Demana, Franklin; Waits, Bert K. – College Mathematics Journal, 1988
Argues that while microcomputer and graphing calculators have evolved to a stage where they should be used routinely by mathematics students at all levels, there is sometimes potential to mislead students with computer generated graphs. Examples are included. (PK)

Waits, Bert K.; Demana, Franklin – Mathematics Teacher, 1989
Illustrated is the use of computer- or calculator-based graphing to deepen students' understanding about solutions to inequalities. Two examples which use a zoom-in procedure are provided. (YP)

Demana, Franklin; Waits, Bert K. – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Discusses solutions to real-world linear particle-motion problems using graphing calculators to simulate the motion and traditional analytic methods of calculus. Applications include (1) changing circular or curvilinear motion into linear motion and (2) linear particle accelerators in physics. (MDH)

Waits, Bert K.; Demana, Franklin – Mathematics Teacher, 1992
Presented are two reasons discouraging computer symbol manipulation systems use in school mathematics at present: cost for computer laboratories or expensive pocket computers; and impracticality of exact solution representations. Although development with this technology in mathematics education advances, graphing calculators are recommended to…
