  • Coming up with good topics for students' mathematical projects is hard. Technology can help extend the range of problems students can tackle, by using Geometry Expressions to create explicit mathematical models and computer algebra systems to solve them. The speaker will describe summer projects of grades 10–11 students over the last five years.
