| BULLETIN: | Study of geometries, concentrating on Euclidean, non-Euclidean, and projective geometries; examination of axiomatic foundations and qualitative study of the geometries; considers briefly Mohr-Mascheroni constructions and impossible constructions. Prerequisite: MATH 281 and permission of instructor. Offered even years only. | ||||||||||||
| OBJECTIVES: | After
finishing this course, the student should understand the
concepts of Euclidean geometry and its methods of
proof. The student should be able to construct
efficient proofs of geometric theorems and understand why
these techniques are important. In addition, the
student will be introduced to non-Euclidean and projective
geometries. |
