Peer reviewedInman, Don; Clyde, Donald – Mathematics Teacher, 1981
A sample mathematical application problem that can be solved with computer programing is discussed. (MP)
Descriptors: Computers, Mathematical Applications, Mathematics Education, Problem Solving
Peer reviewedConklin, Kenneth R. – Mathematics Teacher, 1981
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)
Descriptors: Algebra, Computer Programs, Computers, Mathematical Applications
Peer reviewedCarlson, Ronald J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1981
A computer simulation of the Buffon Needle Problem for estimating the value of pi is discussed. (MP)
Descriptors: Computer Science Education, Computers, Mathematical Applications, Problem Solving
Peer reviewedObermeyer, Dean D. – Mathematics Teacher, 1982
An exploration of a problem called solving quadratic congruences modulo p is detailed and is built around an alternate method of deriving the quadratic formula. Three practical pedagogical values that have been experienced by students and instructor when the material was presented to classes are noted. (MP)

Peer reviewedKoetke, Walter – Mathematics Teacher, 1983
Seven applications problems are presented for gifted students to solve by writing microcomputer programs. (MNS)
Descriptors: Academically Gifted, Computers, Gifted, Mathematical Applications
Peer reviewedDolan, Daniel T. – Mathematics Teacher, 1981
A sample problem shows some pitfalls in approximating square roots when working with calculators or computers. (MP)
Descriptors: Calculators, Computers, Discovery Learning, Geometric Concepts
Peer reviewedHay, Louise – Mathematics Teacher, 1981
The use of a computer program written in BASIC to help prove a theorem in geometry is discussed. Ideas used in this example could be applied to writing programs for other geometric proofs. (MP)
Descriptors: Computer Assisted Instruction, Computers, Geometric Concepts, Mathematical Concepts
Peer reviewedBell, Frederick H. – Mathematics Teacher, 1978
The author outlines where we've been and where we ought to be going with computer-enhanced mathematics especially with respect to student motivation and problem solving. (MN)
Descriptors: Computer Assisted Instruction, Computers, Instruction, Mathematics Education
