Peer reviewedSchoaff, Eileen; Rising, Gerald – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1990
Describes examples of rational representation as a guide for translating terminology and information encountered in manuals for computers. Discusses four limitations of the representation. (YP)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computation, Decimal Fractions, Mathematical Applications
Peer reviewedJoyner, Virginia G.; Haggard, Paul W. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1990
Discusses how to express an n factorial as a product of powers of primes. Provides two examples and answers. Presents four related suggestions. (YP)

Peer reviewedSchmalz, Rosemary – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1987
Presented are the mathematical explanation of the algorithm for representing rational numbers in base two, paper-and-pencil methods for producing the representation, some patterns in these representations, and pseudocode for computer programs to explore these patterns. (MNS)

Peer reviewedGivan, Betty; Karr, Rosemary – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1988
The author presents two examples of lattice multiplication followed by a computer algorithm to perform this multiplication. The algorithm is given in psuedocode but could easily be given in Pascal. (PK)
