Fractal detail of a quaternion Julia set created by Laura E. Baldwin

For many people, 'geometry' conjures up only 'two-column proofs.' But it also means such things as paper folding, artistic creation, computer animation, and much more. Click the button above and to the left for more about Math 120.

Projects

Above is an example of a simple creation using dynamic geometry software. Click on the image to go to an interactive version, click on Animate, stop the animation, click on Reload, and try moving the "live" red points and animating again.

About The Instructor

Playground

The pages contain information about the course structure, announcements, grading, assignments, resources, etc., BUT ... I'm most interested in your development of: Questions, Conjectures, Problem Solution Attempts, and New Problems.

Happy Exploring!!
