Describes an algorithm for calculating the number of ways of folding a map, and some analytical results. (MM)

A discussion of differential equations is accompanied by an analysis of two situations whose solutions require differential equations. A computer program is given that will solve these equations. (MP)

An analysis is made of the probabilities for winning at the game of Keno, with a computer program provided that will determine expectations. (DT)

The author presents three methods for dealing with the problem of the number of tosses of a fair coin needed to obtain two consecutive heads. (MN)

A variation of the classical birthday problem is considered. A BASIC program is included in the article. (DT)

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)

Reviews the latest version of "muSimp/muMath-80," discussing the muSimp language and muMath applications. The package comes with a variety of muMath source files (including lessons, five teaching features of ARITH and ALGEBRA files and five teaching the muSimp language) and is capable of handling a wide variety of symbolic mathematics problems.…

The nature of "A Programing Language" (APL) is viewed as unambiguous, consistent, and powerful. It is based on the notion of functions as imperative verbs, and is used by a small but growing number of mathematicians and computer programers. Three areas of mathematical activity are addressed: calculation of arithmetic expressions,…

This book, second in a series dealing with scientific programing in the BASIC language, provides students, engineers, and scientists with a documented library of subroutines for scientific applications. Subjects of the eight chapters include: (1) least-squares approximation of functions and smoothing of data; (2) approximating functions by series…
