Duncan, David R.; Litwiller, Bonnie H. – Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1973
The problem of determining the number of squares on a checkerboard is extended to finding the number of rectangles on an n x n board and finding the total numbers of cubes and rectangular solids in an n x n x n cube. (DT)

Lucas, John F. – MATYC Journal, 1978
The author organizes some of the information known about the problem of dividing space by five planes in general position along with its extensions, and consolidates it to highlight some interesting patterns in both methods of solving analogous problems and their results. (MN)

Guy, Richard K. – Mathematics Magazine, 1990
Presented are 44 examples in which students are invited to guess what pattern of numbers is emerging and to decide whether the pattern will persist. Topics of examples include Pascal's triangle, integers, vertices, Fibonacci numbers, power series, partition functions, and Euler's theorem. The answers to all problems are included. (KR)

Gallian, Joseph A. – Mathematics Magazine, 1991
Described are some ways in which individual states code driver's license numbers. The encoding of month, date of birth, year of birth, sex, and others involving elementary mathematics and the use of an elaborate system of hashing functions in describing the first, middle, and last names are discussed.
