Game Building with Complex-Valued Functions
Dittman, Marki; Soto-Johnson, Hortensia; Dickinson, Scott; Harr, Tim
PRIMUS, v27 n8-9 p869-879 2017
In this paper, we describe how we integrated complex analysis into the second semester of a geometry course designed for preservice secondary mathematics teachers. As part of this inquiry-based course, the preservice teachers incorporated their geometric understanding of the arithmetic of complex numbers and complex-valued functions to create a game using "Geometer's Sketchpad." We detail a game created by a pair of preservice teachers that exemplifies their creativity and knowledge of complex-valued functions. Given inquiry-based courses have inherent challenges we also present projects that were not as exemplary.
