Peer reviewedHersberger, Jim; Farlow, James O. – Mathematics Teacher, 1990
Describes how to measure animals pace, stride, and step angle in degrees. Presents cases of measurements for dinosaur trackways. (YP)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Higher Education, Mathematical Applications, Mathematical Concepts
Peer reviewedCorris, G. – Mathematics in School, 1990
Discusses the calculation of pi by means of experimental methods. Polygon circle ratios, Archimedes' method, Buffon's needles, a Monte Carlo method, and prime number approaches are used. Presents three BASIC programs for the calculations. (YP)

Peer reviewedSchaefer, Paul – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Provides a program listing in True BASIC which constructs several kinds of matrices: (1) matrices with integral entries that have inverses that have integral entries; (2) matrices with integral entries that have inverses that are rational numbers with reasonable denominators; and (3) matrices with integral entries and prescribed integer…
