A superintendent discusses the applications he is finding for a computer in his school district. (LS)

Describes material used in a first semester introductory physics laboratory for nonscience majors. The computer is used for data manipulation and in some cases, computer programs allow simulation of experiments with the possibility of altering values of parameters or experimental details. (Author/TS)

Describes a course entitled Computer Applications in Science," offered by the Physics Department at Queen Mary College, London. Lists topics included in the lectures and topics handled by means of computer projects assigned to students. (Author/TS)

A report on the development and use of a course developed by the Center for Research in College Instruction of Science and Mathematics (CRICISAM) at Florida State University. (MM)

Described is a computerized program which includes the following features: (1) a vocational program which helps a student evaluate his ability and suggests possible work areas; (2) an educational program which helps students plan course of study; and (3) a remedial program which corrects defects in student's previous training. (Author/CJ)

Describes an experiment in computer assisted instruction in German conducted during 1967-68 at the State University of New York (SUNY), Stonybrook, Long Island. Presented as a paper at the International meeting of the New York State Federation of Foreign Language Teachers and the Ontario Modern Language Teachers Association, Buffalo, New York,…

A specialized computer network provides instant access to information on grants in force on the 22 campuses of the State University of New York. (KJ)

Discusses factors relevant to decisionmaking in computer-assisted instruction such as costs, financing, technological and sociological difficulties, and administrative use. (Author)

Taking a prototype chemical reaction (molecular hydrogen plus hydrogen atom), constructs an accurate semiempirical, generalized diatomics-in-molecules potential energy surface, calculates motions of these atoms on this surface using REACTS trajectory program, and presents results as moving picture on a microcomputer graphics system. Provides…

When problems defy solution, mathematicians can settle for "almost." This branch of mathematics (called computational complexity) encompasses both the number of parts involved in a problem and the intricacy of their interrelatedness. Current research in this area is discussed, considering various computer applications involved. (JN)

Discusses chemometrics (analysis of data from chemical measurements), tracing developments in this area and summarizing reasons for teaching chemometrics. Includes highlights of presentations given at a symposium (Interpreting Complex Chemical Data: Teaching Chemometrics) and brief descriptions of chemometric methods. (JN)
