Following a brief history of Logo, BASIC, and Pilot programing languages, common educational programing tasks (input from keyboard, evaluation of keyboard input, and computation) are presented in each language to illustrate how each can be used to perform the same tasks and to demonstrate each language's strengths and weaknesses. (MBR)

The use of the programmable calculator is discussed for obtaining numerical solutions to equations. The program is listed and the method illustrated. (MP)

Describes a program written for a programmable pocket calculator that computes the frequency response of linear systems. (Author)

A sample run is given of a BASIC program used to determine possible genetic characteristics of offspring of parents with known genetic characteristics. (MK)

Cited are 573 U.S. and foreign articles, reports, and books particularly relevant to the field of computational linguistics with selective coverage in the fields of computation and programming, and social science uses of computers as language processors. In the area of linguistics, a fairly broad view of structural theory and semantics is taken…

Discusses the basic computer-oriented skills needed by chemical engineering graduates, suggesting that these skills be introduced and reinforced throughout the chemical engineering curriculum. Issues related to programming and scientific computation are noted. (JN)

Algorithms for generating random numbers are discussed along with disadvantages. A program for a programable calculator is given that overcomes those disadvantages. (MP)

Instructions are given for using and programing programable calculators. Several problems and examples are given that include topics such as temperature conversion, estimation, and number operations. (MP)

Examples are given of computer programs which teach the concept of function (including domain of the function, a change of argument, and composition of functions). (DT)

Discusses approach to integrating computer programing into a calculus-based physics survey college course which stresses three major uses of computers: data reduction, calculation, and simulation. An initial programing exercise and practical constraints--time a student can allot to course and student's level of confidence--are mentioned. (EJS)

Several examples are given of a variety of nonstandard problems, not ordinarily found in texts or courses, now accessible to students who have programmable calculators. These include: (1) finding limits; (2) evaluating infinite series; (3) calculating finite series; (4) computing variable length products; (5) solving equations; (6) searching for…

Describes the use of programmable calculators to perform classroom controlled experiments on economic models. The complete program for exploring the dynamics of the Harrod-Domar equation is given. Some difficulties encountered and statistical uses are mentioned. (BC)

Presents an instructional process designed to achieve educational objectives (comprehension, analysis, evaluation, synthesis, and application) in introductory computer programming and applications courses through student projects. The projects involve goals based on these objectives and integrate computational techniques, plotting displays, and…

Background material related to this controversy discusses four points of view and moves to an examination of Turing's formulation of the question. (MP)

An activity for secondary schools is presented and discussed which may be explored with a programmable calculator. The activity is non-standard and could not be easily explored without the use of a programmable calculator. Related activities are also discussed. Flow charts and programs for different programmable calculators are presented. (MP)
