Piele, Donald T. – Creative Computing, 1980
Problems are presented that can be solved with a microcomputer which explore the binary, decimal, and hexadecimal number systems and related problems. (Author/TG)
Descriptors: Computer Programs, Computer Science Education, Mathematical Concepts, Mathematics Education
Peer reviewedPetosa, Rita L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
In one school, algorithmic development has been infused in the mathematics curriculum. An example of what occurs in mathematics classes since the teachers began using the computer is given, with two students' conjectures included as well as the algebraic justification. (MNS)

Piele, Donald T. – Creative Computing, 1982
The design of a computer program to efficiently generate prime numbers is discussed. Programs for many different brands of home computers are listed, with suggestions of ways the programs can be speeded up. It is noted everyone seems to have a favorite program, but that every program can be improved. (MP)

Peer reviewedPagni, David – School Science and Mathematics, 1988
Presents 12 problems for students to investigate the relationships involving properties of numbers by using BASIC language. (YP)
Descriptors: Computer Assisted Instruction, Mathematics, Mathematics Materials, Mathematics Tests
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)

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)

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)

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
New York City Board of Education, Brooklyn, NY. Div. of Curriculum and Instruction. – 1986
This document describes a mathematics course that uses the computer to solve mathematics problems. It was developed to be used with students who have completed at least one year of general mathematics or are not achieving success in the traditional mathematics program. The course is intended to review, reinforce, and extend concepts included in…
