Mandell, Alan; Lucking, Robert – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Investigates using the microcomputer to develop a sentence parser to simulate intelligent conversation used in artificial intelligence applications. Compares the ability of LOGO and BASIC for this use. Lists and critiques several LOGO and BASIC parser programs. (MVL)
Descriptors: Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Processes, College Science, Computer Uses in Education

O'Brien, James F. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 1989
Describes laboratory-oriented software programs that are short, time-saving, eliminate computational errors, and not found in public domain courseware. Program availability for IBM and Apple microcomputers is included. (RT)
Descriptors: Chemistry, College Science, Computation, Computer Software

Pizarro, Antonio – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Explains the use of the 3-dimensional analytic geometry method to find values for a field geology problem. Gives a description of the mathematical theory for this method which can be applied to data obtained by drilling as well as open surfaces, and a computer program. (RT)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Analytic Geometry, College Science, Computation

Journal of Chemical Education, 1987
Provides a review of both the Apple and IBM versions of ENZPACK, a software package which is designed to assist in the teaching of enzyme kinetics in courses where this topic is treated in some depth. (TW)
Descriptors: Chemistry, College Science, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Software Reviews

Touvelle, Michele; Venugopalan, Mundiyath – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1986
Describes a computer program, "Activation Energy," which is designed for use in physical chemistry classes and can be modified for kinetic experiments. Provides suggestions for instruction, sample program listings, and information on the availability of the program package. (ML)

Breneman, G. L.; Parker, O. J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1987
Discusses the possibility of having chemistry students do their own computer programing that could then be used to solve problems in general chemistry. Describes such an effort at Eastern Washington University. Provides examples of some of the student programs and printouts. (TW)
Descriptors: Chemistry, College Science, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Uses in Education

Costanza, Robert – BioScience, 1987
Describes a new software package for the Apple Macintosh computer which can be used to create elaborate simulation models in a fraction of the time usually required without using a programming language. Illustrates the use of the software which relates to water usage. (TW)
Descriptors: Biology, College Science, Computer Graphics, Computer Oriented Programs

Venugopalan, Mundiyath – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Lists a BASIC program which computes the equilibrium constant as a function of temperature. Suggests use by undergraduates taking a one-year calculus-based physical chemistry course. Notes the program provides for up to four species, typically two reactants and two products. (MVL)
Descriptors: Chemical Equilibrium, Chemical Reactions, Chemistry, College Science

Mandell, Alan; Lucking, Robert – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Discusses programs to provide a knowledge base and use the knowledge in a mode of artificial intelligence. Indicates that two methods of database storage are possible and opts to use a method using many data files while using a small RAM capacity. Lists several programs. (MVL)
Descriptors: Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Processes, Cognitive Psychology, College Science

Donato, Henry, Jr.; And Others – Journal of Chemical Education, 1988
Describes two computer programs used to aid in data analysis: (1) Develops a method for the propagation of error involving the direct calculation of the error in the dependent variable using a spreadsheet; (2) Examines a simple numerical method for solving complex equilibria. Lists a FORTRAN 77 program. (MVL)
