Basic statistical concepts are discussed, steps for generating data having any desired correlation are outlined, and a flowchart, a BASIC computer program, and sample results are provided. (DT)

A computer program is given to simulate the operation of the Galton quincunx, a device to approximate a normal distribution. (MNS)

A model computer which uses a common egg carton to represent computer memory is suggested for giving students a basic understanding of a computer's organization. Several programs using the model are included. (MN)

The MIU system is presented as a potential instruction unit in mathematics involving the derivation of theorems. A program written in BASIC is included that can be used to generate new theorems. The MIU system can give students a glimpse into the meaning of artificial intelligence. (MP)

An introductory unit on slope, designed to give students a chance to discover some of the basic relationships between functions and slopes, is described. Programs written in BASIC for PET microcomputers were used. It is felt that students have the background to understand derivatives after experiences with this unit. (MP)

An easy way to construct a dodecahedron, interesting connections between conic sections in the Cartesian system and limacons in the polar coordinate system, and the use of u-substitutions in simplifying the integration of certain functions are all explored. A BASIC program is provided with the limacon-conic section discussion. (MP)

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)

Ways are suggested in which economists and applied mathematicians construct and use models to study the economy. Several models are developed, each accompanied by a BASIC computer program to test its assumptions. (DT)

A problem from number theory is used to illustrate the use of the computer and programable calculators in solving problems. Programs are included. (MP)

This discussion focuses on the problem computer users have in coding basic, traditional algebraic expressions into simple, all-on-one-line expressions as result of their heavy dependence on juxtaposition notation. (MN)

The use of exponentiation as a starting point for an open-ended exploration of real number ideas is presented. (MP)
