A Computer-Based Investigation in Algebra.

Winter, M. J.

Mathematics Teacher, v77 n3 p203-07 Mar 1984

How to find and classify positive integral solutions to 1/a + 1/b = 1/c in beginning and advanced algebra classes is described. The computer finds the solutions, but students practice algebraic manipulation as they analyze the solutions for patterns. Extensions to challenge more capable students are included. (MNS)
