  • zn − pz + q = 0. .....(1)

    The usual method of solution by means of a fixed curve and varying line is to draw the curve y = zn, and find where it is cut by the line y=pz − q.

    The following method is quicker, and has some aspects of theoretic interest to recommend it. It consists in taking p, q as coordinates, and in drawing the curve given by the parametric equation

    which is the condition that the given equation (1) shall have equal roots.

  • The Calculus as an Item in School Mathematics

  • A bold induction by simple enumeration has been made. The graph when plotted confirms it. Let elementary algebra justify it. A little later the algebra will come first.

    Just when to introduce the synlbol Δ is of course a question of knowing the class.

    How the differences give the slope of certain chords will be evident. How far at this stage to allow the question of the tangent to arise is a question of tact.
