Lamontagne, Claude; Desjardins, Francois; Benard, Michele – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2007
Managing the pedagogical aspects of the "computational turn" that is occurring within the Humanities in general and the disciplines associated with cognitive science and neuroscience in particular, first implies facing the challenge of introducing students to computation. This paper presents what has proven to be an efficient approach to bringing…

Bridges, Richard – Mathematics in School, 1991
Investigates potential uses for spreadsheets that generate graphical representations, and explores complex sheets that can be used purely as demonstrations, which require far less time and expertise than writing equivalent computer programs. Includes several spreadsheet examples using Microsoft Excel. (JJK)

Sounderpandian, Jayavel – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1989
Discussion of decision analysis and its importance in a business curriculum focuses on the use of spreadsheets instead of commercial software packages for computer assisted instruction. A hypothetical example is given of a company drilling for oil, and suggestions are provided for classroom exercises using spreadsheets. (seven references) (LRW)

Perry, Chad; Euler, Terry – Simulation/Games for Learning, 1989
Investigates the use of personal computer (PC) programs to help participants in simulation exercises transform their experiences into knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Six programs developed at Queensland Institute of Technology are described that involve operations management, strategic management, and macroeconomics. Examples of spreadsheets are…

Watkins, Will; Taylor, Monty – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1989
Demonstrates how spreadsheets can be used to implement linear system solving algorithms in college mathematics classes. Lotus 1-2-3 is described, a linear system of equations is illustrated using spreadsheets, and the interplay between applications, computations, and theory is discussed. (four references) (LRW)

Tohamy, Soumaya M.; Mixon, J. Wilson, Jr. – Journal of Economic Education, 2003
Uses the Specific Factors model to illustrate the meaning of economic efficiency, how complex economies simultaneously determine prices and quantities, and how changes in demand conditions or technology can affect income distribution among owners of factors of production. Employs spreadsheets to help students see how the model works. (JEH)

Adams, F. Gerard; Kroch, Eugene – Journal of Economic Education, 1989
Considers alternative methods for using the computer in the intermediate macroeconomics course. Presents a flexible approach to using computer spreadsheets to illustrate the principal elements of macrotheory. Shows that the ability to fully integrate algebraic, numerical, and graphical presentations with electronic spreadsheets adds a significant…

Ciolfi, Quentin P. – 1992
While most microeconomics curriculums contain no reference to the use of microcomputers, spreadsheet packages adapt well to microeconomics courses. This presentation examines the following topics in the context of a microeconomics course: (1) The Microcomputer Spreadsheet Package--LOTUS; (2) The Spreadsheet Anatomy--cells, commands, menus; (3)…

Oulman, Charles S.; Lee, Motoko Y. – 1990
Monte Carlo simulation is a computer modeling procedure for mimicking observations on a random variable. A random number generator is used in generating the outcome for the events that are being modeled. The simulation can be used to obtain results that otherwise require extensive testing or complicated computations. This paper describes how Monte…

Shaoul, Jean – 1989
A new approach to teaching an introductory accounting information systems course is outlined and the potential of this approach for integrating computers into the accounting curriculum at Manchester University (England) is demonstrated. Specifically, the use of a small inventory recording system and database in an accounting information course is…

Naevdal, Eric – Journal of Economic Education, 2003
Explains how optimal control problems can be solved with a spreadsheet, such as Microsoft Excel. Suggests the method can be used by students, teachers, and researchers as a tool to find numerical solutions for optimal control problems. Provides several examples that range from simple to advanced. (JEH)
