and runs as a collection of user processes on top of a UNIX operating system. The authors stress the design decisions and tradeoffs in relation to (1) structuring the system into…

An electronics graphic symbol set for on-line construction of electrical and electronics schematic diagrams is described. Specific procedures involving off-line and on-line activities are presented for the development and entry of schematic diagrams utilizing a stored set of symbols. An example of the commands and coding required for the…

Describes a computer program that computes field lines and equipotential surfaces for a wide range of field configurations. Presents the mathematical technique and details of the program, the input data, and different modes of graphical representation. (MLH)

Some experiences with a classroom computer graphics facility are recounted to show how such a facility has changed the views of some instructors teaching mathematics at the college level. Teachers are encouraged to search out and seize opportunities to acquire graphics hardware, with the added teaching capabilities promoted. (MP)

The nature of instruction in a computer club that is open only to seventh to ninth graders is detailed. The club has access to five TRS-80 Model II computers, and membership is limited. Students are instructed from the beginning in graphics. Examples of program assignments are listed. (MP)
