Peer reviewedMcCune, E. D.; And Others – Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1980
This paper demonstrates how calculators may be used to motivate a concept called infinite composition of functions. Several mathematical topics, such as continued square roots, continued fractions, and infinite products are treated and discussed as special cases. (Author/MK)
Descriptors: Calculators, Calculus, College Mathematics, Higher Education
