Link Post: Applying Mathematics to Web DesignMathematics and Multimedia - 0 views

  •  
    ""Mathematics is beautiful." This may sound absurd to people who wince at numbers and equations. But some of the most beautiful things in nature and our universe exhibit mathematical properties, from the smallest seashell to the biggest whirlpool galaxies. In fact, one of the greatest ancient philosophers, Aristotle, said: "The mathematical sciences particularly exhibit order, symmetry and limitation; and these are the greatest forms of the beautiful.""

Euclid's Elements available online free and interactive! | Great Maths Teaching Ideas - 0 views

  • Euclid‘s Elements is the most successful and influential textbook ever written. Only the Bible has been published in greater number.

This would be fantastic in itself but the icing on the cake is that there is an interactive geometry applet to support each postulate so you can literally interact with the maths!

Maths Maps - A New Collaborative Project | edte.ch - 0 views

  • Maths Maps – A New Collaborative Project
  • Four years ago I created Google Earth resources for the classroom and posted them to the GE Community Forum. Two of them were called Maths in Madrid and Maths in Las Vegas. These were based on the fact that there is maths all around us, every day, everywhere we look. Google Earth (and Maps) gives us a great perspective on it all. It also provides easy access for our students to see rich visual content that depicts everyday maths. I have always loved the idea of children seeing the maths they are working on.

The MegaPenny Project | Index Page - 3 views

  • isualizing huge numbers can be very difficult. People regularly talk about millions of miles, billions of bytes, or trillions of dollars, yet it's still hard to grasp just how much a "billion" really is. The MegaPenny Project aims to help by taking one small everyday item, the U.S. penny, and building on that to answer the question: "What would a billion (or a trillion) pennies look like?"
