Courtney, Mary F.; Stix, Allen – Mathematics and Computer Education, 2006
Instructors teaching beginning programming classes are often interested in exercises that involve processing photographs (i.e., files stored as .jpeg). They may wish to offer activities such as color inversion, the color manipulation effects archived with pixel thresholding, or steganography, all of which Stevenson et al. [4] assert are sought by…

Logic Programming: PROLOG.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lopez, Antonio M., Jr. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1989
Provides background material on logic programing and presents PROLOG as a high-level artificial intelligence programing language that borrows its basic constructs from logic. Suggests the language is one which will help the educator to achieve various goals, particularly the promotion of problem solving ability. (MVL)

Gedankensimulation: An Intuitive Way to Communicate Statistical Ideas.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Jones, Kevin S. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1992
"Gedankensimulation" is a term adapted from Einstein's "thought experiments" to indicate mentally created simulations that can help conceptualize ideas. Presents seven examples of simulations that can be utilized to solve problems or illustrate concepts in probability and statistics. Problem contexts include games of chance,…
