Some of the important concepts in recursive programing are detailed, along with how they can be used. Examples are provided to show how to program recursively in BASIC. (MP)

A few basic principles that highlight the design of screen displays are detailed. It is noted that none of the principles will help programing efforts, but efforts at improvement in the direction described is expected to result in a more professionally designed work that users appreciate. (MP)

Presents a program in Level II BASIC for a TRS-80 computer that simulates a Turing machine and discusses the nature of the device. The program is run interactively and is designed to be used as an educational tool by computer science or mathematics students studying computational or automata theory. (MP)

The use of the Prolog programing language is promoted as the language to use by anyone teaching a course in relational databases. A short introduction to Prolog is followed by a series of examples of queries. Several references are noted for anyone wishing to gain a deeper understanding. (MP)

This material provides details on many of the commands available in the Pilot programing language. It is noted that some of the forms described may not be found in individual Pilot systems, but most Pilot implementations will have commands to equivalent things. A list of suggestions for purchase is given. (MP)

Most computer terms are viewed as understandable if approached with common sense. Five sources for the terms are noted. The glossary is not viewed as comprehensive, and suggestions of more complete dictionaries are made. "Computerese" and "cybercrud" are two terms noted to describe the jargon associated with computer technology use. (MP)

A course syllabus and descriptive outline are provided for an introductory, three-credit college course at Lon Morris College, Jacksonville, Texas, covering logical operations and the development of basic algorithmic processes using the BASIC computer programming language. Overall goals, specific objectives, and a brief description of lesson…

Computers are both understandable and controllable. Educators need some understanding of a computer's cognitive profile, component parts, and systematic nature in order to set it to work on some of the teaching tasks that need to be done. Much computer-related vocabulary is discussed. (MP)

This material emphasizes student development of a computer program to keep track of data about people in a neighborhood. The first part involves taking a survey of people and the second part is on entering the information into a program. The use of file structures in BASIC is outlined. (MP)

These modules view aspects of computer use in the problem-solving process, and introduce techniques and ideas that are applicable to other modes of problem solving. The first unit looks at algorithms, flowchart language, and problem-solving steps that apply this knowledge. The second unit describes ways in which computer iteration may be used…

This is a self-study manual designed for freshman or sophomore engineering students who have interest in the organizational and operational concepts of the digital computer, but little or no experience with such computers. The manual gives an introduction to a general purpose minicomputer, Digital Equipments Corporation's PDP-8. (MK)

This program on instruction and programmed student texts for a secondary-postsecondary-level computer system operator course are one of a number of military-developed curriculum packages selected for adaptation to vocational instruction and curriculum development in a civilian setting. Purpose stated for the ten-lesson course is to provide the…
