Yiu-Kwong Man – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
In this paper, a simple proof of the Morley's Trisector Theorem is presented which involves basic plane geometry only. The use of backward geometric approach, trigonometry or advanced mathematical techniques is not required. It is suitable for introducing to secondary or undergraduate students, as well as teachers or instructors for learning or…

Harkness, Shelly Sheats; Noblitt, Bethany – Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), 2018
A student, Stuart, related perimeter to pixels and the professor, Beth, moved back and forth between "reserved believing" and "reserved doubting" and "doubting" teacher actions (Elbow, 1986; Harkness & Noblitt, 2017) while assessing the merit of his conjecture in the moment. Video allowed the researchers to…

McCartin, Brian J. – PRIMUS, 2008
This note presents geometric and physical interpretations of the sufficient condition for a critical point to be a strict relative extremum: f[subscript xx]f[subscript yy] - f[superscript 2][subscript xy] greater than 0. The role of the double derivative f[subscript xy] in this inequality will be highlighted in these interpretations. (Contains 14…

United States Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior, 1911
The work of this committee has been done in large part by three subcommittees, as follows: (1) On men's colleges; (2) On women's colleges; and (3) On coeducational colleges. The facts presented in these reports have been gathered from 60 or more leading colleges by the Bureau of Education through the use of a questionnaire, and have been…
