A method is given for obtaining a fairly accurate table of common logarithms, elementary arithmetic, and linear interpolation. The author recommends the use of a calculator. (Author/MN)

Student access to programmable calculators and computer terminals, coupled with a familiarity with baseball, provides opportunities to enhance their understanding of the binomial distribution and other aspects of analysis. (MP)

The calculator is used to solve certain formidable equations, which arise naturally and which may be difficult or impossible to solve by standard methods, by a method of successive approximations. (MP)

This paper demonstrates how calculators may be used to motivate a concept called infinite composition of functions. Several mathematical topics, such as continued square roots, continued fractions, and infinite products are treated and discussed as special cases. (Author/MK)

Included are a detailed example of a calculator demonstration, the general principles to be followed in preparing a calculator demonstration, a list of demonstration topics for a calculus course, and some suggested topics for other courses. (MK)

A method for finding logarithms is outlined. Four-function calculators are used to simplify the computation for those who enjoy experimenting with numbers. (MNS)

A procedure for helping students to calculate logarithms with any calculator that has a square root function is outlined. (MNS)

The problem of finding cube roots when limited to a calculator with only square root capability is discussed. An algorithm is demonstrated and explained which should always produce a good approximation within a few iterations. (MP)

Continued fractions and associated sequences are viewed to constitute a rich area of study for mathematics students, by supporting instruction on algebraic and computational skills, mathematical induction, convergence of sequences, and interpretation of function graphs. An iterative method of approximating square roots opens suggestions for…

A hand-held calculator is used to explore several easy and interesting mathematical topics involving compound and continuous interest suitable for beginning college students. (MN)

An unusual alternative starting point for instruction in a beginning calculus course that focuses on Fixed Point Iteration (FPI) is presented. (MP)
