The material is divided into two equal parts: the first, Size and Shape (topics in classical and projective geometry, as well as trigonometry); and the second, Time and Space (matters handled by
coordinate geometry and differential calculus), in which motion plays an important role in generating curves and sweeping out regions as well as being a concept to analyze mathematically.
Ivanov presents mathematical problems at about the first-year university level for teachers, students, and others interested in mathematics who have at least a high-school senior or first-year university calculus understanding of functions, quadratic equations, mathematical induction, Euclidean geometry of triangles and circles, and
coordinate geometry as it applies to these figures and to parabolas.
For every algebraic structure, there is an equal geometrical representation in
coordinate geometry. Markus Hohenwarter used the approach of Descartes and combined algebra and geometry into software language (GeoGebra).
For example
Coordinate Geometry (Ventura Educational Systems, 2013) scaffolds the learning throughout the app as students learn new concepts, have the opportunity to apply these concepts, and then are quizzed on what they have learned.
"In one set, one question on
coordinate geometry had a callous error confusing the students.
Principles and Geometry Specify locations and describe Standards for School spatial relationships using Mathematics Grades
coordinate geometry and other 6-8 (NCTM, 2000) representational systems.
The topics include a review of some basic concepts of algebra,
coordinate geometry and graphing techniques, polynomial and rational functions, systems of equations, conic sections, and sequences and mathematical induction.
This is the usual sign convention of Cartesian
coordinate geometry.
Activities explored include connecting midpoints of sides of polygons, identifying and classifying quadrilaterals through
coordinate geometry and constructing the formulae for finding the midpoint and the distance between two points and for the area and volume of familiar figures.
In post-16 mathematics the major content is
coordinate geometry in the plane.
The purpose of this work is to develop a generic algorithm, to do an offset between planners and spherical 3D objects through segmentation and non-manifold operations with the help of 3D
coordinate geometry.
