On Mathematical Visualization and the Place Where We Live.

Noble, Tracy; Nemirovsky, Ricardo

Educational Studies in Mathematics, v33 n2 p99-131 Jul 1997

Reports on the case study of a high school student using a computer-based tool called the Contour Analyzer to create graphs of height versus distance and slope versus distance for a flat board positioned with different slants and orientations. Focuses on visually recognizing the mathematical behavior of the slope versus distance function which corresponds to contours traced on a flat board. (AIM)
