Norman, Zachary, manager of the Harvard Computing Center, said yesterday that at least one of the computers to be installed as part of Harvard's computer expansion program will be equipped to transmit televised answers as the Santa Barbara computer does.
A computer 3000 miles away is being used in a seminar at Harvard studying mathematics and how to teach it.
A television-like receiver in Cambridge is connected by cable and microwave with the computer, which is at the University of California in Santa Barbara.
The computer accepts problems wired from Cambridge and translates its calculations into televised diagrams showing the step-by-step process of solving the problems.
Anthony G. Oettinger '51, Gordon McKay Professor of Applied Mathematics and leader of the graduate seminar "Technological Aids to Creative Thought," first thought of linking Harvard to the Santa Barbara computer more than a year ago.
