Peer reviewedCurley, Walter – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
After a brief discussion of Pascal's triangle and description of four methods of hand construction, the author provides FORTRAN and BASIC programs for computer construction based on recursive definition. (SD)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computer Programs, Curriculum, Instruction
Peer reviewedMcCabe, John; Ransom, Marshall R. – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
A class's struggle with the computer solution of a nontrivial problem is related. The use of algorithms allowed a trial-and-error approach.

Peer reviewedSpence, Lawrence E.; Eynden, Charles Vanden – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
Programing a microcomputer to solve problems in whole-number arithmetic, rather than using the built-in operations of the computer, is described. Not only useful, it also enhances important mathematical concepts and is adaptable to a range of student abilities. (MNS)
