Microcomputer programs that help students calculate permutations and combinations are developed. Listings of five programs are included. (MNS)

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)

A class's struggle with the computer solution of a nontrivial problem is related. The use of algorithms allowed a trial-and-error approach.

Examples are given of how calculator-sized pocket computers, which can receive, store, and execute BASIC programs, can be used in mathematics classrooms. (MNS)

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)

Explorations of Pascal's triangle through computer programming are described. Programming offers different methods and techniques that enrich the topic. (MNS)

Programs are listed for integer powers and fractional powers, with discussion of how to use them in instruction. (MNS)

Programing a microcomputer to solve problems in whole-number arithmetic, rather than using the built-in operations of the computer, is described. Not only useful, it also enhances important mathematical concepts and is adaptable to a range of student abilities. (MNS)

This article considers the sum of a finite geometric series as applied to numeric data storage in the memory of an electronic digital computer. The presentation is viewed as relevant to programing in several languages and removes some of the mystique associated with syntax constraints that any language imposes. (MP)

Problems are presented that can be solved with a microcomputer which explore the binary, decimal, and hexadecimal number systems and related problems. (Author/TG)

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)

Presents 12 problems for students to investigate the relationships involving properties of numbers by using BASIC language. (YP)

How the computer can become an integral part of mathematics learning at the junior high school level is discussed in terms of mathematics processes. The rationale for activities involving programmed processes and examples of them are given. (MNS)

A six-lesson unit on computing the palindromic sum of any given two-digit number is outlined. To write a brief, efficient computer program, students need to use several computer functions not typically applied in beginning programs. (MNS)

Some specific uses of microcomputers in mathematics instruction are presented. Included are examples for generating data and patterns, checking, practice of various types, developing understanding, comparing results, simulation of experiments, introducing new ideas, solving problems, and extending into new areas. Brief computer programs are given.…
