BCME 9 - A20 Visualizing Equation Solutions

A20 - Visualizing Quadratic, Cubic, and Quartic Equation Solutions: An Introduction to Complex Numbers, Functions, and Mapping Diagrams - Links: http://users.humboldt.edu/flashman/Presentations/BCME/BCME.LINKS.html Understanding a quadratic, cubic or quartic equation and finding its solutions (roots) is a challenging part of the curriculum where students encounter a rich domain of mathematics - including geometry, numbers (real and complex), and functions. Visualising the solution of these equations is a valuable tool for meeting this challenge at any level. Starting with the representation of linear and quadratic equations, participants will take a hands on tour through visualisations including connections to the complex plane and 3D mapping diagrams for linear and quadratic complex functions, and concluding with recent work on visualising solutions to equations.
