Peer reviewedSchoaff, Eileen; Rising, Gerald – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1990
Describes examples of rational representation as a guide for translating terminology and information encountered in manuals for computers. Discusses four limitations of the representation. (YP)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computation, Decimal Fractions, Mathematical Applications
Peer reviewedNeidinger, Richard D. – College Mathematics Journal, 1989
Described are several programs that enable the user to evaluate derivatives to order n of any elementary function by using the combination of automatic differentiation method and A Programming Language (APL). Programs calculating first- and higher-order derivatives are presented. Selected APL symbols are appended. (YP)

Sachs, Leroy, Ed. – 1984
The Student Merit Award Program was designed to motivate, stimulate and reward students for their study and achievement outside the mathematics classroom by providing enrichment material on a variety of mathematical topics. In general, these topics are either not found in the standard curriculum or represent a more in-depth study of standard…

Peer reviewedMathews, John – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1989
Uses muMATH to illustrate the step-by-step process in translating mathematical theory into the symbolic manipulation setting. Shows an application of a Picard iteration which uses a computer to generate a sequence of functions which converge to a solution. (MVL)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Uses in Education, Mathematical Applications
Peer reviewedLeron, Uri; Zazkis, Rina – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1989
Discussed is a project promoting "thinking about what students did" in an Israeli high school. Five examples of the project are described with LOGO commands. Several educational ideas are provided. (YP)
Descriptors: Computer Assisted Instruction, Functions (Mathematics), Mathematical Applications, Mathematical Concepts
Peer reviewedScheuermann, Larry – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Provides a short BASIC program, RANVAR, which generates random variates for various theoretical probability distributions. The seven variates include: uniform, exponential, normal, binomial, Poisson, Pascal, and triangular. (MVL)
