Peer reviewedWilf, 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)

Peer reviewedCurley, Walter – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
After a brief discussion of Pascal's triangle and description of four methods of hand construction, the author provides FORTRAN and BASIC programs for computer construction based on recursive definition. (SD)

Barnett, Bruce – Creative Computing, 1979
A computer program in BASIC is presented, with the underlying algorithm explained, for multiplying any two multi-digit numbers and obtaining an exact answer. (MP)

Peer reviewedMcCabe, John; Ransom, Marshall R. – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
A class's struggle with the computer solution of a nontrivial problem is related. The use of algorithms allowed a trial-and-error approach.

Hart, Maurice – Mathematics Teaching, 1977
The aim of this article is to identify the natural relationships that exist between using computer programming in BASIC, and some particular mathematical concepts. Specific examples are given for use by the mathematics teacher who has the necessary facilities available. (MN)

Peer reviewedGunzenhauser, R. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1975
In this paper, prepared for a European conference on mathematics education, the author examines three types of computer use in undergraduate and high school classrooms: Using the computer as an instructional tool for student development of algorithms, teaching about the computer itself, and use of computer-assisted instruction. (SD)

Peer reviewedBishop, W. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1976
The merits of having students interact with the computer rather than use canned programs to solve problems are discussed. Examples are provided. (SD)
