Ten Dyke, Richard P. – Creative Computing, 1982
A traditional question is whether or not computers shall ever think like humans. This question is redirected to a discussion of whether computers shall ever be truly creative. Creativity is defined and a program is described that is designed to complete creatively a series problem in mathematics. (MP)

Shore, M. L. – Creative Computing, 1980
There are many uses for the shortest path algorithm presented which are limited only by our ability to recognize when a problem may be converted into the shortest path in a graph representation. (Author/TG)

Hart, Maurice – Mathematics Teaching, 1977
The aim of this article is to identify the natural relationships that exist between using computer programming in BASIC, and some particular mathematical concepts. Specific examples are given for use by the mathematics teacher who has the necessary facilities available. (MN)

Elliott, Portia C. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1978
The author proposes that computer programs which are designed to make algorithmic structures accessible and comprehensible be employed as advance organizers in mathematics instruction. These programs would bring clarity and structural integration to mathematical, instructional, and cognitive structures important to the mastery of mathematical…

Stolarz, Theodore J. – 1979
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…
