Characteristics of computer arithmetic that may cause programing problems are considered. How numbers are stored in a computer, round-off error, overflow, and double-precision arithmetic are among the topics considered. (FL)

The nature of instruction in a computer club that is open only to seventh to ninth graders is detailed. The club has access to five TRS-80 Model II computers, and membership is limited. Students are instructed from the beginning in graphics. Examples of program assignments are listed. (MP)

A computer program is presented which simulates the classical probability machine, using Applesoft II high-resolution graphics. Many variables are left to the user's choosing. Suggestions for using the machine, understanding the problem, the mathematical model, and further program documentation are given. (MNS)

Guidelines and steps for reviewing and selecting computerized instructional materials are reviewed. (MP)

An innovative feature added to one high school curriculum is described whereby mathematics students write programs for problems that relate to topics studied in a given course. Sample programs illustrating the type of work being done are given. (MN)

How computer methods can be applied to an old problem and how computer efficiency affects the solution to that problem are illustrated. (MK)

The mathematics involved in a computer solution of a well-known board puzzle is discussed. The BASIC program is given. (MP)

The experience of a mathematics teacher in a school system as it established a computer science course is reviewed. (MP)

A proposal to replace plane geometry with computer programming in the standard high-school mathematics curriculum is presented. (MP)

A computer program developed by a high school student approximates the value of "e" by computing partial sums of the defining series. (SD)

A computer program that uses determinants to solve simultaneous systems of equations is presented. The purpose is to show teachers how to use topics from algebra, geometry, and programing to lead pupils to appreciate the beauty and unity of mathematics. (MP)

An account of student efforts to solve the problem of finding the equations for a pair of parabolas that intersect in exactly three points is given. The deceptively difficult problem leads to the rational root theorem and eventually to computer programs for locating roots and for approximating irrational roots. (MN)

A method of demonstrating computer programming and computer capability by using students to execute the commands of a computer program is explained. Serveral programs are specified and suggestions for 12 programs covering other topics are made. (DT)

Use of computerized testing to give frequent evaluations of student progress is explained. (MP)
