This session will demonstrate and share several math lessons that
allow students to interact with the web. The lessons will cover
several high school mathematics topics in grades 8 thru 12 and will
use volunteers from the EXPO audience to demonstrate. This
presentation goes beyond simply downloading data from the world-wide
web.

At Friends University, a college algebra course has been developed
that uses E-mail to deliver the lessons and web-based quizzes. This

Parametrics, Polars, Powers, and Polygons, Part II
-
This talk will cover some of the basics of generating the roots of
complex numbers through parametric and polar equations with the use of
regular polygons (as in last year's talk). Then the speaker will
continue by demonstrating the powers of complex numbers through a
spiral and by generating the conic sections using both polar and
parametric equations. He will use the Sharp EL9600 to demonstrate and
will have calculators for participants to use during the session.
