Programs are listed for integer powers and fractional powers, with discussion of how to use them in instruction. (MNS)

Described is a computer program that uses an interesting matrix method to generate Pythagorean triples. Program listings and output for two programs are included. (MNS)

Reported are several attempts to approximate Pi by using a microcomputer to calculate the ratio of the perimeter to the diameter of regular polygons enscribed in a circle. Three computer programs are listed. (MNS)

A method of using microcomputers to teach polar coordinates and graphing is described. Two computer programs plus illustrations are included. (MNS)

The use of a computer program written in BASIC to help prove a theorem in geometry is discussed. Ideas used in this example could be applied to writing programs for other geometric proofs. (MP)

Given is an example of the solution of maximum-minimum problems by replacing differentiation techniques with microcomputers and simple BASIC programs. (MNS)

A hypothetical classroom discussion is used to present concepts and problems students can master. Three computer programs are listed for binomial probabilities. (MNS)

Brief articles on producing videotapes of the execution of a program on a microcomputer, an illustration of the sums of numbers and squares, and the distance from a point to a line are included. (MNS)

Activities for investigating how the value of a variable in an equation affects the direction and shape of the graph are given. A computer program and three worksheets are included. (MNS)

Presented are two problems that can be solved using a computer simulation by students who have completed Algebra II. The distance and bisector formulas and the various forms of the equations of a circle and straight line are the topics. Computer program listings are included. (MNS)

Two different numerical methods, the bisection method and simple iteration, are discussed and illustrated by approximating the real solution of an equation, with programs for the two methods included. Alternative methods are also indicated. (MNS)

A description is given of work with geometry students in Weston, Massachusetts. They were aided in thinking like geometers, with a curriculum based on conjecturing and problem posing, using the Geometric Supposer series of computer programs. (MNS)

Use of Logo to teach statistical ideas is proposed for students in grades 5-10. Procedures and diagrams are suggested, with program listings for four models for graphs. (MNS)

How to take photographic slides of computer software for demonstration to large groups is explained in the first portion of this column. Then follow items on a Pythagorean curiosity and a computer approach to a nonroutine problem. (MNS)

A program developed by a high school freshman is presented that plots unusual graphs on the screen of a TRS-80 computer. The view promoted is that teachers of advanced mathematics should not be surprised if new ways of looking at the subject come from students interacting with computers. (MP)
