Using MAPLE enables students to consider many examples which would be very tedious to work out by hand. This applies to graph plotting as well as to algebraic manipulation. The challenge is to use these observations to develop the students' understanding of mathematical concepts. In this note an interesting relationship arising from inverse…

A computer program is presented that generates problem sets involving sketching graphs of trigonometric functions using graphical addition. The students use calculators to sketch the graphs and a computer solution is used to check it. (MP)

Theorems about the hyperbola which are ordinarily introduced in calculus courses can be proved without using the calculus. (SD)

Meterological information is used to develop a mathematical function resembling the sine function. (JT)

Using a computer equipped with a plotter, graphs of linear equations and trigonometric identities can be produced. Examination of these graphs can aid in teaching solution of equations. (SD)

Describes a five-step graphing method for various trigonometric periodic functions. Emphases is on teaching constants and functions. (YP)

Argues that while microcomputer and graphing calculators have evolved to a stage where they should be used routinely by mathematics students at all levels, there is sometimes potential to mislead students with computer generated graphs. Examples are included. (PK)

Among teachers of mathematics throughout the world there has recently been manifested a notable increase of interest in all educational work. This interest is due in part to the present general agitation in every educational line, in part to the influence of such related departments as physics, in part to the increased demands of industry, and in…

This article, which is organized around a single, well-known algorithm for root extraction, presents a way of incorporating dynamical systems into the teaching of mathematics. Included are sample exercises using complex numbers and the computer where students have the opportunity to do some analysis on this algorithm. (KR)
