TECHLABS

This chapter refers to Techlab 1.1, and Techlab 1.2 which are interactive java activities demonstating how to use an automatic grapher, and how to use one to solve linear and quadratic equations. Click the links below to work each activity.

• Techlab 1.1 - Introduction to the automatic grapher, page 1-20

• Techlab 1.2 - Solving equations using an automatic grapher, page 1-24

ENRICHMENT

There are references in this chapter to essays on the contributions of the Pythagoreans to mathematics. You can follow the links to each essay below, but if you are interested in trying to understand how the Pythagoreans started the Western civilisation on the road to mathematics, I recommend that you start at the beginning
