Based on the premise that most engineering students will own their own microcomputers, discusses the teaching of circuit analysis, possible directions to be taken in hardware analysis, and impact on the mathematics related to circuit analysis. (SK)

Describes topics and applications of five lessons dealing with applied mathematics (solving sequential optimization problems, queuing theory, graph theory, glyphs (pictorial techniques for displaying relationships among variables, medical mathematics). Design and evaluation of these materials which employ interactive graphics are also described.…

The role of computers (especially microcomputers) in the mathematics curriculum and suggestions for using them in mathematics instruction are discussed in this yearbook. The 27 articles are presented under five headings. Part 1, Issues, includes articles on comprehensive instructional computing, possible new curricula, and a syllabus for a…

Discusses a software package that allows the user to solve mathematical problems, analyze data, plot graphs, and to examine mathematical models. Presents the attributes of the program and the available mathematical functions. Provides an example of pH calculations. (MVL)

Problems ask students to calculate the pressure against a billboard in high winds and the velocity of water flowing from a reservoir through a cylindrical pipe. Problem solutions incorporate computer tools such as spreadsheets. (MDH)
