Horwitz, Paul; Feurzeig, Wallace – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1994
This article describes the functionality and use of a computer-based tool, called MultiMap, for investigating the properties of mappings of the plane onto itself. Examples are given of activities appropriate for mathematics students from middle school to college. (LZ)

Olson, Alton T. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1993
Presents a series of solution methods to the Eight Queens Problem of placing eight queens on a chess board so that no one queen can capture another. Solution methods progress from empirical approaches to the use of computer algorithms. Geometric transformations are used to find other solutions. (MDH)
