Peer reviewedStover, Donald W. – Mathematics Teacher, 1980
Some insights are provided into techniques for removing the mystery of how calculators evaluate functions. (Author/MK)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Calculators, Computation, Computer Oriented Programs
Peer reviewedOudshoorn, Susan; Finkelstein, Gary – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1991
The actuarial profession is described to provide secondary school mathematics teachers insights into how actuaries use mathematics in solving real life problems. Examples are provided involving compound interest, the probability of dying, and inflation with computer modeling. (MDH)
