Geometry Projects
Introduction by Francis Glassborow
In general having support for graphics is desirable for writing geometry based programs. Sometimes it is possible to get away with a pure text based display. An example of this is the pentominoe tiling project.
The main difficulties with geometric projects is working out how to display the results, and finding a way of solving the problem. In general there is no great demand on the depth of knowledge of the programming language.
Many people find geometry a particularly difficult area of mathematics which is a pity because it is full of richly rewarding problems.
