-
Geometry Expressions fills the gap between Geometry software
and Algebra applications by allowing the user to quickly sketch a simple
or complex geometrical drawing, then producing the algebraic description.
- Native
American Geometry - a physical, proportional geometry that
originates from the simple circle. A growing body of architectural and iconographic
evidence from Native America suggests it was a relatively common tradition
that has been practiced for at least two thousand years. This is the same
type of geometry that was discovered and developed by the ancestors of many
peoples in many places, from China to the Mediterranean Basin to the British
Isles.
- Geometry from the Land
of the Incas - A Peruvian site with Euclidean geometry problems
involving circles and triangles, with proofs, animation and sound: Poncelet,
Napoleon, Eyeball, Steiner, Carnot, Sangaku, Morley, Langley and the Butterfly
Theorem. You can also investigate Inca Geometry (Cuzco, Machu Picchu, Incan
Quipu, Nazca Lines, Lord of Sipan); and quotes from Descartes, Galileo,
Newton, Pappus, Plato, Poincaré, Voltaire, and try some quizzes.
