Assignment 1.

05

Argument A: There is a need for students to understand and be able to construct geometric figures using a compass and a straightedge. Argument B: There is no need for students to use a compass and straightedge, and all geometric constructions should be done using a drawing program. I chose Argument B Reasoned Arguments and Refutation of argument A proponents

1.

In such a technological world like the 21 century you really do figure why anything is hand made.

More and more we see it's actually the opposite with the innovation of 3d printers more and more will be made through a very basic artificial device. Notice how argument B never mentions or directly states that there is no need to understand geometric figures the reason for that is because you will enhance the process with your computer. Who better a mentor on reaching perfect geometric figures without any flaw through a computer whose sole purpose is computation which every mainstream and even cringe scholars and academics use.

2.

Doing constructions through the computer should give any non technical expert on any geometry

given program a slight difficulty at first which in after 30 minutes will result in high level expertise. Thus allowing said person to complete assignments faster and give said person a more personal introduction into their Pc.

3.

Much more in arguments don't need to be given seeing as how this assignment is based on a similar

mentality applied on a whole scale with public school system which is being done through my computer with human interaction in the sense of teachers, Not only do they believe this but practice it several times seeing as how this whole class is based on access to a computer.
