Turtle Geometry The Computer As a Medium for Exploring Mathematics

Turtle Geometrypresents an innovative program of mathematical discovery that demonstrates how the effective use of personal computers can profoundly change the nature of a student's contact with mathematics. Using this book and a few simple computer programs, students can explore the properties of space by following an imaginary turtle across the screen. The concept of turtle geometry grew out of the Logo Group at MIT. Directed by Seymour Papert, author of Mindstorms, this group has done extensive work with preschool children, high school students and university undergraduates.Abelson, Harold is the author of 'Turtle Geometry The Computer As a Medium for Exploring Mathematics', published 1986 under ISBN 9780262510370 and ISBN 0262510375.
