Las Funciones Sinusoidales y los Fenómenos Armónicos = The Sinusoidal Functions and the Harmonic Phenomena
Ortega, Minerva Martínez; Mejia Velasco, Hugo R.; Martínez, María De Los Angeles
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (38th, Tucson, AZ, Nov 3-6, 2016)
In this research we discuss relating the description of certain harmonic phenomena, with models that represent them, with the goal of promoting the understanding of the period, the frequency, and the amplitude of the trigonometric functions, particularly referring to sinusoidal functions; in this way the frontier between sinusoidal functions and one of its areas of application to physics is preserved. This is an ongoing research study where digital technology like a movement sensor is employed in order to generate graphics related to sinusoidal functions, in which the movement features followed by harmonic phenomena are identified. It is important to mention the use of an approach where it is possible to transit alternatively from the analysis of the phenomena to the mathematical model. It is conjectured that the way it approaches sinusoidal functions could help assign meaning to the model f(x) =Acos(?x+[phi]). [Written in both Spanish and English.
