Extract

This article considers the use of a range of computer tools for aiding geometric exploration, together with a suitable algebraic representation for objects connected with the triangle. The techniques are applied to produce new results in the geometry of the triangle. This is an extended version of part of the contribution: How do computers change the way we do mathematics? given at the Association’s 1994 Easter Conference.
