How to use the electronic spreadsheet (e.g., VisiCalc) creatively is discussed, with computer printouts for a number of algorithms. (MNS)

Two computer programs are given to provide simulations, for any value of n, to keep count of the frequency of the first significant digit. (MNS)

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)

Two models are presented that can be understood by students who have completed second-year algebra, as well as by calculus students. The predator-prey population model and the arms race model are included, with a computer program given for each. (MNS)

Factorials are discussed, with note of the enormous size on n! even for modest values of n. A recreational problem to determine the number of zeros at the end of numbers such as 10,000! is given, with a computer program. (MNS)

This instructional unit of five lessons and four appendices is designed to acquaint both teacher and student with the elementary aspects of computer programming. The first two sections contain background information in computer processes and in BASIC language for a time-sharing system for those teachers who have limited backgrounds and experiences…

This teaching guide is for the instructor of an introductory course in computer programming using FORTRAN language. Five FORTRAN programs are incorporated in this guide, which has been used as a FORTRAN IV SELF TEACHER. The base eight, base four, and base two concepts are integrated with FORTRAN computer programs, geoblock activities, and related…
