Peer reviewedMcCune, E. D.; And Others – Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1980
This paper demonstrates how calculators may be used to motivate a concept called infinite composition of functions. Several mathematical topics, such as continued square roots, continued fractions, and infinite products are treated and discussed as special cases. (Author/MK)

Peer reviewedMiel, George – American Mathematical Monthly, 1980
The author discusses the use of calculators in calculus classes and difficulties caused by roundoff errors. References for advanced follow-up topics are given. (Author/MK)

Peer reviewedSelkirk, Keith – Mathematics in School, 1980
The format of digits in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) on calculators and watches can motivate some simple investigations appropriate for school mathematics. Several sample problems or investigations are provided. (MK)

Peer reviewedUsiskin, Zalman; Bell, Max S. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
Ignored concepts of numbers, notation, and operation with rational numbers are described. It is proposed that these be taught in the time now devoted to paper-and-pencil skills made obsolete by calculators. (MNS)

King, Ronald S. – MATYC Journal, 1980
Ways of using calculators to presents the concept and methodology of concurrent processing are discussed. Several problems that could be used to compare sequential versus concurrent processing are presented. (MK)
