Given is an example of the solution of maximum-minimum problems by replacing differentiation techniques with microcomputers and simple BASIC programs. (MNS)

A realistic problem is presented, computing the probability of winning a sports playoff series if the probability if winning a single game is known. Only simple permutation formulas and some basic logic are required to solve the problem. Two computer programs and a discussion of solution methods are included. (MNS)

Use of the computer to simulate or imitate probability problems that are difficult to analyze in any other way is discussed. How the Monte Carlo method works is clarified, with sample problems and programs. (MNS)

Seven applications problems are presented for gifted students to solve by writing microcomputer programs. (MNS)

An application of functions and their inverses is described--the coding and decoding of messages, or cryptographs. The helpfulness of computers is noted, with two programs listed. (MNS)

Presented are two problems that can be solved using a computer simulation by students who have completed Algebra II. The distance and bisector formulas and the various forms of the equations of a circle and straight line are the topics. Computer program listings are included. (MNS)

One schools' experiences with mathematics contests are described, with American Pi, the Great Calculator Contest, and the Forest View Math Olympics in problem solving each detailed. (MNS)

How the microcomputer can be used to reinforce basic statistical concepts and techniques is presented. The methods for achieving this include specific statistical problems, projects, games, and simulations for use with microcomputers. (MNS)

Three probability problems designed to challenge students are presented: Liars and Diamonds, Heads Wins, and Random Walks. Other statistic problems are suggested that could involve computer simulations. (MNS)
