Examples are given of computer activities in analytic geometry. (MK)

Two computer exercises involving the classification of geometric figures are given. The mathematics required is relatively simple but comes from several areas--synthetic geometry, analytic geometry, and linear algebra. (MN)

Provides insight into technique for developing 3-dimensional computer graphics for use in artistic expression, design of functional objects, and the development of frame-by-frame computer animated films. Objects defined by intersecting spheres, hardware, software, examples, and illustrations are included. Twenty-four references are cited. (EJS)

Equations or systems of equations can be associated with letters of the alphabet printed in the coordinate plane. Messages can be coded and decoded with a computer or by hand. (SD)

Discusses the place of descriptive geometry in schools problems of teaching technical graphics to young students. Instructional materials for teaching technical graphics, graphic programs, program development, and the value of school project work are considered. Sample computer-generated drawings are included. (JN)

A program designed in BASIC for the Apple II computer that uses high resolution graphics to display geometric transformations is described. The four distance-preserving transformations included are translations, rotations, reflections, and glide-reflections. Shape-preserving dilations are also covered. (MP)

From a special report, "What's New in Curriculum

The teacher's guide for the eleventh unit in this SMSG series covers the chapter on rigid motions and vectors and the chapter on computers and programs. The overall purpose for each of the chapters is described, the prerequisite knowledge needed by students is specified, the mathematical development of each chapter is detailed, behavioral…

A brief description of the operation of Euclid (a theorem-proving computer program written by the author) is given and directions to be taken in its continuing development are indicated. (MN)

Mathematics exercises involving the number of electoral votes, the apportionment of representatives, and population data are described in detail, with solutions given. (DT)

Transformation geometry topics are covered in one chapter of Unit 11 of this SMSG series. Work with translations, reflections, rotations, and composition of motions is included; vectors are briefly discussed. The chapter on computers and programming deals with recent history and uses of of the computer, organization of a digital computer, an…

The use of microcomputers to aid geometry instruction is emphasized through discussion of a program written in BASIC which provides for experimenting with polynomial curves. The program listing is included. (MP)

Simplicity and flexibility of the full rank linear model motivated this paper which introduces researchers to the theory necessary to understand the model and apply the theory in the analysis of some standard fixed effects experimental designs. The theory and examples should help researchers use the model as an experimental tool and a model for…

PROLOG is a relatively new programing language with graphics capability. In addition, the language has a declarative rather than a procedural structure. Two programs illustrating use of the language in the mathematics classroom are presented. (JN)

Discusses the uses of the computer and how it can enhance teaching productivity. (RK)
