This brief article summarizes the major contributions of several British mathematicians to the development of the calculus. (SD)

Arithmetic combinations of functions and their arguments are discussed, and resulting properties are related to first-year calculus topics. (MP)

The calculator is used to determine the formula for computing annual yield from a savings account. (MP)

Two mathematical brainteasers, with solutions depending on involved trial-and-error processes, are shown to have ingenious solutions. (MP)

An examination problem and solution gives rise to the question of whether there actually exists a theorem concerning the minimal period of the sum of certain periodic functions. The author discusses such a theorem and uses the situation to support mathematical education as opposed to the teaching of mathematics. (MN)

Instructional approaches to vectors in n-space are discussed. (SD)

Instructions are given for building a flexible model used for illustrating an elliptic paraboloid, a parabolic cylinder, and a hyperbolic paraboloid. (DT)

A method is given for obtaining a fairly accurate table of common logarithms, elementary arithmetic, and linear interpolation. The author recommends the use of a calculator. (Author/MN)

A commonly used computer method of pseudo-random number generation is reviewed along with an example of a program that uses this method in one of its subroutines. (MN)

Described is a sequence of calculus courses utilizing the computer to enhance concepts and ideas in calculus. (JLH)

The author derives a method for direct computation of interest and loan payments. (SD)

A theorem concerning the solutions of systems of linear equations is presented. (SD)

Presented are recommendations from a conference on two-year college mathematics, relating to the curriculum and new technologies, collaborative efforts with secondary schools and post-secondary groups, and faculty development and renewal. (MNS)

Computer simulation provides an effective vehicle for teaching many concepts, especially in probability and statistics. Described is a simulation for the applicability of the t distribution to the estimation of a population mean when the standard deviation of the population is unknown. (MNS)

A model for teaching college remedial mathematics is presented, with information on the background, the development of the model, and the model itself, as well as a discussion of how the model is used. (MNS)
