Harden, Richard C.; Simons, Fred O., Jr. – CoED, 1983
A previously developed program for the HP-41C programmable calculator is extended to handle models of differential and difference equations with multiple eigenvalues. How to obtain difference equation solutions via the Z transform is described. (MNS)

Wilf, Herbert S. – American Mathematical Monthly, 1979
A few examples are discussed of situations where some solution to writing a computer program for an algorithmic problem is immediately evident, but the best solution is some distance away. (MP)

Schultz, James E.; Waits, Bert K. – Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1979
The calculator is used to solve certain formidable equations, which arise naturally and which may be difficult or impossible to solve by standard methods, by a method of successive approximations. (MP)

Wirth, Niklaus – Scientific American, 1984
Built-in data structures are the registers and memory words where binary values are stored; hard-wired algorithms are the fixed rules, embodied in electronic logic circuits, by which stored data are interpreted as instructions to be executed. Various topics related to these two basic elements of every computer program are discussed. (JN)

Davidon, William C. – American Journal of Physics, 1977
Presents new least-squares algorithms that update a fit after each point is entered so trends can be detected promptly as an experiment proceeds. (MLH)

Maurer, Stephen B.; And Others – College Mathematics Journal, 1985
The forum is focused on thinking about and with algorithms as a way of unifying all one's mathematical endeavors. The lead article by Maurer presents examples and discussion of this point. Responses, often disagreeing with his views, are by Douglas, Korte, Hilton, Renz, Smorynski, Hammersley, and Halmos. (MNS)

Wieschenberg, Agnes A. – 1999
This paper proposed the question "How do we teach logical thinking and sophisticated mathematics to unsophisticated college students?" One answer among many is through the writing of computer programs. The writing of computer algorithms is mathematical problem solving and logic in disguise and it may attract students who would otherwise stop…

Fay, Temple H.; Miller, H. Vincent – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1990
Discusses a numerical technique called the method of adjoints, turning a linear two-point boundary value problem into an initial value problem. Described are steps for using the method in linear or nonlinear systems. Applies the technique to solve a simple pendulum problem. Lists 15 references. (YP)

Plagge, Richard – Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1978
Algorithms are developed and presented for the addition and multiplication of positive rational numbers using only their repeating decimal representation. (MN)
Descriptors: Algebra, Algorithms, College Mathematics, Decimal Fractions
Voss, David A. – MATYC Journal, 1978
Several algorithms for solving initial value differential equation problems using the definitions of derivative and integral and a computer are discussed. (MN)
