Spero, Samuel W. – Calculators/Computers Magazine, 1978
A computer program is presented that generates problem sets involving sketching graphs of trigonometric functions using graphical addition. The students use calculators to sketch the graphs and a computer solution is used to check it. (MP)

Peer reviewedGoldberg, Samuel – Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1975
A method of approximating areas under curves in precalculus courses is described. (SD)

Peer reviewedSmith, David A. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1982
Some experiences with a classroom computer graphics facility are recounted to show how such a facility has changed the views of some instructors teaching mathematics at the college level. Teachers are encouraged to search out and seize opportunities to acquire graphics hardware, with the added teaching capabilities promoted. (MP)

Peer reviewedLambert, Tim – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1982
An unusual shape is considered, and properties and steps in drawing it are detailed. The focus is on development and presentation of a computer program that will draw the curve. The program is written in BASIC with special plotting commands for a Techtronix computer, but is adaptable to other systems. (MP)

Poon-Hang, Peter Lee – Creative Computing, 1982
A program designed to plot three-dimensional graphs is described and presented. The program allows the user to select maximum and minimum ranges for X, Y, and Z, and can enlarge a graph on the screen or look at a portion away from the origin. It is in Applesoft BASIC. (MP)

Peer reviewedLappan, Glenda; Winter, M. J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1982
An introductory unit on slope, designed to give students a chance to discover some of the basic relationships between functions and slopes, is described. Programs written in BASIC for PET microcomputers were used. It is felt that students have the background to understand derivatives after experiences with this unit. (MP)
