Geometry turned on! Dynamic software in learning, teaching and research

This book gives many examples of the uses and effects of dynamic geometry. This volume is a collection of articles about dynamic geometry: active, exploratory geometry carried out with interactive computer software.

The software has also become an indispensable research tool for mathematicians and scientists. This book gives many examples of the ways in which it can be used, and some of the effects it can have. It raises various questions for teaching and research. Some articles address the basic question, 'What is dynamic geometry good for?' as they discuss: accuracy of construction, visualization, exploration and discovery, motivating proof, transformations, tracing loci, simulation, and creating microworlds.
