Teaching Differentiation with muMATH.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mathews, John H. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Illustrates how muMATH can be used for manipulating abstract differentiation rules, optimization, implicit differentiation, related rules, and verifying the chain rule. (MVL)
Descriptors: Calculus, Computer Graphics, Computer Software, Computer Uses in Education
A Computer-graphing-based Approach to Solving Inequalities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Waits, Bert K.; Demana, Franklin – Mathematics Teacher, 1989
Illustrated is the use of computer- or calculator-based graphing to deepen students' understanding about solutions to inequalities. Two examples which use a zoom-in procedure are provided. (YP)

Some Implications of Function Graphers for the Mathematics Curriculum.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kissane, Barry – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1989
Discusses the use of function graphers for teaching some mathematical concepts, including roots of a function; system of equations; inequality; relative extreme of function; trigonometric identities; limit of function; and convergent/divergent of sequence. (YP)
Descriptors: Algebra, Calculators, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Graphics
Computer Corner. A Rich Differential Equation for Computer Demonstrations.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Banks, Bernard W. – College Mathematics Journal, 1990
Presents an example using a computer to illustrate concepts graphically in an introductory course on differential equations. Discusses the algorithms of the computer program displaying the solutions to an equation and the inclination field of the equation. (YP)
Descriptors: Algorithms, College Mathematics, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Graphics
Discovering Calculus.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Decker, Robert – Mathematics Teacher, 1989

Descriptors: Calculus, College Mathematics, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Graphics
Chaos and Fractals.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Barton, Ray – Mathematics Teacher, 1990
Presented is an educational game called "The Chaos Game" which produces complicated fractal images. Two basic computer programs are included. The production of fractal images by the Sierpinski gasket and the Chaos Game programs is discussed. (CW)
Descriptors: Chaos Theory, Computer Graphics, Computer Uses in Education, Educational Games
Spreadsheet Works: Graphing Functions on a Spreadsheet.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ramamurthi, V. S. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Explains graphing functions when using LOTUS 1-2-3. Provides examples and explains keystroke entries needed to make the graphs. Notes up to six functions can be displayed on the same set of axes. (MVL)

Teaching and Learning about Graphing through Computer-Assisted Problem Solving: Issues in the Design and Interpretation of Graphs, the Design and Use of Educational Software, and Classroom Research Methodology.
Jackson, David F.; And Others – 1990
Recent research has demonstrated the promise of graphing software as an aid to teaching graphs in two content areas: line graphs of aspects of motion and graphs of algebraic functions. This study attempted to generalize the idea of computer-assisted graphing to include the use of several kinds of graphs to solve a wider range of problems. A unit…
