The method described here converts a given problem in a base other than ten to a related problem in base ten, solves the related problem in base ten, and converts the answer back to the original base. Limitations are discussed. (MP)

The patterns of the coefficients in the expansion of (x + y +z)n are discussed, and a recursive property is developed as a generalization of the Pascal triangle. (MP)

Shortcuts to use when performing operations with the calculator are given. Algorithms discussed include reciprocals, powers, parentheses, infinite series, and synthetic division. (MP)

An algorithm for the calculator is given for determining the day of the week for any date. An instructional sheet, a worksheet, and a BASIC program are included. (MP)

A straight forward process for working in fractions on any calculator is presented. The method involves converting a decimal back into a fraction in its lowest terms. (MN)

Algorithms are developed and presented for the addition and multiplication of positive rational numbers using only their repeating decimal representation. (MN)

Calculators are a big help in extending classroom activities and this article took a look at how the students of tomorrow might use them. (RK)

Presents compact algorithms, suitable for use with hand held calculators, for the calculation of potentiometric titration curves. (SL)

Presents an exact equation for calculating the volume of titrant as a function of the hydrogen ion concentration suitable for calculation on a hand held calculator. (SL)

This research investigates whether subjects who receive the premises for a linear ordering in story format acquire a different memory structure and use a different solution algorithm than subjects who receive the same premises in equation format. (Author/RK)

Several algorithms for solving initial value differential equation problems using the definitions of derivative and integral and a computer are discussed. (MN)

Reviews the mathematical properties of algorithms and problems which can not be resolved by present methods in mathematics. (SL)

Describes the simulation of a nearest neighbor searching algorithm for document retrieval using a pool of microprocessors. Three techniques are described which allow parallel searching of a binary search tree as well as a PASCAL-based system, PASSIM, which can simulate these techniques. Fifty-six references are provided. (Author/LRW)

Presents a comprehensive framework for modeling a hypergame: a game in which one or more players have misperceptions about the true nature of a dispute. A new hypergame analysis algorithm is devised for executing stability analyses and the efficacy of this new approach is demonstrated in a discussion of the Falkland--Malvinas conflict of 1982.…

Describes the current status and limitations of expert systems, and explores the possible applications of such systems in education and training. The use of expert systems as tutors, as job aids, and as a vehicle for students to develop their own expert systems on specific topics are discussed. (40 references) (CLB)
