โœฆ Synopsis

LOGO is a programming language incorporating turtle graphics, originally devised for teaching computing to young children in elementary and middle schools. Here, we advocate the use of LOGO to help introduce some of the basic concepts of computer graphics and computer-aided design to undergraduate and graduate students in colleges and universities. We shall show how to motivate affine coordinates and affine transformations, fractal curves and iterated function systems, relaxation methods and subdivision schemes from elementary notions in turtle geometry and turtle programming.

When a computer is used in electric circuit design it forms part of an iterative loop and so the ergonomics of its input and output become of major importance. A circuit analysis program is described, which uses interactive graphics, and which was designed with particular attention given to ergonomi
