Use of the computer program "Integrate Using Definition" can help students develop understanding of integral. Several applications of the program are discussed. (MNS)

A hypothetical classroom discussion is used to present concepts and problems students can master. Three computer programs are listed for binomial probabilities. (MNS)

The use of Logo to develop mathematical concepts is advocated. Children's comments as they work with Logo are presented. (MNS)

This book describes how teachers have taught students to behave like working mathematicians who conjecture and prove within a community of learners through the use of microcomputers and the "Geometric Supposers" software. The first section discusses the definition and importance of the conjecture, describes inquiry skills and understandings…

The Optimizer in Quattro Pro and the Solver in Excel software programs make solving linear and nonlinear optimization problems feasible for business mathematics students. Proposes ways in which the Optimizer or Solver can be coaxed into solving systems of linear equations. (ASK)
