Mathematics and Computers

Divided into five short segments for easy inclusion in lectures, this engaging and accessible program uses computer-rendered models to illustrate five essential topics in mathematics. These include how the Golden Ratio is calculated and has been applied to architecture, art, and design; the ratio of similitude and how it relates to the Pythagorean Theorem and fractals; defining pi using cylinders, regular polygons, the area of a circle, and the weight of geometric cutouts; Hippocratic crescents; and cylindrical and conic sections. An excellent tool for bringing a strong visual element into the teaching of algebra and geometry. (52 minutes)
