October 16 – Mathematical Proofs
Posted in meeting, tagged angle bisector, Branislav Kisacanin, Cassini Identity, direct proofs, Euclid, Fibonnacci, Mathematical Problems and Proofs, proof by contradiction, proof by induction, USAMO, USAMTS on October 10, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Computing a correct answer is sufficient for most grade school work, but proving that something must be true is one of the most important skills our students can learn. This ability has immediate benefits for such important tests as USAMTS or the USAMO as well as teaching the skills of reasoning and communication that can help [...]
