Peer reviewedFilimonov, Rossen; Kreith, Kurt – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1992
Describes the Plane Geometry System computer software developed at the Educational Computer Systems laboratory in Sofia, Bulgaria. The system enables students to use the concept of "algorithm" to correspond to the process of "deductive proof" in the development of plane geometry. Provides an example of the software's capability…
