A tool to aid elementary calculus students in the computation of unusual limits is reviewed. (MP)

Examined are the roles of several historical figures in the development of the field of geometry. Discussed are Thales, Pythagoras, Plato, Euclid, and Apollonius. (CW)

Discusses the use of graphing calculators for polar and parametric equations. Presents eight lines of the program for the graph of a parametric equation and 11 lines of the program for a graph of a polar equation. Illustrates the application of the programs for planetary motion and free-fall motion. (YP)

Describes how to measure animals pace, stride, and step angle in degrees. Presents cases of measurements for dinosaur trackways. (YP)

Supersolids furnish an ideal introduction to the calculus topic of infinite series, and are useful for combining that topic with integration. Five examples of supersolids are presented, four requiring only a few basic properties of infinite series and one requiring a number of integration principles as well as infinite series. (MNS)

Illustrated are how explorative assignments can help to expose and identify learning problems. Some assignments that address these problems and some techniques and benefits of using writing assignments are provided. (MNS)

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 crucial moment to change the speed setting on a VCR serves as the problem in which linear equations are used. (MNS)

Included are brief articles discussing chain letters as an example of exponential growth, a box technique for factoring, and integrating the inverse of a function whose integral is known. (MNS)

A problem from a course called "Introduction to Gambling" is described. A flowchart and a computer program are included. (MNS)

How physicians turn the data from tests and evaluations of patients into information useful for medical action is described. This is an important application of the distance formula. (MNS)

A game simulating a probability problem is described. Modifications of the game are discussed. (DT)

An activity that involves pattern finding, generalizing, and deductive thinking is detailed. The activity is thought to provide students with experience in these areas and to have potential for exploration at several levels. It is noted that, for small sums of money, it is not difficult to find all possible representations. (MP)

Record-breaking snowfalls are the starting point of a presentation that delves into many aspects of probability and interesting and unusual aspects of viewing independent, random phenomena. (MP)
