Bradley Graeme Welch; Juan Carlos Ponce Campuzano – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
In this paper, we explore how the typical second year undergraduate topic of matrix diagonalisation can be applied to solve a geometric problem which arises frequently in Vector Calculus: to find the curve of intersection of a plane and a surface. We use GeoGebra, which offers a cost-free and dynamic interface, to explore a specific variant of…

Charity N. Watson; Pablo Duran; Adam Castillo; Edgar Fuller; Geoff Potvin; Laird Kramer – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
College calculus plays an important role in STEM students' degree and career aspirations. One of the key factors considered in assessing a student's ability to be successful in calculus is their proficiency in topics from prior mathematics courses such as algebra and precalculus. This study set out to examine the impact of students' precalculus…
