Presents a collection of short items, including: (1) a routine to watch while computer processing occurs; (2) a MSBASIC-to-WORDSTAR translator; (3) an easy by-column printout; and (4) a selection of one-line functions, such as automatic string centering. (JN)

A light box is an apparatus designed to show the logical states of the User Port Pins of a PET microcomputer. Details of this aspect of computer studies are provided to introduce students to the possibilities of microprocessor control. Details of PET User Port interface and sample programs are included. (Author/JN)

This study identified computer objectives based on recommendations of the authoritative accounting bodies, determined whether the typical introductory computer course has these same objectives, and examined the influence of the academic department responsible for teaching the course. Relationships between department and course objectives,…

The use of several features of BASIC programs is examined. Examples of programs and self-tests are included. (MN)

This text is designed to give individually paced instruction in Fortran Programing. The text contains fifteen units. Unit titles include: Flowcharts, Input and Output, Loops, and Debugging. Also included is an extensive set of appendices. These were designed to contain a great deal of practical information necessary to the course. These appendices…

It is noted that there are some integrals which cannot be evaluated by determining an antiderivative, and these integrals must be subjected to other techniques. Numerical integration is one such method; it provides a sum that is an approximate value for some integral types. This module's purpose is to introduce methods of numerical integration and…

Small stand-alone microcomputers can serve as the basis for running a sophisticated general-purpose interactive software system capable of supporting such interactive tasks as computer assisted instruction, word processing, and data processing, as well as other software development. A successful system using the PASCAL programing language is…

Expands on a previous discussion of FORTRAN 77 by describing one of its more powerful innovations--the block IF as the basic implementation for the control structures used in writing structured code. Also shows use of DO-loop as a natural substitute for the black IF in implementing control structures. (JN)

Outlines an articulation program between college and industry. Describes three seminar courses using the college's computer system. Considers the benefits of the program. (Author/YP)

A new approach to teaching COBOL allows the student to test his program on the first or second day of class. (Author/IRT)

Presents data on COBOL syntactical error frequencies and an approach that instructors may use to assist students to avoid errors while learning the COBOL language. (Author)

Discusses a survey on the major problems a college or university is likely to encounter when attempting to integrate computer applications into the business curriculum and a comprehensive plan for such an integration. (Author/IRT)

DELPHI, a time-sharing system developed specifically for introducing engineering students to sound programing principles and practice, is described in terms of user environment, languages, system architecture, and operation. (DT)
