The two sections found in this publication, "Integrating Computer Literacy With Existing Classes" and "Guide to Computer Augmented Trigonometry," were written by participants in two summer courses at the University of Oregon. The first section addresses the general topic of teaching computer literacy through existing classes,…

The computer has enormous potential for enhancing the secondary trigonometry curriculum. Areas that can be improved through use of the computer include: solutions of triangles, inductive investigations of functions, graphs of functions, and solution of trigonometric identities. (JN)

Contains an update of an earlier listing of software for mathematics instruction at the college level. Topics are: advanced mathematics, algebra, calculus, differential equations, discrete mathematics, equation solving, general mathematics, geometry, linear and matrix algebra, logic, statistics and probability, and trigonometry. (PK)

Reviews for three software packages are given. The packages are: Super Math Package, a collection of 19 programs on a variety of mathematical topics; Interactive Experiments in Calculus; and Introductory Statistics Software Package. (PK)

The author suggests that spreadsheet computer programs can be an effective tool in the mathematics classroom. In addition to being used to solve many real-world problems, spreadsheets can be used to promote understanding of concepts and principles from geometry, algebra, and trigonometry. (PK)

Presents reviews of six software packages. Includes (1) "Plain Vanilla Statistics"; (2) "MathCAD 2.0"; (3) "GrFx"; (4) "Trigonometry"; (5) "Algebra II"; (6) "Algebra Drill and Practice I, II, and III." (PK)
