A Tale of Two Mathematicians - An interactive Play
After my students completed the AP Calculus Exam during my first year of teaching AP Calculus, I continued covering material from our calculus text. However, the students struggled because the material was more difficult and, more realistically, their enthusiasm had diminished significantly after the demanding schedule that led up to the AP Exam. Therefore, I began looking for alternative mathematics that could be used to motivate students and maintain their interest after completing the AP Ex

Area Under the Curve - Calculus
This is a stand alone program written in Visual Basic. The program will find areas by LRAM, RRAM, Trapezoids, and Integration. The user may enter multiple coefficients for each function, choose the xmin and xmax, and choose the number of regions by which to divide the domain.
Functions include:
All 6 Trigonometric Functions, Common Log, Natural Log, Rational Functions to the 3rd degree, and Polynomials to the 5th degree.

In Search Of Newton Activity
New: Included a pdf file for a colored 23 5/8 " x 33 " poster in addition to the original two 8.5" x 11" colored masters.The "In Search of Newton" activity is intended as a challenge puzzle for students who have completed geometry and a second year of algebra. Specifically, this activity attempts to provide some insight into the personalities and accomplishments of ten of the greatest mathematicians of all time. At the same time, it introduces some of the mathematics of these individuals that mi

When will the Earth stop spinning?
Every bit of knowledge can be very powerful in solving even highly complicated looking problems. In this study, I present a scientific (semi-empirical) path which leads the reader to the answer to the question: "When will the Earth stop spinning?". Practically, using the high school Physics and Math knowledge, that how a scientist would predict the fate of the Earth's spin is shown. I intend to make high school students, who have taken AP Physics classes, realize how powerful the knowledge they
SMOOTH GOLDEN EGGS
GOLDEN RATIO in EGG SHAPESHere, I use Golden Ratio to plot different egg shapes with smooth surfaces, with the help of a mathematical function I propose in this paper. It is an extremely fun activity you can conduct with your math students who have some knowledge on functions, limits, and derivatives. As mentioned above, in this paper, I intend to demonstrate how to plot smooth “Golden Eggs” using mathematical functions. In order to do that, I first review a proposed shape for a Golden Egg, whi
