Description
Why is this project needed?
❑ Surfaces of Revolution is many student’s first experience with three dimensional mathematical objects.
❑ The calculations required are not the inhibitor of the student’s understanding.
❑ Visualization of these solids along with the appropriate set up are the greatest hindrance to a deep under-standing of surfaces of revolution.
❑ Other tools that create computer generated visualizations of surfaces and curves in space render them as two-dimensional projections of a three dimensional object.
❑ Other tools typically do not have the capabilities of guided instruction, exploration of concepts on carefully chosen examples, and the ability to discover new facets based on user input.
