Abstract

With the same methodology of the previous chapter, in this chapter there is an outline of vertical path about geometric topics typical of the secondary school. Of course, the algorithm and computational aspect in the MatCos 3.X environment are more developed with respect to classical arguments, surely of interest. In particular, the presentation of conics in both the Euclidean and Cartesian plan is emphasized, based on construction algorithms by points, which can be easily implemented in the MatCos 3.X programming environment. Even solid geometry, or in three dimensions, will be characterized by effective construction algorithms of the solid figures presented. Some of these algorithms are general in nature.
