Peer reviewedLeron, Uri; Zazkis, Rina – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1986
The relation between mathematical and computational aspects of recursion are discussed and some examples analyzed. Definition, proof, and construction are considered, as well as their counterparts in computer languages (illustrated with Logo procedures). (MNS)
Descriptors: Computation, Computer Oriented Programs, Induction, Mathematical Concepts
Peer reviewedCollis, Betty – Mathematics Teacher, 1983
A framework is presented for integrating use of a microcomputer into a statistics unit. Descriptions of some programs suitable for the Apple microcomputer and ideas for lessons are included. (MNS)
