Nicolai, Michael B. – Mathematics Teacher, 1978
Finding the sum of all n digit whole numbers that can be formed from an n digit whole number is proposed as a useful classroom activity. The problem leads from inductive method to deductive proof with the aid of pocket calculators, and provides an opportunity to introduce factorial notation and permutations. (MN)

Erisman, Ralph J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1986
Shows a direct solution for factoring trinomials, without trial and error, using a calculator. When a calculator is not available, the mathematical chore is eased somewhat using reference tables, as shown in two noncalculator methods (determining nonfactorability and factorability). (JN)
