It is remarkable how beautifully GeoGebra can illustrate this theorem with just a few lines of code! This is inspired by the work of CF Gauss. There are plenty of opportunities to draw students' attention to observe what happens if they try the various suggestions ... The winding number is nicely described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winding_number
