Sharlow, John F. – MATYC Journal, 1981
The relationship between logic and mathematics is examined. Four basic concepts inherent in symbolic logic that are typically included in ninth- and tenth-grade mathematics programs are reviewed. Symbolic logic is advocated for all students who will study algebra and/or geometry. (MP)
Descriptors: Logic, Mathematical Concepts, Mathematical Logic, Mathematics Curriculum
Crothamel, David A. – MATYC Journal, 1981
This report illustrates how high school statistics students at the junior and senior year level utilize the TRS-80 microcomputer and the Level II BASIC programing language to handle computations of a least squares problem, where an equation is fitted to empirical data. (MP)
Descriptors: Achievement, Computer Programs, Computers, Mathematical Applications
Kerr, Donald R., Jr. – MATYC Journal, 1981
Analogies between topics in algebra and in arithmetic are noted. It is suggested that algebra teachers should consider how to take advantage of student backgrounds in arithmetic by exploiting these analogies. (MP)

Farley, Reuben W. – MATYC Journal, 1981
An organized series of steps designed to help students solve related rate problems often found in beginning calculus is presented. Two example problems are taken through five steps of solution. (MP)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Calculus, College Mathematics, Higher Education
Bluman, Allan G. – MATYC Journal, 1976
Advantages of using flow charts are listed. Flow charts for adding and subtracting fractions and for polynomial division are provided. Rules for constructing flow charts are given. (DT)
Descriptors: Algorithms, College Mathematics, Elementary Secondary Education, Flow Charts
Vest, Floyd – MATYC Journal, 1980
A mathematical treatment of the relationship between driving speed and fuel efficiency is presented. The material involves applications of exponentials, logarithms, and elementary calculus, and is intended to be enrichment material for secondary and lower college mathematics classes. (MP)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Enrichment Activities, Higher Education, Mathematical Applications
Eisner, Milton P. – MATYC Journal, 1980
Mathematical problems associated with computing the proper apportionment of Representatives to the United States Congress are reviewed. (MP)
