Recognition and Visualization of Curves in \(\mathbb {E}^3\) : A Didactic Proposal with Computational Support and Student-Constructed Examples
摘要
This paper presents a didactic strategy for teaching the concept of curves in three-dimensional Euclidean space, supported by symbolic and graphical tools from Wolfram Mathematica. Based on the formal mathematical definition, a collaborative activity was designed where students were challenged to propose subsets of \(\mathbb {E}^3\) and determine whether they qualify as curves according to the criteria of smooth parametrization and regularity. Selected examples are analyzed and visualized, demonstrating how this active, technology-assisted methodology fosters conceptual understanding and engagement.
