An Analysis of Change: Differential Equations.
Barnett, Bruce D. – Creative Computing, 1979
A discussion of differential equations is accompanied by an analysis of two situations whose solutions require differential equations. A computer program is given that will solve these equations. (MP)

What the Computer Taught Me About My Students...or Is Binary Search "Natural"?
Pasquino, Anne – Creative Computing, 1978
Several examples of student-written programs "teaching" a computer to guess systematically in finding a number between 0 and 10,000 are illustrated. These lend support to the contention that rather than being a "natural" application, using a binary search is a learned technique. (MN)

The Monkey and the Hunter.
Rogowski, Steve – Creative Computing, 1982
A problem is detailed which has a solution that embodies geometry, trigonometry, ballistics, projectile mechanics, vector analysis, and elementary computer graphics. It is felt that the information and sample computer programs can be a useful starting point for a user written code that involves missiles and other projectiles. (MP)

Prime Time.
Piele, Donald T. – Creative Computing, 1982
The design of a computer program to efficiently generate prime numbers is discussed. Programs for many different brands of home computers are listed, with suggestions of ways the programs can be speeded up. It is noted everyone seems to have a favorite program, but that every program can be improved. (MP)
