Resumen:
|
GLI (Geometric Locus Identifier), an open web-based tool to determine equations of geometric loci specified using Cabri Geometry and The Geometer’s Sketchpad, is described. A geometric construction of a locus is uploaded to a Java Servlet server, where two computer algebra systems, CoCoA and Mathematica, following the Groebner basis method, compute the locus equation and its graph. Moreover, an OpenMath description of the geometric construction is given. GLI can be efficiently used in mathematics education, as a supplement of the locus functions of the standard dynamic geometry systems. The system is located at http://nash.sip.ucm.es/GLI/GLI.html .
