Peer reviewedKendig, Keith M. – American Mathematical Monthly, 1983
People are noted as intrigued for centuries by interplay between algebra and geometry with many important advances viewed to have come down through some sort of linking of the two. Examples are given of advantages to learning and discovery that can be found in an investigative approach combining them. (Author/MP)

Ward, John – Samuel Fuller, 1731
This textbook is a young mathematician's guide to mathematics. The following five parts are presented: (1) Arithmetick, vulgar, and decimal, with all the useful rules; and a general method of extracting the roots of all single powers; (2) Algebra, or arithmetick in species; wherein the method of raising and resolving equations is rendered easie;…

Haven, Kendall F. – 1998
Any topic, math included, becomes more accessible and understandable when human stories are related about the development of the subject. Stories make subjects real and purposeful. They provide a foundation from which students can understand and appreciate mathematics rather than merely memorize a series of rote exercises. This book presents 16…

Peer reviewedAichele, Douglas B. – School Science and Mathematics, 1982
Three examples are presented which involve constructions employing a compass, a centimeter ruler, and a calculator. Employing mathematical tools to support understanding and discovery of mathematical principles is viewed as being clearly a desire of mathematics educators, but it is felt such tools are not frequently used to their fullest.
