Roberts, Dennis M.; Glynn, Shawn M. – Calculators/Computers Magazine, 1978
Three calculation methods were compared in solving problems involving frequency distributions, manual, basic calculator, and advanced calculator. Calculators were more efficient but there was no difference in calculator type. (MP)

Roberts, Dennis M.; Glynn, Shawn M. – Calculators/Computers Magazine, 1978
Statistical problems were used to test the hypothesis that calculators facilitate problem solution by saving time and increasing accuracy. Manual, basic machine and advance machine methods were used. (MP)

Roberts, Dennis M.; Glynn, Shawn M. – Calculators/Computers Magazine, 1978
The study reported is the first in a series of investigations designed to empirically test the hypothesis that calculators reduce quantitative working time and increase computational accuracy, and to examine the relative magnitude of benefit that accompanies utilizing calculators compared to manual work.
