Flores, Alfinio; Park, Jungeun – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2018
We discuss how mathematics and secondary mathematics education majors developed an understanding of Fermat points for the triangle as well as Steiner points for the square and regular pentagon, and also of soap film configurations between parallel plates where forces are in equilibrium. The activities included the use of soap films and the…
