Bright, George W. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1989
Discussed are the use of probability simulations in a mathematics classroom. Computer simulations using regular dice and special dice are described. Sample programs used to generate 100 rolls of a pair of dice in BASIC and Logo languages are provided. (YP)

Janvier, Claude; Garancon, Maurice – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1989
Shows that graphs can reveal much about feedback systems that formula conceal, especially as microcomputers can provide complex graphs presented as animations and allow students to interact easily with them. Describes feedback systems, evolution of the system, and phase diagram. (YP)

Flores, Alfinio – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Describes two activities to introduce or extend the concept of the natural number e. Students conduct a lottery using either a table of random numbers or a computer simulation to link experimental probability results to the theoretical probability and to the number e. (MDH)
