Some Applications Of The Principles Of Isomorphism And Variation To The Teaching Of Geometry, Ralph Mock
Some Applications Of The Principles Of Isomorphism And Variation To The Teaching Of Geometry, Ralph Mock
Mathematics & Statistics ETDs
In summary, it should be stressed that the numerous examples of this paper are important only in so much as they illustrate the use of the devices and concepts emphasized in the study. It is our premise that plane geometry, as usually taught, does not possess the value which it might have. Certain changes in content as well as in presentation would materially improve the course. This study, then, presents suggestions for improving the ordinary course in two directions. First, by presenting logical propositions from the students' experiences which are partially isomorphic to the theorems of plane geometry, it is …

The problem of this study is to determine the relative efficiency of the more important formulae for approximating the rate of interest involved in an amortization plan when the amount of the debt, the amount of the periodic payment, and the number of periods are known. By efficiency this meant the degree of accuracy obtainable, and the time required for solution.
