Peer reviewedMartin, 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)

Peer reviewedCruthirds, John; Dodd, Fred – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1997
Provides pathological examples for which graphing calculators sometimes give surprising, misleading, or incorrect results. Investigates some of the more interesting of these examples encountered while using the TI-85 in a variety of undergraduate courses including calculus and matrix theory. (DDR)

Eckert, Paul; And Others – 1989
The objective of this presentation is to focus on the use of a hand-held graphics calculator. The specific machine referred to in this monograph is the Casio fx-7000G, chosen because of its low cost, its large viewing screen, its versatility, and its simple operation. Sections include: (1) "Basic Operations with the Casio fx-7000G"; (2) "Graphical…

Peer reviewedDobbs, David E.; Peterson, John C. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1997
Presents several types of functions which fit a given set of data and create opportunities for classroom discussion comparing different kinds of functions and identifying some of the potential hazards associated with extrapolation from best-fit functions. (DDR)

Peer reviewedBaggett, 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…
