Connecting Logic, Algebra, and Functions in Discrete Mathematics.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Masat, Francis; Mitchell, Robert – Mathematics Teacher, 1992
Presents a method blending ideas from logic, algebra, and operators to devise discrete functions that yield the same truth values as the truth tables associated with specific logic statements. Introduces mechanisms that encourage students to discover examples of discrete functions, approximately represent logic statements, and provides examples of…

A Monte Carlo Application to Approximate the Integral from a to b of e Raised to the x Squared.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Easterday, Kenneth; Smith, Tommy – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
Proposes an alternative means of approximating the value of complex integrals, the Monte Carlo procedure. Incorporating a discrete approach and probability, an approximation is obtained from the ratio of computer-generated points falling under the curve to the number of points generated in a predetermined rectangle.
