Straighten it Out -- MMTC
This sequence of interactive activities was originally presented as a mini-course at the Middlebury Math Teacher's Circle, August 2019. It is suitable for a wide variety of mathematical audiences.
Abstract: We'll discuss a few principles of optimizing a network of edges amongst a set of nodes (or points). In the process, we'll encounter illustrative activities that can be used in courses on Geometry (constructive, deductive or practical), Calculus, Graph Theory, Combinatorics, and others.
