3 Why mathematical writing?
4 Why mathematical writing? 3. Writing is an essential skill, and many students are not good at it.
5 Why mathematical writing? 3. Writing is an essential skill, and many students are not good at it. 2. A preparation for --or an alternative to-- a final year project.
6 Why mathematical writing? 3. Writing is an essential skill, and many students are not good at it. 2. A preparation for --or an alternative to-- a final year project. 1. Writing forces one to think about structures.

8 Why mathematical writing? 3. Writing is an essential skill, and many students are not good at it. 2. A preparation for --or an alternative to-- a final year project. 1. Writing forces one to think about structures. 0. Teaching MW gives you X-rays into the studentsʼ thoughts. L. Alcock & A. Simpson, Ideas from mathematics education, MSOR (2009). We have found it illuminating to ask students to think aloud... as they work on mathematical tasks. This often uncovers fragility in the knowledge of even the strongest students.

16 ~100 words
17 ~100 words Write down the equation of a line passing trough the point. This equation will depend on one parameter, the line s slope, which is the quantity to be determined.
18 ~100 words Write down the equation of a line passing trough the point. This equation will depend on one parameter, the line s slope, which is the quantity to be determined.
19 ~100 words Write down the equation of a line passing trough the point. This equation will depend on one parameter, the line s slope, which is the quantity to be determined. Adjoin the equation of the line to that of the circle and eliminate one of the unknowns. After a substitution, you ll end up with a quadratic equation in one unknown, whose coefficients depend on the parameter.

Adjoin the equation of the line to that of the circle and eliminate one of the unknowns. After a substitution, you ll end up with a quadratic equation in one unknown, whose coefficients depend on the parameter. Equate the discriminant of the quadratic equation to zero, to obtain an equation -also quadratic- for the slope. Its two solutions are the desired slopes of the tangent lines. Any configuration involving vertical lines (infinite slope) will require a variant of the above procedure.
