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

Travis, David L. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1983
A student noticed an interesting fact about the base two numerals for perfect numbers. Mathematical explanations for some questions are given. (MNS)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computers, Higher Education, Mathematics

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)
