Peer reviewedLewis, E. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1974
Descriptors: Calculus, College Mathematics, Computer Graphics, Computers
Myers, Roy – Pipeline, 1981
Two packages in computer graphics are described that can represent three-dimensional surfaces in two dimensions. (MP)
Descriptors: Calculus, Computer Graphics, Computer Science, Geometric Concepts
Peer reviewedHiggo, J. R. – Mathematics in School, 1984
Demonstrates how microcomputers can be used in teaching differential calculus, iteration, integral calculus, graphs, and statistics. Several ideas for putting this information into practice are outlined. Sample computer programs are included for the discussions on differential calculus, integral calculus, and iteration. (JN)

Peer reviewedHeid, M. Kathleen – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1988
During the first 12 weeks of an applied calculus course, two classes of college students studied calculus concepts using graphical and symbol-manipulation computer programs to perform routine manipulations. Three weeks were spent on skill development. Students showed better understanding of concepts and performed almost as well on routine skills.…

Peer reviewedGreenwell, Raymond; And Others – College Mathematics Journal, 1987
Reviews for three software packages are given. Those packages are: 20/20 Statistics, Graphing Equations, and COMPUCALC. The first package is a set of programs for use in introductory statistics, the second contains four programs for studying the graphing of equations, and the third contains examples and techniques from calculus. (PK)

Peer reviewedBloom, Lynette M.; And Others – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1987
Presents several ways that the microcomputer can be used as an aid in teaching various topics in calculus, including graphing functions, solving equations, finding limits and derivatives, and solving optimization problems. Emphasizes the use of computer software that tends to maximize the potential of computer graphics in mathematics instruction.…
