This paper outlines the development of an activity that uses the computer's unique capabilities to provide students with a meaningful and highly motivating experience with the graphing of equations. The basic design of the game calls for the computer to display a coordinate grid on which it graphs any equations that are typed in by the student.…

Discusses four computer-assisted-instruction programs used in a college-level mathematics course to introduce computer literacy and improve mathematical skills. The BASIC programs include polynomial functions, trigonometric functions, matrix algebra, and differential calculus. Each program discusses mathematics theory and introduces programming…

A set of programs, designed to supplement a high school or college course in trigonometry, is described. Student exploration is stressed. (MP)

This report includes a general overview of the literature on computer use at the two-year college level and in specific academic disciplines, and a description of the development of a computer assisted instruction (CAI) program in linear algebra. The literature review was based on articles from journals, Dissertation Abstracts International, a…

The two sections found in this publication, "Integrating Computer Literacy With Existing Classes" and "Guide to Computer Augmented Trigonometry," were written by participants in two summer courses at the University of Oregon. The first section addresses the general topic of teaching computer literacy through existing classes,…
