Steuer, Michael – MATYC Journal, 1978
The calculator is used to determine the formula for computing annual yield from a savings account. (MP)
Descriptors: Banking, Calculators, College Mathematics, Computation
Lai, Theodore – MATYC Journal, 1979
Twenty-eight sources on calculators are listed in this partially annotated bibliography. (MK)
Descriptors: Annotated Bibliographies, Bibliographies, Calculators, College Mathematics
Jewell, Wallace F., Jr. – MATYC Journal, 1979
A description is given of an approach to teaching a remedial mathematics course using calculators as a complete substitute for paper-and-pencil calculation. (MP)
Descriptors: Calculators, College Mathematics, Computation, Course Descriptions
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
Eisner, Milton P. – MATYC Journal, 1979
Some of the changes in mathematics curriculum and pedagogy suggested by the calculator are described and discussed. (MK)
Descriptors: Calculators, College Mathematics, Educational Change, Higher Education
Hyatt, Herman R. – MATYC Journal, 1979
A description is given of a calculator-oriented arithmetic course given at a community college. Problem solving was the primary objective of the course. (MK)
Descriptors: Arithmetic, Calculators, College Mathematics, Community Colleges
King, Ronald Scott – MATYC Journal, 1978
A grouping procedure which systematically combines objects to satisfy a criterion specified by the investigator and groups those objects that are most alike first is discussed. Two such methods that can be easily demonstrated in the classroom setting with the aid of electronic calculators are presented. (MN)
Descriptors: Calculators, Cluster Analysis, College Mathematics, Data Analysis
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
Utterback, Allen C. – MATYC Journal, 1975
The author describes use of hand calculators and computers in the college classroom. He discusses his philosophy about their use, and presents several problems which are especially amenable to use of a computer with a plotting facility. (SD)
Descriptors: Calculators, College Mathematics, Computer Graphics, Computers
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
Sutliff, R. – MATYC Journal, 1981
Several outlines for a calculator usage course are presented, along with some suggested course objectives. The approaches seek to teach the utilization of calculators as computing devices into which formulas and calculations are translated. (MP)
