Fay, Temple H.; Webster, Porter G. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1985
Provides examples to show that parallel coverage of convergence theorems for both series and improper integrals will tend to strengthen each other. Indicates that such coverage should also help students to better understand the concept of asymptote. (JN)

Fay, Temple H. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1986
An old way to determine asymptotes for curves described in polar coordinates is presented. Practice in solving trigonometric equations, in differentiation, and in calculating limits is involved. (MNS)

Fay, Temple H. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science & Technology, 2006
This note discusses the boundary in the frequency--amplitude plane for boundedness of solutions to the forced spring Duffing type equation. For fixed initial conditions and fixed parameter [epsilon] results are reported of a systematic numerical investigation on the global stability of solutions to the initial value problem as the parameters F and…
