Math for everyoneN°167Jan 26, 2016Dynamic geometry: rediscovering plane motion!
Plane motion provides a valuable framework for using kinematics to study the geometric properties of figures. In particular, it offers an efficient and insightful way to determine loci. In the past, it was studied in connection with the connecting-rod and crank mechanisms of locomotives.
