Peer reviewedCurley, Walter – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
After a brief discussion of Pascal's triangle and description of four methods of hand construction, the author provides FORTRAN and BASIC programs for computer construction based on recursive definition. (SD)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computer Programs, Curriculum, Instruction
Peer reviewedKimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1987
Microcomputer programs that help students calculate permutations and combinations are developed. Listings of five programs are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Mathematics Instruction, Microcomputers, Number Concepts
Peer reviewedBeevers, B. S. – Mathematics in School, 1983
A method is described for finding those numbers which are both triangular and square (named trisqy numbers). A program for a programmable calculator is given, as well as a proof. (MNS)
Descriptors: Calculators, Mathematics, Mathematics Instruction, Number Concepts
Peer reviewedMcCabe, John; Ransom, Marshall R. – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
A class's struggle with the computer solution of a nontrivial problem is related. The use of algorithms allowed a trial-and-error approach.
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computer Programs, Instruction, Number Concepts
Peer reviewedSorkin, Sylvia – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1984
Newton's method for finding roots of equations is described. How to find complex roots using the BASIC computer language is then presented, with the computer program included. (MNS)

Peer reviewedMaier, Bruce – School Science and Mathematics, 1972
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Geometric Concepts
Peer reviewedKlotz, Frederick S. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1988
Mathematical methods are used to study certain related Logo procedures in detail. Simple procedures with known properties are then used to build the higher-level procedures which correspond to higher-level mathematical concepts. Examples are from introductory aspects of number theory. (MNS)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Software, Higher Education, Integers
Peer reviewedMason, Margie – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
A variety of activities and information about computers and programing are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Fractions
Peer reviewedFriedberg, Stephen H. – College Mathematics Journal, 1984
Two computer programs are given to provide simulations, for any value of n, to keep count of the frequency of the first significant digit. (MNS)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Programs, Computer Simulation, Higher Education
Peer reviewedAustralian Mathematics Teacher, 1988
Examples are given of how calculator-sized pocket computers, which can receive, store, and execute BASIC programs, can be used in mathematics classrooms. (MNS)
Descriptors: Calculators, Learning Activities, Mathematics Instruction, Microcomputers

Peer reviewedTravers, Kenneth J.; Knaupp, Jonathan E. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1971
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computers, Elementary School Mathematics, Mathematical Concepts
Peer reviewedKimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1983
A programing contest was designed to promote interest in mathematical randomness. Student-developed programs making clever uses of random numbers are presented. Modifications users might make are suggested. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Programs, Mathematics Instruction, Microcomputers, Number Concepts
Peer reviewedEng, Marita; Casey, John – Mathematics Teacher, 1983
Explorations of Pascal's triangle through computer programming are described. Programming offers different methods and techniques that enrich the topic. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Programs, Learning Activities, Mathematical Enrichment, Mathematics Instruction
Kennedy, Robert E.; And Others – MATYC Journal, 1980
The authors develop the idea of Niven numbers and discuss their potential usefulness in the classroom. A computer program to generate Niven numbers is provided. (MK)
