Calculations and Canonical Elements: Part I.

Stewart, Ian; Tall, David

Mathematics in School, v8 n4 p2-5 Sep 1979

The author argues that the idea of canonical elements provides a coherent relationship between equivalence relations, the basis of modern approaches to too many mathematical topics, and the traditional aspect of computation. Examples of equivalent relations, canonical elements, and their calculations are given. (MK)
