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)

Pagni, David L. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1971
Descriptors: Algorithms, Arithmetic, Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary School Mathematics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Curley, 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)

McCabe, 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)

Gunzenhauser, 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)
