A statistical analysis software package available on cassette tape is described. (MK)

Several programs deemed good for preschoolers are reviewed, including some that require the child and parent to work the keyboard simultaneously. (MP)

A random sampling of computer software designed for educational use is reviewed. (MP)

Epicycloids are formed by tracing the path of a fixed point on a circle as it rolls aroung the outside of a larger circle. Examines several possibilities related to epicycloids (and hypocycloids), presenting more mathematical patterns and artistic shapes that result from using several computer programs. Program listings are included. (JN)

Presented is a chart which compares the nature of the BASIC programing languages found with the following systems: Atari, Apple Integer, Applesoft, Exidy, TRS 80 Level I, TRS 80 Level II, TRS 80 DOS, and PET. (MP)

Discusses what to look for in training materials, focusing on educational value, cost effectiveness, and user support. The special advantages of the computer for training are also considered. (JN)

Discusses properties of epicycloids. (The easiest way to picture them is to think of a piece of radioactive bubble gum attached to a wheel which is rolling around the outside of a larger wheel.) Includes a computer program (TRS-80 color computer) that will graph any epicycloid with integer values for the radii. (JN)

Guidelines for selecting good educational software are presented and based on general principles that are relevant to a wide variety of teaching programs, topics, students, and computer systems. (MP)

Presents four probability problems, their simulations, and analyses. The first illustrates a discrete situation for which it is possible to list the sample space. The second and third are continuous--the number of possible outcomes is infinite. The last is discrete with a surprising continuous extension question which leads to l/e. (JN)

Describes selected training materials (books and programming aids) for computer programming. A list of materials is also provided. Each entry includes title, supplier, format, computer needed, special requirements, and current costs. (JN)

Discusses computer programs used to teach: engineers to analyze structural stress and strain; salesmen to sell; managers to write memos; musicians to compose; and pilots to use navigational instruments. A list of software on noncomputer subjects is provided; each entry includes title, supplier, format, current price, and computer needed. (JN)

A program designed in the BASIC programing language to provide drill and practice with positive and negative numbers is presented. (MP)

The "College Explorer" is a software package (for the 64K Apple II, IBM PC, TRS-80 model III and 4 microcomputers) which aids in choosing a college. The major features of this package (manufactured by The College Board) are described and evaluated. Sample input/output is included. (JN)

Reviews training programs for specific applications (such as VisiCalc, dBase II, and MultiPlan). A list of selected materials is provided. Each entry includes title, supplier, format, computer needed, special requirements, and current cost. (JN)

A program that can reduce difficult integration problems to simpler approximations using the trapezoidal rule to approximate the area under a curve is presented. (MP)
