Calculators and Unary Operations: A Position Paper with Instructional Suggestions. Project Paper 77-7.

Weaver, J. F.

Investigating properties and characteristics of unary operations is shown to be facilitated by using calculators. Several avenues for instructional exploration are suggested and examples given. These include questions relating to relations, inverses, commutativity, distributivity, and iterations. A discussion of the calculator algorithm for exploring each question is included. (MP)
