Exploring Infinite Series through Baravelle Spirals

Activity Description Activity GuideResources


  • The author of this website "The Geometry Junkyard" describes his site as "pages contain usenet clippings, web pointers, lecture notes, research excerpts, papers, abstracts, programs, problems, and other stuff related to discrete and computational geometry." The one specific page address below identifies many different types of spirals. http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/junkyard/spiral.html

  • This on-line "Infinite Series Tutorial" is written by Przemyslaw Bogacki from Old Dominion University, Virginia. The purpose of this Tutorial is to help you learn to (1) recognize the basic types of infinite series, and (2) choose appropriate convergence or divergence tests, when deciding convergence or divergence of a given infinite series.
