| Abstrak | : | 4X games are a genre of modern computer games, exemplified by the Civilization series, whose initial stages implicitly involve exploring an unknown graph. One exploration scheme is “move to nearest unvisited vertex” and this is in fact forced in the game Endless Space. We revisit the small body of old “worst case” results about the efficiency of this scheme, and comment on the unstudied “average case” problem. |

| Abstrak | : | It is well known that a rigid motion of the Euclidean plane can be written as the composition of at most three reflections. It is perhaps not so widely known that a rigid motion of n-dimensional Euclidean space can be written as the composition of at most n + 1 reflections. The purpose of the present article is, firstly, to present a natural proof of this result in dimension 3 by explicitly constructing a suitable sequence of reflections, and, secondly, to show how a careful analysis of this construction provides a quick and pleasant geometric path to Euler’s rotation theorem, and to the complete classification of rigid motions of space, whether orientation preserving or not. We believe that our presentation will highlight the elementary nature of the results and hope that readers, perhaps especially those more familiar with the usual linear algebra approach, will appreciate the simplicity and geometric flavor of the arguments. |

| Abstrak | : | Although treated as “obvious” since antiquity, the first complete proof that “a quadrilateral with given sides achieves the maximum area when it is cyclic” is attributed to Bretschneider (1842), who proved it using trigonometry. Peter (2003) proved it using calculus. It also follows from the isoperimetric inequality, proved geometrically in [Citation5] and [Citation11]. Here we give a new Euclidean geometric proof, starting from a different maximization problem: Find the tallest vertical line segment sandwiched between two semi-circles in a plane lying on opposite sides of a horizontal line with (partially) overlapping diameters. |

| Abstrak | : | Do the theorems we prove in our analysis classes justify the calculations we teach in calculus classes? In this article I use some examples of integration by substitution to show that the answer is more complicated than one might think. |
