| Description | In the design schemes of early computers, control mechanisms common in computation and the checking of the results were introduced. In the article, I discuss the possibility of using these methods for the motivation of pupils and students in mathematics classes. I also discuss possible uses of combinatorics and geometry examples for showing the limits of computers. The results presented are based on comparing classroom experience with historical papers. |
