The second of two articles on recursive programing techniques focuses on pseudocoding of recursive processes, evaluation and encoding of recursive procedures, and evaluation and encoding of recursive functions. The translation of recursive relations in mathematics to recursive functions is also examined, and an example is given. (12 references)…

A first computer lesson in algebra is described, with illustrations of programing by students. Standard algebraic notation with BASIC are discussed, and further activities described. The purpose is to use the computer so that it develops a rational understanding of the mathematical concepts involved. (MNS)

The case for some elementary programing as part of mathematics instruction is presented. Ways in which microcomputers can be used in the mathematics classroom are described, with specific illustrations. (MNS)
