Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1973
Brief articles on topological regular solids giving a proof of Euler's Theorem and the Regularity Theorem; calculus theorems; including a limit theorem, the Law of the Man, and the Intermediate Value Theorem, applied to catching calves, drunk cowboys, and the border of Montana Respectively; and a discussion of the inequality tan A<A<sin A…

Barbeau, Ed, Ed. – College Mathematics Journal, 1991
This column solicits mistakes, fallacies, anomalies, et cetera, that raise interesting mathematical issues and may prove useful to teachers. Included in this issue are yet another proof that zero equals one and a differentiation that yields three equals two. (Author/JJK)

Palmaccio, Richard J. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1982
A method of using vector analysis is presented that is an application of calculus that helps to find the best angle for tacking a boat into the wind. While the discussion is theoretical, it is seen as a good illustration of mathematical investigation of a given situation. (MP)

Leavitt, W. G. – College Mathematics Journal, 1984
Decimal expansions of fractions are considered. Theorems and corollaries for some properties and for prime and composite denominators are presented. It is suggested that students write computer programs to deliver decimal expansions. (MNS)
