Snakes and Electric Fences: An Innovative Approach of Teaching Curve Sketching in Undergraduate Mathematics

In the study of Algebra and Calculus, curve sketching is always very interesting for both the teacher and the learner. This paper describes an innovative way of teaching curve sketching to first year undergraduate students by using the analogy of snakes and electric fences. A snake represents a cont...
