Understanding Transformations of Periodic Functions through Art.

Miller, Syrilda

Mathematics Teacher, v94 n8 p632-35 Nov 2001

Presents an interdisciplinary project for precalculus classes that allows students to increase their understanding of the mathematics of transformations of periodic functions and helps them see mathematics in art. Uses an applet that produces high-quality graphs and real works of art by using combinations of transformations of the sine and cosine functions. (KHR)
