Smith, Donald G. – MATYC Journal, 1980
A handout, developed for use with students at Arizona State University, describes Gaussian Elimination procedures to be used when working with matrices. (MK)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Higher Education, Mathematics Curriculum, Mathematics Instruction
Gibson, Edwin C. – MATYC Journal, 1979
A description of the development of three-valued logic includes construction of truth tables. (MK)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Higher Education, Logic, Logical Thinking
Zirkel, Gene – MATYC Journal, 1975
The author suggests several problems which can be investigated by beginning statistics students. All the problems discussed arise from the game Bingo. (SD)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Games, Higher Education, Instruction
Koop, Janice B. – MATYC Journal, 1980
A community college mathematics course is discussed in terms of type of student, content and goals. Particular attention is given to the role of the calculator in community college remedial mathematics courses. (MK)
Descriptors: Calculators, College Mathematics, Community Colleges, Computation
Cannon, Raymond J. – MATYC Journal, 1980
This 8-page module summarizes a 16-page module produced by Undergraduate Mathematics and its Applications Project (UMAP). (MK)

Ecker, Michael W. – MATYC Journal, 1981
An examination of a student question concerning a calculus problem leads to a discussion of some of the symmetric properties of a specific set of polynomials. (MP)
Descriptors: Calculus, College Mathematics, Graphs, Higher Education
Schwartz, Richard – MATYC Journal, 1975
Two techniques are given for helping students improve the quality of their class notes. (DT)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Higher Education, Instruction, Mathematics Education
Davis, Elwyn H. – MATYC Journal, 1981
The use of the computer as a computational tool in linear algebra is featured. The programs described evolved from an undergraduate course that ended with a unit on linear programing. (MP)
Descriptors: Algebra, College Mathematics, Computer Programs, Computer Science
King, Ronald S. – MATYC Journal, 1980
Ways of using calculators to presents the concept and methodology of concurrent processing are discussed. Several problems that could be used to compare sequential versus concurrent processing are presented. (MK)
Descriptors: Algebra, Calculators, College Mathematics, Computation
Blume, Glendon W. – MATYC Journal, 1981
A way of exploring the concept of rational and irrational numbers with calculators is outlined. The numbers and routines suggested are designed to lead to additional extensions and provide an area for student exploration. (MP)
Descriptors: Calculators, College Mathematics, Higher Education, Instructional Materials
Kennedy, Robert E.; And Others – MATYC Journal, 1980
The authors develop the idea of Niven numbers and discuss their potential usefulness in the classroom. A computer program to generate Niven numbers is provided. (MK)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs
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)
Descriptors: Algebra, Arithmetic, College Mathematics, Higher Education
Pinker, Aron – MATYC Journal, 1981
This report explains the mathematical origin of the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) approximation often used in elementary Business Mathematics courses. (MP)
