An Analysis of the Morris Loe Angle Trisection Approximation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Aslan, Farhad,; And Others – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
Presents the Morris Loe Angle Trisection Approximation Method to introduce students to areas of mathematics where approximations are used when exact answers are difficult or impossible to obtain. Examines the accuracy of the method using the laws of sines and cosines and a BASIC computer program that is provided. (MDH)

Tile Patterns with LOGO--Part III: Tile Patterns from Mult Tiles Using Logo.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Clason, Robert G. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1991
A mult tile is a set of polygons each of which can be dissected into smaller polygons similar to the original set of polygons. Using a recursive LOGO method that requires solutions to various geometry and trigonometry problems, dissections of mult tiles are carried out repeatedly to produce tile patterns. (MDH)
