Peer reviewedJones, Ronald D.; And Others – Business Education Forum, 1979
Proposes that the first computer language course for students of management should teach the reading of the language rather than the writing of programs in that language. "Reading" means the study of the programing language literature, including a variety of algorithms, to understand the language, inputs, and program use. (MF)

The uses of programable calculators in the mathematics classroom are presented. A discussion of the "microelectronics revolution" that has brought programable calculators into our society is also included. Pointed out is that the logical or mental processes used to program the programable calculator are identical to those used to program…
