Research and Lesson Plan: The History of Diophantine Equations and a Parametric Equations Lesson Plan
By Deanne Edman and Larry Cooper

Diophantine Algebra
He is often considered the "Father of Algebra".
He wrote a series of books "Arithmetica".
Of the thirteen books, only six have survived.
Diophantine equations can be defined as polynomial equations.
He was interested in integer solutions.

Represents the end of a movement among Greeks away from geometrical algebra to a system of algebra that did not depend on geometry.
Diophantus was a Greek Mathematician from Alexandria who was believed to have lived from (200-284) A.D.

Multiple Choice
What is the standard form of the equation of a line?
y = mx + b
Ax + By = C
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y = Ax + By

Multiple Choice
Which equation is written in STANDARD form?
y = 1/2x + 2
y - 3 = -5(x + 2)
-7x + 2y = 9
3x + 2 = y
