1974
College teachers attending an NSF-sponsored summer workshop (1974) produced a series of films showing computer displays of mathematical problems and phenomena. These instructional materials are organized into four units: (1) functions and graphs; (2) analysis; (3) probability, statistics, and simulation; and (4) mathematical models. They are keyed…

Peer reviewedSloyer, Clifford; Smith, Lynn H. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1983
Describes topics and applications of five lessons dealing with applied mathematics (solving sequential optimization problems, queuing theory, graph theory, glyphs (pictorial techniques for displaying relationships among variables, medical mathematics). Design and evaluation of these materials which employ interactive graphics are also described.…

Peer reviewedDawson, John W., Jr. – PRIMUS, 1991
Described are the inexpensive construction and the suggested classroom applications of three different demonstration devices, as alternatives to the use of computer graphics, for displaying the conic sections. These devices are the simplified string model, the stroboscopic cone generator, and the capillary hyperbola. (JJK)
