Soto-Johnson, Hortensia – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2014
The Common Core State Standards Initiative stresses the importance of developing a geometric and algebraic understanding of complex numbers in their different forms (i.e., Cartesian, polar and exponential). Unfortunately, most high school textbooks do not offer such explanations much less exercises that encourage students to bridge geometric and…

Abramovich, S. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
The availability of sophisticated computer programs such as "Wolfram Alpha" has made many problems found in the secondary mathematics curriculum somewhat obsolete for they can be easily solved by the software. Against this background, an interplay between the power of a modern tool of technology and educational constraints it presents is…

Abramovich, Sergei; Leonov, Gennady A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
This article demonstrates how within an educational context, supported by the notion of hidden mathematics curriculum and enhanced by the use of technology, new mathematical knowledge can be discovered. More specifically, proceeding from the well-known representation of Fibonacci numbers through a second-order difference equation, this article…

Fischer, Frederic – Mathematics Teacher, 1986
Presents three problems, each with a computer solution in BASIC programming language: (1) finding sum equals product for three-digit numbers; (2) finding cases of improper cancellation that give a correct answer; and (3) finding perfect numbers. Some suggestions for further investigation are included. (JN)

Wallace, Edward D.; Chance, Joseph E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1986
Described is a simple algorithm that can be used for the input, arithmetic manipulation, and output of large integers in their exact representations. Three BASIC programs are included that apply this method to the problem of multiplication of large integers, computation of factorials, and the generation of palindromic integers. (MNS)

Lamb, John F., Jr. – School Science and Mathematics, 1986
A narcissistic number is a positive integer equal to the sum of its digits raised to an integral power. For example, 15 is equal to 1-cubed plus 5-cubed plus 3-cubed (a narcissistic number of order three). A computer program to find narcissistic numbers up to 10,000 is given and discussed. (JN)
