Constructing, Measuring, and Calculating
The primary goal of this document is to give the readers an experiential understanding of the distinction between mathematical inquiry and scientific inquiry. It also has a secondary goal: to provide an experiential understanding of the distinction between the geometry of flat surfaces and the geometry of spherical surfaces.
Constructing Theories of Geometry with Excursions into Biology
This book is an attempt to introduce the reader to the art and craft of theory construction. While we use geometry as the terrain for practice, our focus is on the methodological strategies and techniques of value in all domains of theory construction, not on the ‘facts’ of geometry that students learn in textbooks. We […]
