This booklet contains some 80 problems in mathematics suitable for computer solution. The problems range from very simple to complex. Problems have been included from most mathematic disciplines, including number theory, analytical geometry, probability and statistics, trigonometry, equations, and sequence and limits. For the most part these…

The overall results of the fourth U.S.A. Mathematical Olympiad are discussed. The names of the eight finalists are listed, as are the problems in the test. (SD)

The sixteen chapters of this book provide the core material for the Elements of ERIC/SMEAC, The Ohio State University, 400 Lincoln Tower, Columbus, Ohio 43210 (on loan) strong verbal abilities. The sequence is based on a functional-relational approach to mathematics teaching, and emphasizes teaching by analysis of real-life situations. This text…

This monthly column contains teaching suggestions on: using codes to convey information, flow proofs in geometry, and volleyball and probability. (MP)

An elementary knowledge of geometry is shown to be helpful in problem solving, especially in that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. (MN)

The technique of organizing data in tables to solve counting problems in geometry is illustrated in the solution of five problems. (MN)

The author has selected a number of episodes that illustrate some of the successes and failures of humanity's attempt to find the area of the circle and presents them as problem studies. (MN)

Various methods for solving the problem of finding when the hour and minute hand of a watch have the same direction are explored. The relationship of these problems to the educational environment and the maturity of the student are discussed. (CW)

This is one of eighteen sets of individualized mathematics problems developed by the Oregon Vo-Tech Math Project. Each of these problem packages is organized around a mathematical topic and contains problems related to diverse vocations. Solutions are provided for all problems. This package contains problems related to measurement of area which…

This yearbook is a reference source of direct applications of mathematics for use in grades 7-12. Topics are listed alphabetically in each of four sections: arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. An explanation is given as to the plan of the book, making the location of desired material easier, and an index is included. In many cases the…

The author organizes some of the information known about the problem of dividing space by five planes in general position along with its extensions, and consolidates it to highlight some interesting patterns in both methods of solving analogous problems and their results. (MN)

Provides domino geometry problems, problems with arithmetic progressions, and magic pentagram sums. (JM)

Discusses geometric construction problems. Presents four ways to construct a regular octagon using different conditions. Provides drawings showing the constructions. (YP)

This is one of eighteen sets of individualized mathematics problems developed by the Oregon Vo-Tech Math Project. Each of these problem packages is organized around a mathematical topic and contains problems related to diverse vocations. Solutions are provided for all problems. The volume contains problems in applied geometry. Measurement of…

The last 13 of 32 exercises of a course designed to give a wide range of skills in deductive, inductive, and indirect methods of proof in geometry are presented. (MP)
