Wigley, Neil M. – Creative Computing, 1984
Discusses a computer calculus game which follows the path of a parabola in stepwise progression. The educational value of the game is a simple example of nonlinearity, a subject which is just beginning to earn some attention in the mathematical community. The Applesoft program listing is included. (JN)
