Using Discovery in the Calculus Class
Shilgalis, Thomas W.
Mathematics Teacher, 68, 2, 144-147, Feb 75
This article shows how two discoverable theorems from elementary calculus can be presented to students in a manner that assists them in making the generalizations themselves. The theorems are the mean value theorems for derivatives and for integrals. A conjecture is suggested by pictures and then refined. (Author/KM)
