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…

This project was designed to improve the graphing competency of students in elementary algebra, intermediate algebra, and trigonometry courses at Virginia Commonwealth University. Computer graphics programs were designed using an Apple II Plus computer and implemented using Pascal. The software package is interactive and gives students control…

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,…
