Turtle Geometry presents an innovative program of |
|
mathematical discovery that demonstrates how the |
|
effective use of personal computers can profoundly change |
|
the nature of a student's contact with mathematics. Using |
|
this book and a few simple computer programs, students |
|
can explore the properties of space by following an |
|
imaginary turtle across the screen. The concept of turtle |
|
geometry grew out of the Logo Group at MIT. Directed by |
|
Seymour Papert, author of Mindstorms, this group has done |
|
extensive work with preschool children, high school |
|
students and university undergraduates. |
|
|
|
The open access edition of this book was made possible by |
|
generous funding from Arcadia a charitable fund of Lisbet |
|
Rausing and Peter Baldwin. |
