Calculator Calculations

The Mathematics Teacher, 1979
It is certainly true that there are many calculations that are difficult, if not practically impossible, without the aid of a calculator. The article “Calculations You Would Never Make without a Minicalculator” (Litwiller & Duncan 1977) illustrates a sample of these.

Calculating with Automata

2008
Some elements are presented of a forthcoming textbook on automata theory and formal languages, that puts more emphasis on equational reasoning. Some advantages of such an approach are discussed. This paper is dedicated to Ugo Montanari, who has contributed such a lot to concurrency theory and the theory of computational models.

Survey calculations

ACM SIGCSE Bulletin, 2004
One of my passions in life is to try and understand how we have developed the wonderful calculating ability we currently possess. Anyone with this hobby will undoubtedly start by looking back to see how the first PCs were developed, then progress back to older "mainframe" computers, and perhaps even to pre-computer mechanical devices.

Calendrical calculations

Software: Practice and Experience, 1990
AbstractA unified, algorithmic presentation is given for the Gregorian (current civil), ISO, Julian (old civil), Islamic (Moslem), and Hebrew (Jewish) calendars. Easy conversion among these calendars is a byproduct of the approach, as is the determination of secular and religious holidays.

Calculating with requirements

Proceedings of ISRE '97: 3rd IEEE International Symposium on Requirements Engineering, 2002
The author considers how many issues in requirements engineering can be explored and analyzed using automated formal methods. At present, the tools supporting these analyses are not ideal: considerable knowledge and experience are required to select the most appropriate tool for a given task, to formulate the problem in a suitable manner, and to coax ...

Binary Calculation

Journal of the Institute of Actuaries, 1936
1. The development of this paper involves the consideration of certain arithmetical, mechanical, and photo-electrical technicalities, but the ultimate aim is a very simple one and it may therefore be advisable to state it at once. The ultimate aim is to persuade the whole civilized world to abandon decimal numeration and to use octonal numeration in ...

The calculation of Easter?

Communications of the ACM, 1962
Here are two programs, written to demonstrate ALGOL and COBOL. Object: to determine the month and day of Easter, given the year. The ALGOL program (1) is written as a procedure, which sets up "month" and "day" given the value of "year." The COBOL program (2) prepares a printed table of Easter date, from 500 to 4999 A.D.
