Shooman, Andrew – Creative Computing, 1982
A program written for the 16K Level II TRS-80 computer that prints a star map, using various mathematical formulas to compute positions of the stars and the moon and displays them on terminals, is discussed. Some relevant astronomical background and terminology are covered in order to aid understanding. (MP)

Peer reviewedNussbaum, Allen – American Journal of Physics, 1979
Presents a ray-tracing procedure based on some ideas of Herzberger and the matrix approach to geometrical optics. This method, which can be implemented on a programmable pocket calculator, applies to any conic surface, including paraboloids, spheres, and planes. (Author/GA)

Peer reviewedHumberston, J. W.; McKenzie, J. – Physics Education, 1984
Describes an approach to teaching interactive computing for physics students beginning with the use of BASIC and video terminals during the first year of study (includes writing solution programs for practical problems). Second year students learn FORTRAN and apply it to interpolation, numerical integration, and differential equations. (JM)

This module is part of a series designed to be used by life science students for instruction in the application of physical theory to ecosystem operation. Most modules contain computer programs which are built around a particular application of a physical process. FFORM is a portable format-free input subroutine package written in ANSI Fortran IV…

Lawler, Robert – Creative Computing, 1982
Some aspects of use of the LOGO programing language are discussed. The ideas focus on the creation of geometric patterns, particularly as viewed from the perspective of a beginner with this language. The material is designed to stimulate individual experimentation and exploration. (MP)
