Mathematics Teaching, 1980
Four different types of problems from graph theory are presented and discussed. (MK)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Graphs, Higher Education, Mathematical Applications
Peer reviewedPollak, Henry – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1989
Possible ways of mechanization for counting using a binary system are discussed. Shows a binary representation of the numbers and geometric models having eight triples of lamps. Provides three problem sets. (YP)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computation, Geometric Constructions, Geometry
Peer reviewedTrotter, William T. – College Mathematics Journal, 1989
Presents an example from the combinatorial theory of partially ordered sets. Discusses algorithms of on-line antichain partitioning problems, a topic in discrete optimization. (YP)
Descriptors: Algorithms, College Mathematics, Mathematical Enrichment, Mathematical Formulas
Peer reviewedJoyner, Virginia G.; Haggard, Paul W. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1990
Discusses how to express an n factorial as a product of powers of primes. Provides two examples and answers. Presents four related suggestions. (YP)
Descriptors: Algorithms, College Mathematics, Computation, Division
Peer reviewedMathematics Teacher, 1980
The method used at airports in determining the cloud height at night is presented. Several problems, the equation used, and a simple design of an alidade (an instrument that shows cloud heights directly) are also included. (MP)

Peer reviewedMiddlecamp, Catherine; Kean, Elizabeth – Journal of Chemical Education, 1987
Discusses the difference between a generic chemistry problem (one which can be solved using an algorithm) and a harder chemistry problem (one for which there is no algorithm). Encourages teachers to help students recognize these categories of problems so they will be better able to find solutions. (TW)

Exner, Robert; And Others – 1973
The sixteen chapters of this book provide the core material for the Elements of Mathematics Program, a secondary sequence developed for highly motivated students with strong verbal abilities. The sequence is based on a functional-relational approach to mathematics teaching, and emphasizes teaching by analysis of real-life situations. This text is…

Peer reviewedBodner, George M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1987
Differentiates between problems, exercises and algorithms. Discusses the role of algorithms in solving problems and exercises in chemistry. Suggests that very real differences exist between solving problems and exercises, and that problem solving steps can be and should be taught in chemistry education. (TW)

Peer reviewedAslan, Farhad; Duck, Howard – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
P-adic or g-adic sets are sets of elements formed by linear combinations of powers of p, a prime number, or g, a counting number, where the coefficients are whole numbers less than p or g. Discusses exercises illustrating basic numerical operations for p-adic and g-adic sets. Provides BASIC computer programs to verify the solutions. (MDH)
