Featured Items:
A Gallery of Ray Tracing for Geometers New This gallery of images and animations shows many examples of how the POVray ray-tracing software can be used to display examples in three-dimensional geometry,		Trisecting a Line Segment (With World Record Efficiency!) New This article looks at several geometric, straightedge-and-compass constructions for trisecting a line segment, comparing them based on the numbers of lines or circles required for the construction.
Thinking Outside the Box -- or Maybe Just About the Box This article presents a fresh look at an age-old calculus optimization problem, the 'box problem.' (Also includes a Student Module condensed from the article.)		More Features: Seashells Visualizing Lie Subalgebras Math on the Web Made Easier Generalized Baseball Curves

Report Problems, Make Suggestions

Loci is a new publication being delivered on a newly-revised MathDL content management system. While we have done extensive testing, some problems are still likely to be present. If you see one of these, please send an email to the MAA Webmaster

For suggestions for changes in the design or presentation of Loci, contact the MathDL Executive Editor, Lang Moore.
