This interview reviews Don Knuth's life and contributions and his views on a variety of mathematical and computer-related topics. He is viewed as the pre-eminent scholar of computer science in the world, and is probably best known for a series of books titled, "The Art of Computer Programing." (MP)

A discussion of computer education in Great Britain and an example of a BASIC program are presented. (MM)

This report describes an undergraduate program designed to produce mathematicians who will know how to use and to apply computers. There is a core of 12 one-semester courses: five in mathematics, four in computational mathematics and three in computer science, leaving the senior year for electives. The content and spirit of these courses are…

A discussion of computer errors and round-offs is given with the conclusion that attempts to get rid of these almost always result in generating more errors. (MN)

The history of computer use in education as a problem solving tool is briefly traced; suggestions are made for teacher training in the computer sciences. (DT)

The author argues that programs to prepare the casual computer user are needed. Too much emphasis has been placed on thorough understanding of the working of the machine, and not enough on general principles of man-machine interaction. (SD)

Methods of presenting a course on computers for average ability high-school students are outlined briefly. (DT)

This manual describes the LOGO system implemented for the PDP 11/45 at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. The "system" includes a LOGO evaluator, a dedicated time-sharing system, and various special devices related to output such as robot turtles, tone generators, and cathode ray tube displays. (Author/SD)

This manual provides a brief description of the primitives in the computer language PDP 11 LOGO. It is intended to provide a quick reference for users who are familiar with the basics of the LOGO language. (Author/SD)

Written for secondary students, this booklet provides an introduction to several computer-related concepts through a set of six classroom games, most of which can be played with little more than a sheet of paper and a pencil. The games are: 1) SECRET CODES--introduction to binary coding, punched cards, and paper tape; 2) GUESS--efficient methods…

This manual provides brief descriptions of the primitives and is the PDP11 implementation of the LOGO language. It is intended as a quick reference for users familiar with the LOGO language. (SD)

Modern sophisticated computers are shown to multiply the same way the ancient Egyptians did more than 4000 years ago--by doubling and adding. (MN)

John G. Kemeny, co-author of the BASIC programing language and co-developer of the Dartmouth Time-Sharing System, is interviewed. He responds to questions on computer languages, the role of computer science, future uses of computers, and mathematics instruction. (MP)

A teaching strategy for problem solving with computers is detailed. The approach provides a "midline" level of help that encourages exploratory activity yet provides enough guidance to increase chances of pupil success. (MP)
