A growing body of evidence demonstrates the practical and theoretical importance of numeracy in evaluations and choices involving numeric information, an importance that goes beyond simple accuracy in performing mathematical computations. Numeric competency, however, may be multiply determined, but little research has examined potentially separable influences in evaluations and choice. In the p...

One approach is to provide Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) which allow Mathematical software to be used from within Excel, Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual Fortran etc. However, to call a DLL routine directly from Visual Basic requires detailed knowledge of both the routine’s arguments and also the manner in which they are passed to the Visual Basic calling program. It is therefore essential that...

Planning is the art to automatically find solutions to problems where a model of the world is described in terms of variables and actions. A solution to such a planning problem is a sequence of actions (called plan) transforming the initial situation to a state that satisfies a goal description. In classical planning, the world is described by Boolean variables and the field is well studied wit...

We show the architecture and design of a numeric function generator that realizes, at high speed, arithmetic functions, like log x, sin x, 1 x , etc.. This approach is general; different circuits are not needed for different functions. Further, composite functions, like log (sin ( 1 x )) can be realized as easily as individual functions. A tutorial description of the method is presented, follow...
