Penner, Sidney – Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1971
by a geometric method, a one-to-one correspondence is set up between the set of real numbers and the set of all points, except one, on a circle of unit diameter. Then some interesting results relating the corresponding points and real numbers are derived. (Author/CT)

Osborne, Alan R. – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
Lines in the coordinatized plane which do not go through the origin can be designated by the ordered pair of intercepts. The enrichment unit described illustrates duality in mathematics. (SD)

Vajda, S. – Mathematical Spectrum, 1969
Discussed are some applications of Euler's Formula N plus F minus E equals Z, where N, F, and E are respectively the number of vertices, faces, and edges of a planar figure. In particular, the Four-Color Problem is proved for the special case of five countries. (CT)

Szabo, Steven – 1971
It is extremely difficult to extend in a natural way the concepts developed in high school geometry to motivate the concepts of trigonometry. To solve this difficultry, the author defines "sensed angles" as ordered pairs of rays and makes appropriate definitions which yield the familiar angle properties of plane geometry. He then shows how this…

Fay, Temple H. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1982
Results are presented of an impromptu exploration of polar formulas for volumes of revolution for certain plane regions. The material is thought to be unique, and to offer room for student exploration. It is felt pupil investigation can lead to increased pupil interest in both polar coordinates and calculus. (MP)
