The importance of computer science education and of incorporating computers for instructional purposes at the secondary level is discussed. A 41-item bibliography is included. (DN)

Case study based on the experience of the British National Coal Board shows how main industry systems were introduced after very full involvement of user departments and demonstrates how this contributed to the success of the computer installation. (Editor)

Discusses how a teacher might initiate work with computers in his or her school. (MM)

Current plotting techniques offer new ways for decisionmakers to look at data via graphs, pictures, maps, and 3-D models. (Author)

Assessed was the influence of grade placement on programing aptitude and programing achievement. High school students comprised one group and college students a second group. A significant difference in programing aptitude was found between groups. (FL)

Discusses the use of computers for research in the humanities, where their characteristics of "speed, flexibility and economy make them indispensable "to the production of literary concordances, dictionaries, and data stores. (Editor/WM)

Three eras of educational computer use may be identified: (1) 1960s--large mainframe use and beginning of time-sharing; (2) 1970s--microcomputer utilization and continuation of time-sharing; and (3) late 1970s to 1980s--microprocessor/microcomputer classroom use. Networking is trying to solve limitations of microcomputers for many instructional…

The basic principles of computing are explained and a discussion of how a computer performs its "logical" functions is presented. A dictionary of some computer terms is provided. (MLW)

Forty-eight mathematicians in industry, business, and government replied to a questionnaire on the relative merits of the traditional undergraduate curriculum, advanced topics in pure mathematics, computer programing, additional computer science, and specialized or applied topics. They favored programing and applied mathematics, along with a…

Describes types of computer science and data processing courses, programs, and curricula currently being offered in the United States and Canada. Indicates that the structure chosen by colleges for implementation depends on such factors as type of industry need, student clientele, faculty expertise, industry/college cooperation, and others.
