The development and implementation of the educational computer network in West Virginia are summarized. Task force conclusions, equipment configuration networking, clusters of terminal processors, instructional strategy, equipment, software, teacher training, improvements in communication and in instruction, and the main menu are the topics…

Numerical inaccuracies, which occur in many ordinary computations, can create serious problems and render answers meaningless. Cancellation and accumulation errors are described, and suggestions for experimentation are discussed. (MNS)

Sophisticated simulations using computer graphics can lead to students deducing virtually all conditions of the Central Limit Theorem. Eight graphs illustrate the discussion. (MNS)

Almost-Regular Polygons (ARPs) are viewed as interesting, but hardly ever noticed. The growing availability of computers means that such figures can be examined. A program written in BASIC which was developed to generate and test large blocks of cases is presented and described. (MP)

A brief introduction to the broad field of curve-fitting is provided to help explain the reasoning behind least-squares data fitting, and also to provide useful equations for two functional forms of interest in chemistry. Appendices give program examples written in Fortran and detail the method of Guggenheim. (MP)

Demonstrates that an elementary understanding of computer programing and the development and illustration of the structure of computer program analysis will be valuable assets in the understanding and teaching of mathematics and may be used as modeling devices to simulate the stages of learning.

Describes a simple and inexpensive interface to be used for data acquisition and control of some experiments in an undergraduate physics laboratory. Two specific applications are presented. Seven references are listed. (Author/MBR)

Describes a computerized information system for student records used in the Masters of Business Administration program at Texas A and M University. File design, processing procedures, and software programs are examined. (Author/JJD)
