Wrath of amesG:

'''G.B. Halsted''' was a [[mathematics]] teacher at the [[University of Texas at Austin]] in the early twentieth century. He was interested in and a supporter of [[non-Euclidean geometry]] and translated the books of its two founders, [[Janos Bolyai]] and [[Nikolai Lobachevsky]], into [[English]]. He advocated teaching non-Euclidean geometry in high school instead of traditional [[Euclidean geometry]], which he viewed as obsolete.<ref>''A History of Mathematics Education in the United States and Canada'' National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) yearbook.</ref>

Slope is the steepness of a line. A positive slope rises; a negative slope falls. Another term for slope is gradient.

For a straight line, the slope (m) is constant and represented by the difference in the vertical direction (y) divided by the difference in the horizontal direction (x):

:: <math>m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}</math>

The delta, Δ, represents the difference in values between any two points in the x or y direction for straight line. For a curve, the delta, Δ, represents the difference in values for two points in very close proximity to each other.

For a straight line, another way of representing the slope (m) is as follows:

:<math>m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}</math>

where the two points are located at (x<sub>1</sub>, y<sub>1</sub>) and (x<sub>2</sub>, y<sub>2</sub>).

A '''Full Moon''' is the phase of the Moon when it is fully illuminated as a circle. Full Moons occur approximately every 28 days. [[Lunar eclipse]]s may only occur during a Full Moon.
