![]() Most of the projects in the first two parts of the book have been workedthrough by students at Woburn High School, often without assistance from a teacher.In three parts,Investigations in Algebra emphasizes the treatment of functions as concrete objects modeled as Logoprocedures, applies the techniques of induction and recursion to combinatorial problems, and takesup topics in number theory (including unique factorization congruence, and multiplicativefunctions). View: 3193Investigations in Algebra departs from a preoccupation with calculus as the ultimategoal of and the universal introduction to advanced mathematics by using Logo to explorecombinatorics, number theory, the study of discrete functions, and other topics that are not on thetraditional path to calculus.This approach encourages students to participate actively in excitingmathematics, developing in them a facility for abstraction and an appreciation for the power ofmathematical methods.
