Martin, Rosario; Tortosa, Leandro – International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, 1999
Presents an algorithm to compute the critical path in a graph representing a project evaluation research task. Once the algorithm is executed, the last matrix obtained permits the visualization of some important information which leads to the determination of the weight of the critical path. (Author/MM)

Baggett, Patricia; Ehrenfeucht, Andrzej – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1992
Examines the issue of how calculators and computers can best be used in mathematics education. Contends that practicing a procedure is noncognitive and does not produce learning. Suggests utilizing customized computerized tools in schools for getting answers to algorithmic problems instantly, thus allowing teachers to explain and students to…

Cornu, Bernard, Ed.; Ralston, Anthony, Ed. – 1992
In 1985 the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) published the first edition of a book of studies on the topic of the influence of computers on mathematics and the teaching of mathematics. This document is an updated version of that book and includes five articles from the 1985 ICMI conference at Strasbourg, France; reports…
