Understanding a quadratic equation and finding its solutions (roots) is a challenging part of the curriculum where students encounter a rich domain of mathematics - including geometry, numbers (real and complex), and functions.
Visualizing the solution of these equations is a valuable tool for meeting this challenge at any level.
Starting with the Greek, Hindu, and Islamic representation of the problem connected to finding areas and squares, participants will take a hands on tour through various visualizations including connections to graphs and mapping diagrams and concluding with recent work on visualizing complex functions with 3D mapping diagrams using Geogebra.
