| 20150031001 | Calculus teaching and demonstration aid - The claimed calculus teaching and demonstration device has an internal volume in the shape of two perpendicular axes and a mathematical function that can be filled with a measured amount of liquid and thus used to illustrate the calculus concept of area under the curve. | 01-29-2015 |
| 20150037766 | CONVEX EQUILATERAL POLYHEDRA WITH POLYHEDRAL SYMMETRY - A new class of polyhedron is constructed by decorating each of the triangular facets of an icosahedron with the T vertices and connecting edges of a “Goldberg triangle.” A unique set of internal angles in each planar face of each new polyhedron is then obtained, for example by solving a system of n equations and n variables, where the equations set the dihedral angle discrepancy about different types of edge to zero, where the independent variables are a subset of the internal angles in 6 gons. Alternatively, an iterative method that solves for angles within each hexagonal ring may be solved for that nulls dihedral angle discrepancy throughout the polyhedron. The 6 gon faces in the resulting “Goldberg polyhedra” are equilateral and planar, but not equiangular, and nearly spherical. | 02-05-2015 |
| 20150294598 | CONNECT-THE-NODES - Techniques for teaching geometric proof problems are described. According to one approach, the geometric proof application displays a geometric proof problem and a set of connectable nodes in an initial arrangement. A user then rearranges the set of connectable nodes and connects them using one-way connections to generate a solution. The geometric proof problem is solved if the user-generated solution indicates the correct logical ordering of the set of connectable nodes as determined by the geometric proof application. | 10-15-2015 |
