Peer reviewedHarris, Whitney – School Science and Mathematics, 1985
Formulas for use in computer programs are presented. Two programming applications are discussed: one to ballistics using inverse sine and one to hours of daylight using inverse cosine. (MNS)

Peer reviewedLamb, John F., Jr. – School Science and Mathematics, 1986
A narcissistic number is a positive integer equal to the sum of its digits raised to an integral power. For example, 15 is equal to 1-cubed plus 5-cubed plus 3-cubed (a narcissistic number of order three). A computer program to find narcissistic numbers up to 10,000 is given and discussed. (JN)

Peer reviewedAdner, Haya – School Science and Mathematics, 1990
Investigated the effect of the choice of a model's medium (algebraic expression or computer program) on the performance of students. Student programers did not transfer the qualities of a computer program approach to their algebraic models. Provides items for five tests. (YP)

Peer reviewedKing, Amy C.; Wilson, Joel E. – School Science and Mathematics, 1991
The purpose of this paper is to show, by computer examples, that very different results can be obtained by rearranging selected conditionally convergent series. Computer programs allow the students to select the real number to which they wish the rearrangement to converge. Two computer programs are appended. (KR)
