THE HISTORY OF LIMIT: FROM GEOMETRY AND NUMBER SEQUENCE PERSPECTIVE
This project explores some classical mathematics problems from ancient Greece and the 17th century. The problems to be studied are the ratio of the areas of two circles solved by Eudoxus, the area of parabolic segment solved by Archimedes, and the construction of sequences of approximating a non...

| Summary: | This project explores some classical mathematics problems from ancient Greece
and the 17th century. The problems to be studied are the ratio of the areas of two
circles solved by Eudoxus, the area of parabolic segment solved by Archimedes, and
the construction of sequences of approximating a non perfect square roots solved
by Girard. This project involved an analysis of the mathematical content based
on historical contextual which focused on problem-solving. The literary sources
used are the indirect sources such as article paper, books, and other literature. The
results of research on these issues can be used as recommendations to teachers as
one of alternative teaching materials which help students initially understand the
limit concept. |
