Extractions: Jodi Crane, Linda Stevens, and Dave Wiggins This site constitutes our final project for Math 5337-Computational Methods in Elementary Geometry , taken at the University of Minnesota's Geometry Center during Winter of 1996. This course could be entitled "Technology in the Geometry Classroom" as one of its more important objectives is to provide students (presumably math educators) with a wide variety of activities (demonstrations and assignments) utilizing computer software that could be incorporated into a high school geometry classroom. This page has been designed to provide an interactive technological resource for students studying elementary high school geometry. Basic concepts, conjectures, and theorems found in typical geometry texts are introduced, explained, and investigated. Follow-up activities are provided to further demonstrate meanings and applications of concepts. The objective is to ensure that students develop a firm understanding of both the content and applications of each main idea given below in the list of conjectures. Working towards this objective, we have included:

Extractions: Hardy-Littlewood Conjectures The first Hardy-Littlewood conjecture is called the k -tuple conjecture . It states that the asymptotic number of prime constellations can be computed explicitly. A particular case gives the so-called strong twin prime conjecture The second Hardy-Littlewood conjecture states that for all , where is the prime counting function The following table summarizes the first few values of for integer and , 2, .... The values of this function are plotted above. Sloane for Although it is not obvious, Richards (1974) proved that the first and second conjectures are incompatible with each other.

Extractions: ANTHONY TROLLOPE When I received the list of participants in this course and realized that I had been asked to speak to philosophical colleagues I thought, after some hesitation and consultation, that you would probably prefer me to speak about those problems which interest me most, and about those developments with which I am most intimately acquainted. I therefore decided to do what I have never done before: to give you a report on my own work in the philosophy of science, since the autumn of1919 when I first began to grapple with the problem, "When should a theory be ranked as scientific?" or "Is there a criterion for the scientific character or status of a theory?" The problem which troubled me at the time was neither, "When is a theory true?"nor, "When is a theory acceptable?" My problem was different. I wished to distinguish between science and pseudo-science;

Extractions: Triangle Conjectures Grade level: Freshman/Sophomore Content Area: Geometry Curriculum: Discovery of Triangle Inequality Conjecture, Side-Angle Inequality Conjecture, Triangle Exterior Angle Conjecture Materials: Compass, Protractor, Patty Paper, Scissors, Ruler, Worksheets, Journal Warm Up: Journal Questions: Can you form a triangle out of any three sticks? Is there a relationship between the size of the angles and the lengths of the sides of a triangle? (While students are writing pass out all necessary materials. Discuss questions to find out what students think. Let them use the following activities to verify or negate their hypotheses.) Lesson: 1a) Triangle Inequality Conjecture Worksheet (Have students work in groups of two or three: individually completing the worksheet, but collaborating their ideas in small group discussion.) 1b) Questions to ask: Were you able to construct a triangle each time? Why or why not? (Have students formulate the Triangle Inequality Conjecture. Write it out on board: "The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is larger than the length of the third side.") 2a) Side-Angle Inequality Conjecture Worksheet (Have some students use acute triangles and others use obtuse angles. Allow for group discussion)

Lore Of The Unicorn: Chapter VIII. Conjectures
Lore of the Unicorn, by Odell Shepard, 1930, full text etext at sacredtexts.com
http://www.sacred-texts.com/etc/lou/lou10.htm

Extractions: Lore of the Unicorn , by Odell Shepard, [1930], at sacred-texts.com CHAPTER VIII CONJECTURES HAVING considered some of the more important arguments and observations that have been advanced to prove the existence or non-existence of the unicorn, we may now assume the role of the sceptic who regards the whole legend as probably a product of the fancy, asking ourselves how the belief first arose. This question plunges us at once into the remote past; it forces us to think as much as possible in the way of men whose mental habit was very different from our own; it is a question, therefore, to which no conclusive answer, carrying final conviction to all, can be expected. I shall arrange my conjectures in the order of plausibility, passing from those one feels tempted to accept immediately to others that may seem at first highly dubious. Several authoritative scholars have held that the unicorn legend derives entirely from Oriental beliefs about the rhinoceros. This was the opinion of Cuvier, for example, a man whose expert knowledge and good sense command respect, and it is an opinion in keeping with the tendency of our time to prefer the light of common day to "the light that never was". An impressive "case" can be made out for this view. The parallelism between the two traditions may be shown in the words of a famous traveller of the sixteenth century. Linschoeten says of the rhinoceros that "some think it is the right Unicorne, because that as yet there hath no other bin found, but only by hearesay and by the pictures of them. The Portingalles and those of Bengala affirme that by the River Ganges in the Kingdome of Bengala are many of these Rhinoceros, which when they will drinke the other beasts stand and waite upon them till the Rhinoceros hath drinke, and thrust their horne into the water, for he cannot drinke but his horne must be under the water because it standeth so close unto his nose and muzzle: and then after him all the other beastes doe drinke. Their hornes in India are much esteemed and used against all venime, poyson, and many other diseases . . . which is very good and most true, as I myselfe by experience have found."

http://serc.carleton.edu/sp/library/conjecture/index.html

Extractions: Having students make and test conjectures is an effective way of engaging them in learning and helping them develop their reasoning abilities. Conjectures by definition are inferences or judgments based on inconclusive or incomplete evidence (American Heritage Dictionary, 2006). They are statements, opinions or conclusions based on guesswork. To Learn More. . . Constructivist theory supports having students make and test conjectures. Constructivism is built on the foundations of Piaget (1950), Ausubel (1960), and Rumelhart (1991) and contends that students construct their own knowledge and are not just passive receivers of information. Students construct new knowledge based on their past experiences and previously acquired knowledge.
Unsolved Problems

Extractions: Understanding Mathematics by Peter Alfeld, Department of Mathematics, University of Utah One of the things that turned me on to math were some simple sounding but unsolved problems that were easy for a high school student to understand. This page lists some of them. To understand them you need to understand the concept of a prime number A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that can be divided evenly only by 1 and itself. Thus the first few prime numbers are You can see a longer list of prime numbers if you like. Named after the number theorist Christian Goldbach (1690-1764). The problem: is it possible to write every even number greater than 2 as the sum of two primes? The conjecture says "yes", but nobody knows. You can explore the Goldbach conjecture interactively with the Prime Machine applet.
