Symbolic Computer Algebra: The Classroom Computer Takes a Quantum Jump.

Peer reviewed

Kunkle, Dan; Burch, Charles I., Jr. – Mathematics Teacher, 1984

Described is a software program with two components. One is muMATH, a package of functions that can perform a wide variety of symbolic manipulations. It is surrounded by, and written in, the accompanying language, muSIMP. A problem is described with a muMATH solution; another example uses the muSIMP language. (MNS)

Modeling Growth--A Discrete Approach.

Peer reviewed

Kunkle, Dan; Burch, Charles I., Jr. – Mathematics Teacher, 1984

An approach to teaching the exponential function using discrete methods, rather than continuous analysis, is presented. A model for simple geometric growth is explored, with a computer program given. (MNS)
