Other editions of book The Math-Computer Connection

“The Math-Computer Connection” explains how to write fundamental programs using the computer language BASIC to solve math problems, use mathematical formulas, generate tables, and make calculations. In fact, author Thomas explains here how math can make your life more exciting and how computers can make doing math less tedious and more fun. You no longer need to get bogged down in mountains of boring calculations when you’re compiling statistics on your favorite baseball teams, in science class, or shopping for bicycle parts. The math isn’t too hard, the programs are written in simple BASIC that runs on most microcomputers, and everything is explained clearly. Better yet, Dr. Thomas knows how to be interesting! Opportunities for independent work abound: each chapter concludes with a series of projects, and other problems are woven into the text to challenge your skills and imagination. [Juvenile Nonfiction]
