Describes an on-line computer system and its operating procedures as used in undergraduate chemistry programs. Presents eleven scope displays which illustrate the versatility of the computer as an instructional aid. Claims the system allows instruction in a wider range of topics under more realistic conditions and provides sophisticated…

Procedures to help algebra students solve problems more efficiently are discussed, using linear programing graphs. (MNS)

The following animal characteristics are considered to determine how properties and characteristics of various systems change with system size (scaling): skeletal weight, speed of running, height and range of jumping, food consumption, heart rate, lifetime, locomotive efficiency, frequency of wing-flapping, and maximum sizes of flying and hovering…

A program written for the 16K Level II TRS-80 computer that prints a star map, using various mathematical formulas to compute positions of the stars and the moon and displays them on terminals, is discussed. Some relevant astronomical background and terminology are covered in order to aid understanding. (MP)

A sample mathematical application problem that can be solved with computer programing is discussed. (MP)

A computer program that uses determinants to solve simultaneous systems of equations is presented. The purpose is to show teachers how to use topics from algebra, geometry, and programing to lead pupils to appreciate the beauty and unity of mathematics. (MP)

A humorous approach to "mathematical applications" focuses on the activities of the housewife in doing domestic chores. Six "lessons" touch on the following topics: algebra, direct and indirect proportions, arithmetic progressions, trigonometry, and non-Euclidean geometry. (MP)

Presents a mathematical game called the dinner-guest problem that deals with Steiner triple systems. (HM)

An analysis of four months of front-page newspaper articles to determine the amount of mathematics necessary to understand these articles is presented. (MP)

The application of Bezier polynomials in computer graphics to generate curves and surfaces is presented. The use of these curves to aid in the design of automobiles is featured, and a BASIC program designed to draw a simple caricature is included. (MP)

Presents a procedure for evaluating the required integrals for undergraduate students attempting to understand the consequences of perturbation theory. (CS)
