Levine, Deborah – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1983
The Euclidean algorithm for finding the greatest common divisor is presented. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algorithms, College Mathematics, Computation, Higher Education

Sher, David B. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1996
Describes the development of a method of generating problems that are easy to present in classroom settings because all the important points to be graphed are single-digit integers. Uses an algorithm that generates intersection problems that fit the criteria. A proof of the algorithm is included. (DDR)
Descriptors: Algebra, Algorithms, Equations (Mathematics), Functions (Mathematics)

Givan, Betty; Karr, Rosemary – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1988
The author presents two examples of lattice multiplication followed by a computer algorithm to perform this multiplication. The algorithm is given in psuedocode but could easily be given in Pascal. (PK)

Schmalz, Rosemary – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1987
Presented are the mathematical explanation of the algorithm for representing rational numbers in base two, paper-and-pencil methods for producing the representation, some patterns in these representations, and pseudocode for computer programs to explore these patterns. (MNS)

Dobbs, David E.; Peterson, John C. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1997
Presents several types of functions which fit a given set of data and create opportunities for classroom discussion comparing different kinds of functions and identifying some of the potential hazards associated with extrapolation from best-fit functions. (DDR)
