A Multi-Purpose Visual Aid

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  03 November 2016

Extract

The purpose of this article is to describe some apparatus which is easy to construct from materials that are reasonably cheap, and which has been found useful as a visual aid in many branches of elementary mathematics. It is thought that this apparatus will satisfy the need to which attention is drawn in § 4.8 of the Trigonometry Report, although it was being used before the report was published. After the apparatus has been described, some of its applications will be briefly indicated and a more detailed account of one application will follow.
