Zelator, Konstantine – Mathematics and Computer Education, 2005
This paper is written on a level accessible to college/university students of mathematics who are taking second-year, algebra based, mathematics courses beyond calculus I. This article combines material from geometry, trigonometry, and number theory. This integration of various techniques is an excellent experience for the serious student. The…

Sastry, K. R. S. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 2007
This paper takes a known point from Brocard geometry, a known result from the geometry of the equilateral triangle, and bring in Euler's [empty set] function. It then demonstrates how to obtain new Brocard Geometric number theory results from them. Furthermore, this paper aims to determine a [triangle]ABC whose Crelle-Brocard Point [omega]…

Sastry, K. R. S. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 2005
Mathematical historians place Heron in the first century. Right-angled triangles with integer sides and area had been determined before Heron, but he discovered such a "non" right-angled triangle, viz 13, 14, 15; 84. In view of this, triangles with integer sides and area are named "Heron triangles." The Indian mathematician Brahmagupta, born in…

Skurnick, Ronald – Mathematics and Computer Education, 2005
Pascal's Triangle is, without question, the most well-known triangular array of numbers in all of mathematics. A well-known algorithm for constructing Pascal's Triangle is based on the following two observations. The outer edges of the triangle consist of all 1's. Each number not lying on the outer edges is the sum of the two numbers above it in…

Mauch, Elizabeth; Shi, Yixun – Mathematics and Computer Education, 2005
A sequence of number pairs can be used to generate many interesting examples in teaching mathematics subjects at various levels. It is often used in elementary or middle school mathematics classes to illustrate the concept of "patterns." In this paper the authors present a few interesting ways of using this sequence to form examples for high…
